This included building mosques, disseminating education, and transcribing the Holy Quran, and other religious and scientific books. They also cared for the sick, assisted the impoverished and orphaned, and directed their charitable efforts within their extensive society. Additionally, This work included the wives of caliphs, concubines, female scholars, and others. As a result, a substantial number of women interested in charitable work emerged in the land of Andalusia.
