The Lioness of Islam | Sahabiyat Series Ep 5

Khawla bint al-Azwar (رضي الله عنها) stands among the most extraordinary women in Islamic history — a symbol of courage, faith, and unwavering strength. This historical documentary traces her inspiring journey from childhood and early training to her legendary role in the Battle of Yarmouk, where her bravery astonished both allies and enemies.

Born into the noble Banu Asad tribe, Khawla grew up in a culture of honor, discipline, and warrior training. Alongside her brother Dhirar ibn al-Azwar, she mastered riding, swordsmanship, and battlefield strategy — skills that would later define her place in history. At a time when women were rarely seen on battlefields, Khawla shattered expectations through her resolve, intelligence, and deep faith in Allah.

This documentary carefully explores:

Khawla bint al-Azwar’s childhood and upbringing

Her training and character development

The capture of her brother and the moment that changed history

How she entered the battlefield disguised and fearless

The historic misunderstanding where warriors believed she was Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA)

Her decisive and heroic role in the Battle of Yarmouk

Her legacy as Islam ki Sherni — The Lioness of Islam

Presented with cinematic storytelling, historically accurate visuals, and a respectful narrative tone, this film aims to revive the legacy of a woman whose courage still inspires generations today.

This is not just a story of war —
It is a story of imaan, sacrifice, honor, and strength.
