Dar Al Makhzen
It has come to me that the great city of Fez has no place for study of manners important to us all. We must keep informed of the past and the future. Since the passing of my father, a great wealth has been bestowed upon myself. Though I mourn so, his wealth will not go unused. I ask not for much, as Allah will care for the rest. I require material, and good ones at that. I shall fast for every day of this great build. Stone and marble the bottom to begin, and great stone pillars. I will pray to Allah that this process will be well. And dare I do not hear back, I shall go into the building myself to request.
Always a Servant of the Great City of Fez and our Allah,
Fatima al-Fihri
