• 4:28
  He

  his
• 4:30
  community
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  especially
• 4:32
  his
• 4:32
  daughters.
• 4:33
  He
• 4:33
  made
• 4:33
  sure
• 4:34
  his

  daughters
• 4:34

• 4:35
  a

  which

  was

  pretty
• 4:37
  rare
• 4:38
  for

  girls
• 4:38
  at

  bit
• 4:47
  of
• 4:47
  knowledge
• 4:47
  they
• 4:47

• 4:48
  When

  was

  a
• 4:50
  young
• 4:50
  woman,
• 4:50
  her

  to

  move
• 4:52
  to
• 4:52
  Fez,
• 4:52
  Morocco.
• 4:54
  Let's
• 4:54
  imagine
• 4:54
  that

  journey
• 4:55
  together,
• 4:56
  maybe

• 4:57
  camels
• 4:58
  or
• 4:58
  horses
• 4:59
  carrying
• 4:59
  your
• 4:59
  belongings.
• 5:01
  Explorers,
• 5:02
  stand
• 5:02
  up
• 5:02
  for
• 5:02
  a

  moment
• 5:03
  We've
• 5:04
  got
• 5:04
  a
• 5:04
  long
• 5:04
  way
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  go.
• 5:06
  Start
• 5:06
  marching
• 5:06
  in
• 5:07
  place
• 5:07
  as
• 5:07
  if
• 5:07
  you're
• 5:08
  walking
• 5:08
  mile
• 5:09
  after
• 5:09
  mile.
• 5:10
  March,
• 5:11
  march.
• 5:12
  Feel
• 5:12
  the
• 5:13
  sand
• 5:13
  shifting
• 5:14
  under
• 5:14
  your
• 5:15
  feet.
• 5:16
  Now
• 5:16
  let's
• 5:16
  add
• 5:17
  in
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  sway
• 5:17
  from
• 5:18
  side
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  side
• 5:19
  just
• 5:20
  like
• 5:20
  you're
• 5:20
  riding
• 5:20
  on
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  camel's
• 5:21
  back.
• 5:22
  Sway,
• 5:23
  sway,
• 5:24
  sway.
• 5:25
  Do
• 5:26
  you
• 5:26
  see
• 5:26
  those
• 5:26
  mountains
• 5:27
  ahead?
• 5:28
  Take
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  deep
• 5:29
  breath
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  and
• 5:30
  lift
• 5:30
  your
• 5:30
  knees
• 5:31
  high
• 5:31
  towards
• 5:31
  your
• 5:32
  chest.
• 5:33
  A
• 5:33
  little
• 5:33
  higher.
• 5:34
  We're
• 5:34
  climbing
• 5:35
  uphill
• 5:35
  now.
• 5:36
  High
• 5:36
  step.
• 5:36
  High
• 5:37
  step
• 5:37
  up
• 5:37
  High
• 5:37
  step.
• 5:38
  Almost
• 5:39
  there.
• 5:40
  Phew.
• 5:41
  Wipe
• 5:42
  your
• 5:42
  brow.
• 5:43
  The
• 5:43
  desert
• 5:44
  sun
• 5:44
  is
• 5:44
  hot.
• 5:46
  Finally,
• 5:47
  after
• 5:47
  days
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  travel,
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  Alfieri
• 5:49
  family
• 5:50
  reached
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  bustling
• 5:51
  city
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  Fez.
• 5:52
  The
• 5:53
  air
• 5:53
  is
• 5:53
  full
• 5:53
  of
• 5:54
  new
• 5:54
  sounds
• 5:56
  going
• 5:56
  out.
• 5:57
  Donkeys
• 6:02
  you've
• 6:02
  made,
• 6:03
  made
• 6:03
  it
• 6:05
  now.
• 6:05
  Fez,
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  the
• 6:06
  9th
• 6:06
  century,
• 6:06
  was
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  booming
• 6:07
  city.
• 6:08
  It
• 6:08
  was
• 6:09
  full
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  people
• 6:09
  from
• 6:10
  different
• 6:10
  places.
• 6:11
  There
• 6:12
  were
• 6:12
  local
• 6:12
  Moroccans
• 6:14
  and
• 6:14
  also
• 6:14
  many
• 6:15
  families
• 6:15
  who,
• 6:16
  like
• 6:16
  Fatima's,
• 6:16
  had
• 6:17
  migrated
• 6:17
  from
• 6:17
  other
• 6:18
  places.
• 6:19
  Fatima's
• 6:20
  father
• 6:20
  set
• 6:20
  up
• 6:20
  a
• 6:21
  business
• 6:21
  there
• 6:21
  and
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  family
• 6:22
  did
• 6:22
  well.
• 6:23
  For
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  time,
• 6:24
  life
• 6:25
  was
• 6:25
  good
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  comfortable.
• 6:26
  Fatima
• 6:27
  got
• 6:27
  married
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  she
• 6:29
  and
• 6:29
  her
• 6:29
  sister
• 6:29
  continued
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  learn
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  contribute
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  their
• 6:32
  community.
• 6:34
  But
• 6:34
  then
• 6:34
  some
• 6:35
  sad
• 6:35
  times
• 6:35
  came.
• 6:36
  Within
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  short
• 6:37
  period,
• 6:38
  Fatima's
• 6:39
  father
• 6:39
  died.
• 6:40
  Not
• 6:40
  long
• 6:41
  after
• 6:41
  her
• 6:42
  husband
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  even
• 6:43
  her
• 6:43
  brother
• 6:44
  passed
• 6:44
  away.
• 6:45
  It
• 6:45
  was
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  lot
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  loss
• 6:46
  all
• 6:47
  at
• 6:47
  once.
• 6:48
  Fatima
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  her
• 6:49
  sister
• 6:49
  Miriam
• 6:50
  were
• 6:50
  very
• 6:50
  sad,
• 6:51
  as
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  can
• 6:51
  imagine.
• 6:52
  But
• 6:53
  they
• 6:53
  also
• 6:53
  inherited
• 6:54
  their
• 6:54
  father's
• 6:54
  wealth,
• 6:56
  since
• 6:56
  there
• 6:56
  were
• 6:56
  no
• 6:56
  brothers
• 6:57
  left.
• 6:58
  All
• 6:59
  of
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  sudden,
• 6:59
  these
• 6:59
  two
• 7:00
  sisters
• 7:00
  had
• 7:00
  a
• 7:01
  lot
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  money
• 7:01
  and
• 7:02
  land,
• 7:03
  which
• 7:03
  gave
• 7:03
  them
• 7:04
  independence
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  a
• 7:06
  big
• 7:06
  decision
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  make.
• 7:08
  What
• 7:08
  should
• 7:08
  they
• 7:09
  do
• 7:09
  with
• 7:09
  this
• 7:09
  wealth?
• 7:10
  They
• 7:10
  could
• 7:11
  have
• 7:11
  lived
• 7:11
  like
• 7:12
  queens
• 7:12
  or
• 7:13
  moved
• 7:13
  away.
• 7:14
  But
• 7:14
  guess
• 7:15
  what?
• 7:15
  They
• 7:16
  chose
• 7:16
  to
• 7:16
  do
• 7:16
  something
• 7:16
  Truly
• 7:17
  generous
• 7:17
  and
• 7:18
  visionary
• 7:19
  for
• 7:19
  their
• 7:19
  community.
• 7:21
  Fatima
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  Miriam
• 7:22
  looked
• 7:22
  around
• 7:22
  at
• 7:22
  their
• 7:23
  new
• 7:23
  hometown
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  noticed
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  problem.
• 7:25
  The
• 7:25
  local
• 7:26
  mosques
• 7:26
  in
• 7:26
  Fez
• 7:27
  were
• 7:27
  too
• 7:28
  small
• 7:28
  and
• 7:29
  crowded
• 7:29
  for
• 7:29
  all
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  people.
• 7:31
  Especially
• 7:31
  with
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  many
• 7:32
  refugees
• 7:33
  and
• 7:33
  newcomers
• 7:33
  from
• 7:34
  other
• 7:34
  places.
• 7:35
  Fatima
• 7:36
  was
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  devout
• 7:37
  Muslim.
• 7:37
  Her
• 7:38
  faith
• 7:38
  was
• 7:38
  very
• 7:39
  important
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  her.
• 7:40
  She
• 7:41
  knew
• 7:41
  that
• 7:41
  in
• 7:41
  Islam,
• 7:42
  learning
• 7:42
  and
• 7:43
  knowledge
• 7:43
  are
• 7:44
  highly
• 7:44
  valued.
• 7:45
  Fatima
• 7:46
  made
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  big
• 7:47
  promise.
• 7:48
  She
• 7:48
  decided
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  use
• 7:49
  her
• 7:49
  wealth
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  create
• 7:50
  a
• 7:51
  space
• 7:51
  that
• 7:51
  would
• 7:51
  help
• 7:52
  her
• 7:52
  community
• 7:53
  pray,
• 7:54
  learn,
• 7:55
  and
• 7:55
  grow.
• 7:56
  She
• 7:57
  envisioned
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  mosque
• 7:58
  with
• 7:58
  a
• 7:58
  courtyard
• 7:59
  where
• 7:59
  classes
• 8:00
  could
• 8:00
  be
• 8:00
  held,
• 8:01
  where
• 8:02
  teachers
• 8:02
  and
• 8:02
  students
• 8:03
  could
• 8:03
  gather,
• 8:03
  and
• 8:04
  where
• 8:04
  knowledge
• 8:04
  could
• 8:04
  flow
• 8:05
  like
• 8:05
  water.
• 8:06
  People
• 8:06
  would
• 8:07
  come
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  discuss
• 8:07
  the
• 8:08
  Quran,
• 8:08
  law,
• 8:09
  language,
• 8:10
  math,
• 8:11
  medicine,
• 8:11
  astronomy,
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  more.
• 8:14
  She
• 8:14
  wanted
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  place
• 8:14
  that
• 8:14
  honored
• 8:15
  God
• 8:15
  and
• 8:16
  welcomed
• 8:16
  learning.
• 8:18
  She
• 8:18
  wasn't
• 8:18
  an
• 8:19
  architect
• 8:19
  or
• 8:19
  a
• 8:19
  builder,
• 8:20
  but
• 8:20
  she
• 8:21
  was
• 8:21
  determined.
• 8:22
  In
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  year
• 8:23
  859,
• 8:24
  that's
• 8:25
  over
• 8:25
  1,160
• 8:27
  years
• 8:28
  ago,
• 8:29
  Fatima
• 8:30
  started
• 8:30
  her
• 8:30
  project.
• 8:31
  We're
• 8:32
  going
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  play
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  slightly
• 8:33
  different
• 8:33
  game
• 8:33
  today
• 8:33
  called
• 8:34
  Echo
• 8:34
  Explorers.
• 8:35
  While
• 8:36
  we're
• 8:36
  on
• 8:36
  our
• 8:36
  imagination
• 8:37
  journey,
• 8:37
  you'll
• 8:38
  hear
• 8:38
  different
• 8:38
  sounds
• 8:39
  from
• 8:39
  Fatima's
• 8:40
  world.
• 8:40
  When
• 8:40
  I
• 8:41
  pause,
• 8:41
  I
• 8:41
  want
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  to
• 8:42
  guess
• 8:42
  what
• 8:42
  you're
• 8:42
  hearing.
• 8:43
  Close
• 8:44
  your
• 8:44
  eyes
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  picture
• 8:45
  it.
• 8:46
  You
• 8:46
  are
• 8:46
  standing
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  morning
• 8:48
  light.
• 8:49
  The
• 8:50
  air
• 8:50
  smells
• 8:51
  like
• 8:51
  wet
• 8:51
  stone
• 8:52
  and
• 8:52
  fresh
• 8:52
  plaster.
• 9:00
  Pause.
• 9:01
  What
• 9:01
  do
• 9:01
  you
• 9:01
  think
• 9:01
  that
• 9:02
  sound
• 9:02
  is?
• 9:06
  It's
• 9:07
  workers
• 9:07
  making
• 9:07
  bricks
• 9:08
  from
• 9:08
  clay
• 9:09
  and
• 9:09
  straw
• 9:09
  and
• 9:10
  shaping
• 9:10
  stone
• 9:10
  for
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  walls.
• 9:12
  In
• 9:12
  front
• 9:12
  of
• 9:13
  you
• 9:13
  is
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  plot
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  land
• 9:14
  where
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  mosque
• 9:14
  will
• 9:15
  rise.
• 9:20
  Pause.
• 9:21
  Any
• 9:21
  guesses?
• 9:26
  That's
• 9:27
  water
• 9:27
  being
• 9:27
  poured
• 9:27
  into
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  trough
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  mix
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  plaster
• 9:29
  that
• 9:30
  will
• 9:30
  hold
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  bricks
• 9:31
  together.
• 9:31
  Fatima
• 9:32
  stands
• 9:32
  nearby.
• 9:33
  A
• 9:33
  woman
• 9:34
  in
• 9:34
  her
• 9:34
  late
• 9:34
  20s
• 9:35
  is
• 9:35
  greeting
• 9:36
  workers,
• 9:36
  listening
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  plans
• 9:37
  and
• 9:38
  checking
• 9:38
  details.
• 9:39
  Her
• 9:39
  face
• 9:40
  is
• 9:40
  calm
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  kind.
• 9:42
  She
• 9:42
  is
• 9:43
  wearing
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  simple,
• 9:44
  modest
• 9:44
  dress
• 9:44
  and
• 9:45
  a
• 9:45
  scarf,
• 9:46
  walking
• 9:46
  around
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  site
• 9:47
  with
• 9:47
  purpose.
• 9:49
  Some
• 9:49
  people
• 9:49
  are
• 9:50
  surprised
• 9:50
  to
• 9:50
  see
• 9:50
  a
• 9:51
  woman
• 9:51
  leading
• 9:51
  such
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  project.
• 9:53
  But
• 9:53
  she
• 9:53
  has
• 9:53
  a
• 9:53
  reputation
• 9:54
  in
• 9:54
  the
• 9:55
  community
• 9:55
  for
• 9:56
  wisdom
• 9:56
  and
• 9:57
  kindness,
• 9:58
  so
• 9:58
  they
• 9:58
  respect
• 9:59
  her.
• 10:00
  In
• 10:00
  fact,
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  hear
• 10:01
  someone
• 10:02
  call
• 10:02
  to
• 10:02
  her.
• 10:04
  Pause.
• 10:05
  What
• 10:05
  do
• 10:06
  you
• 10:06
  think
• 10:06
  that
• 10:06
  name
• 10:06
  might
• 10:07
  mean?
• 10:11
  It
• 10:11
  means
• 10:12
  mother
• 10:12
  of
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  boys
• 10:13
  or
• 10:13
  children.
• 10:15
  People
• 10:15
  called
• 10:15
  her
• 10:16
  this
• 10:16
  because
• 10:16
  she
• 10:16
  helped
• 10:17
  take
• 10:17
  care
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  students
• 10:18
  as
• 10:18
  if
• 10:18
  they
• 10:18
  were
• 10:18
  her
• 10:19
  own
• 10:19
  kids.
• 10:21
  Next,
• 10:21
  Fatima
• 10:22
  shows
• 10:22
  you
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  drawing
• 10:23
  of
• 10:23
  an
• 10:23
  arch.
• 10:24
  She

