Hadith About Women's Period and Reading the Quran

This commodity is virtually women that appear in the Quran. For the roles, rights, and duties of women every bit laid out in the Quran, encounter Women in Islam.

Women in the Quran are important characters and subjects of discussion in the stories and morals taught in Islam. Most of the women in the Quran are represented equally either the mothers or wives of leaders or prophets. They retained a sure corporeality of autonomy from men in some respects; for example, the Quran describes women who converted to Islam before their husbands or women who took an independent oath of fidelity to Prophet Muhammad.^[1]

While the Quran does non name any woman except for Mary direct, women play a function in many of its stories. These stories take been field of study to manipulation and rigid interpretation in both classical commentary and popular literature from patriarchal societies.^[2] The cultural norms existing within a patriarchy have shaped the mode that these societies approached the text and created a pervading narrative that dictated the mode future generations were gear up to interpret these stories and the part of women within the Quran. Throughout history, different Islamic scriptural interpreters and lawmakers constantly reinterpreted the women presented in the Quran as a event of the dominating ideology and historical context of the time. In the wake of modernity and the rise of Islamic feminism, many scholars are looking dorsum to the original text, reexamining the accustomed classical interpretations of women, and reimagining women's role within the Quran.^[two]

Women are not seen as prophets in mainstream Islam as all of the prophets are men, therefore in that location are no female prophets in Islam. Although many scholars in past had dissimilar views.

Adam'south spouse [edit]

Eve (Hawa), Adam's spouse, is mentioned in Q2:30-39; seven:11-25; 15:26–42; 17:61–65; 18:l–51; 20:110–124; and in verses 38:71–85, just the name "Eve" (Arabic: حواء , Ḥawā') is never revealed or used in the Quran. Eve is mentioned by name merely in hadith.^[3] The Quranic narrative of Adam and Eve'south cosmos and fall differs thematically from the more fleshed out story in the Jewish and Christian traditions. Similar to the Christian and Jewish tale, Allah created Adam and Eve and a place for them to alive, Paradise. However, in the Quran, Hawa'due south role is minimal, as she is the accomplice to human sin rather than the instigator. It is Adam who is forewarned by Allah that Iblis, Satan, is their natural enemy and the threat to their removal from heaven.^{[ commendation needed ]}

"And so Nosotros said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy; "

—Quran, Sura xx (Ta-Ha), ayat 117 ^[a]

The literal Quranic text in many ways removes the blame that is often placed upon Eve. Instead of being portrayed as the cause of Adam's fall, Eve is simply presented as equally compliant in the sin and then afterward, every bit compliant in the punishment and atonement.^[4] Even so early on critical interpretation surrounding the creation and fall story was influenced heavily past the pervading Christian and Jewish notions of Eve.^[five] Therefore, early medieval interpretations focus on depicting Hawa as morally and mentally compromised. As in the Christian and Jewish tradition, Hawa is seen as the 1 who tempts the prophet Adam into sin. The early work of Hadith-based scholar al-Tabari in particular showcases many passages that claim women'due south menstruation and the affliction of bearing children are a straight result of Hawa's foolishness.^[6]

"Were information technology not for the calamity that affected Hawa, the women of this world would not menstruate, would exist wise, and would bear their children with ease."

—al-Tabari (I:529)^[seven]

However, in modern times the explanation and general understanding of Hawa have shifted and are deeply debated. Her status as the start adult female in the world is relevant since she is looked upon as the model for her sexual activity and Allah'south archetype of a woman.^[6] Today both traditional and modernist thinkers expect to Hawa either to back up or deny their statement regarding the equality of women in the religion. Specifically, those with a traditionalist view believe in the hadith and the interpretation that Hawa was created from one of Adam's crooked ribs. And therefore when the Prophet explained women were created from the kleptomaniacal office of the rib, "He was non blaming the woman, only was defining women's natural disposition and the preponderance of emotions over rationality."^[8] In response, more than liberal interpretations cite no direct and incontestable truth that Hawa was created from a "crooked rib"; they merits such suggestions practice not stalk from verifiable sources. Rather, they strive to emphasize the purpose of the cosmos and autumn story itself. This was not to decry the homo nature of either sexual practice but deed as an instance of Allah's guidance, punishment and ultimate forgiveness.^[6]

Wives of Noah and Lot [edit]

