Khawla bint Al Azwar: The Woman who fought like Khalid bin Walid

Product Information

Problems create opportunities, and we should take them to demonstrate our skills and make ourselves able to grow. Khawla’s brother was taken prisoner and against all odds she went to look for him. At the end, not only that she found her brother, but she was recognized as a talented military leader. She made her remarks in a speech to the “Dira’ Al Watan” magazine, Nation Shield, the journal of the Armed Forces. Gripped by uncontrollable hysteria, Khawlah bint al-Azwar (ra) put on a warrior’s armor, covered her face with a veil and wrapped her waist in a green shawl. She rode her mare and grabbed what some think is a sword and others a spear.

Galloping she crossed through the Roman ranks using her weapon skillfully against whoever crossed her path and with revenge she killed as many Byzantine soldiers as she could. Her name remained greatly unknown, until the battle of Ajnadin, not far from Jerusalem, where Drear lost his spear, fell from his horse, and was taken prisoner. She donned a male knight's attire, took her arms and rode her mare through the Roman ranks, using her sword skillfully against whoever tried to stop her. The Muslim soldiers, and their leader Khalid, watched her with great admiration, presuming that she was a man.
