Sumayyah bint Khabbat

Sumeyah was the first member of the Ummah (community) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to be killed for her faith, making her the first martyr of Islam, as well as the first female martyr. Shortly afterward, her husband Yasir ibn Amir was also killed because of his conversion, becoming the first male martyr. Her full name is given variously as Sumayya bint Khabbat or Sumayya bint Khayyat. She was the mother of Ammar ibn Yasir.
