Umm Qirfa was an old Arab woman contemporaneous to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. She was also a chief who belonged to a pagan tribe named Banu Fazara at Wadi Al-Qurra.
She was brutally killed during Muhammad and his followers raided her tribe and overpowered them. The incident took place almost six years after Muhammad’s Hijra (هِجْرَة Migration) to Medina in 622 AD.
