Children of Muhammad

}}

}}

The common view is that the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]] had three sons, named [[Abd Allah ibn Muhammad|Abd Allah]], [[Ibrahim ibn Muhammad|Ibrahim]], and [[Qasim ibn Muhammad|Qasim]], and four daughters, named [[Fatima]], [[Ruqayya bint Muhammad|Ruqayya]], [[Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad|Umm Kulthum]], and [[Zainab bint Muhammad|Zaynab]]. The '''children of Muhammad''' are said to have been born to his first wife [[Khadija bint Khuwaylid]], except his son Ibrahim, who was born to [[Maria al-Qibtiyya]]. None of Muhammad's sons reached adulthood, but he had an adult foster son, [[Zayd ibn Harithah]]. Daughters of Muhammad all reached adulthood but only Fatima outlived her father. Citing, among others, the advanced age of Khadija, some [[Twelver Shi'ism|Twelver]] Shia sources contend that Fatima was the only biological daughter of Muhammad, as she is known to have enjoyed a closer relationship with Muhammad, compared to Ruqayya, Umm Kulthum, and Zaynab. That Fatima was the only biological daughter of Muhammad appears to be the mainstream view among Twelver [[Shia Islam|Shia Muslims]].
