الخنساء بنت عمرو السلمية
al-Khansa' bint Amr al-Sulami
Mother of the Martyrs
ਨਬੀ ﷺ ਨਾਲ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ
Al-Khansa met the Prophet who admired her eloquent elegies and she accepted Islam before his death. Her transformation from a pre-Islamic mourning poet into a mother who rejoiced at martyrdom exemplifies the power of the Prophet's message.
ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਮੁੱਖ ਘਟਨਾਵਾਂ
Accepted Islam and met the Prophet who praised her poetry
Sent all four of her sons to Battle of al-Qadisiyyah
All four sons were martyred; she praised Allah for the honour
ਪੂਰੀ ਜੀਵਨੀ
Al-Khansa' was a renowned pre-Islamic poet who accepted Islam and is best remembered for sending her four sons to the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in 16 AH with the words: 'You embraced Islam willingly, you emigrated by choice — fight in the way of Allah.' When all four were martyred on the same day, she did not weep in despair but said: 'Praise be to Allah who honoured me with their martyrdom.' She stands as the supreme symbol of a mother's faith-driven sacrifice.
