One Wish: Fatima al-Fihri and the World’s Oldest University
Written by: M.O. Yuksel
Illustrated by: Mariam Quraishi
Fatima loved learning and dreamed of building a school for all. She faced hardships in her country due to war and loss. She persevered and built a school for all over 1,000 years ago. The university is still operating today.
“Fatima knew her school was like planting a single seed that would continuously bloom with each student who studied there. Her school, which was also a mosque and a library, opened its arms ready to serve the community Fatima so loved.”
