Bibi Fatima and the King’s Sons

68 Feroz Shah for he wants to retaliate against me. I also want to go to live with my daughter there. It so happened that a Portuguese ship was leaving at dawn. They put her on board and with the early rising sun, Sayyidatu-Nisa made her way with her money and jewelry to the open sea heading for Goa. As the son rose, the news spread like a house on fire that the king’s wife had become Christian and fled to Goa. The locals away from the palace were saying “Queen Latifa, the daughter of nobility, the granddaughter of the Prophet of Allah became Christian!! How could that be?!” The news was in everyone’s mouth. “She is the sister of Rais Nuruddin, former wazir of Hormuz. She is the sister of Badruddin, Chief Judge of Magestan. And she is the sister of Rais Sharafuddin, current wazir of Hormuz. What an utter shame!”
