Muslim women have always played a vital role in the Muslim community, and not only in traditional roles. Early Muslim women served the community through scholarship, teaching, nursing, and other important activities.

Hawwa the mother of the Prophets, Sara, Hajar, Umm Musa, Maryam, the wives & daughters of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and many prominent sahabiyat.

Far from being downtrodden, meek slaves to the men in their lives, these women served Allah and their community with bravery and wisdom. Muslim women look to them as role models, may Allah be pleased with them all.
Hadhrat Anas (R.A.) said that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The best women of mankind are four: Maryam, daughter of Imran, Assiya wife of Pharaoh, Khadija daughter of Khuwailid, and Fatima daughter of the Messenger of Allah.” – (Bukhari & Muslim)
