The Portrait
What Khawlah Bint Azwar asks of its bearer
The first letter of Khawlah Bint Azwar is Kha — an outward self with hidden depth. Through the interior, Waw brings an interior that connects; Lam brings an interior bound by love and attachment. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. And Khawlah Bint Azwar closes on Alif: everything resolves back to the source. The whole sequence is one instruction: let the Muslim warrior woman be the practice, not the label.
Khalid ibn al-Walid, the Sword of Allah who never lost a battle, said: 'I have never seen a warrior fight like this person.' It was Khawlah bint al-Azwar.
