# Umm Sulaym bint Milhan

Al-Rumayṣāʾ bint Milḥān (Arabic: الرميصاء بنت ملحان; died c. 650 CE; 28 AH), popularly known by her kunya as Umm Sulaym, was a companion of Islamic prophet Muhammad and was one of the earliest women converts to Islam in Yathrib (now Medina).

## Biography

Umm Sulaym was the daughter of Milhan bin Khalid al-Ansari who belonged to Najjar clan of Banu Khazraj. She was the sister of Umm Haram bint Milhan and Haram bin Milhan. She was first married to Malik ibn al-Nadr and her son by this marriage was Anas ibn Malik, a notable companion of Muhammad. Ibn an-Nadr was polytheist and was angry for her conversion to Islam. He left her and went to Syria and died there.
Following the death of her first husband, Abu Talha al-Ansari resolved to become engaged to her before anyone else did. He was confident that Umm Sulaym would not pass him over for another. He was quite rich, an accomplished horseman, and a skilful archer and he belonged to the same clan as Umm Sulaym, the Banu Najjar. But she refused. Abu Talha did not take no for an answer. He asked her if there was someone more worthy for her than him, and she explained that she was a Muslim and could not marry a polytheist. He accepted Islam and they were married, and she started educating him in Islam. Abu Talhah became a devout Muslim who loved to be in the company of Muhammad. Abu Talhah died while he was on a naval expedition during the time of the caliph Uthman, and was buried at sea.

Kirpal has been in a relationship with his partner Nicolas Germain Bachmann for the past 20 years. Nicolas is a European and works at the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in New Delhi. He is also a Swiss human rights activist.

## Career

Kirpal briefly worked at the United Nations in Geneva before returning to India. Since then, he has been practising at the Supreme Court for more than two decades. He was also the counsel for Navtej Singh Johar & Ors. v. Union of India that led to the landmark reading down of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code in 2018, thus decriminalising homosexual acts. He is also a board member of the Naz Foundation Trust, a Delhi-based NGO which is opposed to Section 377. He has also worked under former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi.

Kirpal is currently recommended to be elevated to High Court judge in Delhi, which will make him the first openly gay judge in India. However, his nomination has been continually delayed by the Ministry of Law and Justice since his name was given in 2017, despite the Supreme Court of India having held four debates on the matter and recommending him in November 2021. In January 2023, the Supreme Court of India confirmed previous reporting that the ministry had stalled his nomination on the basis of his sexual orientation and relationship with Bachmann, claiming that it would make him "biased" when ruling on cases related to LGBT rights and that his partnership with a foreign national was a security threat, despite India's Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) having investigated him twice and found no such evidence. The court again recommended that Kirpal be nominated, stating that Kirpal's openness about his sexuality was a "credit" and would promote diversity, calling his conduct "above board", and stating that his partner would not inhibit Kirpal's loyalty, pointing out that other high officials had married foreign nationals. The statement was hailed by LGBT rights activists, who criticized the central government for holding back Kirpal's nomination. Manish Tewari, a Congress MP, also questioned why R&AW was investigating Kirpal and his partner, stating that it was outside their "external remit" to investigate residents of India and their sexual orientation.

# Al-Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam

Al-Arqam ibn Abī al-Arqam (Arabic: ألأرقم إبن أبي الأرقم) (c. 597-675) was a companion of Muhammad. He was the owner of the house where the early Muslim community held its meetings.

## Biography

He was from the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe. His father, known as Abu'l-Arqam, was Abdmanaf ibn Asad ibn Umar ibn Makhzum. His mother was Umayma bint Al-Harith from the Khuza'a tribe.
He married Hind bint Abdullah from the Asad tribe, and their children were Umayya and Maryam. By various concubines, he was also the father of Ubaydullah, Uthman and Safiya. The descendants of Ubaydullah died out; all of Al-Arqam's surviving descendants were through Uthman.
Al-Arqam is eighth on the list of "people who became Muslims at the invitation of Abu Bakr," who of course were not on the total list of all Muslims.
He joined the general emigration to Medina in 622, and Muhammad granted him a house there in the Zurayq quarter. He fought at Badr and, at the division of the spoils, asked for and obtained a sword named al-Marzuban. He also fought at the Uhud, the Battle of the Trench and "all the battles with Allah's Messenger."
He died during the reign of Mu’aawiyah in the year 675 (55 A.H.).

