Contribution of Women in Spreading the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (saw)



When an individual creates knowledge and a sense to address, he is confronted with innumerable questions in regards to himself and the climate around him, the most significant being, "Who am I?… ..Who made me?… … What is the reality of everything around me and how could it be made? Whose capable workmanship is this? The general public and the climate say that this was made by 'Allah. Who is Allah? How is He? Where right? How would we remember Him? How would we contact Him? What is the confirmation that He truly does exist? An individual is astounded when he attempts to respond to these inquiries and in the end when all thinking fizzles, in this condition of absolute misery, human instinct requirements a tutor who might assist him with perceiving his Creator, and assist him with accepting his own reality. So his Most Merciful Creator doesn't surrender him, and to satisfy his need, sends a being who assists him with disposing of his dumbfounded state, familiarizes him with his Creator, and saves him from getting sidetracked. 


Rasul Allah (SAW) is that being, that character, who acclimates the made with their Creator as well as informs them with the last's preferences. As a part of his character we track down a living illustration of Allah's message, and an astounding reasonable illustration of the satisfaction of His orders. In his lessons do we discover methods of physical and profound sanitization; and we gain from his lessons that man's everlasting achievement or misfortune relies upon his confidence in Allah. 

We comply and follow the Prophet (SAW) and Allah will cherish us; we answer his call and that will be a methods for life for us; defiance to the Prophet (SAW) will bring about rejection from heaven and disobedience will bring about getting trapped in struggle and strife and be the reason for Allah's anger. It is fundamental for each man and lady to submit to his orders and acknowledge his choices with unadulterated earnestness; there is no subsequent choice. 


The Prophet (SAW) was sent on this planet as a Messenger, as an aide who showed humanity the correct way. the Divine Message that he passed on is for all environments. Not exclusively were individuals who put stock in him in his time, were relied upon to submit to him unequivocally, yet this law holds for the coming ages too, till the Day of Judgment. 


This is the reason the way to salvation isn't simply in after the Quran, yet the Prophet's (SAW) Sunnah¹ too. For all occasions, the section into Islam isn't simply with (la ilaha illallah— - arabic) however with (Arabic— – Muhammad dur rasul Allah) also. 


Individuals of Prophet's (SAW's) time understood the significance of this reality and promptly regarded to his call (balligho unee— – arabic)("spread my message despite the fact that its one ayah") by communicating his message of direction to the coming ages. The Prophet (SAW) proclaimed that it was compulsory for each man and lady to look for information, and in this way of information, if the searcher kicked the bucket, he would be a saint. Significance of both the educator and the understudy was featured, and it was expressed that the instructor's position was something to be begrudged, and the student was given the happy greetings of heaven.

 A researcher was given priority over an admirer, the ink of a researcher's pen was given priority over a saint's blood, and researchers were known as the beneficiaries of the prophets and a unique supplication of kindness was performed for somebody who learns, however passes on to others too. Moms of the Believers were uniquely educated to gain proficiency with the Prophet's (SAW) ahadith (expressions), alongside the Quranic lessons. 


In the wake of getting mindful of the significance of securing information, and the meaning of learning and communicating the ahadith of the Prophet (SAW), men, yet ladies likewise began to satisfy this obligation. Uncommon courses of action were made to incorporate the Prophet(SAW's) lessons in the training prospectus, other than the Quran, and this turned into a training since the beginning. So one can't figure out a period in time where alongside the men, ladies didn't do this duty with due enthusiasm. 

Truth be told a few ladies made such achievements that men additionally took up apprenticeship with them. Ladies set up such exclusive expectations of genuineness in the portrayal of hadith that in the book 'meezan al aitadal' of 'ilm jarah o tadeel', the compiler Alzahbi acclaims the commitment of these ladies in these words, 'till today, I have not gone over a lady whose portrayal was dubious or dismissed.'


