In the name of Allah Fatima Zahra (SBUH) daughter
of our dear prophet. Her mother was Khadije(SBUH) (the first muslem among women
and one of the biggest woman in Islam
¶dise .she was the great friend and backer for her husband Mohammed(SBUH)
). Fatima (SBUH)is the biggest woman in Islam
¶dise ,too and the best
of them .all of the other women ( her mother ,Mary(SBUH), Asie(SBUH)(wife of
Pharaoh)) are after her and obey her . she
married with son of Abu-Taleb (Abu-taleb was uncle of Mohammed (SBUH)and one of
the biggest men in Islam) in a very special day that this day is very sacred . she
had four children 2 boys(Hassan(AS) &Hussein(AS)) and 2 girls (Zainab
(AS)&Omme kolsum(AS)) .she married when she was 9 and became martyr when
she was 9 and became martyr when she was 18 years old while she was pregnant for her fifth child .her holy body
is in Mecca in Baqi cemetery .she was love of Mohammed (SBUH).No one knows the
exact place of her grave ,it is hidden for all muslems .our dear prophet liked
her more than every thing and every one in the world. And said about her :every
one hurts her is hurt me and every one likes her ,likes me .and he said Fatima
is my dear and part of me. Her mother died when she was child . after that time
,she was like a mother for her father (Mohammed(PBUH)).(Belal-Habashi (the
person who was saying azan in time of prophet every day and never said after his
die ))when Fatima asked him at last moments of her life to say azan again for
her .he accepted . voice of Belal caused that
she remember her father and nice days of being near him .after Belal began to
saying azan, nice and holy souvenir of our dear prophet left this world and
went near her dear father( almost 2 month after his father`s die). Edited by whitelion553 - 06 December 2012 at 8:32pm |

Thank you folks for pushing this thread up.
A great reminder to myself. Will see if I can add more to it.
Full of Hopes, most welcome to share anything you have.
Carighhreat, we belive that Jesus, peace be upon him did not marry. However most of the prophets/messengers had multiple wives. - Im not sure what you mean by it not being a thing of God. Polygamy has been prevalant amongst pagans, hindus, jews and many many ancient people.
I think women who are brought up in such a family setup are used to it and take it differently than those who have not seen it as common occurance.
Multiple marriages are better than infedility/multiple relationships - where are man tries to dupe away from serious responsibilities.
Would a woman want to choose such a circumstance for herself is a question similar to - 'would a woman want to date a married man' - women do date married men - I dont understand why they find it attractive

And whoever seeks a religion other than Isl�m, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers(3:85)

A genuine question for Muslim women.
Would you be happy or content to be one wife among many? Muhammad had many wives and they are exalted. But isn't the practice of many wives more of the pagan culture than a thing of God? I am thinking of the Harems of the Pharaoh. Sincere question. |

�The Prisoners of Karachi raise the slogan;
�We go for two, two years!� In the days of �Bi-Amma� people of India were fast adopting the Westernized way of life. To these people �Bi-Amma� cautioned: �Countrymen! Give up the way of life of these foreigners. Stick to the traditional way of life of your ancestors. Serve not these foreigners, nor accept honours from them because these people are very crafty and fraudulent.� |

