14

 





Christianity

There is a fourteen-point silver star marking the traditional spot of Jesus’ birth in the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem. According to the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, “...there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah” (Matthew 1:17).

Islam

In Islam, 14 has a special significance because of the Fourteen Infallibles who are especially revered and important in Twelver Shi'ism. They are all considered to be infallible by Twelvers alongside the Prophets of Islam, however these fourteen are said to have a greater significance and closeness to God.

These fourteen include:

  1. Prophet Muhammad (SAWA)
  2. His daughter, Lady Fatima (SA)
  3. Her husband, Imam Ali (AS)
  4. His son, Imam Hasan (AS)
  5. His brother, Imam Husayn (AS)
  6. His son, Imam Ali al-Sajjad (AS)
  7. His son, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS)
  8. His son, Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS)
  9. His son, Imam Musa al-Kazim (AS)
  10. His son, Imam Ali al-Rida (AS)
  11. His son, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (AS)
  12. His son, Imam Ali al-Hadi (AS)
  13. His son, Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS)
  14. His son, Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi (AJTFS)
