This video explains an interesting story about one of Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) aunts, Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her).
Al-Bukhari reported that the Prophet (pbuh) had a vision while visiting his paternal aunt. He said to her, “My community has been shown to me. I saw them waging war on the seas like kings sitting on thrones. You will be among the first ones.”
Forty years later, Umm Haram participated in the conquest of Cyprus.
Indeed, Muslims were facing attacks from Byzantines on Syria’s coastline who used Cyprus as their base.
Concerning this issue, Muslims launched their first naval expedition under the command of Uthman. Historical sources indicate that Cyprus inhabitants negotiated a peace treaty agreeing to stay neutral.
While on the island, Umm Haram fell violently from her horse or mule. Consequently, she died from her injuries and was buried there.
In order to honour her, the Ottomans built a Mosque next to her tomb. Nowadays, Muslims come to pay their respects to the “pious Lady“, Umm Haram. May Allah be pleased with her, amern.
