[1] Aminah Haidar al-Sadr was born in 1937[2] in Kazimiyah, Baghdad where she would eventually establish several religious schools for girls.
Bint al-Huda played a significant role in creating Islamic awareness among the Muslim women of Iraq.
She was in her twenties when she began writing articles in al-Adwaa, an Islamic magazine printed by the religious intellectuals of Najaf, Iraq, in 1959.
She soon became aware of what she perceived to be the Muslim women's sufferings and the great disasters which were damaging Islamic ideology in her country.
In 1980, she and her brother, the religious leader Ayatollah Sayyid Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr, were arrested, brutally tortured and later executed by Saddam Hussein's regime due to their leading role in the opposition to the regime.
