Isabel de Solís (Arabic: ثريا الرومية Thoraya, Soraya, Zoraya) (before 1471 – after 1510) was the slave concubine and later the wife of Abu l-Hasan Ali, Sultan of Granada.[1] Originally a Christian from Castile, she converted to Islam under the name of Zoraya. She exerted a strong influence over her spouse. However, after the fall of Granada, she took up the name of Isabel again and reverted back to Catholicism.
