Brave Women In Islam By: Maimoonah Gori

There are many woman heroes in ISLAM. I have chosen a few women, who have made a great contribution to the establishment of our religion.
It is important for us to know that woman played a leading role during the time of the Prophet . These women can be seppies heroes and role models for our youth today. These women gave do their wealth, and preferred leading simple lives, as they knew that there was a better life in the hereafter. They took part in the battles and were not afraid of becoming martyrs. They were also very pious and made sure they lived according to the teachings of the Prophet
These true stories should be read to children and they must be reminded that we have a beautiful history. These stories should be read in every Muslim home, insha-allah.
