The Pious Wives Of The Holy Prophet

Introduction اَلْحَمْدُ لِلہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ All praises are due to Allah who created man, created him first out of soil and moulded him in the best shape and then conferred him superiority and control over each and every living creature. In other words He made him his vicegerent on the earth, taught him how to read and write and the art to express his feelings in the form of words. This is the very art which gave him superiority and triumph over the angels who, at the time of his creation objected, "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood” (Surah Baqarah Verse no.30) to which Allah elevated said, "I know that which you do not know." (Surah Baqarah Verse no.30) After his creation Allah taught him the names of things and after bestowing this art, He questioned the angels, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." (Surah Baqarah Verse no.31) They replied "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise." (Surah Baqarah Verse no.32) This was the first exam in which Allah gave man victory over the angles and Iblees. Then for the second time, He created him with a drop of dirty water (Semen) which had in it no virtue, but when the divine power of Allah worked over it, transformed its vices into virtues. This humble slave too places himself at the mercy and taufeeq of Allah and thanks Him for He has shaped me in the best form out of “When he was nothing to be mentioned?” (Surah Dah’r Verse no.1) guided me to the straight path and gave the taufeeq to transform the message of the holy prophet in English language. Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Idris Sahib Falahi gave this humble the book, “The pious wives of the holy prophet ” in Gujarati language. When I passed through its few pages, a strong desire was born in me to mould this book into English language and by the grace of Allah it was moulded too. May Allah accept this endeavour and make it a means of creating the true love of “The pious wives of the holy prophet ” and a means of gaining Allah’s pleasure, nearness and salvation on the day of resurrection! (Aameen) At last I would like to disclose that I have adopted Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali, & Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan’s translation, at the same time request you to invoke for the mentioned translators of the holy Qur’aan, the proof readers of the of the present work Maulana Manzar Qasmi Sb. (Former head of Enlish Dept. Darul Uloom Markaze Islami, Ankleshwar.) and sister Shahin A.Qaadir Shaikh (English teacher M.A.I. English-Medium Primary School, Kathor) and also for the writer of this book Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Idris Sahib Falahi. I would be pleased to receive your feedback in the form of your valuable suggestions.

I would gladly sit at these women's feet night after night to hear their stories. " -Elizabeth Cunningham, author of The Maeve Chronicles Untold demystifies the most influential women at the dawn of Islam: Prophet Muhammad's wives. They are presented in all their variety, among them, Khadija, a successful merchant and his only wife for twenty-five years; Umm Salama, who helped forge an important peace treaty; Rayhana and Safiyya, two Jewish captives; and there are others. This unusual book combines short biographies with meticulous research. The reader enters seventh century Arab culture and the first moments of what came to be a new religion. This book is powerful women's storytelling.

All of us wonder about the way the Messenger (PBUH) was with his wives. How he dealt with them? How he treated them equally? How was the Prophet Treating his Wives? What was the Prophet’s way in treating his wives? How could he treat them equally? The Prophet (PBUH) accomplished the happiness to every one of them; that is because he knew how to deal with women and he penetrated deeply into her sensitive soul and went on apostrophizing her with the warmth of passion and assisted her to work for her religion and her life. And what about his wives-the Mothers of all believers -? If we searched to know about their lives, we will find that most of the books describe the Prophet’s wives with a common quality; fasting a lot and spending their nights praying.