  explains
• 10:25
  that
• 10:25
  arches
• 10:25
  share
• 10:26
  weight,
• 10:26
  so
• 10:27
  buildings
• 10:27
  stay
• 10:27
  strong.
• 10:28
  You
• 10:28
  run
• 10:29
  your
• 10:29
  finger
• 10:29
  along
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  curve
• 10:30
  of
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  arch
• 10:31
  on
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  parchment.
• 10:32
  It
• 10:32
  feels
• 10:33
  like
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  smile.
• 10:42
  Pause.
• 10:43
  Do
• 10:43
  you
• 10:43
  know
• 10:43
  what
• 10:44
  this
• 10:44
  sound
• 10:44
  is?
• 10:49
  That's
• 10:49
  the
• 10:50
  adhan,
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  Muslim
• 10:51
  call
• 10:51
  to
• 10:51
  prayer
• 10:52
  echoing
• 10:53
  over
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  streets
• 10:53
  of
• 10:54
  Fez.
• 10:55
  People
• 10:55
  pause
• 10:55
  what
• 10:55
  they're
• 10:56
  doing.
• 10:57
  Some
• 10:57
  head
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  pray.
• 10:58
  Others
• 10:59
  lower
• 10:59
  their
• 10:59
  voices
• 11:00
  out
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  respect.
• 11:02
  When
• 11:02
  prayer
• 11:02
  is
• 11:03
  finished,
• 11:03
  the
• 11:04
  work
• 11:04
  continues.
• 11:05
  You
• 11:05
  imagine
• 11:06
  yourself
• 11:06
  picking
• 11:07
  up
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  Brick.
• 11:08
  It's
• 11:08
  heavy,
• 11:09
  solid,
• 11:10
  warm
• 11:11
  from
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  sun.
• 11:13
  Pause.
• 11:14
  What
• 11:15
  do
• 11:15
  you
• 11:15
  think
• 11:15
  just
• 11:15
  happened?
• 11:20
  That's
• 11:20
  you
• 11:20
  setting
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  brick
• 11:21
  into
• 11:22
  place
• 11:22
  on
• 11:22
  the
• 11:22
  growing
• 11:23
  wall.
• 11:23
  Thank
• 11:24
  you,
• 11:24
  Priya.
• 11:24
  Thank
• 11:25
  you,
• 11:25
  Amar.
• 11:25
  Who
• 11:25
  do
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  think
• 11:26
  is
• 11:26
  saying
• 11:26
  that
• 11:26
  and
• 11:27
  why?
• 11:32
  That's
• 11:32
  Fatima's
• 11:33
  voice.
• 11:33
  As
• 11:33
  she
• 11:33
  thanks
• 11:34
  workers
• 11:34
  by
• 11:34
  name.
• 11:35
  She
• 11:36
  also
• 11:36
  reminds
• 11:36
  them
• 11:37
  to
• 11:37
  take
• 11:37
  care
• 11:37
  of
• 11:37
  their
• 11:37
  bodies,
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  drink
• 11:38
  water,
• 11:39
  and
• 11:39
  to
• 11:39
  rest.
• 11:40
  All
• 11:40
  right,
• 11:40
  echo
• 11:41
  explorers.
• 11:41
  You
• 11:42
  can
• 11:42
  open
• 11:42
  your
• 11:42
  eyes
• 11:42
  now
• 11:43
  and
• 11:43
  shake
• 11:43
  out
• 11:43
  your
• 11:43
  hands.
• 11:46
  We
• 11:46
  just
• 11:46
  traveled
• 11:47
  through
• 11:47
  sight
• 11:48
  and
• 11:48
  especially
• 11:49
  sound
• 11:50
  to
• 11:50
  step
• 11:50
  into
• 11:50
  Fatima's
• 11:51
  world.
• 11:52
  Every
• 11:52
  hammer
• 11:53
  tap,
• 11:54
  every
• 11:54
  splash
• 11:54
  of
• 11:55
  water,
• 11:56
  every
• 11:56
  voice
• 11:56
  calling
• 11:57
  her
• 11:57
  name
• 11:57
  was
• 11:57
  part
• 11:58
  of
• 11:58
  building
• 11:58
  something
• 11:58
  that
• 11:59
  would
• 11:59
  last
• 11:59
  for
• 12:00
  more
• 12:00
  than
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  thousand
• 12:00
  years.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:02
  just
• 12:02
  like
• 12:02
  Fatima
• 12:03
  listened
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  needs
• 12:03
  of
• 12:04
  her
• 12:04
  community.
• 12:05
  You
• 12:05
  listened
• 12:06
  closely
• 12:06
  today
• 12:07
  to
• 12:07
  catch
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  details
• 12:08
  in
• 12:08
  her
• 12:08
  story.
• 12:09
  Remember,
• 12:10
  listening
• 12:11
  is
• 12:11
  a
• 12:11
  kind
• 12:12
  of
• 12:12
  learning.
• 12:13
  When
• 12:13
  we
• 12:13
  pay
• 12:13
  attention,
• 12:14
  we
• 12:15
  notice
• 12:15
  small
• 12:16
  but
• 12:16
  important
• 12:17
  things.
• 12:18
  And
• 12:18
  those
• 12:18
  little
• 12:19
  things
• 12:19
  can
• 12:19
  help
• 12:19
  us
• 12:20
  understand
• 12:20
  the
• 12:20
  big
• 12:20
  picture.
• 12:22
  So
• 12:22
  give
• 12:22
  yourself
• 12:22
  a
• 12:23
  quiet
• 12:23
  well
• 12:23
  done
• 12:24
  clap
• 12:24
  and
• 12:25
  tuck
• 12:25
  today's
• 12:26
  sounds
• 12:26
  into
• 12:26
  your
• 12:26
  belief
• 12:27
  backpack
• 12:28
  right
• 12:28
  next
• 12:28
  to
• 12:29
  your
• 12:29
  curiosity.
• 12:34
  Now
• 12:35
  let's
• 12:35
  see
• 12:35
  what
• 12:35
  happened
• 12:36
  next
• 12:36
  In
• 12:36
  Fatima's
• 12:37
  incredible
• 12:37
  project.
• 12:38
  Fatima
• 12:39
  didn't
• 12:39
  just
• 12:39
  sit
• 12:39
  back
• 12:40
  and
• 12:40
  watch
• 12:40
  others
• 12:40
  work.
• 12:41
  She
• 12:41
  actively
• 12:42
  guided
• 12:42
  the
• 12:43
  construction.
• 12:44
  She
• 12:44
  carefully
• 12:45
  spent
• 12:45
  her
• 12:45
  money
• 12:45
  to
• 12:45
  make
• 12:46
  sure
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  mosque
• 12:46
  would
• 12:47
  be
• 12:47
  big
• 12:47
  enough
• 12:47
  and
• 12:48
  well
• 12:48
  built.
• 12:49
  She
• 12:49
  even
• 12:50
  purchased
• 12:50
  additional
• 12:51
  land
• 12:51
  around
• 12:52
  it
• 12:52
  as
• 12:52
  the
• 12:53
  project
• 12:53
  grew,
• 12:54
  ensuring
• 12:54
  that
• 12:55
  there
• 12:55
  would
• 12:55
  be
• 12:55
  plenty
• 12:56
  of
• 12:56
  space.
• 12:57
  Slowly,
• 12:58
  walls
• 12:58
  rose,
• 12:59
  arches
• 13:00
  were
• 13:00
  built.
• 13:01
  A
• 13:01
  minaret,
• 13:02
  which
• 13:02
  is
• 13:02
  a
• 13:02
  tall
• 13:02
  tower
• 13:03
  for
• 13:03
  the
• 13:03
  call
• 13:03
  to
• 13:04
  prayer,
• 13:04
  was
• 13:04
  constructed
• 13:05
  and
• 13:05
  courtyards
• 13:06
  laid
• 13:06
  out.
• 13:07
  After
• 13:07
  around
• 13:08
  two
• 13:08
  years
• 13:08
  of
• 13:08
  hard
• 13:09
  work,
• 13:09
  the
• 13:10
  mosque
• 13:10
  was
• 13:10
  completed.
• 13:11
  The
• 13:12
  first
• 13:12
  thing
• 13:12
  Fatima
• 13:13
  did
• 13:13
  was
• 13:13
  gather
• 13:13
  with
• 13:14
  everyone
• 13:14
  to
• 13:14
  pray,
• 13:15
  offering
• 13:16
  prayers
• 13:16
  of
• 13:16
  gratitude
• 13:17
  in
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  beautiful
• 13:17
  new
• 13:18
  mosque
• 13:18
  she
• 13:19
  had
• 13:19
  helped
• 13:19
  create.
• 13:21
  Just
• 13:21
  imagine
• 13:21
  the
• 13:22
  celebration
• 13:22
  on
• 13:22
  opening
• 13:23
  day.
• 13:24
  The
• 13:24
  community
• 13:25
  rejoicing.
• 13:26
  Thank
• 13:27
  you,
• 13:27
  Fatima.
• 13:28
  A
• 13:28
  call
• 13:29
  to
• 13:29
  prayer
• 13:29
  echoing
• 13:30
  from
• 13:30
  the
• 13:30
  new
• 13:30
  minaret
• 13:31
  for
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  very
• 13:32
  first
• 13:32
  time.
• 13:33
  It
• 13:34
  was
• 13:34
  a
• 13:34
  huge
• 13:35
  achievement.
• 13:36
  Fatima
• 13:37
  named
• 13:37
  this
• 13:38
  mosque
• 13:38
  Al
• 13:39
  Karouiyin.
• 13:40
  Why
• 13:40
  such
• 13:40
  a
• 13:41
  name?
• 13:41
  Because
• 13:42
  Al
• 13:42
  Quirouiyen
• 13:43
  means
• 13:43
  the
• 13:43
  people
• 13:43
  of
• 13:44
  Karaween.
• 13:45
  It
• 13:45
  honored
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  community
• 13:46
  of
• 13:46
  immigrants
• 13:47
  from
• 13:47
  her
• 13:48
  original
• 13:48
  hometown
• 13:49
  who
• 13:49
  now
• 13:50
  lived
• 13:50
  in
• 13:50
  Fes.
• 13:51
  How
• 13:51
  thoughtful
• 13:52
  is
• 13:52
  that.
• 13:53
  Over
• 13:53
  time,
• 13:54
  Al
• 13:54
  Karawiyin
• 13:56
  became
• 13:56
  more
• 13:56
  than
• 13:56
  just
• 13:57
  a
• 13:57
  mosque.
• 13:58
  It
• 13:58
  was
• 13:58
  both
• 13:58
  a
• 13:58
  place
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  worship
• 14:00
  and
• 14:00
  a
• 14:00
  place
• 14:00
  of
• 14:01
  learning.
• 14:02
  You
• 14:02
  see,
• 14:02
  in
• 14:02
  that
• 14:03
  time,
• 14:03
  major
• 14:03
  mosques
• 14:04
  often
• 14:04
  served
• 14:05
  multiple
• 14:05
  roles.
• 14:06
  People
• 14:06
  didn't
• 14:07
  just
• 14:07
  pray
• 14:07
  there.
• 14:07
  They
• 14:08
  also
• 14:08
  held
• 14:08
  classes,
• 14:09
  discussions
• 14:10
  and
• 14:10
  community
• 14:11
  meetings
• 14:11
  in
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  courtyards.
• 14:13
  And
• 14:13
  Fatima's
• 14:14
  mosque
• 14:14
  was
• 14:14
  no
• 14:14
  exception.
• 14:16
  From
• 14:16
  early
• 14:16
  on,
• 14:17
  scholars
• 14:17
  and
• 14:18
  teachers
• 14:18
  began
• 14:18
  to
• 14:19
  hold
• 14:19
  study
• 14:19
  circles
• 14:20
  there.
• 14:21
  As
• 14:21
  time
• 14:21
  passed,
• 14:22
  Al
• 14:22
  Qarawiyan
• 14:23
  organized
• 14:24
  its
• 14:24
  teaching.
• 14:25
  More
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  more,
• 14:26
  it
• 14:26
  developed
• 14:27
  a
• 14:27
  reputation
• 14:28
  as
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  place
• 14:28
  for
• 14:29
  advanced
• 14:29
  Study.
• 14:30
  People
• 14:30
  came
• 14:31
  to
• 14:31
  study
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  Quran
• 14:32
  and
• 14:32
  Islamic
• 14:33
  law.
• 14:34
  It
• 14:34
  also
• 14:34
  taught
• 14:35
  non
• 14:35
  religious
• 14:35
  things
• 14:36
  like
• 14:36
  poetry,
• 14:37
  logic,
• 14:37
  mathematics,
• 14:38
  medicine,
• 14:39
  astronomy
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  geography.
• 14:42
  Picture
• 14:42
  yourself
• 14:43
  as
• 14:43
  a
• 14:43
  kid
• 14:43
  In
• 14:44
  Fez,
• 14:44
  maybe
• 14:45
  800
• 14:45
  years
• 14:46
  ago,
• 14:47
  walking
• 14:47
  into
• 14:47
  Al
• 14:48
  Kateriya.
• 14:49
  You
• 14:49
  step
• 14:50
  through
• 14:50
  grand
• 14:50
  doors
• 14:51
  into
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  courtyard
• 14:52
  with
• 14:52
  arches
• 14:53
  and
• 14:53
  columns.
• 14:54
  The
• 14:54
  floor
• 14:55
  is
• 14:55
  marble,
• 14:55
  and
• 14:56
  in
• 14:56
  the
• 14:56
  center
• 14:57
  there's
• 14:57
  a
• 14:57
  fountain
• 14:57
  where
• 14:58
  people
• 14:58
  watch
• 14:58
  before
• 14:59
  prayers.
• 15:00
  You
• 15:01
  hear
• 15:01
  the
• 15:01
  murmur
• 15:01
  of
• 15:02
  lessons

