The Four Complete Women (ePub)

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) drew four lines on the ground and asked his companions if they understood what these lines stood for. They respectfully replied that he knew better. He then told them that these lines stood for the four foremost ladies of the universe. They were Khadijah bint Khawaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint Imran, the mother of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), and 'Asiya bint Mazahim (Pharaoh's wife).

There is a whole surah (chapter) in the Quran called An Nisa'a (The Women). Surah An Nisa'a is also one of the longer surahs in the Quran. Women are not half or quarter of the society, but they are the whole society because they take care of their children and their husband. A house will be paradise when the woman is righteous and a house is hell when the woman is not, and this shows that the stability of the house depends on the woman, subhan-Allaah (Glory be to Allaah).

Alhamdulillaah (praise be to Allaah) that our Creator is Allaah and Alhamdulillaah He is Rabb Al-'Aalameen (the Lord of the Worlds). He nourishes us and this is an opening from Allaah (the Almighty) to nourish us through knowledge and to teach us about the four complete women.

Beautiful notes from a lecture, prepared by a sister greatly helped in writing this beautiful book about these four greatest and most complete women that ever lived in this world.