During the Prophet(SAW's) age, the moms of the devotees were asked in regards to ladies' issues; they were additionally drawn closer for subtleties worried about the Prophet(SAW's) own life after he died. Who else might have been a superior educator with respect to issue identifying with the Prophet's(SAW) individual life after him, than his spouses. 


The educational commitments of the moms of the adherents, including Hafza (r.a), Umm Habiba (r.a), Maimona (r.a), Umm Salmah(r.a), and Ayesha (r.a), are not stowed away from anybody; uniquely the administrations of Ayesha (r.a) can't be neglected. Throughout the entire existence of Islam, no other lady can rise to Ayesha (r.a) in her endeavors for the advancement of the Prophet's (SAW) lessons. She is one of only a handful few friends whose portrayal of ahadith surpasses 2000 in number and she was a wellspring of instruction for almost 50 years after the Prophet(SAW's) passing. 


In this cycle of granting and learning of information, other woman mates of the Prophet (SAW) likewise left models that can be copied. In this unique situation, the names of Umm e Qais, Umm ul Fazl bint Harith, Fatima bint Qais, Umm e Atiah, Umm e Haani, Asma bint Abu bakr (r.a), Asma bint Amees and Asma bint Yazeed merit referencing, whose number of ahadith that they have described are, 22,30,34,40,46,58,60 and 81 individually. 

Other than these, Busra container Safwan, Umm Sabeeha Khola Aljuhniyah, Umm ul Hussain al Ahmasiyah, Umm e Jundub al Azdiyah, Umm al Hakeem al Khazaiyah, Sara'a bint Nabhaan, Zareena, Khulaidah bint Qais, Khateebah al Nisa ,Asma bint Yazeed and Khansa al Ansariyah (r.a) are among the ones who straightforwardly described ahadith from Prophet (SAW). 


History has seen that the ones who were regarded by advancing the Prophet(SAW's) lessons, had a place with free and decent families just as slaves The chaperons of the Prophet (SAW), Rozina and Maria likewise had the pleasure of describing ahadith. Other prominent names in this class incorporate Maimona bint Saeed, Umaima Mola² Rasul who were storytellers of hadith too. Other than these, Barirah and Umm e Ulqama (Mola Ayesha (r.a)), Khaira Umm ul Hassan al Basry (mola Umm e Salmah), Nadbah (mola Maimoona (r.a), Mother of the Believers), Zarra and Nadbah (mola ibn Abbas (r.a)), Bananah (mola Abdar Rahman al Ansari (r.a)) and Laila (mola Umm Ammarah al Ansariyah). 


During the age of the Taba'een³ , various ladies got well known because of their instructive accomplishments; Ibn Sa'ad,4 alone, has expounded on in excess of 60 ladies who were participating chasing after information among them, Hafza bint Sireen being quite possibly the most celebrated researchers of hadeeth of her time. At the point when Hassan Basary and Ibn e Sireen were referenced before Iyaas canister Muaawiyah, he straightforwardly expressed that as he would see it, nobody outperformed Hafza bint Sireen. Another woman having a place with this class is the celebrated Umm e Darda al Sughra, whose understudies incorporate recognized taba'eens, for example, Abu Qalaabah, R'jaa container Haiwah Makhool and Zaid receptacle Aslam. 


Ayesha (r.a's) exceptional understudy, Umrah bint Abd ar Rahman who needs no presentation, knew the biggest number of ahdith described by the previous. One of her understudies, Abu Bakr container Hazm was uniquely requested by Omar receptacle Abdul Aziz to incorporate all the ahadith that Umrah was capable in and carefully recorded them. Alluding to her, Imam Ibn e Shahab al Zohry disclosed to Qasim canister Mohammad, 'I see you hungry for information so shouldn't I direct you to its prize? Go to Umrah on the off chance that you need to gain information.' Qasim container Mohammad says that I discovered Umrah to be an ocean of information that won't ever evaporate. 


Jawabnah al Musayyab was the name that the acclaimed taba'ee Saeed canister al Musayyab's girl was known from. Prior to their marriage, her significant other used to go to her dad's talks. On the following day after her marriage, her significant other prepared to go to Saeed canister al Musayyab's class, when Jawabnah advised him to stay at home, since she could likewise grant the very information to him that her dad could. 


