}}Fatima bint Muhammad Al-Fihriya Al-Qurashiya ({{lang-ar| فاطمة بنت محمد الفهرية القرشية}}) was an Arab Muslim woman who is credited for founding the oldest existing, continually operating and first degree-awarding educational institution in the world, The University of Al Quaraouiyine in Fes, Morocco in 859 CE.[1]

Early Life

Al-Fihri was born in 800 AD. She and her sister, Miriam, had attended school and each received an education.[2] Mariam was the sponsor of the Al-Andalus mosque, also in Fes. Both were part of a larger tradition of women founding mosques.[3]The family was part of a large migration to Fes from the town of Kairouan (Qayrawan), in modern Tunisia, which lent its name to the mosque and madrassa she would found.[4]Although her family did not start out wealthy, her father, Mohammed al-Fihri, became successful as a merchant and gained wealth from his work in Fes. [5]During her childhood, she learned the Islamic jurisprudence Fiqh and studied the Hadith, records and writings of the prophet Muhammed.[6]

Founding Al Quaraouiyine

When Al-Fihri's father passed away, he left his money to her and her sister. Al-Fihri used her inheritance to establish The University of Al Qarawiynn. It started as a mosque with 22,000 worshippers, but later this place of worship grew into a place of education.[7][8] The madrasa Al-Fihri founded is still in operation today as the University of Al Quaraouiyine. It is the oldest continually operating educational institution in the world and is sometimes referred to as the world's oldest university, by being the first institution to award degrees indicative of different levels of study. The courses offered include Islamic Studies, mathematics, grammar, and medicine.[9] The mosque is also still in operation, and is one of the largest in North Africa.[10][11][12]

The library Al-Fhri founded at the university is the world's oldest library[13]. Canadian-Morroccan architect, Aziza Chaouni, restored the library and reopened it to the public in May 2016.[14][15] The library's collection of over 4000 manuscripts includes a 9th-century Qur'an and the earliest collection of hadiths.[16][17]

Death

Al-Fahri died in 880 AD at eighty years old. Her library and university had been running for twenty-four years.[18]