  One

  a

• 15:10
  Another

  a

• 15:14
  Over

  there,
• 15:15
  a
• 15:16
  scholar
• 15:16
  is
• 15:16
  reading
• 15:17
  poetry.
• 15:18
  Some
• 15:18
  students
• 15:19
  have
• 15:19
  come
• 15:19
  from
• 15:19
  faraway
• 15:20
  lands
• 15:20
  to

  study.
• 15:21
  You
• 15:21
  see
• 15:21
  scrolls
• 15:22
  and
• 15:22
  books
• 15:22
  stacked
• 15:23
  up
• 15:23
  and
• 15:23
  an

  old

• 15:25
  carefully
• 15:26
  writing

  a

• 15:28
  It
• 15:29
  smells
• 15:29
  a
• 15:29
  bit
• 15:29
  like
• 15:30
  ink
• 15:30
  and
• 15:30
  old

• 15:32
  A

  a

  university,
• 15:34
  a

  library.
• 15:35
  One
• 15:36
  place,
• 15:37
  many
• 15:37
  gifts.
• 15:38
  That
• 15:38
  is
• 15:38
  the
• 15:38
  legacy
• 15:39
  of
• 15:39
  Fatima's
• 15:40
  vision.
• 15:40
  And
• 15:41
  it
• 15:41
  did
• 15:41
  not
• 15:41
  only
• 15:41
  help
• 15:42
  one
• 15:42
  family
• 15:43
  or
• 15:43
  one
• 15:43
  neighborhood,
• 15:44
  it
• 15:44
  helped
• 15:45
  a
• 15:45
  whole
• 15:45
  city
• 15:46
  and
• 15:46
  sent

  ripples

• 15:48
  through
• 15:48
  North
• 15:48
  Africa
• 15:49
  and

  beyond.
• 15:51
  This
• 15:51
  was
• 15:51
  part
• 15:51
  of
• 15:51
  a
• 15:52
  larger

  time,

  sometimes

  called

  the

  Islamic

  Golden

  Age,

  when

  Now,

  what

  happened

  to

  Fatima
• 16:11
  Al

  Fiiri
• 16:11
  after

  she

  Historical

  the

  founding
• 16:16
  are
• 16:16
  a

  bit

  scarce.
• 16:18
  Even

  the

  exact
• 16:19
  date
• 16:19
  of
• 16:19
  her
• 16:20
  death
• 16:20
  isn't
• 16:20
  certain.
• 16:21
  It
• 16:21
  is
• 16:22
  said
• 16:22
  she
• 16:22
  lived
• 16:23
  to
• 16:23
  see
• 16:23
  the
• 16:24
  mosque
• 16:24
  becoming
• 16:25
  a
• 16:25
  renowned
• 16:25
  place
• 16:26
  of
• 16:26
  learning.
• 16:27
  She
• 16:27
  was
• 16:27
  highly
• 16:28
  respected
• 16:29
  in
• 16:29
  her
• 16:29
  community,
• 16:30
  often

  remembered

  for

  her

  charity
• 16:32
  and

  wisdom.
• 16:33
  Her

  nickname,
• 16:35
  Mother
• 16:35
  of
• 16:35
  the

  Children,
• 16:37
  suggests
• 16:37
  she
• 16:38
  mentored
• 16:38
  or
• 16:39
  supported
• 16:39
  many
• 16:39
  young
• 16:40
  learners.
• 16:41
  She
• 16:41
  loved
• 16:42
  knowledge
• 16:42
  and
• 16:42
  believed
• 16:43
  it
• 16:43
  should
• 16:43
  be
• 16:43
  shared
• 16:44
  freely
• 16:44
  with

  everyone.
• 16:46
  And
• 16:46
  that
• 16:46
  belief
• 16:47
  left
• 16:47
  a
• 16:47
  legacy
• 16:48
  that
• 16:48
  has
• 16:48
  lasted
• 16:49
  over
• 16:49
  a

  millennium.
• 16:51
  Al

  Qatariyan
• 16:52
  flourished
• 16:52
  so
• 16:53
  much
• 16:53
  that
• 16:53
  it
• 16:53
  still
• 16:53
  exists
• 16:54
  today
• 16:54
  in
• 16:55
  Fez.
• 16:56
  How
• 16:56
  many
• 16:56
  founders
• 16:57
  can
• 16:57
  say
• 16:57
  their

