Just to mention that Fatemeh is the daughter of the Prophet Mohammad( PBUH)

Fatemeh was the daughter of Prophet Muhammad and not his wife. His wife's name was Khdijeh; a wealthy woman in her 40’s when she married Muhammad who was in his early 20’s.

Also, Tabaraok means blessing.

Gee, we started doing that a long time ago, then! ;)
