Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السيدة زينب) is a shrine located in Damascus, Syria, that contains the grave of Zaynab daughter of 'Alī and Fātimah, and granddaughter of Muhammad (Peace and blessings upon Him) (Arabic: زينب بنت علي ).
It is believed by Shī'a Muslims that this mosque is the authentic burial place of Lady Zaynab, whereas the mosque in Cairo by the same name belongs to: Zaynab b. Yahya b. Zayd b. 'Alī Zayn al-'Ābidīn (i.e. the great grand-daughter of the Imam).[1] The most authentic sources suggest that the grave is in Damascus.
Fatimid /Dawoodi Bohra believe that this mosque is burial place of Zaynab-ul-Sugra, Umm Kulthum,the younger daughter of Imam Ali.Lady Zaynab spent her last days in Cairo and her shrine is in Cairo. History narrated from noble ladies of Qahira/Cairo[2] support the claims.