• 16:58
  lasted
• 16:58
  over
• 16:59
  a

  thousand
• 16:59
  years?
• 17:01
  Even
• 17:01
  though
• 17:01
  technically
• 17:02
  it
• 17:02
  started
• 17:02
  as

  a
• 17:03
  mosque
• 17:03
  and
• 17:03
  informal
• 17:04
  school,
• 17:04
  people

  consider
• 17:05
  it
• 17:05
  the

  oldest

  operating

  university
• 17:09
  in

  the

  world.
• 17:10
  By
• 17:10
  the
• 17:11
  14th
• 17:11
  century,
• 17:12
  it
• 17:12
  had
• 17:12
  about
• 17:12
  8,000
• 17:13
  students
• 17:13
  enrolled.
• 17:14
  That's
• 17:15
  like
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  big
• 17:15
  college
• 17:15
  campus
• 17:16
  today.
• 17:17
  Over
• 17:17
  the
• 17:18
  centuries,
• 17:18
  some
• 17:18
  incredibly
• 17:19
  famous
• 17:19
  people
• 17:20
  studied
• 17:20
  or
• 17:21
  taught
• 17:21
  there.
• 17:22
  One
• 17:22
  famous
• 17:23
  student
• 17:23
  was
• 17:23
  a
• 17:23
  Christian
• 17:24
  monk
• 17:24
  from
• 17:24
  France
• 17:25
  who
• 17:25
  traveled
• 17:26
  all
• 17:26
  the
• 17:26
  way
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  Fez
• 17:27
  to
• 17:27
  learn
• 17:27
  math.
• 17:28
  At
• 17:29
  Al
• 17:29
  Kadarian,
• 17:30
  he
• 17:30
  discovered
• 17:31
  something
• 17:31
  brand
• 17:31
  new
• 17:31
  to
• 17:32
  Arabic
• 17:33
  numerals.
• 17:34
  The
• 17:34
  numbers
• 17:35
  we
• 17:35
  use
• 17:35
  today,
• 17:36
  like
• 17:36
  the
• 17:36
  1,
• 17:36
  2,
• 17:37
  3,

  7,

  8,
• 17:38
  9,
• 17:39
  and
• 17:39
  the
• 17:39
  ideas
• 17:40
  of
• 17:40
  zero.
• 17:41
  Back
• 17:41
  then,
• 17:41
  most
• 17:42
  people
• 17:42
  in
• 17:42
  Europe
• 17:42
  didn't
• 17:43
  even
• 17:43
  use
• 17:43
  zero.
• 17:43
  He
• 17:44
  brought
• 17:44
  that
• 17:44
  knowledge
• 17:45
  home,
• 17:46
  and
• 17:46
  he
• 17:46
  later
• 17:47
  became
• 17:47
  Pope
• 17:48
  Sylvester
• 17:48
  ii,
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  leader
• 17:49
  of
• 17:49
  the
• 17:50
  Catholic
• 17:50
  Church.
• 17:51
  Imagine
• 17:52
  that,
• 17:52
  a
• 17:53
  pope
• 17:53
  who
• 17:54
  Learned
• 17:54
  math
• 17:55
  at
• 17:55
  a
• 17:55
  Muslim

• 17:56
  university.
• 17:57
  That's
• 17:58
  some
• 17:58
  pretty
• 17:58
  amazing
• 17:59
  cross
• 17:59
  cultural

• 18:01
  Another
• 18:01
  famous
• 18:01
  visitor
• 18:02
  was
• 18:02
  Maimonides.
• 18:03
  He

  was

  a

  brilliant
• 18:04
  Jewish
• 18:05
  philosopher
• 18:06
  and
• 18:06
  doctor.
• 18:07
  He
• 18:08
  studied

  alongside

  Muslim
• 18:09
  scholars
• 18:10
  at

  Al

  Qaruyen.
• 18:11
  The

  ideas
• 18:12
  he
• 18:12
  learned
• 18:12
  there
• 18:12
  shaped
• 18:13
  his
• 18:13
  famous
• 18:13
  writings
• 18:14
  and
• 18:15
  he
• 18:15
  went

  on

  to

• 18:19
  Al

  Qatarin

  welcomed

  Muslims,

  Christians

• 18:23
  People

  a

  that

• 18:31
  In
• 18:31
  fact,
• 18:31
  Al
• 18:32
  Kateriyin
• 18:32
  became

  a

  It

  which

  why

  it's

• 18:46
  Pretty
• 18:46
  neat,
• 18:47
  right?
• 18:48
  For
• 18:49
  centuries
• 18:49
  during
• 18:49
  the
• 18:50
  Islamic

  Golden

  Age,
• 18:51
  Al

  Qadairiyyan
• 18:52
  was

  and
• 18:55
  curious

  minds.
• 18:56
  And
• 18:57
  it
• 18:57
  all
• 18:57
  started
• 18:57
  because
• 18:58
  Fatima
• 18:58
  Alfieri
• 18:59
  chose
• 18:59
  to