Oftentimes the names of these women are confused, however, the full general scholarly consensus is that Noah's wife was Amzura while Lot'southward wife was Wā'ila.^[two] This continual reversal of the two names underscores exactly how both women have ultimately served the aforementioned purpose in Islamic scriptural estimation. In the instance of Noah's married woman many theorists surmise that she died in the inundation and was not allowed on the ark because of her continual insinuation that her married man was crazy.^[9] In plow, Lot'southward married woman is thought to have died alongside the people of Sodom since she betrayed her duty as a wife and conspired alongside the corrupt people.^[2] In both examples the wives of Allah's prophets were the only ones punished for their disbelief and betrayal of their husbands. This is an important stardom, since Islamic theorists highlight that this establishes the spiritual individuality of women.^[2] It is they who have the freedom to choose their religiosity, and information technology is they who in turn pay the price. Ultimately, the purpose of their mention in the Quran is to set an case of the consequence for active disbelief in Allah and his prophets.^{[ citation needed ]}

The three verses in the Quran mentioning the wives of Noah and Lot, or Nuh and Lut in Arabic, are a conjoined entry depicting the consequences and response by Allah to non-believers.^{[ citation needed ]}

"God sets forth an case to those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them so they availed them naught against God, and it was said: Enter both the burn down with those who enter."

—Quran, Sura 66 (At-Tahrim), ayat 10 ^[b]

Daughters of Lot [edit]

The role that Lot's daughters play in these interpretations is largely passive and an attempt to demonstrate his devotion to God. However, beyond that simple explanation, they also human action as a foil to their mother who conspired with the people of Sodom by alerting them to Lot'due south guests. While their mother was therefore condemned to the same fate as the sinners in Sodom, Lot'south daughters were spared and escaped owing to their personal amende.^[2]

And his people came rushing towards him and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye ally). At present fear God and encompass me not with shame well-nigh my guests! Is there not among you a unmarried correct-minded man?" They said: "Well dost thou know nosotros have no need of thy daughters: indeed 1000 knowest quite well what we desire!"

—Quran, Sura xi (Hud), ayat 79 ^[c]

However, the people of Sodom reject Lot's offering and keep their sinful deeds. At next mention in Sura 15 (al-Hijr) Lot again offers his daughters. This time though, his actions were taken to forestall the people of Sodom from committing abominations confronting the guests in his business firm.^[2]

He said, "Here are my daughters, if you must be doing what you intend to practise!"

—Quran, Sura 15 (al-Hijr), ayat 71 ^[d]

Sarah, Wife of Abraham [edit]

In contrast to the Old Testament and the Torah, Sarah, wife of the Prophet Abraham, plays a decidedly smaller role in the Quran. In both the Christian and Jewish traditions she is the mother of the called son, Isaac, and therefore a more important person.^[2]

In the hadith Sarah is non mentioned directly only rather alluded to in Hagar.

Sarah, and Their Children :Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Perspectives (1st ed.). Louisville, Ky.: Westminster John Knox Printing.</ref> Hagar'south struggles, dealt with extensively in Sahih al-Bukhari, are important to the Islamic tradition since many Muslims paint her every bit the female parent of all Arabs and 1 of the pre-Islamic pioneers.^[10] While this may seem to castigate Sarah as the villain in Hagar's story, she is not seen or depicted in Islamic writing as the impetus for Hagar's exile. Unlike the more traditional Jewish and Christian explanations that paint a contentious relationship between Hagar and Sarah, Islamic interpretations are largely devoid of commentary on Sarah, choosing rather to focus on the hardships and successes of Hagar.^[6]

And his wife, continuing [nearby], laughed [with happiness]; whereupon We gave her the glad tiding of [the birth of] Isaac and, after Isaac, of [his son] Jacob.Quran, Sura xi (Hud), ayat 71–72 ^[e]

At 2nd time, Sarah is mentioned is Surah Al-Dhazariyat Poetry#29.

Aziz's Wife (Zulaykha) and the Ladies [edit]

The story of Yusuf and Zulaykha, wife of Joseph'southward primary the Aziz, is one of the about extensive depictions of women in the Quran.^[2] She appears in Surah 12 (Yusuf) as part of Joseph'south chronological narrative soon afterward he is sold into slavery in Arab republic of egypt. In this narrative Zulaykha attempts to seduce Joseph, at outset outright and so by using guile and wit.

But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his (truthful) self: she attached the doors, and said: "Now come up, one thousand (beloved ane)!" He said: "God forbid! Truly (thy husband) is my lord! He made my sojourn agreeable! Truly to no skilful come up those who do incorrect!"

