Ruqayyah bint Muhammad ﷺ In-Depth Study | Seerah of the Sahabiyat | Ages 12+

Ruqayyah (RA), daughter of the Prophet ﷺ and Khadījah (RA), is often mentioned in a single line of seerah timelines. Her actual life holds far more: married to Abu Lahab's son before Islam, divorced the moment Surah al-Masad was revealed, then married to ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān (RA) and twice forced to flee to Abyssinia for her deen. A miscarriage. A son, ʿAbdullāh, lost at six. And her own death in Ramadan, while her father ﷺ was at Badr — so that he returned from a Muslim victory to a fresh grave, and gently wiped his own daughter Fāṭimah's (RA) tears at the graveside.