  everything

  she

• 19:04
  Her

  reminds

  that

  that

  Firi's
• 19:16
  dedication
• 19:17
  to

  education
• 19:17
  wasn't
• 19:18
  unique
• 19:18
  to

  Islam.
• 19:19
  The
• 19:20
  love

  of

  is

  something

  disgusting

• 19:54
  Long
• 19:54
  ago,
• 19:54
  there
• 19:54
  was
• 19:55
  a
• 19:55
  famous
• 19:55
  Buddhist
• 19:56
  university
• 19:56
  called
• 19:57
  Nalanda
• 19:58
  in
• 19:59
  India.
• 20:00
  It
• 20:00
  was
• 20:00
  like
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  giant
• 20:01
  school
• 20:01
  where
• 20:01
  monks
• 20:02
  and
• 20:02
  visitors
• 20:02
  from
• 20:03
  all
• 20:03
  over
• 20:03
  Asia
• 20:04
  came
• 20:04
  to
• 20:04
  study
• 20:05
  Buddhism,
• 20:05
  medicine,
• 20:06
  Math,
• 20:07
  astronomy
• 20:08
  and
• 20:09
  more.
• 20:09
  Nalanda
• 20:10
  lasted
• 20:11
  for
• 20:11
  almost
• 20:11
  a
• 20:12
  thousand
• 20:12
  years.
• 20:13
  In
• 20:13
  Buddhist
• 20:14
  tradition,
• 20:14
  learning
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  truth
• 20:15
  is
• 20:16
  part
• 20:16
  of
• 20:16
  the
• 20:16
  spiritual
• 20:17
  path,
• 20:18
  a
• 20:18
  way
• 20:18
  to
• 20:19
  grow
• 20:19
  in
• 20:19
  wisdom
• 20:20
  and
• 20:20
  compassion.
• 20:22
  Just
• 20:22
  like
• 20:22
  Fatima
• 20:23
  built
• 20:23
  a
• 20:23
  place
• 20:24
  for
• 20:24
  learning,
• 20:24
  Buddhist
• 20:25
  communities
• 20:26
  built
• 20:26
  monasteries
• 20:27
  that
• 20:27
  were
• 20:27
  also
• 20:27
  schools.
• 20:28
  In
• 20:29
  both
• 20:29
  places,
• 20:30
  knowledge
• 20:30
  was
• 20:30
  a
• 20:30
  treasure
• 20:31
  to
• 20:31
  be
• 20:31
  shared.
• 20:34
  Now
• 20:35
  let's
• 20:35
  stroll
• 20:35
  to
• 20:35
  a
• 20:35
  different
• 20:36
  scene.
• 20:37
  Imagine
• 20:37
  a
• 20:37
  bright
• 20:38
  room
• 20:38
  with
• 20:38
  tall
• 20:38
  shelves
• 20:39
  of
• 20:39
  books
• 20:39
  and
• 20:40
  long
• 20:40
  tables.
• 20:41
  Around
• 20:41
  those
• 20:42
  long
• 20:42
  tables,
• 20:43
  students
• 20:43
  wear
• 20:43
  small
• 20:44
  caps
• 20:44
  called
• 20:44
  yarmulkes.
• 20:46
  And
• 20:46
  they're
• 20:46
  leaning
• 20:47
  over
• 20:47
  books,
• 20:47
  talking
• 20:48
  in
• 20:48
  excited
• 20:48
  voices.
• 20:49
  This
• 20:50
  is
• 20:50
  a
• 20:50
  yeshiva,
• 20:51
  a
• 20:51
  Jewish
• 20:52
  school
• 20:52
  for
• 20:53
  studying
• 20:53
  holy
• 20:53
  writings,
• 20:54
  especially
• 20:55
  the
• 20:55
  Torah
• 20:56
  and
• 20:56
  Talmud.
• 20:57
  In
• 20:57
  Judaism,
• 20:58
  learning
• 20:58
  is
• 20:58
  a
• 20:58
  holy
• 20:59
  duty.
• 20:59
  There
• 21:00
  have
• 21:00
  been
• 21:00
  yeshivas
• 21:01
  for
• 21:01
  centuries.
• 21:02
  The
• 21:02
  idea
• 21:02
  is
• 21:03
  similar
• 21:03
  to
• 21:03
  Fatima's
• 21:04
  vision.
• 21:05
  Gather
• 21:05
  people
• 21:06
  who
• 21:06
  want
• 21:06
  to
• 21:06
  learn,
• 21:07
  give
• 21:07
  them
• 21:08
  teachers
• 21:08
  and
• 21:08
  books,
• 21:09
  and
• 21:10
  dedicate
• 21:10
  that
• 21:10
  learning
• 21:11
  to
• 21:11
  God.
• 21:12
  Even
• 21:12
  today,
• 21:12
  yeshivas
• 21:13
  exist
• 21:14
  all
• 21:14
  over
• 21:14
  the
• 21:14
  world.
• 21:18
  Next,
• 21:18
  we're
• 21:19
  in
• 21:19
  Europe
• 21:19
  in
• 21:19
  the
• 21:20
  800-00
• 21:20
  or-900s.
• 21:22
  Imagine
• 21:22
  a
• 21:22
  stone
• 21:23
  cathedral
• 21:24
  reaching
• 21:24
  toward
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  sky.
• 21:26
  Back
• 21:27
  then,
• 21:27
  Europe
• 21:27
  was
• 21:28
  mostly
• 21:28
  Christian,
• 21:29
  and
• 21:29
  many
• 21:29
  schools
• 21:30
  were
• 21:30
  connected
• 21:31
  to
• 21:31
  cathedrals
• 21:31
  or
• 21:32
  monasteries.
• 21:33
  Some
• 21:33
  taught
• 21:34
  local
• 21:34
  children
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  read,
• 21:35
  write,
• 21:36
  sing
• 21:36
  and
• 21:36
  count.
• 21:37
  A
• 21:38
  ruler
• 21:38
  named
• 21:38
  Charlemagne
• 21:39
  even
• 21:39
  made
• 21:40
  a
• 21:40
  rule
• 21:40
  that
• 21:40
  every
• 21:41
  monastery
• 21:41
  and
• 21:42
  cathedral
• 21:42
  should
• 21:43
  have
• 21:43
  a
• 21:43
  school.
• 21:44
  Over
• 21:45
  time,
• 21:45
  these
• 21:45
  cathedral
• 21:46
  schools
• 21:46
  grew
• 21:47
  into
• 21:47
  the
• 21:47
  first
• 21:47
  European
• 21:48
  universities.
• 21:50
  Just
• 21:50
  like
• 21:50
  Fatima's
• 21:51
  mosque
• 21:52
  school
• 21:52
  grew
• 21:53
  into
• 21:53
  a
• 21:53
  university.
• 21:54
  For
• 21:55
  Christians,
• 21:55
  studying
• 21:56
  was
• 21:56
  a
• 21:56
  way
• 21:56
  to
• 21:57
  understand
• 21:57
  the
• 21:58
  Bible
• 21:58
  and
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  world
• 21:59
  God
• 21:59
  created.
• 22:00
  Even
• 22:01
  though
• 22:01
  Fatima
• 22:01
  probably
• 22:02
  never
• 22:02
  met
• 22:02
  a
• 22:03
  European
• 22:03
  monk,
• 22:04
  her
• 22:04
  university
• 22:05
  and
• 22:06
  their
• 22:06
  schools
• 22:07
  were
• 22:07
  like
• 22:07
  faraway
• 22:08
  cousins
• 22:08
  in
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  world
• 22:09
  of
• 22:09
  learning.
• 22:11
  Our
• 22:12
  last
• 22:12
  stop
• 22:12
  isn't
• 22:13
  about
• 22:13
  religion,
• 22:13
  but
• 22:14
  it's
• 22:14
  all
• 22:14
  about
• 22:14
  sharing
• 22:15
  knowledge.
• 22:16
  Think
• 22:16
  of
• 22:16
  your
• 22:17
  local
• 22:17
  library.
• 22:18
  Anyone
• 22:18
  can
• 22:19
  walk
• 22:19
  in,
• 22:20
  young
• 22:20
  or
• 22:21
  old,
• 22:22
  rich
• 22:22
  or
• 22:23
  poor,
• 22:24
  and
• 22:24
  borrow
• 22:24
  books
• 22:25
  for
• 22:25
  free.
• 22:26
  Isn't
• 22:26
  that
• 22:26
  amazing?
• 22:28
  Fatima's
• 22:29
  university
• 22:29
  was
• 22:30
  also
• 22:30
  a
• 22:30
  place
• 22:30
  where
• 22:31
  the
• 22:31
  community
• 22:31
  could
• 22:32
  come
• 22:32
  and
• 22:32
  learn
• 22:32
  without
• 22:33
  paying.
• 22:34
  Libraries
• 22:35
  are
• 22:35
  like
• 22:35
  non
• 22:35
  religious
• 22:36
  temples
• 22:37
  of
• 22:37
  knowledge
• 22:38
  where
• 22:38
  everyone
• 22:38
  is
• 22:39
  welcome.
• 22:40
  Do
• 22:40
  you
• 22:41
  see
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  pattern,
• 22:41
  friends?
• 22:42
  Across
• 22:43
  history,
• 22:43
  in
• 22:44
  Buddhist
• 22:44
  monasteries,
• 22:45
  Jewish
• 22:46
  yeshivas,
• 22:46
  Christian
• 22:47
  cathedral
• 22:48
  schools,
• 22:48
  and
• 22:49
  today
• 22:49
  in
• 22:49
  public
• 22:50
  libraries,
• 22:51
  people
• 22:51
  have
• 22:51
  believed
• 22:52
  that
• 22:52
  learning
• 22:52
  is
• 22:53
  good,
• 22:53
  that
• 22:53
  it
• 22:54
  helps
• 22:54
  us
• 22:54
  grow,
• 22:55
  and
• 22:55
  that
• 22:55
  it's
• 22:56
  something
• 22:56
  worth
• 22:56
  sharing.
• 22:58
  Each
• 22:58
  tradition
• 22:58
  might
• 22:59
  have
• 22:59
  had
• 22:59
  different
• 22:59
  reasons
• 23:00
  or
• 23:00
  methods,
• 23:01
  but
• 23:01
  they
• 23:02
  all
• 23:02
  built
• 23:02
  places
• 23:03
  for
• 23:03
  learning,
• 23:04
  just
• 23:04
  like
• 23:04
  Fatima
• 23:05
  did.
• 23:06
  This
• 23:06
  is
• 23:07
  something
• 23:07
  that
• 23:07
  connects
• 23:08
  us
• 23:08
  as
• 23:08
  human
• 23:08
  beings.
• 23:10
  We
• 23:10
  all
• 23:10
  have
• 23:10
  curiosity.
• 23:12
  We
• 23:12
  all
• 23:12
  ask
• 23:13
  questions
• 23:14
  about
• 23:14
  our
• 23:14
  world.
• 23:15
  And
• 23:16
  many
• 23:16
  people
• 23:16
  of
• 23:17
  many
• 23:17
  faiths
• 23:18
  believe
• 23:18
  that
• 23:18
  learning
• 23:19
  brings
• 23:20
  us
• 23:20
  closer
• 23:21
  to
• 23:21
  truth,
• 23:22
  to
• 23:22
  God,
• 23:23
  or
• 23:23
  to
• 23:23
  understanding
• 23:24
  each
• 23:24
  other.
• 23:25
  That
• 23:25
  might
• 23:25
  even
• 23:26
  be
• 23:26
  why
• 23:26
  you're
• 23:26
  listening
• 23:27
  to
• 23:27
  me
• 23:27
  right
• 23:27
  now.
• 23:32
  Time
• 23:32
  to
• 23:32
  move
• 23:33
  again.
• 23:33
  Stand
• 23:34
  tall
• 23:34
  like
• 23:34
  a
• 23:35
  book
• 23:35
  tower.
• 23:36
  Place
• 23:36
  your
• 23:36
  hands
• 23:36
  on
• 23:37
  your
• 23:37
  head
• 23:37
  like
• 23:37
  you're
• 23:37
  balancing
• 23:38
  a
• 23:38
  book.
• 23:39
  Take
• 23:39
  five
• 23:40
  slow
• 23:41
  steps
• 23:42
  forward.
• 23:43
  1,
• 23:44
  2,
• 23:45
  3,
• 23:46
  4,
• 23:46
  5.
• 23:48
  Turn
• 23:48
  gently
• 23:49
  and
• 23:49
  take
• 23:49
  five
• 23:50
  slow
• 23:50
  steps
• 23:51
  back.
• 23:52
  1,
• 23:52
  2,
• 23:53
  3,
• 23:54
  four,
• 23:55
  five.
• 23:56
  Stretch
• 23:57
  your
• 23:57
  arms
• 23:57
  wide
• 23:57
  like
• 23:58
  the
• 23:58
  open
• 23:58
  doors
• 23:58
  of
• 23:59
  a
• 23:59
  library.
• 24:00
  Cross
• 24:00
  your
• 24:00
  arms
• 24:00
  in
• 24:01
  front
• 24:01
  of
• 24:01
  you
• 24:01
  like
• 24:01
  you're
• 24:01
  giving
• 24:02
  yourself
• 24:02
  a
• 24:02
  big
• 24:02
  hug
• 24:03
  for
• 24:03
  being
• 24:03
  a
• 24:04
  learner.
• 24:04
  And
• 24:04
  shake
• 24:04
  it
• 24:05
  out.
• 24:09
  Now
• 24:09
  that
• 24:09
  we've
• 24:10
  stretched,
• 24:10
  it's
• 24:10
  time
• 24:11
  for
• 24:11
  our
• 24:11
  weekly
• 24:11
  challenge.
• 24:13
  What
• 24:13
  will
• 24:13
  it
• 24:13
  be?
• 24:14
  Here's
• 24:15
  a
• 24:15
  hint.
• 24:15
  It's
• 24:16
  going
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  inspire
• 24:17
  you
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  be
• 24:17
  a
• 24:18
  little
• 24:18
  more
• 24:18
  like
• 24:18
  Fatima.
• 24:19
  But
• 24:20
  don't
• 24:20
  worry,
• 24:21
  I'm
• 24:21
  not
• 24:21
  asking
• 24:21
  you
• 24:21
  to
• 24:22
  build
• 24:22
  a
• 24:22
  whole
• 24:22
  university
• 24:23
  in
• 24:23
  your
• 24:23
  backyard.
• 24:24
  It's
• 24:25
  called
• 24:25
  Fatima's
• 24:26
  Learn
• 24:26
  and
• 24:26
  Teach
• 24:27
  Challenge.
• 24:28
  Sounds
• 24:28
  pretty
• 24:28
  simple,
• 24:29
  right?
• 24:29
  Let's
• 24:30
  break
• 24:30
  it
• 24:30
  down.
• 24:31
  First,
• 24:32
  learn
• 24:32
  something
• 24:32
  new.
• 24:33
  It
• 24:33
  can
• 24:34
  be
• 24:34
  anything
• 24:35
  that
• 24:35
  interests
• 24:35
  you.
• 24:36
  For
• 24:37
  example,
• 24:37
  you
• 24:37
  could
• 24:37
  read
• 24:38
  a
• 24:38
  fun
• 24:38
  factbook
• 24:39
  and
• 24:39
  learn
• 24:39
  five
• 24:39
  new
• 24:40
  cool
• 24:40
  facts
• 24:40
  about
• 24:40
  students.
• 24:41
  Space.
• 24:42
  Or
• 24:42
  ask
• 24:42
  a
• 24:42
  parent
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  show
• 24:43
  you
• 24:43
  how
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  bake
• 24:44
  cookies.
• 24:45
  You
• 24:45
  might
• 24:46
  learn
• 24:46
  a
• 24:46
  greeting
• 24:47
  in
• 24:47
  a
• 24:47
  new
• 24:47
  language.
• 24:48
  Or
• 24:48
  discover
• 24:49
  something
• 24:49
  About
• 24:49
  a
• 24:50
  culture
• 24:50
  or
• 24:50
  religion
• 24:51
  different
• 24:51
  from
• 24:51
  yours.
• 24:52
  Maybe
• 24:53
  you'll
• 24:53
  watch
• 24:53
  a
• 24:53
  nature
• 24:54
  documentary
• 24:54
  and
• 24:55
  learn
• 24:55
  how
• 24:55
  butterflies
• 24:56
  migrate.
• 24:57
  Next
• 24:58
  step,
• 24:58
  teach
• 24:59
  it
• 24:59
  to
• 24:59
  someone
• 24:59
  else.
• 25:00
  When
• 25:00
  you've
• 25:01
  got
• 25:01
  your
• 25:01
  new
• 25:01
  nugget
• 25:02
  of
• 25:02
  knowledge,
• 25:02
  share
• 25:02
  it.
• 25:03
  Tell
• 25:03
  your
• 25:03
  grandma
• 25:04
  that
• 25:04
  cool
• 25:04
  space
• 25:04
  fact
• 25:05
  you
• 25:05
  discovered.
• 25:06
  Maybe
• 25:07
  draw
• 25:07
  a
• 25:07
  picture
• 25:07
  of
• 25:07
  what
• 25:07
  you
• 25:08
  learned
• 25:08
  and
• 25:08
  explain
• 25:09
  it
• 25:09
  to
• 25:09
  your
• 25:09
  friend.
• 25:10
  If
• 25:11
  you
• 25:11
  learned
• 25:12
  to
• 25:12
  say
• 25:12
  hello
• 25:13
  in
• 25:13
  Arabic,
• 25:14
  go
• 25:14
  say
• 25:15
  it
• 25:15
  to
• 25:15
  your
• 25:15
  family
• 25:15
  and
• 25:16
  then
• 25:16
  teach
• 25:16
  them
• 25:16
  how
• 25:17
  to
• 25:17
  say
• 25:17
  it.
• 25:18
  The
• 25:18
  idea
• 25:19
  is
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  be
• 25:19
  like
• 25:20
  Fatima.
• 25:21
  She
• 25:21
  valued
• 25:21
  knowledge
• 25:22
  and
• 25:22
  wanted
• 25:23
  to
• 25:23
  spread
• 25:23
  it
• 25:23
  around.
• 25:24
  You
• 25:24
  can
• 25:25
  do
• 25:25
  that
• 25:25
  on
• 25:25
  a
• 25:25
  small
• 25:26
  scale.
• 25:27
  When
• 25:27
  you
• 25:27
  teach
• 25:28
  someone
• 25:28
  what
• 25:28
  you've
• 25:29
  learned,
• 25:29
  two
• 25:30
  things
• 25:30
  happen.
• 25:31
  You
• 25:32
  remember
• 25:32
  it
• 25:33
  better
• 25:34
  and
• 25:34
  you're
• 25:34
  spreading
• 25:34
  knowledge.
• 25:36
  For
• 25:36
  an
• 25:36
  extra
• 25:37
  challenge,
• 25:37
  try
• 25:38
  setting
• 25:38
  up
• 25:38
  a
• 25:38
  mini
• 25:39
  knowledge
• 25:39
  sharing
• 25:40
  day
• 25:40
  at
• 25:40
  home.
• 25:41
  Each
• 25:42
  family
• 25:42
  member
• 25:42
  learns
• 25:43
  one
• 25:43
  new
• 25:44
  thing
• 25:44
  and
• 25:44
  then
• 25:44
  you
• 25:44
  can
• 25:45
  all
• 25:45
  take
• 25:45
  turns
• 25:45
  sharing
• 25:46
  at
• 25:46
  dinner
• 25:46
  or
• 25:47
  over
• 25:47
  a
• 25:47
  video
• 25:48
  call
• 25:48
  with
• 25:48
  relatives.
• 25:49
  It
• 25:50
  could
• 25:50
  be
• 25:50
  really
• 25:50
  fun.
• 25:51
  Like
• 25:51
  a
• 25:51
  tiny
• 25:52
  family
• 25:52
  university
• 25:53
  night
• 25:53
  where
• 25:53
  everyone's
• 25:54
  a
• 25:54
  professor
• 25:55
  of
• 25:55
  their
• 25:55
  own
• 25:55
  little
• 25:55
  subject.
• 25:57
  I
• 25:57
  can't
• 25:57
  wait
• 25:58
  to
• 25:58
  hear
• 25:58
  what
• 25:58
  you
• 25:58
  all
• 25:58
  choose
• 25:59
  to
• 25:59
  learn.
• 26:00
  Remember,
• 26:00
  it
• 26:01
  doesn't
• 26:01
  have
• 26:01
  to
• 26:01
  be
• 26:01
  huge.
• 26:02
  Fatima's
• 26:03
  journey
• 26:03
  began
• 26:03
  with
• 26:04
  small
• 26:04
  steps
• 26:05
  too.
• 26:06
  She
• 26:06
  learned
• 26:06
  from
• 26:07
  her
• 26:07
  father
• 26:07
  and
• 26:07
  teachers
• 26:08
  when
• 26:08
  she
• 26:08
  was
• 26:08
  young,
• 26:09
  which
• 26:10
  prepared
• 26:10
  her
• 26:11
  for
• 26:11
  big
• 26:11
  things
• 26:12
  later.
• 26:13
  And
• 26:13
  if
• 26:13
  you
• 26:13
  want,
• 26:14
  you
• 26:14
  can
• 26:14
  have
• 26:14
  your
• 26:14
  grown
• 26:14
  ups
• 26:15
  help
• 26:15
  you
• 26:15
  send
• 26:15
  us
• 26:16
  a
• 26:16
  note
• 26:16
  about
• 26:16
  what
• 26:16
  you
• 26:16
  learned
• 26:17
  and
• 26:17
  taught.
• 26:18
  I
• 26:18
  love
• 26:19
  hearing
• 26:19
  from
• 26:19
  you.
• 26:24
  Now
• 26:24
  let's
• 26:24
  pack
• 26:24
  up
• 26:24
  some
• 26:25
  souvenirs
• 26:25
  from
• 26:26
  today's
• 26:26
  story
• 26:26
  in
• 26:27
  our
• 26:27
  Belief
• 26:27
  Backpack.
• 26:29
  Every
• 26:29
  episode,
• 26:29
  we
• 26:30
  gather
• 26:30
  a
• 26:30
  few
• 26:30
  takeaways
• 26:31
  or
• 26:31
  life
• 26:32
  lessons
• 26:32
  from
• 26:32
  our
• 26:33
  story
• 26:33
  and
• 26:34
  imagine
• 26:34
  putting
• 26:34
  them
• 26:35
  into
• 26:35
  our
• 26:35
  Belief
• 26:36
  Backpack,
• 26:37
  a
• 26:37
  magical
• 26:37
  backpack
• 26:38
  that's
• 26:38
  not
• 26:38
  for
• 26:39
  school
• 26:39
  books,
• 26:40
  but
• 26:40
  for
• 26:40
  wisdom
• 26:41
  and
• 26:41
  values
• 26:42
  to
• 26:42
  carry
• 26:42
  with
• 26:43
  us
• 26:43
  wherever
• 26:43
  we
• 26:44
  go.
• 26:45
  Let's
• 26:45
  open
• 26:45
  up
• 26:45
  our
• 26:46
  Belief
• 26:46
  Backpack
• 26:47
  and
• 26:47
  see
• 26:47
  what
• 26:47
  three
• 26:47
  precious
• 26:48
  lessons
• 26:49
  Fatima
• 26:49
  Alfieri
• 26:50
  has
• 26:50
  for
• 26:50
  us
• 26:50
  today.
• 26:55
  Fatima's
• 26:55
  life
• 26:56
  shouts
• 26:56
  this
• 26:56
  lesson
• 26:57
  loud
• 26:57
  and
• 26:57
  clear.
• 26:58
  Learning
• 26:59
  matters.
• 27:01
  She
• 27:01
  built
• 27:01
  a
• 27:02
  whole
• 27:02
  university
• 27:03
  because
• 27:03
  she
• 27:04
  believed.
• 27:04
  Knowledge
• 27:05
  brings
• 27:05
  us
• 27:05
  closer
• 27:06
  to
• 27:06
  our
• 27:06
  faith,
• 27:07
  helps
• 27:08
  our
• 27:08
  community,
• 27:09
  and
• 27:09
  lights
• 27:09
  up
• 27:10
  our
• 27:10
  minds.
• 27:11
  Remember,
• 27:12
  learning
• 27:12
  isn't
• 27:12
  just
• 27:12
  something
• 27:13
  you
• 27:13
  do
• 27:13
  at
• 27:13
  school
• 27:14
  to
• 27:14
  get
• 27:14
  grades.
• 27:15
  It
• 27:15
  can
• 27:15
  be
• 27:15
  a
• 27:15
  joy,
• 27:16
  an
• 27:16
  adventure,
• 27:17
  a
• 27:17
  way
• 27:17
  to
• 27:18
  grow
• 27:18
  as
• 27:18
  a
• 27:18
  person.
• 27:20
  Fatima's
• 27:20
  example
• 27:21
  reminds
• 27:21
  us
• 27:21
  to
• 27:21
  be
• 27:22
  curious,
• 27:23
  read
• 27:23
  more,
• 27:24
  ask
• 27:24
  questions,
• 27:25
  and
• 27:26
  never
• 27:26
  take
• 27:27
  education
• 27:27
  for
• 27:27
  granted.
• 27:29
  In
• 27:29
  many
• 27:29
  parts
• 27:30
  of
• 27:30
  the
• 27:30
  world,
• 27:30
  even
• 27:31
  today,
• 27:31
  some
• 27:32
  kids,
• 27:32
  especially
• 27:33
  girls,
• 27:34
  struggle
• 27:34
  to
• 27:34
  get
• 27:35
  education.
• 27:36
  Fatima's
• 27:37
  story
• 27:37
  encourages
• 27:37
  us
• 27:38
  to
• 27:38
  appreciate
• 27:39
  and
• 27:39
  advocate
• 27:40
  for
• 27:40
  education.
• 27:41
  So
• 27:42
  lesson
• 27:42
  number
• 27:42
  one
• 27:43
  is
• 27:43
  cherish
• 27:44
  knowledge
• 27:45
  and
• 27:45
  always
• 27:46
  keep
• 27:46
  learning.
• 27:48
  Fatima
• 27:48
  inherited
• 27:49
  a
• 27:49
  fortune,
• 27:49
  but
• 27:50
  instead
• 27:50
  of
• 27:50
  keeping
• 27:50
  it
• 27:51
  all
• 27:51
  for
• 27:51
  herself,
• 27:52
  she
• 27:52
  chose
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  give
• 27:53
  it
• 27:53
  away
• 27:53
  to
• 27:53
  help
• 27:54
  others.
• 27:55
  You
• 27:55
  might
• 27:55
  not
• 27:56
  be
• 27:56
  as
• 27:56
  rich
• 27:56
  as
• 27:56
  Fatima.
• 27:57
  I
• 27:57
  know
• 27:57
  I'm
• 27:58
  Not.
• 27:58
  But
• 27:59
  we
• 27:59
  all
• 27:59
  have
• 27:59
  something
• 27:59
  we
• 28:00
  can
• 28:00
  give.
• 28:01
  It
• 28:01
  can
• 28:01
  be
• 28:01
  our
• 28:01
  time,
• 28:02
  our
• 28:03
  skills,
• 28:03
  or
• 28:03
  just
• 28:03
  our
• 28:04
  kindness.
• 28:05
  Maybe
• 28:05
  you're
• 28:06
  great
• 28:06
  at
• 28:06
  math
• 28:06
  and
• 28:07
  can
• 28:07
  help
• 28:07
  a
• 28:07
  friend
• 28:07
  who's
• 28:08
  struggling
• 28:08
  with
• 28:08
  homework.
• 28:09
  Or
• 28:10
  you
• 28:10
  can
• 28:10
  donate
• 28:11
  an
• 28:11
  old
• 28:11
  book
• 28:11
  to
• 28:12
  the

