Abstract :
Zaynab Kobra (PBUH) is the daughter of Hazrat Ali (PBUH) and Hazrat Fatimah (PBUH) who has opened her eyes to the world in the sixth century of AH. The name Zaynab was named by the Prophet (PBUH) and they had given her various nicknames, such as Aghileh Bani Hashem, Umm Kulthum in history. In Arabic literature, Umm Kulthum is a nickname to respect a dear lady which is considered to be reverence. Umm Kulthum is one of the most popular and common nicknames of Hazrat Zaynab (PBUH) that has been given to her. Despite the reputation of the great lady of Islam and their role, especially in the terrible events at Karbala, as well as other issues related to the lives of Imams, many of her life are in the aura of ambiguity. (Due to the dominant powers of the time, such as Banu Umayya and Abbasid which have been the enemies of the Ahl al-Bayt, the life of Hazrat Zaynab (PBUH) also has some ambiguity, including is Zaynab the same as Umm Kulthum or is it related to the two daughters of Hazrat Ali (PBUH) and Fatimah (PBUH)?In this study, which has been written in a descriptive-analytic manner, the author by using the main historical sources has concluded that Umm Kulthum is the same as Zaynab (PBUH), and Hazrat Fatimah and Hazrat Ali (PBUH) had only one daughter, and that was Zaynab (PBUH) whose nickname was Umm Kulthum.)
