الحمدالله
Started off with this in the month of Ramadan, very educational as a start to those who want to learn more, im currently studying Islamic history as a hobby and I use an app called archives to help, this in detail is very helpful.
‏سبحان الله, I can’t express how good it is to read this book honestly - educational and inspiring as they are our role models, big debate on modern day hijabi figures being role models when actually we should focus on the most fundamental role models in Islam as muslimahs.

A nice account of the Holy daughters of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, while some things I don’t know if are true or not which is why it’s 4 and not 5 stars, the book does a nice job of providing insight into the character of these exemplary women (ra). This also provides a reminder as to how much our Holy Prophet SAW had to endure, having to bury 5 of his children, 2 of his uncles, and his beloved wife Khadijah (ra). Whilst also dealing with the constant threat from the Quraish who physically assaulted him and his followers whenever able, both with stones and insults as well as a boycott of doing any business with him. Despite all the strife, loss, pain, agony, anxiety, and hardship he (SAW) persevered and endured by the Will of Allah. No one in history has suffered more than he, and yet he maintained himself and his character for the sake of Allah. One quote that really strikes the heart is “She broke down and started weeping bitterly. She was so much upset that she had forgotten to cover her head or button her shirt. She handed over the cup of water to her loving father. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said to her, “My dear, have patience and button up your shirt. You need not worry for your father, if he is molested or rebuked for the sake of Allah.” The young girl being Zainab (ra) at the age of 8, witnessing her beloved father (SAW) face stones and dust to the face as well as insults to his character and intelligence. Yet, he (SAW) maintained himself and comforted his loving daughter in a very cute and heart warming moment between the two that can bring even the toughest hearts to tears. May Allah SWT elevate Zainab (ra), Ruqaiyyah (ra), Umm Khulthum (ra), and Fatimah Zahra (ra) into the highest levels of Jannah inshallah, and their graves full of the beautiful aromas and fragrances of heaven. Ameen.
