DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum athalaatha, 27th day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Tuesday, 18th November, 2025.
Bismillaah.
If the history of Islam be viewed and analyzed from an objective point of view, then one would ultimately reach the conclusion that women have a great role and status in Islam and throughout the Islam history they have made their contributions and for those contribution they have been revered and appreciated.
Like renowned and great men of Islam there are Muslim women as well who have left their mark on Islamic history and who stand as role models for Muslim women to follow and seek guidance from. I will be sharing on some great women of Islam from today, who must be the role models of every Muslim woman of today and the lesson, which Muslim women must learn from their lives. The order is not of any relevant please.
1. Our Mother Khadijah (R.A):
For rich Muslim women, there can be no greater role model than our mother Khadijah (R.A). She was the first and only wife of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the richest of them all till she died before the Prophet married again. She inherited a great fortune from her father after his passing away, however, the use of that fortune is what Muslim women need to learn from. Despite her being rich, she was never proud of it, rather she always fed the poor, gave them clothes and assisted her family with regards to their financial needs. Regarding her, The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“The best of world’s women is our mother Maryam, the mother of Issah alayhi salaam (in her lifetime), and the best of world’s women is our Mother Khadijah (in her lifetime).” (in Saheeh Bukhari).
Khadijah (RA) was not known for a pious business woman only, rather her role as a supporting wife and a true Muslim is also evident from her life. She was the one who supported and encouraged Prophet Mohammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) when revelation came to Him for the first time. Moreover, when Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) started preaching Islam, she stood by Him and supported Him in every regard possible. She supported the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam financially and made him the manager of her wealth and business. Please find books about her and read more. To be continued tomorrow in other role models to follow. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences Aameen.
