Women of Excellence in the time of the Prophet ﷺ

In the age of individualism and celebrity, Talib Hashimi's thorough and comprehensive directory of more than 260 female Companions is an enlightening and timely bridge to a world of excellence. Among them, we find fearless martyrs, truthful businesswomen, erudite scholars, articulate poets, brave defenders of the Prophet ﷺ, generous neighbours and devoted mothers and daughters, may Allah be pleased with them all. The guidance of the Prophet ﷺ reigned supreme in their lives, no matter the personal cost to their health, wealth and even lives. They lived this life, as travellers, seeking a glorious final abode. These pages are rich in lessons for all those seeking to follow the straight path and will provoke deep spiritual introspection into our own relationships with Allah and His Messenger ﷺ