—Quran, Sura 12 (Yusuf), ayat 23 ^[f]

Subsequently Joseph rebuffed her advances, the women of society began to gossip about Zulaykha's affection for him. She, in plow, prepared a banquet in these women's accolade. At this banquet when Joseph appeared, the women extolled him and yelled out to God that he must exist an affections.^[11] The story continues with Zulaykha attempting to trick Joseph into inbound into an affair with her. The results of this lands Joseph in jail. When the King the women and Zulaykha of their role they answer:

"The king said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "God preserve the states! No evil know we confronting him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous)."

—Quran, Sura 12 (Yusuf), ayat 51^[k]

Renditions of this story outside the Quran accept focused historically on and sought to institute the natural duplicitous and cunning nature of women.^[6] Especially in the works of early interpreters, Zulaykha and the ladies are not portrayed as the multi-faceted characters the Quran suggests but rather are considered only for "their unbridled sexuality and guile."^[two] This depiction is used every bit all the same another conservative case of the inherent threat the female person sex poses to men and their piety. al-Baydawi'south interpretation specifically highlights the inherent contrast between a prophet's devotion to God and the sly nature of women.^[12] Recently, however, the critical caption surrounding Zulaykha has expanded to present dissimilar possible interpretations. In many instances this story is now used as an allegory depicting the ability of pious people, in this instance, a prophet, to overcome the temptations of the globe and adversity.^[2] In these cases, interpreters argue Zulaykha'due south presence in the Quran is not meant to imply the evil nature of all women, simply rather the unlike possible distractions that society in general tin can nowadays and the need to brushoff them.^[6]

Mother and sister of Moses [edit]

Moses'due south mother is the merely woman in the Quran to receive divine inspiration.^[13] God inspired her to suckle the child until she feared for his life and so to cast him into the river without sadness or fear because God would eventually restore him to her and make him one of His messengers.^[13]

"God sent an inspiration to Moses'southward mother that she should put Moses in a chest and throw the chest into the river, which would ultimately wash upwards on the shore of God'southward enemy and he would be taken in."

When the Pharaoh's wife discovered Moses on the shore, God had to strengthen Moses's mother's heart to make her a firm believer.^[13]

"And the heart of Musa'southward mother was empty she would have nearly disclosed it had We not strengthened her heart so that she might be of the believers."

And then, after Moses's sis sees that he refuses to nurse with his new nurse, she suggests that Moses'southward mother become his nursemaid. In a sense, they were reunited.^{[ commendation needed ]}

"And Nosotros had before forbidden foster-mothers for him, and then she said: Shall I prove yous a household who volition rear him for y'all and take intendance of him? So Nosotros restored him to his mother that she might exist comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is truthful. Just well-nigh of them know non."

Wife of Moses [edit]

Moses's wife called Safura was the girl of a Madyanite flockherder whom Moses met before he became a prophet. The Madyanite flockherder allowed Moses and his daughter to wed in exchange for Moses performing eight to 10 years of work.^[13]

"Said ane of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (homo) who is potent and trusty. He said: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thousand serve me for eight years; only if m complete 10 years, it volition exist (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: yard wilt detect me, indeed, if God wills, one of the righteous."

—Quran, Sura 28 (Al-Qasas), ayat 26–27 ^[k]

She is not mentioned past name in the Quran, merely some qisas al-anbiya' identify her as Zipporah.^[13] Many of the details surrounding Moses's wife have been filled in throughout history. Gimmicky Muslims see her as a righteous Muslim female because of her respect for the different gender spheres. When she first met Moses, she was getting h2o in public, merely was afraid because information technology is typically a male domain.^[14]

"And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and likewise them, he establish two women who were keeping dorsum (their flocks). He said: "What is the thing with you?" They said: "We cannot h2o (our flocks) until the shepherds have dorsum (their flocks): And our father is a very sometime human being."

—Quran, Sura 28 (Al-Qasas), ayat 23 ^[l]

Asiyah, Wife of the Pharaoh [edit]

The married woman of the Pharaoh, known in some traditions as Asiyah, played a big part in Moses's life because she became his foster female parent. She saved his life when she took him in and raised Moses from infancy in a household of not-believers while God watched over him.^[thirteen]

Of all the women in Moses's life, Pharaoh's married woman is the subject of the greatest amount of interpretive literature. There is a big amount of accent on her equally an example for the believers.^[15] Many recollect of her as a righteous woman because of her role in keeping Moses alive, as shown in Q 28:9.

"And the married woman of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Possibly he may exist of apply to usa, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not."