In the later ages, i.e, the third century, some outstanding names are: Abida al Madinah, Umm e Omar as Thaqfiah, Zainab bint Sulaiman, Nafisa receptacle Hassan container Zaid, Khadija Umm e Mohammad, Abdah bint e Abdar Rahman, Abbasah, Imam Ahmad canister Hanbal's better half, and different ladies also, who gave formal talks on Rasulallah's (SAW) ahadith, and extraordinary Muhadditheen went to these talks. Abida, who was an African slave, however had a skill in relating ahadith was talented to Habib canister as Walid al Dahoon al Undalasi by her proprietor, Mohammad receptacle Yazeed. Her new expert was so intrigued by her insight that he liberated her and wedded her and took her to Undalas (Spain) with him. In Spain, Abida related 10,000 ahadith on the authority of Imam Malik container Anas and a few different Madni researchers; subsequently she turned into the wellspring of the spread of the Prophet's (SAW) lessons in Europe. Another such remarkable woman was Zainab bint Sulayman who was a princess. Her dad was the Governor of Basra and Spain during the standard of Al Mansoor. She was likewise extremely inspired by ahadith and had gained a great deal of information in this unique situation. Well known muhaditheen related ahadith on her position. Nafisa who had a place with ahl e lure, was another woman who dominated in this field, and even Imam Shafaee paid attention to her relating the ahadith. 


At the point when the altering of hadith started and hadith books opened up, the pattern of the ladies additionally changed towards the tuning in and relating of these books. They participated in addressing on them and individuals from varying backgrounds profited. Karima tul Maroozia is a main name in this specific situation. 


Incredible researchers who related the ahadith of Sahih Bukhari, as Abu Bakr al Khateeb al Baghdadi, ventured out from Baghdad to Makkah to pay attention to Karima relating Sahih Bukhari. Abu Bakr container Mansoor al Asma'aani states " My dad was exceptionally dazzled with Karima's instructive capabililties, and used to say that I have not seen anybody like her". Indeed, even the orientalist, Goldzheir expounds on the huge measure of Karima's 'consents5' to relate the ahadith of Sahih Bukhari. 


Ladies other than Karima, unmistakable in relating ahadith of Bukhari and other hadith books incorporate Musnadah al Quwatt sat al wizra bint Umar who educated in Damascus and Egypt for a significant stretch of time and who was likewise well known for relating of ahadith of Bukhari. Umm al Khair umm al Khaliq was the last relator of Sahih Bukhari in Madrassa e Hijaz. Another significant name is of Ayesha bint Abdul Hadi, who stood firm on an exceptional footing in the instructing of Bukhari. 


In addition to the fact that they related and address on the ahadith of Bukahri ladies additionally dealt with other popular hadith books; Umm al Khair Fatima bint Ali al Baghdadiyah's name merits referencing who was a well known relator of her time, of the ahadith of Sahih Muslim. Fatima al Jawz Daniyah used to relate ahadith of Maujam al Tabarani. Zainab bint al Makki al Harani lived for a very long time; she related the ahadith of Musnad Ahmed, and hordes of understudies consistently accumulated around her. Ibne Nuqta, has referenced 10 such ladies, in his book "al Taqeed ul Ma'arfa Rawayah al Sunan wal Masaneed", who were popular in the relating of ahadith in their occasions. 


In the fourth century, Fatima bint abd Arrahman al Haraaniyah umm Mohammad, Umm Salmah Fatimah (the granddaughter of Imam Abu Dawood al Sajastani, the compiler of Sunan Abu Dawood), Umma tul Wahid bint Abi Abd Allah al Mahamly, Umm al Fath al Islam bint Qazi Ahmed container Kamil al Baghdadiyah, Jumuah bint Ahmed al Mahiyah, Fatimah bint Halal, and Tahira bint Ahmed al Tanwakhiyah are names worth referencing, who achieved a skill in the information on hadith and left endless impacts on incalculable individuals who used to go to their talks. 


