This book presents the stories of a group of exemplary Muslim heroines. Living in the company of Prophet Muhammad, they experienced the dark Age of Ignorance and were fortunate to be bathed in the sunshine and rain of Islam. Through real stories full of wisdom or emotion, the book showcases the life images and spiritual outlooks of that generation of women, interprets the true value that Islam endows to women, and demonstrates that women enjoy a lofty status and rights in Islam. The book's content includes nine categories of outstanding female models, covering various fields and both war - torn and peaceful times. Among them are the most loving mothers, the most considerate wives, outstanding girls, understanding sisters, loyal female vow - takers, female emigrants who dedicated themselves to the path of Allah, female warriors who redeemed themselves for the faith, female doctors who saved lives, and erudite female scholars. Each category of models tells the stories of six representatives. The images of noble wives of the Prophet, daughters of the Prophet, and female companions of the Prophet come vividly to life. Their struggling figures can be seen in every important field, and their voices can be heard at every crucial moment. Who are you? And who is she? This book will tell you how to stand out among your peers and make your life shine.