Auzubillahi minash shaitan ir rajeem,
Bismillah ir rahman ir rahim,
< src="http://www.beautifulislam.net/s/font-.js">
The life of 'A'ishah (ra) 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.
She did not graduate from any university - there were no universities as such in her day. But still her utterances are studied in faculties of literature, her legal pronouncements are studied and researched by students and teachers of Muslim history as they have been for over a thousand years.
The bulk of her vast treasure of knowledge was obtained while she was still young. In her early childhood she was brought up by her father who was greatly liked and respected, for he was a man of wide knowledge, gentle manners, and an agreeable presence. Moreover, he was the closest friend of the Noble Prophet (saw) who was a frequent visitor to their home since the very early days of his mission.
Later, she came under the loving care and attention of the Prophet (saw) himself. As his wife and close companion she acquired from him knowledge and insight such as no woman has ever acquired.
About her wedding, she related that shortly before she was to leave her parents' house, she slipped out into the courtyard to play with a passing friend:
"I was playing on a see-saw and my long streaming hair was disheveled," she said. "They came and took me from my play and made me ready."
They dressed her in a wedding dress made from fine red-striped cloth from Bahrain and then her mother took her to the newly-built house where some women of the Ansar were waiting outside the door. They greeted her with the words "For good and for happiness - may all be well!" Then, in the presence of the smiling Prophet (saw), a bowl of milk was brought. The Prophet (saw) drank from it and offered it to 'A'ishah (ra). She shyly declined it but when he insisted she did so and then offered the bowl to her sister Asma' (ra) who was sitting beside her. Others also drank of it and that was as much as there was of the simple and solemn occasion of their wedding. There was no wedding feast.
Marriage to the Prophet (saw) did not change her playful ways. Her young friends came regularly to visit her in her own apartment.
"I would be playing with my dolls," she said, "with the girls who were my friends, and the Prophet (saw) would come in and they would slip out of the house and he would go out after them and bring them back, for he was pleased for my sake to have them there."
Sometimes he would say "Stay where you are" before they had time to leave, and would also join in their games. 'A'ishah (ra) said:
"One day, the Prophet (saw) came in when I was playing with the dolls and he said:
'O 'A'ishah, whatever game is this?'
'It is Solomon's horses,' I said and he laughed."
Sometimes as he came in he would screen himself with his cloak so as not to disturb 'A'ishah and her friends.
'A'ishah's early life in Madinah also had its more serious and anxious times. Once her father and two companions who were staying with him fell ill with a dangerous fever that was common in Madinah at certain seasons. One morning 'A'ishah (ra) went to visit him and was dismayed to find the three men lying completely weak and exhausted. She asked her father how he was and he answered her in verse but she did not understand what he was saying. The two others also answered her with lines of poetry, which seemed to her to be nothing but unintelligible babbling. She was deeply troubled and went home to the Prophet (saw) saying:
"They are raving, out of their minds, through the heat of the fever."
The Prophet (saw) asked what they had said and was somewhat reassured when she repeated almost word for word the line they had uttered and which made sense although she did not fully understand them then. This was a demonstration of the great retentive power of her memory, which as the years went by were to preserve so many of the priceless sayings of the Prophet (saw).
Of the Prophet's wives in Madinah, it was clear that it was 'A'ishah (ra) that he loved most. From time to time, one or the other of his companions would ask:
"O Messenger of Allah (saw), whom do you love most in the world?"
He did not always give the same answer to this question for he felt great love for many - for his daughters and their children, for Abu Bakr, for 'Ali, for Zayd and his son Usama (ra). But of his wives the only one he named in this connection was 'A'ishah (ra). She too loved him greatly in return and often would seek reassurance from him that he loved her. Once she asked him:
"How is your love for me?"
"Like the rope's knot," he replied meaning that it was strong and secure. And time after time thereafter, she would ask him:
"How is the knot?" and he would reply:
"'Ala haliha - in the same condition."
As she loved the Prophet (saw) so was her love a jealous love and she could not bear the thought that the Prophet's attentions should be given to others more than seemed enough for her. She asked him:
"O Messenger of Allah, tell me of yourself. If you were between the two slopes of a valley, one of which had not been grazed whereas the other had been grazed, on which would you pasture your flocks?"
"On that which had not been grazed," replied the Prophet (saw).
"Even so," she said, "and I am not as any other of your wives. Every one of them had a husband before you, except myself." The Prophet (saw) smiled and said nothing.
Of her jealousy, 'A'ishah (ra) would say in her later years:
"I was not jealous of any other wife of the Prophet (saw) as I was jealous of Khadijah (ra), because of his constant mentioning of her and because Allah (swt) had commanded him to give her glad tidings of a mansion in Paradise of precious stones. And whenever he sacrificed a sheep he would send a fair portion of it to those who had been her intimate friends. Many a time I said to him: "It is as if there had never been any other woman in the world except Khadijah (ra)."
Once, when 'A'ishah (ra) complained and asked why he spoke so highly of "an old Quraysh woman", the Prophet (saw) was hurt and said:
