Kifah Shah On Sayyida Al Hurra # Historic Muslimah Ramadan Series

Ramadan #HistoricMuslimah #22: "Sayyida al Hurra" by Kifah Shah | Today, Khateebah Kifah Shah inspires us with the life and legacy of Sayyida al Hurra (aka 'The Pirate Queen'), who started out as an Andalusian refugee in Morocco but who soon rose to become the governing Queen; she helped her city fight off invading Portuguese armies and rebuild in the aftermath of war. Kifah shows us how we can learn from Sayyida's and the Prophet Muhammad's (p) example a beautiful way to frame refugees as people who spread light wherever they go.
