Al-Khansa
Tumāḍir bint ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith ibn al-Sharīd al-Sulamīyah (), usually simply referred to as al-Khansāʾ (, meaning "snub-nosed", an Arabic epithet for a gazelle as metaphor for beauty) was a 7th-century tribeswoman, living in the Arabian Peninsula. She was one of the most influential poets of the pre-Islamic and early Islamic periods. In her time, the role of a female poet was to write elegies for the dead and perform them for the tribe in public oral competitions. Al-Khansāʾ won respect and fame in these competitions with her elegies, and is widely considered as the finest author of Arabic elegies and one of the greatest and best known female Arab poets of all time. In 629, she went to Medina with a deputation from her clan and, after meeting the Islamic prophet Muhammad, embraced the new religion. Her poetry was later recorded by Muslim scholars, who were studying unaltered Arabic of her time in order to explicate the language of early Islamic texts. Life Al ...

Al-Khansaa Brigade
The Al-Khansaa Brigade () was an all-women police or religious enforcement unit of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), operating in its ''de facto'' capitals of Raqqa and Mosul. History Formed in 2014 and initially consisting of around sixty women, the brigade was used to enforce Sharia law, mainly in IS-occupied Raqqa and Mosul, but also in refugee camps as IS territory collapsed. The group was probably named after Al-Khansa, a female Arabic poet from the earliest days of Islam. It was unique in the Muslim world as, in other regimes with similar systems of religious police (such as Saudi Arabia), only men are permitted to enforce hisbah among women. After initially being set up to enable men disguised as women to be identified through searches at checkpoints, the group's role was expanded to police and punish women according to IS regulations, with the size of the group expanding to include 1000 women. An IS official, Abu Ahmad, said in 2014, "We have established the bri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