In the fifth century, little girl of the renowned Sufi Hassan canister Ali al Duqaq and spouse of Abul Qasim al Qashiry, Fatimah, got acclaimed for getting Sannad e aali (serious level) she used to relate ahadith on the authority of Abu Naeem al Asfaraainy and Hakim Neshapury. Other notable names were Khadija bint Mohammad al Shahjahaniyah, Satita bint al Qazi ibn abi Amr, Khadija bint al Baqal and Jabrah as Sawdah. 


In the 6th century, Fatimah bint Mohammad – Musnada e Isfahan, Umm ul Khair Fatimah bint Ali – Musnada e Khurasan, Musnada ul Waqt – Fatimah al Jawziyah, Fakhar un nisa Khadija bint Mohammad, Tajni bint Abd Allah and Shahdah bint Ahmed – Musnadah al Arq are popular for 'sanad e aali'. Shahdah, who was given the title of 'Fakhrun nisa', used to have huge get-togethers of understudies on her talks, and on account of her esteemed degree and notoriety, individuals wrongly showed themselves as her understudies .Zaki al Din al Barzali incorporated her "Mushaikha" in 8 volumes. 


Muhadatheen of all occasions have trusted in voyaging long and attempting distances for gaining the information on hadith and getting 'sanad e aali'. Despite the fact that the offices accessible for voyaging today were absent around then, ladies didn't stop for a second and confronted all impediments in this way. Umm e Mohammad Zainab bint Ahmed al Muqaddasi 6 (passed on 722 years after hijrah) ventured out to Egypt from Palestine, and afterward Syria and Madinah. During this time she got hadith instruction from prestigious researchers and when in the end she obtained the authorization to relate hadith, and began addressing, understudies used to go from distant spots to pay attention to her.

Fatimah bint Sa'ad al Khair was brought into the world in Isfahan however made a trip right to Egypt to acquire information with respect to ahadith. Sut ul Khutbaa bint Taqi ud Din al Subki (kicked the bucket 773 years after hijrah) headed out to Egypt and Damascus, Umm e AbdAllah Zainab bint Ahmed al Kamal al Muqaddasiyah (passed on 740 years after hijrah) made a trip to Baghdad, Mardin, Syria, Alexandria, and Cairo, for this reason, and in transit paid attention to extraordinary researchers, and related numerous hadith books herself too. 


Baai khatoon, a well known muhadditha of the 10th century used to address in Egypt and Syria and recognized researchers used to go to them. She was known as Ayesha bint Ibrahim Jawabnah al Sharahi, and subsequent to acquiring an ability in this field, she kept on giving talks in Egypt, Syria and Balbuk and so forth 


The addressing and showing exercises of these ladies were not restricted to a couple of individuals on a private level, however they used to instruct in madaris (instructive foundations) too, where individuals from varying backgrounds used to go to their talks. Ayesha bint Mohammad al Haraaniyah (736hijrah) used to make money by sewing garments and doing weaving. As indicated by bountiful records accessible today, she held an exceptional spot in relating a few pieces of ahadith (ajzai hadith). 


While going in Damascus during 726 hijrah, Ibn e Batuta paid attention to her hadith address in the Bani Umaiyyah University. Another woman Umm al Khair al Hijaziah was set on the regarded seat of instructing in Egyptian college of Amr canister al Aas. 


During my mission for information in Turkey, Egypt and Syria, I went over a few letters (makhtootat) whose seal of sanad e sama'a (Certificate of going to the hadith meetings) shows that an enormous number of people went to these talks that occurred in various madaris. Ladies additionally held hadith social occasions around there. A woman named Umm e Abd Allah after showing Ibn al Bukhari's mushaikha, composed an explanation on its page number 250 which shows that she showed this book in a consolidated class of 50 men and women7. 


