Biography

In 859, she founded a madrasah at a mosque, which today is the oldest university in the world. The mosque is now also operational, and is one of the largest in North Africa. [2] [3] [4]

She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, received a good education. [1] The family emigrated to Fez from the city of Kairouan (present-day Tunisia ), therefore the mosque and madrassas bear this name. [five]

Her sister Maryam sponsored the Al-Andalus Mosque and, together with her sister, became one of the founding women of the mosques. [6]

At the madrasah she founded a library. In May 2016, the library was reopened after restoration. A collection of more than 4,000 manuscripts includes the Qur'an of the 9th century and early collections of hadiths. [7] [8]
