The Mothers of the Believers, Wives of Prophet Muhammad (saw).
Limitless praises and thanks to our great Protector who bestowed upon us the honor of being in the Ummah (community) of Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who is the crown of the all the Prophets and was given the title Habibullah (Allah’s Beloved)!
Limitless peace and blessings upon our Master, the Honorable Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who was sent as an eternal mercy to all the universe and as a deliverer, healer (of body and soul), guide, messenger of good news, intercessor, and boundless honor of the creation!
Allah, the “All-Mighty”, bestowed Islam, the final and most perfect reli¬ gion, through the means of the Honorable Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who is the Mercy to the Universe.
That great Prophet, through every behavior and word, is the “tisve-i hasene” or the greatest example to all of mankind. About this Allah, the AllMighty, declared:
“Indeed you have in the Prophet of Allah a exceelnt exemplar and who remembers Allah much.” (Ahzab, 21 )
It is with utmost joy that I have read this compilation on the blessed lives of the Ummahatul Mumineen (Mothers of the Believers). This book presents to us a glimpse of the character and virtues of the chaste wives of our Holy Prophet (saw), in a straightforward yet comprehensive manner; so that both Muslims as well as non-Muslims will be able to see for themselves the simplicity and the nobility of the Blessed Mothers of Islam. This book likewise seeks to inform us how their marital relations with our Holy Prophet (saw) had produced profound spiritual transformation in each Ummahatul Mumineen’s inner spirit.
