Naglaa Ali Mahmoud (Arabic: نجلاء على محمود, IPA: [ˈnæɡlæ ˈʕæli mæħˈmuːd] or [næɡˈlæːʔ]; born 4 July 1962) is the widow and cousin of the fifth President of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi and was First Lady from 2012 to 2013.[1][2]

Naglaa rejected the title of First Lady, preferring to be called "First Servant," the "president's wife," or "Umm Ahmed," a traditional name (kunya) which means mother of Ahmed, her oldest son.[1][3]

Personal life

Naglaa married former president of Egypt Mohamed Morsi in 1979 when she was a seventeen-year-old student.[4] Naglaa and Morsi have five children, including Abdullah and six grandchildren.[4]
