'''Umm Qirfa''' was an elderly Arab woman contemporaneous to [[Muhammad]], the prophet of [[Islam]]. She is said to have belonged to a [[Pagan Origins of Islam|pagan]] tribe named Banu Fazara at the valley of al-Qurra. The elderly woman was also said to be a chief of her clan, which was brutally [[Jihad in Islamic Law|killed]] when Muhammad and his followers [[List of expeditions of Muhammad|raided]] and overpowered them. The attack took place almost six years after Muhammad’s Hijra (هِجْرَة Migration) to [[Medina]] in 622 AD. Traditional sources recount how Muhammad's [[Sahabah|companions]] tied Umm Qirfa to a pair of camels which, after being made to run in opposite directions, tore her body in half. | '''Umm Qirfa''' was an elderly Arab woman contemporaneous to [[Muhammad]], the prophet of [[Islam]].