  library
• 28:12
  so
• 28:12
  that
• 28:13
  others
• 28:13
  can
• 28:13
  read
• 28:13
  it.
• 28:14
  Fatima's
• 28:15
  generosity
• 28:16
  wasn't
• 28:16
  only
• 28:16
  in
• 28:17
  money.
• 28:17
  It
• 28:17
  was
• 28:18
  in
• 28:18
  spirit.
• 28:19
  She
• 28:19
  genuinely
• 28:20
  cared
• 28:21
  about
• 28:21
  others.
• 28:22
  Lesson
• 28:23
  two
• 28:23
  is
• 28:23
  be
• 28:24
  generous
• 28:24
  and
• 28:24
  use
• 28:25
  your
• 28:25
  talent
• 28:25
  and
• 28:26
  resources
• 28:26
  to
• 28:27
  help
• 28:27
  your
• 28:27
  community.
• 28:29
  Even
• 28:29
  small
• 28:29
  acts
• 28:30
  of
• 28:30
  service
• 28:30
  can
• 28:30
  build
• 28:31
  into
• 28:31
  something
• 28:31
  that
• 28:31
  lasts.
• 28:33
  Fatima
• 28:34
  was
• 28:34
  guided
• 28:34
  by
• 28:35
  her
• 28:35
  faith
• 28:35
  every
• 28:36
  step
• 28:36
  of
• 28:36
  the
• 28:36
  way.
• 28:37
  She
• 28:37
  prayed,
• 28:38
  fasted,
• 28:39
  and
• 28:39
  stayed
• 28:40
  humble.
• 28:41
  But
• 28:41
  she
• 28:41
  was
• 28:41
  also
• 28:42
  a
• 28:42
  doer.
• 28:43
  She
• 28:43
  didn't
• 28:44
  wait
• 28:44
  for
• 28:44
  someone
• 28:44
  else
• 28:45
  to
• 28:45
  solve
• 28:45
  the
• 28:45
  problem.
• 28:46
  She
• 28:47
  rolled
• 28:47
  up
• 28:47
  her
• 28:47
  sleeves
• 28:48
  and
• 28:48
  led.
• 28:49
  Building
• 28:49
  that
• 28:49
  mosque
• 28:50
  that
• 28:50
  turned
• 28:51
  into
• 28:51
  a
• 28:51
  university
• 28:52
  took
• 28:52
  perseverance,
• 28:54
  a
• 28:54
  lot
• 28:55
  of
• 28:55
  patience
• 28:56
  and
• 28:56
  hard
• 28:56
  work.
• 28:58
  Lesson
• 28:58
  number
• 28:58
  three
• 28:59
  is
• 28:59
  with
• 28:59
  faith
• 29:00
  and
• 29:00
  determination,
• 29:01
  anyone
• 29:03
  can
• 29:03
  make
• 29:03
  a
• 29:03
  difference.
• 29:04
  And
• 29:04
  that
• 29:04
  includes
• 29:05
  you.
• 29:06
  Fatima
• 29:06
  was
• 29:07
  a
• 29:07
  woman
• 29:07
  in
• 29:07
  a
• 29:07
  time
• 29:08
  where
• 29:08
  men
• 29:09
  usually
• 29:09
  led
• 29:09
  big
• 29:10
  projects.
• 29:11
  But
• 29:11
  she
• 29:11
  proved
• 29:12
  that
• 29:12
  with
• 29:12
  determination,
• 29:14
  she
• 29:14
  could
• 29:14
  do
• 29:15
  something
• 29:15
  amazing.
• 29:17
  If
• 29:17
  you
• 29:17
  believe
• 29:17
  in
• 29:18
  a

