Description Dr. A jadeeda’s work systematically rebuilds the life and career of Khadija, Aisha, Zaynab, Ummu Aiman and Fatima the representatives of the eminent female Sahaba who were best associates, family builders and social leaders of Prophet Muhammad’s time. As an author Dr. Jadeeda has done justice to the five female personalities who participated in the shaping of the philosophic foundation and religious formulation of the prophatic Mission. The sources for the author to trace these biographical accounts are the Holy Quran, the corpus of biographical literature and the Hadiths left by Imam Muslim and Imam Bukhari and others. The lucid style and clear expression and the narrative talents of the author are commendable. In perceiving women, Prophet Muhammad(570-632C.E) stands out among all the apostles and Prophets. He found women endearing and supportive. He treated them as more than equals; he never hesitated to proclaim to the world the indebtedness that he owed to them. As the pure life spring of the desert he exemplified human qualities while championing spiritual values. Related
