The khalwa (place of seclusion) of Sayyida Nafisa, the great, great, great-granddaughter of the Messenger of God ﷺ.

Known for her knowledge and piety, Sayyida Nafisa (ra) would retreat to this spot, then located outside the city (now within Cairo) to spend time in seclusion and worship, as her grandfather ﷺ before her and the women and men of God were known to do regularly.

The place is preserved in her memory, and visitors can go and sit in the place in which she once worshipped. A beautiful scent emanates from within.

“In the remote village of Kiselchovo, tucked away in Bulgaria’s Rhodope Mountains, a small mosque without a minaret stood quietly, preserving the memory of a little-known Muslim community. I hadn’t come to Bulgaria expecting to find traces of Islamic history, but there it was, waiting to be encountered.”
