Name Root:
Ma‘ṣūm
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Arabic “ma‘ṣūm”, meaning “innocent, Immaculate, sinless, safeguarded, protected”. Fātimah bint Mūsā’ al-Kādhim (commonly known as: Fātimah al-Ma’sūmah; English Fātimah the Innocent), was the daughter of the seventh Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, Mūsā’ al-Kādhim and sister of the eighth Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, ‘Ali ar-Ridhā. Despite having being infallible, Fatima Masumeh is not considered one of the 14 most holy figures in Shia Islam. Yet, her brother Imam Ali al-Ridha gave her the title “Masumeh,” which means infallible or sinless. In Shi’ism, women either become saints by their own accord or because they are the sisters, daughters, or other saints’ wives. Since her death, the Fatima Masumeh Shrine has been embellished and reconstructed by many generations of Shi’i leaders in Iran. This shrine is one of the holiest in Iran and is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year who exalt Fatima Masumeh for her holiness and innocence.