—Quran, Sura 28 (Al-Qasas), ayat nine ^[m]

Additionally, Asiyah is praised because in Q 66: 11, which is dated into the late Medinan period, she prayed to God to build her a business firm in paradise and save her from her wicked hubby, Pharaoh.^[2]

"And Allâh has set along an example for those who believe; the married woman of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), when she said: "My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and salve me from Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his work, and salvage me from the people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists, incorrect-doers and disbelievers in Allâh)."

—Quran, Sura 66 (At-Tahrim), ayat 11 ^[n]

Asiyah represents the ideal of virtue equally one of the iv most outstanding women of the world and one of the four "ladies of heaven" that include: Mary, the mother of Jesus; Khadija, Muhammad's wife; and Fatima, Muhammad's daughter.^[2] She married Pharaoh as a sacrifice for her people, but never consummated information technology.^[ii] She died a martyr's death subsequently the tyrannical Pharaoh had killed many of the believers in the palace and she tried to avenge their deaths.^[xvi]

Ibn Kathir, part of the medieval tradition speaks of Pharaoh'due south wife equally one of the prophet's "celestial wives". This is a supreme honor shared with the Prophet's earthly wives and Mary.^[16] Asiyah is celebrated in the Islamic faith because she remained faithful to God even though her own husband, Pharaoh, thought of himself as God. She demonstrates a woman has the ability to exercise faith and believe in God, fifty-fifty against the wishes of a harsh husband.^[14]

The Queen of Sheba (Bilqis) [edit]

The Quran speaks of the Queen of Sheba, also known as Bilqis. She was a sovereign ruler over her people who engaged in political negotiations set up in the jahiliyya catamenia. Her story takes place in Quran, surah 27 (Al-Naml): 22–44.

The hoopoe reported to Solomon of a Queen from Sheba who led her people in pagan rituals worshipping a Lord's day God instead of Allah.^[17]

"I plant (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne. ^[o] "I institute her and her people worshipping the dominicus likewise God: Satan has fabricated their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path,- so they receive no guidance,- ^[p]

Solomon wrote a letter to the Queen. The hoopoe delivered it to her palace leaving information technology on her chest while she was sleeping. And so Bilqis prepared presents for Solomon to test whether he was a "pious" or "worldly" prophet using a series of riddles.^[eighteen] The queen set up out to visit Solomon. Some say that Solomon magically moved her throne while others say that he wished for the throne and knew he had to acquire it before the Queen and her followers submitted to Allah.^[18]

She said: "Kings, when they enter a land, denude it, and brand the noblest of its people its meanest thus practice they behave. ^[q]

"But I am going to send him a present, and (wait) to meet with what (answer) return (my) ambassadors." ^[r]

And so when she arrived, she was asked, "Is this thy throne?" She said, "Information technology was but like this, and cognition was bestowed on us in advance of this, and we have submitted to God (in Islam)."^[south] }}

The Queen of Sheba submits to God with Solomon.^[xviii]

She was asked to enter the lofty Palace: but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of h2o, and she (tucked up her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds." ^[t]

Legend says that Solomon married Bilqis who and then bore him a son. Some say she returned to Yemen every bit a queen and Solomon would visit her in that location for three days a month; others say that Solomon married her off to the king of Hamadan.^[19]

Many historians have attempted to humiliate or downplay the Queen of Sheba. Historian Mas'udi (tenth Century) was convinced Bilqis could not take been fully human because she had a throne and led people.^[20] He said she had a man male parent but a jinn mother because he felt the demand to assail Bilqis and question her humanity every bit a fashion to cope with the fact that she was a woman in political ability.^[19] Additionally, to traditional Islamic interpreters, the story of the Queen of Sheba is difficult to grasp because of the way that a woman in political ability falls outside of the traditional gender role of women in guild.^[21] Classical Islamic authors shy away from addressing the question concerning the Queen of Sheba and the potential implications that it could have on female rulers.^[ii]

Bilqis remains i of the more mysterious women in the world of scholarly interpretation.^[21] Some of the chief issues that arise are how she became ruler, her competence in the part and how this can impact Islamic gild. The beautiful Sheba married a tyrannical Himyarite rex, got him drunk, cut off his caput and convinced his ministers to declare their loyalty to her.^[22] She gained her position through proximity to a male person ruler and deceived him using her female characteristics.^[2] Confronting Solomon, the Queen of Sheba demonstrates the ability to concord her own and validates her intelligence and good judgment, qualities typically reserved for men.^[2] However, her large fault is mistaking the glass for a pool and revealing her (hairy) legs, an human activity that she cannot redeem.^[2]

