| siddiqui on: Apr 14th, 2002, 12:54pm I am sending the answer to q 5 COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF IAM WRONG SO I CAN SEARCH FURTHER Princess Sara, the granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths, chartered a ship in Seville (Andalusia, Spain) to travel to Damascus with the intention of pleading her case to Umayyad Caliph Hisham. It was 739 or 740 CE when she left Seville, sailed down the river and upon entering the Mediterranean sailed east to the port of Ascalon. She then continued on to Damascus by land. The purpose of her visit was to demand restitution of more than one thousand estates in Seville that had been confiscated by her uncle Ardabasto. Her right to inherit the estates were confirmed according to the Islamic law by the governor of North Africa (whose authority included Al-Andalus at the time) and the previous Caliph in Damascus. Caliph Hisham welcomed her warmly, upheld her claim and instructed his governor to enforce it immediately. Sara then married 'Isa ibn Muzahim, one of the Muslims at caliph's court and returned to Seville with her husband. The couple had two sons, Ibrahim and Ishaq. Princess Sara's journey was described by historian Abu Bakr ibn al-Qutiyyah who died in 978. Abu Bakr was a great-grandson of Ibrahim and the 'ibn al-Qutiyyah' in his name means "the son of the Gothic woman," referring to his lineage. Because of their lineage to Sara, the Gothic princess, the Banu al-Qutiyyah had established themselves as a distinguished Hispano-Arab family. Sara's husband 'Isa died in 755. That same year the last Umayyad survivor 'Abdur-Rahman, a 25-year old prince, fleeing from Abbasids made his way through North Africa and arrived in Spain. Soon thereafter he embarked on building the most brilliant Muslim civilization in Al-Andalus. No sooner had he arrived, Sara traveled to Cordoba to greet 'Abdur-Rahman to express her gratitude to the Umayyads. It is at this meeting that Abdur-Rahman reminded Sara that they had met before in Damascus, when she had pleaded her case before his grandfather Caliph Hisham. After the death of 'Isa, Sara married Umayr ibn Sa'id al-Lakhmi whose family went back to Lakhmid kings of al-Hirah in Iraq. With this union Sara bore a son and the descendants of this union between the Gothic princess and an Arab aristocrat were known as the Banu Hajjaj. Mary, the mother of 'Abdur-Rahman III, was a descendant of princess Sara. Sara's numerous descendants lived in Seville, Niebla (Lablah) and in southern Portugal. The Banu Hajjaj held high office in Seville for several hundred years and played an important political role in the tenth century.

Jazakallah, Imran on: Apr 17th, 2002, 1:31pm Noor Since this was hardly a question (I have no idea what jeopardy is), i'll post my answer as a link. Read about the princess here: http://users.erols.com/gmqm/saragp.html Abu_Atheek Gothic Princess Sara Sara, the granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths, chartered a ship in Seville (Andalusia, Spain) to travel to Damascus with the intention of pleading her case to Umayyad Caliph Hisham.

Story from: http://cyberistan.org/islamic/saragp.html subhanakallahhumma wa bihamdika ash-hadu al-laa ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atoobu ilaik. Road2Jannah hey, i would like to use a life line, the 50/50 one inshallah Taalibatul_ilm You were very specific about saying daugther of a king, but I could only find a story about a granddaughter of a king: Sara, the granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths, chartered a ship in Seville (Andalusia, Spain) to travel to Damascus with the intention of pleading her case to Umayyad Caliph Hisham. It was 739 or 740 CE when she left Seville, sailed down the river and upon entering the Mediterranean sailed east to the port of Ascalon. She then continued on to Damascus by land.The purpose of her visit was to demand restitution of more than one thousand estates in Seville that had been confiscated by her uncle Ardabasto Her right to inherit the estates were confirmed according to the Islamic law by the governor of North Africa (whose authority included Al-Andalus at the time) and the previous Caliph in Damascus. Caliph Hisham welcomed her warmly, upheld her claim and instructed his governor to enforce it immediately. Either the Islamic use of daughter and granddaughter are being interchanged, which is established in use by the Prophet when he called Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn 'these two sons of mine' or I am completely wrong. إنّ هذا القرآن يهدي للتي هي أقوم ويبشّرُ المؤمنين الّذين يعملون الصالحت أنّ لهم أجرًا كبيرًا Indeed this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward. Al-Isra' 9 eleanor WHO IS SARA THE GOTHIC PRINCESS?? wasalaam eleanor SisterHania Who was Gothic Princess Sara, granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths? Malik ibn Anas (d.179H) said, "The Sunnah is like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarks upon it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is drowned." [Majmoo' ul-Fatawaa 4/57] |

Zahoor http://users.erols.com/gmqm/saragp.html bhaloo salaam, id like to use a 50/50 regis. Wasalaam, Arshad http://get.to/islam BrKhalid Asalaamu Alaikum Phew just in time. Can I phone a friend please Regis? Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of God: for God forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful [39:53] talib_ilm Assalam Alaykum Waramatullah, I like to use mylifeline. I would like to request a 50/50. When is the deadline to respond to a 50/50 question? Wasalam Alaykum AbdulKareem noera as salaamu alaikum, hmm... so i was waiting for a 50/50 but i've found an answer and i think i'm still within the time limit so here goes. i'm not sure if this is allowed or it means i forfeit my 50/50. if i have to forfeit my 50/50 that's ok with me. it's probably more fair. my final answer: who is princess sara? she's also known as the gothic princess sara. "Sara, the granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths, chartered a ship in Seville (Andalusia, Spain) to travel to Damascus with the intention of pleading her case to Umayyad Caliph Hisham. It was 739 or 740 CE when she left Seville, sailed down the river and upon entering the Mediterranean sailed east to the port of Ascalon. She then continued on to Damascus by land.

From the following website: http://users.erols.com/gmqm/saragp.html walaikum as salaam, noera btw, this is a really cool story. thanks for making us look it up! BrKhalid Asalaamu Alaikum The sarcastic answer would be someone who knew the right answer!!! But enough of that. Okay l'll go with se7en. Let's hope she didn't need to use a lifeline!!! Many thanks Regis bhaloo salaam, uhhh, shouldn't there be a little more detail to this question? like elizabeth is the daughter of this king, and isabella is the daughter of that king, etc.? Quote: Answer as soon as you can inshallah: Here is your 50/50: The answer is either: a. Elizabeth b. Isabella c. Noor d. Sara The answer is NOT a or c. imran Gothic Princess Sara imran BrKhalid Okay Regis, I'll go with that talib_ilm Assalam Alaykum Waramatullah Regis, The answer to the question is Sara. She was the granddaughter of Witiza, penultimate king of the Visigoths. She pleaded her case to the Umayyad Caliph Hisham. This was in the year 739/740. Interesting that she later married 'Isa ibn Muzahim, who was one of the Muslim's at the Caliph's court. They had 2 sons, Ibrahim and Ishaq. And they lived happily ever after I shouldn't have asked for a lifeline, if I had spent more time to research the question. Oh well... I don't think I can win anyway except if Allah wills. I missed a question already. The source for my answer is : http://users.erols.com/gmqm/saragp.html Wasalam Alaykum Waramatullah, Abdulkareem |
