Learn the Inspiring Story of Al-Shifā’ and Discover Why We Pay Homage to Her.
Al-Shifā’ was the slave-girl of the Emir ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II b. al-Ḥakam until he freed and married her. She was one of the most intelligent, exquisite, devout, gracious, and regal women of her time. She constructed the mosque situated in the heart of the western outskirts of Cordoba and she also cared for her husband’s son, the future Emir Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Raḥmān.
Al-Shifā’ possessed a profound adoration for Islam, her spouse, and her community. She epitomized beauty both internally and externally. This inspires us at Al- Andalus Boutique to craft pieces that uphold our piety and faith while still exuding beauty and elegance.
