Qur'anScience
One woman believed when everyone denied, and the Lord of the worlds sent her greetings of peace. Another was declared innocent by ten verses of the Qur’an, and became a teacher of the Companions. They are the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — whom Allah named the Mothers of the Believers. The thirty-second book of The Prophet’s Sirah (Part 1) tells of Khadijah, Sawdah, ‘A’ishah, Hafsah and Zaynab bint Khuzaymah.
“The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers.”
