Since the life of Ahl al-Bayt has always been one of the important subjects of religious literature, it is inevitable to pay attention to the life of Fatima. This article, with an analytical approach, seeks to answer the question, what are the turning capabilities of the biography of Fatimah to enter the fiction literature in Persian language?