In the seventh century after hijrah, ladies' enthusiasm chasing Rasulallah(SAW's) lessons didn't diminish and they kept by the strategy for the day, wherein sama'a (taking care of) hadith addresses, relating hadith and procuring authorization to relate them was a main concern. Musnada e Khurasan al Shariyah was one such acclaimed woman of that time whose dying brought about the end of the sanad e aali. Ayesha bint Moammar al Asbahaniyah was well known for relating ahadith from Musnad Abi Yaa'li and the eminent muhadith Ibn e Nuqta was one of her understudies. Musnada e Syria was additionally a woman with unmistakable characteristics who had the consent of relating hadith from eminent researchers and she was never exhausted of relating hadith. Zainab al Makki consistently had hordes of understudies assembled outside her entryway. Another unique woman was Shamiah ummatul Haque who related "ajza e hadith"(parts of hadith?) and Ujaiba bint Mohammad al Baghdadiyah accumulated her mushaikha in 10 volumes. 


A few names of ladies can likewise be found in such manner, in the eighth and ninth hundreds of years too, an observer to the way that the Prophet (saw's) lessons actually held a position of significance among them. Ibn e Hajar in his book 'al darar al kaamnah composes the names of 170 ladies, who fostered this field with their determination and energy. Goldzheir is likewise astonished at the interest displayed by countless ladies. Perusing short life accounts of these ladies, one discovers that Ibn e Hajar and countless his peers and their educators and understudies, all went to the hadith talks of these women. 


Considering the historical backdrop of the eighth century, an intriguing reality that arises, is that the well known Huffaaz of these occasions, Muhadditheen, little girls of researchers and other relatives, were totally associated with serving hadith. The wealth in this century can't be found in some other time of history. A few names worth referencing in this setting are: Isma bint Mohammad Abi al Mowaahib ibn Hasry, Ummatul Aziz bint al Zahbi, Fatima bint al Barzali, Isma bint Khalil canister Kaiklady al Alaai, Ruqaiyya bint ibn Daqeeq al Eed, Zainab bint Ibn Qadamah al Muqaddasi, Zainab bint ibn Jama'ah al Kanaani, Umm al Baha Zainab bint Ibn al Ajmee, Sat ul Na'am bint al Allama Najam ud racket al Harani, Sat ul Wuzra bint Umar ibn Amanja satiah Taqi ud commotion al Subki, Satiah bint Najm ud clamor al Dimiyati, Ayesha bint Ibraheem (Hafiz al Mazi's significant other), Ayesha bint AbdAllah (Mohib promotion noise al Tabri's granddaughter), Lawzah bint AbdAllah (molah Ibn Daqeeq al Eed), Sat ar Rakab (Ali ibn Hijr's sister), and Zainab bint AbdAllah Taqi ud racket (Ibn Taymiyah's neice).

It was not just ladies who profited with the instructive capacities of these ladies however men additionally acquired from them in all periods. The educating of Ayesha (r.a) to the Companions of the Prophet (SAW) is known to all, and this conferring of information proceeded in later occasions also. The names of Umrah and Karimah al Maroziah have been referenced before as to the endless number of individuals who went to their hadith addresses. The compiler of the historical backdrop of Damascus, Ibn Asaakar makes reference to 80 ladies in his 'mushaikha' from whom he took addresses on hadith. Abu Tahir as Salfi in his books 'Mushaikha al baghdadiyah', 'Maujam as Safar' and 'Mushaikha al asbahaniyah', and Abu Sa'ad al Sama'ani in his book 'al Khabir fi al Maujam al Kabir', makes reference to around a few women whom they think about their 'shayookh'(teachers) from whom they either paid attention to hadith or got authorization to relate. Ibn Khulqaan, the compiler of 'Wafiat ul A'ayaan' was an understudy of Zainab al Sha'ary ( 524 hijrah). Despite the fact that Ibn e Batuta was not a Muhadith, in his energy to obtain the information on hadith, he went to talks of different people, particularly Zainab bint Ahmad al Kamal (710 hijrah). The celebrated Muhadith of the ninth century, Afeef advertisement racket Junaid went to Fatima bint Ahmad container Qasim's talks of Sunan promotion Darmi. Nafisa bint Ibraheem was an educator of Barzaali and Zahbi and Haafiz al Iraaqi and al Haithmi were understudies of sat al Karb bint Mohammad al Bukhari. 