In contemporary terms, the story of the Queen of Sheba represents the righteousness of incorruptibility, exemplified when Solomon refused to be bribed by her elaborate gifts.^[23] The lesson that contemporaries depict is the ultimate submission to no one only God. Simply God sees all the true believers equally and the ultimate submission should be to Him and non to anyone else, whether He is a leader or a prophet.^[23]

Wife of Imran [edit]

In the Quran, the mother of the Virgin Mary (and thus Isa's grandmother) is not named in the Quran, but referred to in two passages of the narratives section as the wife of Imran, Imran existence Joachim in Christianity.^[two] In Judeo-Christian tradition she is identified equally Hannah. Co-ordinate to the Quran she invoked God for a child:^[24]

"Behold! a wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate into Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things." "When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and God knew best what she brought along- "And any no wise is the male like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from Satan, the Rejected."

—Quran, Sura three (Al Imran), ayat 35–36^[u]

It is important to note that while the name Imran is attributed to both the father of Mary and the male parent of Moses and Aaron, interpreters explicate that these two people are not to be confused.^[2] They are separated by a long time menses—1,800 years according to some sources—and are called different names. The begetter of Mary is called Imran b. Mathhan/Matan while the begetter of Moses and Aaron is called Imran B. Yashar or Imran b. Qadith.^[2]

Mary (Maryam) [edit]

Mary, the female parent of Jesus, is one of the most important women in the Quran, as she is the only one identified by name.^[vi] Maryam is described as the greatest women of all time in the Quran as well.^{[25] [26]} Her proper noun not only appears far more in the Quran than in the New Testament, just it is also the title of Sura xix, which discusses the annunciation, Jesus's birth and Jesus's commencement words, spoken before birth and in the cradle—"well-nigh other personal names used every bit titles of Quranic capacity are those of prophets."^[6] A hadith claims that Mary was consecrated to God, thus "escaping the pricking of the devil" at birth; this is said "to have played a function in the formation of the later Islamic doctrine of prophetic 'isma" (innate quality of 'impeccability', 'immunity from sin and error' of prophets).^[6]

As a young girl and a virgin, Mary stayed in the Mihrab, where she received "glad tidings of a word (kalima) from God" nigh her giving nascence to a "pure son".^[six] In Sura 19, the affections Gabriel, sent by God, says to Mary, "I am just your Lord'due south messenger, to requite you a pure male child."^[5] The Quran also states the conception of Jesus by Mary was miraculous:

"Mary the girl of Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her trunk) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants)." ^[w]

Islamic scholars take long debated this happening, specifically the meaning of "spirit" (ruh) and the "word" (kalima) that Mary received from God. If she were informed of things to come past God'due south give-and-take, fifty-fifty through his angel, and infused with God'southward spirit, was Mary, and so, a Quranic prophet?^[6] Scholars who focus on the literal meaning of the text have found proof of her prophethood, for "she differs from other Quranic women in nature and life experiences".^[14] Yet, perhaps considering of her sex, Mary's prophethood is non widely accepted.

Yet, Mary is still revered by many Muslims, mostly women, throughout the Islamic world. She is praised in the Quran: "Behold! the angels said: 'O Mary! God hath called thee and purified thee – chosen thee in a higher place the women of all nations.'"^[x]

In Sura 21:91 Mary is revealed as a sign (ayah) from God: "And she who guarded her guiltlessness. Then We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds."^[y] Sura 66 establishes Mary equally the "example for believers" considering of her chastity, obedience, and religion; still, "religious authorities accept attempted to define the social applicability of Mary'southward qualities, that is, the facets of her model status suited for emulation."^[6] When Gabriel informs her of God's plan, Mary wonders: "How tin can I have a son when no man has ever touched me, nor am I unchaste?" ^[z] Afterwards, "the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said:"Alas! I wish I had died before this, and was a thing long forgotten!"^[aa]. But she was comforted by God.^[ab]

Mary besides appears in Quran three, where she and her story are closely continued to that of her guardian, the prophet Zakariyya. The angel'due south words about the birth of John to Zakariyya (Sura 3:39) are almost identical to those on Jesus'southward (Sura iii:45). Similarly, both answer by questioning the bulletin (Sura 3:xl;47) and receive the same answer.

Wives of Muhammad [edit]

The wives of Muhammad are known to Muslims equally the "Mother of the believers", or in Arabic, umm'ul mu'mineen' , coming from a Sura 33:six:

"The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their ain selves, and his wives are their mothers."^{[27] [air-conditioning]}

While Sura four:3 limits Muslim men to having four wives, hadith maintain "that the Prophet's correct to unrestricted polygamy was a prerogative that God's sunna had extended to all prophets: a 'natural right' of His spokesmen on globe."^[half-dozen] They are mentioned in several places in the Quran, just never by proper noun, making the hadith as scripturalist interpretation about important, even so they "are not like any [other] women."^[28] Muhammad's wives play a prominent role in Islam and Muslim practices; "their reception of specific divine guidances, occasioned by their proximity to the Prophet, endows them with special dignity."^[6] They class the footing for the status of women in Islam and are thus important for gender debates and study.

Only a few "are consistently presented as key figures in the hadith accounts of contexts of specific revelations ('occasions of revelation', Asbab al-nuzul)".^[6] Stowasser states: "The Quranic legislation directed at the Prophet'south wives, and then, is entirely of Medinan provence and belongs into the terminal six or vii years of the Prophet's life."^[six] Sura 33:l outlines the lawful "categories of females" that are able to marry the Prophet: "wives with whom the Prophet contracted marriage involving a dower; female prisoners of war (slaves) who cruel to him as office of his share of spoils; both paternal and besides maternal cousins who had migrated with him to Medina; and "a believing woman, if she gives herself to the Prophet and [He] also wishes to marry her(Al-Quran 33:50)."^[6]

Except Aisha, Muhammad just married widows and divorced women.^[27] Aisha bint Abi Bakr is often thought of as the Prophet'south favorite wife. She is linked to the Quran'south injunctions against slander in Sura 24:11–26, for her involvement in "the affair of the lie [or, slander]" (al-ifk), in which she was falsely accused of "being with" another human being, Safwan ibn al-Mu'attal al-Sulami.^[6] She is considered to be the showtime adult female to choose "God and His Prophet" over "the world and its beautification".^[six] In Sura 33:28–29, God ordered Muhammad's wives to brand a determination equally to their preference, after the Prophet was annoyed by the wives' growing desire for fabric possessions.^[6] Aisha is also of import in mainstream Sunni Islam.

Muhammad'due south wives were the first women to follow the practise of veiling with a Hijab.^[6] Sura 33:53, ordinarily called the "hijab poetry," states that if "believers" want something from Muhammad'southward wives, they must ask "from backside a hijab"; it besides forbids "believers" from marrying Muhammad's wives later him.^{[6] [ad]}

Sura 33:32–34 declare that women of the prophet are not like other women and and so specifies special etiquette for them.

"O women of prophet! You lot are not similar other women; if you lot remain pious then do not be so much polite in speaking so that he who has illness in his heart make a promise and speak in recognized style. And stay in your homes, practise non evidence of your adornments like those in beginning Jahiliyya, offer Salat and zakah."

Daughters of Muhammad [edit]

The Prophet, Muhammad, had four daughters with his wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid: Zainab, Umm Kulthum, Ruqayyah, and Fatimah.

The Quran speaks of Muhammad'due south daughters in Sura 33:59.

"O Prophet! tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should draw over themselves some of their outer garments (when in public): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as decent women) and not annoyed. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." ^[ae]

The Quran refers to the daughters every bit a whole, banatika, never identifying them by name.

The woman who complained to God about her married man [edit]

The Quran speaks of The woman who complained to God nigh her husband in Sura 58 (Al-Mujadila), but non by name. Hadith provides her name, Khawlah bint Tha'labah.

"God has indeed heard (and accustomed) the statement of the adult female who pleads with thee concerning her husband and carries her complaint (in prayer) to God: and God (e'er) hears the arguments between both of you: for God hears and sees (all things)."^[af]

The verses that follow are to restore her rights (besides as those of any other woman in her position), when a husband mistreats his wife. Muslims refer to this woman and her story to express the mercy of God.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Wife of Abu Lahab [edit]

The Quran mentions the wife of Abu Lahab in Sura 111 Al-Masad, merely not by name. Hadith claims that her name is Umm Jamil bint Harb and the sis of Abu Sufyan. Information technology is said that she interrupted Muhammad and Abu Bakr praying in the Ka'ba and, unaware that the Prophet was nowadays, spoke badly of him and his religion. Therefore, the Quran describes how she will be punished, aslope her husband, in Hell for pain Muhammad.

"His wife shall carry The (crackling) wood as fuel. A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre Round her (own) neck."
