This is how they killed Qurrat al-Ayn

Description

In the final years of Najib Pasha’s rule, Iraqi society was captivated by the story of a remarkable woman named Qurrat al-Ayn. She unveiled her face, ascended the pulpit, delivered sermons, and engaged in debate—a first in the history of Iraq, and perhaps in the history of the entire East for many centuries.

In this book, Dr. Ali al-Wardi sheds light on this figure, revealing all the events surrounding her life and the repercussions they had on religious circles in Iraq. He ultimately recounts how she was captured and killed.
