Exploits & Achievements of the Sahabiyat | Women Companions Study | Ages 12+ | 15 Pages
She fought at Uhud with a sword until she lost an arm. She ran a leather business. She narrated 2,000 hadith. She warned the Prophet ﷺ of an assassination plot. None of them are the same woman.
If your teen thinks the women of early Islam stayed quietly in the background, this pack corrects that in fifteen pages. Umm 'Ammārah shielded the Prophet ﷺ with her own body at Uḥud, then fought Musaylimah the Liar and lost an arm doing it. Shifā' bint 'Abdullāh was consulted regularly by Caliph 'Umar and placed in charge of market affairs. 'Ā'ishah (RA) narrated over 2,000 hadith and helped hold the Ummah together after Uthmān's (RA) martyrdom. Khadījah (RA) ran international trade caravans. Al-Khansā' is remembered as one of the greatest poets in the Arabic language. Umm Hāni' issued protection to a man, and the Prophet ﷺ upheld it — legal authority, exercised by a woman, confirmed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself.
Warriors, nurses, scholars, stateswomen, entrepreneurs, poets. This is the fullest picture of the Sahabiyat your teen will ever see in one place.
