This book is about the life stories of the Mothers of the Believers and
16 other Sahabyat who had been given the good news of the paradise in
this world by Prophet Muhammad (S). There are good examples in the
lifestyle of the Mothers of the believers and women Companions
especially for the Muslim women. It is necessary for all of us to study
the Seerah of these noble and fortunate women. Besides the Mothers of
the believers, the compiler of the book has included the description of
those sixteen women who had been given the good News of the Paradise in
this world by the Prophet Muhammad (S).
All the Mothers of the believers were of very noble character and
conduct and pleased Allah so much that He sent special greeting for
Khadijah (R) 'Aishah (R) , had a brilliant mind and a remarkable memory,
and had the distinction of being the source of many Ahddith because of
her long association with the Prophet.
Her knowledge of the many branches of religion like Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh
and Shari'ah, her wisdom in interpretation, her mastery of the
teachings of the Prophet - all these qualities made her one of the most
remarkable personalities of the time.
Female Companions were very
active in religion as well as in politics and business. They were so
courageous in the battlefield that their services like giving medical
aid to the soldiers, nursing the wounded on the battlefields, and
providing food and water to the wounded and thirsty can be found in
history. They spread the message of Islam and it is proved by many of
the instances that converted many of the disbelievers to Islam. There
are many more stories likes this that will encourage our Islamic
sisters to get more knowledge about such great women. I hope that they
will study this book thoroughly and try their best to follow these noble
women of Islam. Although the original book is in
the Urdu language but the efforts of the translator had made it more
beneficial for the readers.
