Nur Felek Sultan (Arabic: نورفلک قادین; Turkish: Nurfelek Sultan; died 15 August 1916), was a consort of Isma'il Pasha of Egypt.[1]
Nur Felek Sultan married Isma'il Pasha, and gave birth to Prince Hussein Kamel Pasha on 21 November 1853.[2][3][4] Isma'il was deposed in 1879, and was succeeded by his son Tewfik Pasha. She was widowed at Isma'il's death in 1895.[5]
On 19 December 1914 the British Government declared Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasha deposed, and proclaimed Prince Hussein Kamel Pasha as Sultan of Egypt.[6] As a result, Nur Felek became the Walida Sultan, literally "mother of the sultan".[7]
Nur Felek died at the Mamure Palace, Alexandria on Tuesday 15 August 1916, and was buried at Imam-i Shafi'i next day at 4 p.m.[8]
