In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, and may His blessings and peace be upon the Messenger after whom there are no Messengers.
Khadijah: The first to accept Islam, a successful business woman a supporter to the early development of Islam, a philanthropist and the first wife of the Prophet (Peace be upon him).
Aisha: The most beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)… Sahaba رضي الله عنهم would turn to her in case of any difficulty regarding the Islamic law..needless to say she was the ocean of wisdom and knowledge despite the fact that she was the youngest one among his wives.
Maryam: A virgin that give birth to Prophet Isah (AS), she sweeps and clean Masjid day and night, she submitted herself to Allah and a surah in the Qur’an is named after her Suratul Maryam.
Asiyah: A woman of unshakable Iman (faith), Foster mother of Prophet Musa (AS), A wife to a rich, powerful and dictator fir’aun but yet full of wisdom. She left materialism and chose Allah and the Hereafter.
Ummu Ammar (Summayyah): The first woman to embrace Islam outside the family of Prophet (Peace be upon him), The first Muslim to be martyred.
Ummu Sulaim: One of The military woman who fought at the battle field while she was pregnant during the time of Prophet (Peace be upon him).
Fatimah: Daughter of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), an obedient wife and caring mother, a nurse and a doctor who treated the injured and wounded at the battle field during the time of Prophet (Peace be upon him).
Yes. Women are an asset, they are too precious why? Because in the Qur’an, Allah named a surah after women; surah An-nisah: The chapter of women.
Respect your women not just one day but everyday, every moment and every breath of your life because Your Prophet did so. Not because society decided to name one day for women.
