The Early Muslim Women. Compiled and translated by:Dr. Abdel Hamid Eliwa
A woman is a half of hun1ankind and bears the other half. Thus, she is the whole world. Among the
most wonderful mysteries of our nature is that of sex. The unregenerate male is apt in the pride of his
physical strength, to forget the all-important part, which the female plays in his very existence, and in
all the social relationships that arise in our collective human lives. The mother that bore us must ever have
our reverence. Sex, which governs so much of our physical life, and has so much influence on our
emotional and higher nature, deserves not our fear, or our contempt or our amused indulgence, but -our
reverence in the highest sense of the term. One of the effective ways that magnify the
belief in one’s heart is to highlight some stories of the early believers. Such stories explain the seeming
contradictions of life, the enduring nature of virtue in a world full of flux and change and the marvelous
working of Allah’s eternal purpose in His plan as unfolded to us on the wide canvas of history
