Ismah (in Arabic: عِصْمَة ) is the concept of infallibility in Islam. The word literally means "protection." Muslims believe that Muhammad and other prophets in Islam possessed ismah. Shi'a Muslims also attribute the quality to Shi'a Imams as well as to Fatima Zahra, daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
