Al-Ḥurqah
Lakhmid-princess and arab poet · Writers · Died 693
Hind bint al-Nuʿmān, also known as al-Ḥurqah, was a pre-Islamic Arab poet. There is some historiographical debate, going back to the Middle Ages, over precisely what her names were, with corresponding debates over whether some of the bearers of these names were different people or not.
Al-Ḥurqah is read about 170 times a day, in 10 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 25 September 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