  cause
• 29:18
  or

  have
• 29:19
  a
• 29:19
  dream
• 29:19
  to

  help
• 29:20
  others,
• 29:21
  don't
• 29:21
  be
• 29:21
  afraid
• 29:22
  to
• 29:22
  step
• 29:22
  up
• 29:22
  and
• 29:23
  lead.
• 29:24
  Persevere
• 29:24
  when
• 29:24
  things
• 29:25
  get
• 29:25
  tough,
• 29:26
  just
• 29:26
  like
• 29:26
  Fatima
• 29:27
  did.
• 29:28
  All
• 29:28
  right,
• 29:29
  Fantastic.

  Zip

  backpack

  now.

  We

  have
• 29:33
  a

  and

  perseverance.
• 29:38
  These
• 29:39
  lessons
• 29:39
  from
• 29:39
  Fatima

  Alfiri

  us
• 29:42
  in

  our
• 29:42
  daily
• 29:42
  lives.
• 29:47
  Now
• 29:48
  we've
• 29:48
  learned
• 29:48
  a
• 29:49
  lot
• 29:49
  about
• 29:49
  Fatima
• 29:50
  and

  faith.
• 29:52
  How

  we
• 29:52
  hear
• 29:53
  a
• 29:53
  story
• 29:53
  from
• 29:54
  the
• 29:54
  Islamic
• 29:55
  tradition
• 29:55
  that
• 29:55
  reflects
• 29:56
  the
• 29:56
  importance
• 29:57
  of
• 29:57
  knowledge?

  It's

  now
• 30:33
  for
• 30:33
  today's
• 30:34
  story
• 30:34
  time.
• 30:34
  I've
• 30:34
  chosen
• 30:35
  a
• 30:35
  story
• 30:35
  that
• 30:35
  was
• 30:35
  special
• 30:36
  to
• 30:36
  Fatima
• 30:37
  and
• 30:37
  is
• 30:37
  very
• 30:37
  special
• 30:38
  in
• 30:38
  Islamic
• 30:38
  history.
• 30:39
  It's
• 30:40
  about
• 30:40
  the
• 30:40
  very
• 30:40
  first
• 30:41
  word
• 30:41
  Muslims
• 30:42
  believe
• 30:42
  God
• 30:42
  revealed
• 30:43
  to
• 30:43
  the
• 30:43
  Prophet
• 30:43
  Muhammad.
• 30:44
  And
• 30:44
  that
• 30:45
  word
• 30:45
  was
• 30:45
  ikra.
• 30:46
  Ikra
• 30:47
  in
• 30:47
  Arabic
• 30:47
  means
• 30:48
  read
• 30:48
  or
• 30:48
  recite.
• 30:50
  This
• 30:50
  story
• 30:50
  is
• 30:50
  often
• 30:51
  told
• 30:51
  to
• 30:51
  Muslim
• 30:52
  children
• 30:52
  to
• 30:52
  show
• 30:52
  just
• 30:53
  how
• 30:53
  much
• 30:53
  Islam
• 30:54
  values
• 30:54
  learning
• 30:55
  and
• 30:55
  reading,
• 30:55
  just
• 30:56
  like
• 30:56
  Fatima's
• 30:57
  story
• 30:57
  does.
• 30:58
  Lets
• 30:58
  travel
• 30:58
  back
• 30:59
  about
• 30:59
  1,400
• 31:00
  years
• 31:01
  ago
• 31:01
  to
• 31:01
  a
• 31:01
  quiet,
• 31:02
  dark
• 31:02
  cave
• 31:03
  on
• 31:03
  a
• 31:03
  mountain
• 31:03
  outside
• 31:04
  the
• 31:04
  city
• 31:04
  of
• 31:05
  Mecca.
• 31:07
  A
• 31:08
  long
• 31:08
  time
• 31:08
  ago,
• 31:09
  before
• 31:09
  he
• 31:09
  became
• 31:09
  a
• 31:10
  prophet,
• 31:10
  Muhammad
• 31:11
  was
• 31:11
  known
• 31:11
  for
• 31:11
  being
• 31:12
  thoughtful
• 31:12
  and
• 31:12
  honest.
• 31:13
  He
• 31:14
  cared
• 31:14
  about
• 31:14
  people.
• 31:15
  But
• 31:15
  he
• 31:15
  also
• 31:16
  felt
• 31:16
  sad
• 31:16
  about
• 31:16
  the
• 31:17
  unfairness
• 31:17
  and
• 31:18
  problems
• 31:18
  he
• 31:19
  saw
• 31:19
  in
• 31:19
  his
• 31:19
  society.
• 31:21
  Sometimes
• 31:21
  he
• 31:21
  needed
• 31:22
  time
• 31:22
  alone.
• 31:23
  To
• 31:24
  think
• 31:24
  and
• 31:24
  pray.
• 31:25
  He
• 31:26
  was
• 31:26
  about
• 31:26
  40
• 31:26
  years
• 31:27
  old
• 31:27
  when
• 31:27
  he
• 31:27
  began
• 31:27
  climbing
• 31:28
  up
• 31:28
  to
• 31:29
  a
• 31:29
  cave
• 31:29
  on
• 31:29
  Mount
• 31:30
  Hira
• 31:30
  to
• 31:31
  spend
• 31:31
  days
• 31:31
  in
• 31:32
  quiet
• 31:32
  reflection.
• 31:33
  Imagine
• 31:34
  him
• 31:34
  there
• 31:34
  one
• 31:35
  night,
• 31:35
  sitting
• 31:35
  on
• 31:36
  the
• 31:36
  cool
• 31:36
  stone
• 31:37
  floor,
• 31:37
  maybe
• 31:38
  with
• 31:38
  a
• 31:38
  tiny
• 31:39
  oil
• 31:39
  lamp
• 31:40
  flickering.
• 31:41
  Suddenly,
• 31:42
  the
• 31:42
  stillness
• 31:42
  is
• 31:43
  broken.
• 31:44
  Out
• 31:44
  of
• 31:44
  the
• 31:44
  darkness,
• 31:45
  an
• 31:45
  angel
• 31:46
  appeared.
• 31:46
  The
• 31:47
  angel
• 31:47
  Jabril,
• 31:48
  or
• 31:48
  Gabriel.
• 31:50
  The
• 31:50
  cave
• 31:50
  is
• 31:50
  suddenly
• 31:51
  filled
• 31:51
  with
• 31:51
  a
• 31:52
  bright,
• 31:52
  powerful
• 31:53
  light.
• 31:54
  Muhammad
• 31:54
  is
• 31:54
  startled,
• 31:55
  maybe
• 31:56
  even
• 31:56
  scared.
• 31:57
  And
• 31:58
  who
• 31:58
  wouldn't
• 31:58
  be?
• 32:00
  The
• 32:00
  angel
• 32:00
  speaks
• 32:01
  one
• 32:01
  word
• 32:01
  in
• 32:01
  Arabic.
• 32:03
  Muhammad
• 32:04
  is
• 32:04
  confused.
• 32:06
  Read.
• 32:07
  But
• 32:07
  he
• 32:07
  never
• 32:08
  learned
• 32:08
  to
• 32:08
  read
• 32:09
  or
• 32:09
  write.
• 32:09
  Like
• 32:10
  many
• 32:10
  people
• 32:10
  of
• 32:10
  his
• 32:10
  time,
• 32:11
  he
• 32:11
  hadn't
• 32:11
  gone
• 32:12
  to
• 32:12
  school.
• 32:13
  I
• 32:13
  cannot
• 32:14
  read,
• 32:15
  he
• 32:15
  says.
• 32:16
  The
• 32:16
  angel
• 32:17
  embraces
• 32:17
  him
• 32:17
  tightly
• 32:18
  and
• 32:18
  repeats
• 32:18
  the
• 32:18
  command.
• 32:20
  Heart
• 32:21
  pounding,
• 32:21
  mind
• 32:22
  racing.
• 32:23
  Again,
• 32:23
  Muhammad
• 32:24
  says,
• 32:24
  I
• 32:25
  cannot
• 32:25
  read.
• 32:26
  The
• 32:26
  angel
• 32:27
  embraces
• 32:27
  him
• 32:27
  a
• 32:28
  third
• 32:28
  time
• 32:28
  and
• 32:28
  says,
• 32:30
  this
• 32:31
  time
• 32:31
  Muhammad
• 32:31
  asks,
• 32:32
  what
• 32:33
  shall
• 32:33
  I
• 32:33
  read?
• 32:33
  And
• 32:34
  then
• 32:34
  the
• 32:34
  angel
• 32:35
  recites
• 32:35
  the
• 32:35
  very
• 32:35
  first
• 32:36
  verses
• 32:36
  of
• 32:36
  what
• 32:37
  would
• 32:37
  become
• 32:37
  the
• 32:37
  Quran,
• 32:38
  the
• 32:38
  holy
• 32:38
  book
• 32:39
  of
• 32:39
  Islam.
• 32:40
  Read.
• 32:40
  In
• 32:40
  the
• 32:41
  name
• 32:41
  of
• 32:41
  your
• 32:41
  Lord
• 32:41
  who
• 32:42
  created
• 32:43
  created
• 32:43
  man
• 32:43
  from
• 32:44
  a
• 32:44
  clinging
• 32:44
  clot
• 32:45
  or
• 32:45
  a

