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.
