{The Outstrippers, the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them in good-doing, God is well- pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Him. And He has prepared for them gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to dwell forever; that is the mighty triumph.}
(Qur'aan, Surah at-Tawbah, 9:100)
The life of 'Aa'ishah is proof that a woman can be far more learned than men and that she can be the teacher of scholars and experts. Her life is also proof that a woman can exert influence over men and women and provide them with inspiration and leadership. Her life is also proof that the same woman can be totally feminine and be a source of pleasure, joy and comfort to her husband.

Her half-sister, 'Aa'ishah, was a wife of the Prophet and one of the Ummahaat al-Mu'mineen (Mothers of the Faithful). Her husband, Zubayr ibn al-'Awwaam, was one of the special personal aides of the Prophet.

Sahaabiyaat 28 Dec 2009 Hits:693 We do not know precisely how the young Abyssinian girl ended up for sale in Makkah. We do not know her 'roots', who her mother was, or her father or her ancestors. There were many like her, boys and girls, Arabs and non-Arabs, who were captured and brought to the slave market of the city to be sold.
A terrible fate awaited some who ended up in the hands of cruel masters or mistresses who exploited their labor to the full and treated them with the utmost harshness.
A few in that inhuman environment were rather more fortunate. They were taken... Sahaabiyaat 28 Dec 2009 Hits:545
'Umar was a headstrong young man of great determination. He saw Islaam as a threat to the Quraysh and became most violent and unrestrained in his attacks on Muslims. He finally decided that the only way to put an end to the trouble was to eliminate the man who was its cause. Goaded on by blind fury he took up his sword and headed for the Prophet's house. On his way he came face to face with a secret believer in the Prophet who seeing' Umar's grim expression asked him where he was going. "I am going to kill Muhammad..."

Fatimah was the fifth child of Muhammad and Khadijah. She was born at a time when her noble father had begun to spend long periods in the solitude of mountains around Makkah, meditating and reflecting on the great mysteries of creation.This was the time, before the Bithah (the dawn of Prophethood), when her eldest sister Zaynab was married to her cousin, al-'Aas ibn ar Rabi'ah. Then followed the marriage of her two other sisters, Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthum, to the sons of Abu Lahab, a paternal uncle of the Prophet. Both Abu Lahab and his wife Umm Jameel turned...

Picture this: a perceptive and intelligent woman, respected and generous, owning a business known for its integrity in all business transactions.
If you’re like most people, you probably conjured an image of a 21st century corporate type, but in fact, the woman I described is a prominent Islamic figure who lived in 7th century Arabia.
Khadijah bint Khuwailid (May Allah be Pleased with her) is the prominent figure in question. Girl power was alive well before women in the West demanded their rights in what is popularly known as the Feminist Movement.

Sahaabiyaat 25 Sep 2011 Hits:182 Habib grew up in a home filled with the fragrance of imaan (faith), and in a family where everyone was imbued with the spirit of sacrifice. Habib's father, Zayd ibn Asim, was one of the first persons in Yathrib to accept Islaam and his mother, the celebrated Nusaybah bint Kab known as Umm Ammarah, was the first woman to bear arms in defence of Islam and in support of the blessed Prophet.

Is love about dying for the one you love or living every breath with him?
Swapping love notes… exchange roses in Valentine's day is what real love is all about?
We all have a certain image of lovers, a star-crossed pair, love at first sight, living happily ever after…
Normally, we associate these ideas of love with couples who meet, date, and fall head over heels for each other. Very rarely do we relate these images to married couples.
Moreover, we almost never connect this perception to Muslim couples, who marry according to purely Islamic customs. Although this... Sahaabiyaat 06 Jan 2010 Hits:1336 His name was unusual and incomplete. Julaybib means "small grown" being the diminutive form of the word "jalbaab". The name is an indication that Julaybib was small and short, even of dwarf-like stature. More than that, he is described as being "dameem" which means ugly, deformed, or of repulsive appearance.
Even more disturbing, for the society in which he lived, Julaybib's lineage was not known. There is no record of who his mother or his father was or to what tribe he belonged. This was a grave disability in the society in which he lived. Julaybib could not expect any compassion... Sahaabiyaat 25 May 2010 Hits:286

Umm 'Umara set out to the battle with her husband, Ghaziya, and her two sons. Her intention had been to give water to the wounded, but Allah had planned for her a more rewarding role.
So she set out with her family with a waterskin,... Sahaabiyaat 22 Jun 2011 Hits:143 Aboo Sufyan ibn Harb could not conceive of anyone among the Quraysh who would dare challenge his authority or go against his orders. He was after all, the sayyid or chieftain of Makkah who had to be obeyed and followed.
His daughter, Ramlah, known as Umm Habibah, however dared to challenge his authority when she rejected the deities of the Quraysh and their idolatrous ways. Together with her husband, Ubaydullah ibn Jahsh, she put her faith in Allah alone and accepted the message of His prophet, Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah.
Abu Sufyan tried with all the power and force at his...