"She was the wife who believed in me when others rejected me. When people gave me the lie, she affirmed my truthfulness. When I stood forsaken, she spent her wealth to lighten the burden of my sorrow�"
Despite her feelings of jealousy which nonetheless were not of a destructive kind, 'A'ishah (ra) was really a generous soul and a patient one. She bore with the rest of the Prophet's household poverty and hunger, which often lasted for long periods. For days on end no fire would be lit in the sparsely furnished house of the Prophet (saw) for cooking or baking bread and they would live merely on dates and water. Poverty did not cause her distress or humiliation; self-sufficiency when it did come did not corrupt her style of life.
Once the Prophet (saw) stayed away from his wives for a month because they had distressed him by asking of him that which he did not have. This was after the Khaybar expedition when an increase of riches whetted the appetite for presents. Returning from his self-imposed retreat, he went first to 'A'ishah's apartment. She was delighted to see him but he said that he had received Revelation, which required him to put two options before her. He then recited the verses:
"O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornments, then come and I will bestow its goods upon you, and I will release you with a fair release. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, then verily Allah has laid in store for you an immense reward for such as you who do good." (Surah al-Ahzab, 33:28)
'A'ishah's reply was:
"Indeed, I desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter," and her response was followed by all the others.
She stuck to her choice both during the lifetime of the Prophet (saw) and afterwards. Later, when the Muslims were favored with enormous riches, she was given a gift of one hundred thousand dirhams. She was fasting when she received the money and she distributed the entire amount to the poor and the needy even though she had no provisions in her house. Shortly after, a maidservant said to her:
"Could you buy meat for a dirham with which to break your fast?"
"If I had remembered, I would have done so," she said.
The Prophet's affection for 'A'ishah (ra) remained to the last. During his final illness, it was to 'A'ishah's apartment that he went at the suggestion of his wives. For much of the time he lay there on a couch with his head resting on her breast or on her lap. She it was who took a tooth stick from her brother, chewed upon it to soften it and gave it to the Prophet (saw). Despite his weakness, he rubbed his teeth with it vigorously. Not long afterwards, he lost consciousness and 'A'ishah (ra) thought it was the onset of death, but after an hour he opened his eyes.
'A'ishah (ra) it is who has preserved for us these dying moments of the most honored of Allah's creation, His beloved Messenger (saw).
When he opened his eyes again, 'A'ishah (ra) remembered his having said to her:
"No Prophet is taken by death until he has been shown his place in Paradise and then offered the choice to live or to die."
"He will not now choose us," she said to herself. Then she heard him murmur:
"With the supreme company in Paradise, with those upon whom Allah has showered His favor - the Prophets, the martyrs and the righteous�"
Again she heard him murmur:
"O Lord, with the supreme company, " and these were the last words she heard him speak. Gradually his head grew heavier upon her breast, until others in the room began to lament, and 'A'ishah (ra) laid his head on a pillow and joined them in lamentation.
In the floor of 'A'ishah's room near the couch where he was lying, a grave was dug in which was buried the Seal of the Prophets (saw) amid much bewilderment and great sorrow.
Many of the learned companions of the Prophet (saw) and their followers benefited from 'A'ishah's knowledge. Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (ra) once said:
"If we companions of the Messenger of Allah (saw) had any difficulty on a matter, we asked 'A'ishah about it."
Her nephew 'Urwah (ra) asserts that she was proficient not only in fiqh but also in medicine (tibb) and poetry. Many of the senior companions of the Prophet (saw) came to her to ask for advice concerning questions of inheritance, which required a highly skilled mathematical mind. Scholars regard her as one of the earliest fuqaha' of Islam along with persons like 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Ali and 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas (ra). The Prophet (saw) referring to her extensive knowledge of Islam is reported to have said:
"Learn a portion of your religion (din) from this red colored lady." "Humayra'" meaning "Red-colored" was an epithet given to 'A'ishah (ra) by the Prophet (saw).
'A'ishah (ra) not only possessed great knowledge, but took an active part in education and social reform. As a teacher she had a clear and persuasive manner of speech and her power of oratory has been described in superlative terms by al-Ahnaf (ra), who said:
"I have heard speeches of Abu Bakr and 'Umar, 'Uthman and 'Ali and the Khulafa' (ra) up to this day, but I have not heard speech more persuasive and more beautiful from the mouth of any person than from the mouth of 'A'ishah (ra)."
Men and women came from far and wide to benefit from her knowledge. The number of women is said to have been greater than that of men. Besides answering inquiries, she took boys and girls, some of them orphans, into her custody and trained them under her care and guidance. This was in addition to her relatives who received instruction from her. Her house thus became a school and an academy.
Some of her students were outstanding. We have already mentioned her nephew 'Urwah (ra) as a distinguished reporter of hadith. Among her women pupils is the name of 'Umrah bint 'Abdur Rahman (ra). She is regarded by scholars as one of the trustworthy narrators of hadith and is said to have acted as 'A'ishah's secretary receiving and replying to letters addressed to her. The example of 'A'ishah (ra) in promoting education and in particular the education of Muslim women in the laws and teachings of Islam is one that needs to be followed.
