Do you ever think about what you are doing with the limited time and resources you have in this life? What will you leave behind when you are gone?Meet Fatima al-Fihri, the founder of the world’s oldest university, which is still operating today! Al-Qarawiyyin was built as a mosque around 840 AD and when Fatima purchased it and rebuilt it into a university, she doubled it in size and opened it as the FIRST institution for higher learning that offered graduate and post-graduate degrees in Islamic Studies, mathematics, grammar, and medicine. This university is about 200 years older than the first European university, and as I mentioned, it’s still operating today and also holds the world’s oldest library!It is INCREDIBLY powerful to think about how much of a permanent and lasting impact ONE woman (<3 Fatima al-Fihri <3) was able to make in her lifetime. What legacy will YOU leave behind? --------------Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iconicwomenpodcast& Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahkheeter/Shop Merchandise!: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CupcakesandApplejax
