From the rich Islamic heritage, true and inspiring stories of the blessed women companions and their great roles are included within this book. The book provides a lively introduction to early Muslim history and inspiring models for Muslim values, attitudes and behaviour.
The trials and triumphs of the Muslims as individual women are well-portrayed. Their various paths to Islam - sometimes direct, sometimes long and tortuous, their devotion to the noble Prophet Peace be upon him, their hope in God and in the life to come, their endeavours in peace and in times of hardship and struggle - all serve to cast them in a heroic mould.
The Sahabiyats along side the male companions of the Prophet helped to lay the foundations of a new world order and it thus is most fitting that they should be more widely known. The book is based on original Arabic sources and contemporary writing on early Muslim history.