Abd ar Rahman al Sakhawi(897hijrah)writes about the Muhadithaat in his acclaimed book 'Az Zu al Lama'a. The last volume of this book is totally devoted to ladies, greater part of who were associated with hadith in some way. An 'Record of Shayookh' was composed by Abd al Aziz Umar container Fahad (881years after hijrah) in which out of 1100 shayookh, 130 are ladies, from whom he profited in hadith and different sciences. 


The measure of ladies working for the spread of the Prophet Muhammad (saw's) lessons during the ninth century is impressively bigger than in some other period, so reference to the celebrated ladies of this period will likewise be extensive. Here, for example, I will specify just a single educator of Sakhawi and Ibn Hajar; Umm Haani Maryam bint Abd ar Rahman al Hooreeniyah (871AH). Aside from having a skill in writing, verse and calligraphy, she was a Haafiz e Quran and was capable in different other Islamic sciences too. She had the chance of getting instruction in hadith in Cairo and Makkah. Other than giving talks on hadith, she gave out authorizations of relating hadith also. Another unmistakable name is of Maryam bint al Athra'eey who is viewed as an expert in this field. The bounty of her instructors can be discovered from the way that Ibn Hajar arranged their Index, and the measure of her understudies also is innumerable. 


Subsequent to perusing the books 'Al e'ed', history of Rusi 'Alnoor al musaafir, Mahyi's 'Khulaasa al Akhbaar' and Mohammad receptacle AbdAllah al Najdi's 'Al Sahab al Waabilah', all expounded on, the 'rijal e hadith'(Men who the information with respect to Narators of Ahadith readily available) of the tenth, eleventh and afterward the twelfth hundreds of years, it becomes obvious that the pattern of ladies diminished in this field. The names of just 10 or 12 woman Muhaditheen can be found in these books However, it is inappropriate to infer that interest in hadith among the women turned out to be absolutely wiped out. 


The last connection in this arrangement was Fatima al Fuzailiyah (1247 AH), who was brought into the world in the later long stretches of the twelfth century. She was a specialist calligraphist and duplicated numerous books with her own hands. She was exceptionally intrigued by hadith, took authorization from numerous researchers, and got popular as a Muhadithah. 


The fundamental justification the ladies to be abandoned in this field is the low proportion in the pace of instruction, for the most part among the Muslim Ummah, and particularly among the ladies. Be that as it may, the advancement occurring in this century is promising. Patterns are creating for the exploration and distribution of the 'makhtootat e hadith'of hadith books and specialization in hadith too. In the field of exploration, Bint al Shaaty and Ayesha Abdar Rahman of Egypt, Munirah Naaji and Bahijah al Hasni of Iraq, Sakinah al Shahabi of Syria and Jamilah Shaukat of Pakistan are unmistakable names. Iraq's Khadijah al Hadlithi's book 'Mauqaf alnaha min al Ahtajaj bil Hadith al shareef' is additionally an astounding model. 


In the strict training organizations of Muslim nations, just as a couple of nations where Muslims are a minority, ladies are effectively taking an interest in securing and spreading the Prophet Muhammad (saw's) lessons. Other than the hadith addresses in the Islamic investigations branches of various colleges, the inception of the division of hadith and tafseer on the alumni level, extraordinarily for ladies in the International Islamic University of Islamabad, is a significant progression. 


The need of the day is that ladies face the difficulties of the current age and set such splendid instances of their insight and practice, which restores the acts of their ancestors, but on the other hand can return the lost situation of the Muslim ummah, which is unimaginable without the appropriate information, proliferation and practice of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw).
