Ummahat al-Mu’minīn: The Women Chosen by Allah: The Enduring Legacy of the Mothers of the Believers

Description

This powerful and beautifully written book explores the lives of the eleven women whom Allah honored as the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Mothers of the Believers.

From Khadijah, the first to believe, to Maymunah, the last to marry the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), each chapter offers rich insights into the faith, strength, and sacrifices of these remarkable women: Sawda, Aisha, Hafsa, Zaynab bint Khuzaymah, Umm Salamah, Zaynab bint Jahsh, Juwayriyyah, Umm Habibah, and Safiyyah.

Through authentic Qur’anic references, Hadith, and classical and contemporary scholarship, Aisha Othman reveals how these women helped shape Islam—and why their legacies still matter today. Perfect for students, seekers, and anyone looking to draw closer to the spiritual roots of the Ummah.
