Umm Haram was the sister of the Prophet’s foster mother – but also the wife of the head of the Muslim Navy Ubadah bin Saamit – and she volunteered to accompany him in the perilous journey. When the Muslims disembarked, Umm Haram’s horse suddenly got frightened and jumped violently causing Umm Haram to fall off and die as a result of her injuries. Umm Haram was buried on the very spot and a Mosque was built by the Ottomans, adjacent to her grave, in her honour. Ηundreds of Muslims visit her grave every year. the Hala Sultan Tekke in Cyprus is one of the most important holy places for Muslims?
