Hind bint Utba

Hind bint ʿUtba (Arabic: هند بنت عتبة), was an Arab woman who lived in the late 6th and early 7th centuries CE; she was the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, a powerful man of Mecca, in western Arabia. She was the mother of Mu'awiya I, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty, and of Hanzala.

Both Abu Sufyan and Hind originally opposed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hind also opposed the islam in the battle of Ohud before their conversion to Islam in 630. She is especially praised in Islamic sources for her military role at the Battle of Yarmouk.
