'''Maryam Mohammad Yousif Farhat''' ({{lang-ar|مريم محمد يوسف فرحات}}), or Mariam Farahat (24 December 1949 – 17 March 2013), popularly known as '''Umm Nidal''' ({{lang-ar|أم نضال}}), "the mother of Nidal", or "''Khansa of Palestine''" ({{lang-ar|خنساء فلسطين}}), was a [[Palestinians|Palestinian]] politician, member of parliament in the [[Palestinian Legislative Council]], and one of [[Hamas]]' candidates elected in the [[2006 Palestinian legislative election]]. The word "''Nidal''" in Arabic is a term, meaning "struggle", "effort" or "work". She was one of the prominent Islamist female leaders in Palestine.

==Early life==
She was born in [[Shuja'iyya]] neighborhood in [[Gaza City]] on 24 December 1949.<ref>[http://www.aljazeera.com/archive/2005/12/2008410152059218110.html 'Mother of martyrs' runs for Hamas], Al Jazeera, 9 December 2005</ref>

==Khansa of Palestine==
She became known as "''Khansa of Palestine''" ({{lang-ar|خنساء فلسطين}}), the nickname came from [[Al-Khansa]] (one of [[Sahabah|the companions]] of prophet [[Muhammad]]), all four of whose sons were killed in the [[Battle of Qadisiyah]]. ''Umm Nidal'' got this title because of her great sacrifices - as in the Palestinian and [[Islamic culture]] - during the [[Second Intifada]] and before that, where her house was home to many prominent leaders of [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades]], especially [[Emad Akel]], who was assassinated in her home in 1993 by the [[Israel Defense Forces]].<ref>[http://www.qassam.ps/news-6759-Umm_Nidal_Farahat_died.html Hamas Prominent woman leader Passed Away] - [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades]] website, 17 March 2013</ref>

A third son, Rawad, died in 2005 in an Israeli [[airstrike]] on his car carrying [[Qassam rocket]].

==Attitude toward murder of civilians==
In an interview published in both the [[Israeli Arab]] weekly ''[[Kul al-Arab]]'' and the [[London]]-based Arabic-language daily ''[[Al-Quds Al-Arabi]]'', Umm Nidal said she was proud of her sons. In her December 2005 interview, Umm Nidal said:
<blockquote>"I protect my sons from defying Allah, or from choosing a path that would not please Allah. This is what I fear, when it comes to my sons. But as for sacrifice, Jihad for the sake of Allah, or performing the duty they were charged with - this makes me happy."

"They are all occupiers. Besides, don't forget that they all serve in the army. They are all considered soldiers. They are all reserve soldiers."
<br/>
"They are all occupiers, and we must fight them by any legitimate means."
<br/>
"All means are legitimate as long as the occupation continues."
<br/>
"There is no difference. This is Islamic religious law. I don't invent anything. I follow Islamic religious law in this. A Muslim is very careful not to kill an innocent person, because he knows he would be destined to eternal Hell. So the issue is not at all simple. We rely on Islamic religious law when we say there is no prohibition on killing these people."
<br/>
"The word 'peace' does not mean the kind of peace we are experiencing. This peace is, in fact, surrender and a shameful disgrace. Peace means the liberation of all of Palestine, from the [[Jordan River]] to the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. When this is accomplished - if they want peace, we will be ready. They may live under the banner of the Islamic state. That is the future of Palestine that we are striving towards."<ref>Interview aired by Dream2 TV on December 21, 2005</ref></blockquote>

==Death==
Farhat died on 17 March 2013, aged 64, from multiple organ failure, in Gaza. Her funeral was attended by 4,000 Palestinians and Hamas leader [[Ismail Haniyeh]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Barzak|first=Ibrahim|title=Palestinian Lawmaker, Mother of Militants, Dies|url=https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/palestinian-lawmaker-mother-militants-dies-18748414|newspaper=ABC News|date=17 March 2013|agency=AP}}</ref>
