Each Mother of the Believers receives a dedicated portrait: her background, her conversion, her relationship with the Prophet, her role in teaching and preserving the religion, and the lessons her life offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Women Companions — Muhajirun and Ansar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the Mothers of the Believers, the book covers the women of the Muhajirun who left Mecca for the sake of Allah, and the women of the Ansar who opened their homes and hearts to the early Muslim community.

The historical record shows Muslim women participated in medical care on the battlefield, transmitted hadith, gave fatwa, taught men and women alike, and shaped the intellectual and spiritual life of the early community in ways that have no parallel in any civilization of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised and annotated second edition includes new explanatory footnotes and a foreword by the translator.
