| | The Druze Faith |
 | | Their name was because the rulers were descended from Fatima, the daughter of Mohammed’s and his first wife Khadija. |
 | | Though ‘Abd al-Rahman offered 100 camels laden with clothing and 10,000 dinars to marry Fatima, and ‘Uthman offered the same, Mohammed married her off to a poor man, ‘Ali bin Abi/Abu Talib. |
 | | The Druze are interesting in that they respect Mohammed as a prophet, and believe the Qur’an was sent by God, yet their beliefs are so different from what is taught in the Qur’an. |
