The blessed wedding of the most-infallible-ever couple, Hazrat Fatema Zahra (S.A.) and Imam Ali (A.S.)

On 1st of the Islamic month of Zil-Hajjah in 2 AH, the blessed wedding of the most-infallible-ever couple, Hazrat Fatema Zahra (SA) and Imam Ali (AS) took place in Medina, presided over by Prophet Mohammad (SAWA). It was indeed a marriage-made-in-heaven, since no man was worthy of the hand of the Prophet's immaculate daughter, the noblest lady of all times.
A famous hadith says, if there was no Imam Ali (AS), Hazrat Fatema (SA) would have remained a spinster, and this was the reason the Prophet used to politely turn down any proposal for marriage from wealthy and powerful suitors, saying God will decide who ought to be the groom for his noble daughter. Following their marriage, these two exemplary figures started a simple life that was filled with kindness and spirituality.
The fruit of this blessed union that guaranteed the continuation of the Prophet's progeny were two noble sons, Imam Hasan (AS) and Imam Husain (AS), and two virtuous daughters, Hazrat Zainab (SA) and Hazrat Omm Kolsoum (SA). The nuptials this day that were celebrated in the most modest manner with praises of God Almighty and without any extravagant dowry or bridal-money, serves as the all-time universal model for any Muslim couple anywhere in the world.
Thus was planted the blessed tree of perpetual munificence, whose branches in the form of the Saadaat or honoured descendants of Imam Ali (AS) and Hazrat Fatema (SA), have spread today all over the world. This made-for-each-other pair are the ancestors of the Infallible Imams, the last of whom is the eagerly awaited Redeemer of Mankind, Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance to cleanse the world of all vestiges of corruption and oppression, and to fill it with the global government of peace, prosperity, and justice).