  tiny
• 32:45
  life
• 32:46
  form.
• 32:46
  Read.
• 32:47
  And
• 32:47
  your
• 32:47
  Lord
• 32:47
  is
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  most
• 32:48
  generous
• 32:49
  who
• 32:49
  taught
• 32:49
  by
• 32:50
  the
• 32:50
  pen,
• 32:50
  taught
• 32:51
  man
• 32:51
  what
• 32:51
  he
• 32:51
  never
• 32:52
  knew.
• 32:52
  These
• 32:52
  words
• 32:53
  teach
• 32:53
  that
• 32:53
  God
• 32:54
  is
• 32:54
  the
• 32:54
  creator
• 32:55
  and
• 32:55
  that
• 32:55
  God
• 32:55
  is
• 32:55
  the
• 32:56
  one
• 32:56
  who
• 32:56
  gives
• 32:56
  people
• 32:57
  knowledge.
• 32:57
  Muhammad
• 32:58
  listens
• 32:58
  carefully,
• 32:59
  even
• 32:59
  though
• 33:00
  he's
• 33:00
  trembling
• 33:00
  with
• 33:01
  fear
• 33:01
  and
• 33:01
  amazement.
• 33:02
  He
• 33:03
  repeats
• 33:03
  the
• 33:03
  words
• 33:04
  back
• 33:04
  to
• 33:04
  the
• 33:04
  angel
• 33:06
  he
• 33:06
  has
• 33:06
  just
• 33:06
  read,
• 33:07
  not
• 33:07
  with
• 33:07
  his
• 33:08
  eyes,
• 33:08
  but
• 33:08
  with
• 33:09
  his
• 33:09
  voice,
• 33:10
  because
• 33:10
  the
• 33:11
  angel
• 33:11
  brought
• 33:11
  him
• 33:12
  the
• 33:12
  words
• 33:12
  to
• 33:13
  say.
• 33:14
  Then,
• 33:14
  just
• 33:14
  as
• 33:14
  suddenly
• 33:15
  as
• 33:15
  he
• 33:15
  appeared,
• 33:16
  the
• 33:16
  angel
• 33:16
  is
• 33:16
  gone.
• 33:17
  Muhammad's
• 33:18
  heart
• 33:18
  is
• 33:18
  still
• 33:18
  pounding
• 33:19
  as
• 33:19
  he
• 33:19
  hurries
• 33:19
  down
• 33:20
  the
• 33:20
  mountain.
• 33:21
  When
• 33:21
  he
• 33:21
  gets
• 33:21
  home,
• 33:22
  he
• 33:22
  tells
• 33:22
  his
• 33:22
  wife
• 33:22
  Khadijah
• 33:23
  what
• 33:23
  happened.
• 33:24
  She
• 33:25
  comforts
• 33:25
  him
• 33:26
  and
• 33:26
  says
• 33:26
  she
• 33:26
  believes
• 33:27
  him,
• 33:27
  that
• 33:28
  God
• 33:28
  would
• 33:28
  never
• 33:28
  let
• 33:29
  anything
• 33:29
  bad
• 33:30
  happen
• 33:30
  to
• 33:30
  such
• 33:30
  a
• 33:30
  good
• 33:31
  and
• 33:31
  truthful
• 33:31
  man.
• 33:33
  Muslims
• 33:33
  remember
• 33:34
  that
• 33:34
  moment
• 33:34
  as
• 33:34
  the
• 33:34
  beginning
• 33:35
  of
• 33:35
  the
• 33:35
  Quran's
• 33:36
  revelation.
• 33:36
  And
• 33:37
  the
• 33:37
  very
• 33:37
  first
• 33:38
  command
• 33:38
  from
• 33:38
  God
• 33:39
  was
• 33:39
  not
• 33:39
  pray
• 33:40
  or
• 33:41
  give
• 33:41
  or
• 33:42
  do.
• 33:43
  It
• 33:43
  was
• 33:43
  read.
• 33:44
  That's
• 33:45
  a
• 33:45
  big
• 33:45
  deal.
• 33:46
  It
• 33:46
  means
• 33:46
  that
• 33:47
  seeking
• 33:47
  knowledge
• 33:48
  is
• 33:48
  one
• 33:48
  of
• 33:48
  the
• 33:48
  very
• 33:49
  first
• 33:49
  steps
• 33:49
  in
• 33:50
  living
• 33:50
  a
• 33:50
  faithful
• 33:51
  life.
• 33:52
  From
• 33:52
  that
• 33:52
  day
• 33:53
  on,
• 33:53
  Muhammad
• 33:53
  dedicated
• 33:54
  himself
• 33:54
  to
• 33:55
  sharing
• 33:55
  the
• 33:55
  knowledge
• 33:55
  revealed
• 33:56
  to
• 33:56
  him.
• 33:57
  He
• 33:57
  encouraged
• 33:58
  people
• 33:58
  to
• 33:58
  listen,
• 33:59
  to
• 34:00
  learn,
• 34:00
  and
• 34:01
  to
• 34:01
  write
• 34:01
  things
• 34:02
  down.
• 34:05
  So
• 34:05
  the
• 34:05
  story
• 34:05
  of
• 34:05
  Iqra
• 34:06
  or
• 34:06
  Reed,
• 34:06
  teaches
• 34:07
  Muslim
• 34:07
  children
• 34:08
  and
• 34:08
  grownups
• 34:08
  alike
• 34:10
  that
• 34:10
  God
• 34:10
  wants
• 34:10
  us
• 34:10
  to
• 34:11
  learn
• 34:11
  to
• 34:12
  read
• 34:12
  and
• 34:12
  to
• 34:12
  think
• 34:13
  deeply.
• 34:14
  That
• 34:14
  makes
• 34:14
  it
• 34:15
  a
• 34:15
  perfect
• 34:15
  match
• 34:15
  for
• 34:15
  Fatima
• 34:16
  Alfieri's
• 34:17
  story.
• 34:18
  Fatima
• 34:18
  built
• 34:18
  a
• 34:19
  real
• 34:19
  university
• 34:20
  where
• 34:20
  people
• 34:20
  could
• 34:20
  live
• 34:21
  out
• 34:21
  that
• 34:21
  command
• 34:22
  to
• 34:22
  seek
• 34:22
  knowledge.
• 34:23
  Next
• 34:24
  time
• 34:24
  you
• 34:24
  open
• 34:24
  a
• 34:24
  book
• 34:24
  or
• 34:25
  learn
• 34:25
  something
• 34:25
  new
• 34:26
  in
• 34:26
  school,
• 34:26
  you
• 34:27
  can
• 34:27
  remember
• 34:27
  this
• 34:28
  story
• 34:28
  and
• 34:29
  know
• 34:29
  that
• 34:29
  learning
• 34:30
  can
• 34:30
  be
• 34:30
  a
• 34:30
  sacred,
• 34:31
  powerful
• 34:31
  thing.
• 34:36
  Wow.
• 34:36
  We've
• 34:36
  covered
• 34:37
  so
• 34:37
  much
• 34:37
  today,
• 34:37
  haven't
• 34:38
  we?
• 34:39
  From
• 34:39
  the
• 34:39
  dusty
• 34:39
  streets
• 34:40
  of
• 34:40
  Fez
• 34:41
  to
• 34:41
  a
• 34:41
  cave
• 34:41
  of
• 34:41
  revelation,
• 34:43
  from
• 34:43
  playful
• 34:43
  quizzes
• 34:44
  to
• 34:44
  bridges
• 34:45
  of
• 34:45
  friendship
• 34:45
  across
• 34:46
  cultures.
• 34:47
  My
• 34:47
  heart
• 34:48
  feels
• 34:48
  full
• 34:48
  and
• 34:49
  my

  mind
• 34:49
  is
• 34:49
  buzzing

  with

  all
• 34:50
  this
• 34:50
  knowledge
• 34:51
  and
• 34:51
  inspiration.
• 34:52
  I
• 34:53
  am
• 34:53
  so
• 34:53
  proud
• 34:53
  of

  curious

  and

  listeners.
• 34:58
  Remember,

  the

  world
• 34:59
  is
• 34:59
  full
• 34:59
  of

  the

  Maybe

  tonight

  at

  dinner

  or

  at
