About
One of two twin daughters born to Somali-British former long-distance runner and multi-Olympic gold-medalist Mo Farah. She and her twin sister, Amani, were born just thirteen days after their father's Olympic triumph in the 5,000m race in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England.
Before Fame
She was born just before her twin sister, Amani, was born. Those close to her family stated that, if she were to be born early, her father should not be informed so as not to distract him from his Olympic competition.
Trivia
She was born at 5lb 2oz after her father cut the umbilical cord. Her father explained that he and his wife had chosen her and her sister's names because they wished to choose Muslim names beginning with the same initial.
Family Life
She is the twin sister of Amani Farah, both of whom were born to parents Tania and Mo Farah. They also have a stepsister named Rihanna and a younger brother named Hussein, who was born in 2015.

Her father is the second athlete to win both the 5,000m and the 10,000m Olympic gold medal, after runner Lasse Viren.
