FATIMA is the name of a village near Lisbon, Portugal... It's the place where three siblings apparently saw several apparitions of Mary, "the Lady of the Rosary" over a period of several months around the early 20th century.
Subsequently, as news spread around like wildfire, tens of thousands of people went to that same site and they also witnessed some [solar?] phenomenon that the children saw earlier... There exists a shrine there today, dedicated to Mary. There's really more to this story, or "MIRACLE", and since then there also exist certain Letters [of Prophecy] written by one of the children to the Pope.
On the other hand, FATIMAH is the daughter of Muhammad and the object of veneration in Shi'ite Islam... as you may well be aware of.
Peace be with you!

In the spring of 1916, whereas the First World War was raging, at the Loca du Cabeco, an angel appeared to three small shepherd children. Lucy de Santos, then aged 10, was accompanied by her two cousins Jacinta (7) and Francisco Marto (10), all three from a very poor peasant family.
The shepherd children saw the vision of an angel of peace whose mission was to prepare them for the Coming of the Virgin Mary three times. For each Apparition, the angel invited the children to pray and accompanied them in their reverence.
During the summer, the angel appeared a second time to the children who were playing and urged them to pray "Constantly offer prayers and sacrifices to the Most High". He presented himself as the guardian angel of Portugal.