## The House of Al-Arqam

The harassment and persecution of Muslims by Quraysh polytheists (mushriks) in Mecca was increasing, and the Muslims could not worship comfortably. Al-Arqam's house was selected as a safe place to meet, pray and learn about the faith because it was located on the east of As-Safa Hill, where Muhammad was living at the commencement of his prophetic mission. The house could be entered and exited secretly because it was in a narrow street, and the street could be surveyed from within. In the fifth year of the mission Arqam’s house, which became known as the House of Islam, can be regarded as the first Islamic school, with Muhammad as the teacher and the first Muslims as its students.
New converts were brought to Al-Arqam's house. In the sixth year of the mission (615-616 CE), two powerful citizens of the Quraysh tribe, Muhammad’s uncle Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib and Umar ibn Al-Khattab, entered to announce their adoption of Islam. Umar's conversion brought the total to forty men, after which the members of the group embarked on a mission to spread Islam to the world.
Al-Arqam bequeathed his house to his son on the condition that it would not be sold. However, in the time of Abu Jaafar al-Mansur, one of Al-Arqam's grandsons was persuaded to sell his share in the house for 17,000 dinars in exchange for being released from prison; and his relatives were then bribed into selling their own shares.
His house is now called Daru’l-Khayzuran after a subsequent owner. It is opposite the Kaaba and is used as a religious school today.
# Athenodorus (actor)

Athenodorus (Ancient Greek: Ἀθηνόδωρος) was a tragic actor, victor at the Dionysia in 342—in the Antigone of Astydamas—and 329 BC. He performed also at the games after the victorious siege of Tyre in honour of Heracles in 331 BC, with the Cypriot Pasicrates of Soli being his choregos, and was victorious over Thessalus, whom Nicocreon of Cyprus supported and Alexander himself favored. Soon afterwards he returned to Athens, as his Dionysiac victory of 329 shows. At some point Athenodorus was fined by the Athenians for failing to appear at the festival, and he asked Alexander to intercede in writing on his behalf; Alexander instead paid his fine. In 324 Athenodorus reappears at the Susa wedding festival, along with Aristocritus and Thessalus.

# Eustathios Kamytzes

Eustathios Kamytzes (Greek: Εὐστάθιος Καμύτζης; fl. 1091 – after 1118) was an aristocrat, administrator, provincial governor and military commander in the Byzantine Empire during the reigns of Alexios I Komnenos and John II Komnenos.

## Background and life

The Kamytzes family were prominent landowners in the Meander Valley in western Anatolia. The first evidence of the family is an extant lead seal of the strategos (general) and protospatharios epi tou Chrysotriklinou Theodore Kamytzes, dating to 1030–1050.
Eustathios Kamytzes is mentioned by Anna Komnene a number of times in her history of her father, the Alexiad. According to Anna Komnene, Kamytzes was a large, heavy man. In 1091–1092, he helped Gregory Gabras, son of Theodore Gabras, to escape from Constantinople. Kamytzes was jailed for his part in the plot. However, he regained the trust of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos and was appointed to the rank of proedros and the office of chartoularios. In 1098 he was made a strategos. In 1108 he was involved in military operations against the Siculo-Norman invaders of Epirus. Sometime between 1108 and 1113 he may have served as doux (military governor) of Cyprus. In 1113 he was doux of Nicaea, and was captured when fighting against the Seljuk Turks. In battle, a large part of his army sought safety in flight, while he and his remaining men made a stand. After his horse was killed, he stood with his back against an oak tree, fighting off his assailants for some time. Kamytzes was persuaded to surrender by the Turkish commander. He managed to escape when his captors were attacked by another Byzantine force. Kamytzes then joined the army of the Emperor, who sent him back to Constantinople.
Kamytzes was given the high court title of sebastos, possibly in recognition of his military services in Anatolia. Possession of this title implies a close association with the imperial family. On the death of Alexios I in 1118, his son, Emperor John II, turned to Kamytzes, who was given a place in the new emperor's administration. Kamytzes died at an unknown date prior to 1136. John II directed that the name of Eustathios Kamytzes be commemorated in the church liturgy on the Saturdays of Meatfare, Cheesefare, and Pentecost.

## Family

Little direct evidence of the immediate family of Eustathios Kamytzes has survived. However a probable son, Constantine Kamytzes, sealed his family's place in the highest echelons of Byzantine aristocracy through his marriage to Maria Angelina Komnene, daughter of Constantine Angelos and the purple-born princess Theodora Komnene, and thus a niece of John II.
