Née à Paris en 1940, Kenizé de Kotwara est la fille d’une princesse turque, membre de la Dynastie ottomane (petite-fille du sultan Mourad V par sa mère Hatidjé Sultane) mariée à un rajah indien mais réfugiée à Paris. Orpheline de sa mère peu après sa naissance, elle est élevée dans un milieu catholique.

À l’âge de 20 ans, la quête de ses origines l’amène à découvrir l’Islam dans textes des grands soufis. Percevant l’Islam comme une religion ouverte et tolérante, elle conçoit son identité musulmane comme « une appartenance plus qu'une religion » à une époque où elle adhère aux « valeurs gauchistes » ambiantes.

Quotes by Kenizé Mourad  (?)

“Why do women prefer adventurers who make them suffer, rather than men who are kind and attentive? Are they seduced by the man or by the vast horizons he allows them to glimpse? Is it the man they love or the dream he represents?”
Kenizé Mourad, In the City of Gold and Silver: The Story of Begum Hazrat Mahal

“Going against the customs of the Court and high society that consider it normal to make the lower classes wait indefinitely, Hazrat Mahal has never been able to accept this disregard for others, this manner of monopolising their time....this tendency to make them waste their lives, just out of indifference. She knows very well that for those who have nothing, offering their time is proof of their devotion.”
Kenizé Mourad, In the City of Gold and Silver: The Story of Begum Hazrat Mahal

“Ah! On est toujours en faute, ou parce qu'on n'aime pas assez, ou parce qu'on aime trop.”
Kenize Mourad, De la part de la princesse morte
