The Prophetic Era: Women About Whom the Qur'an Was Revealed

In this class, we explore four of the women companions about whose situations verses of the Qur'an were revealed. These situations mostly involve marriage and inheritance rights, and show us the complete faith, trust and certainty that these women had in their knowledge that Allah SWT and HIs Rasool SAWS would judge for them with nothing but all-encompassing mercy and justice.

As women seeking to be on the Straight Path, we take a few moments to reflect on ourselves and where we stand regarding our faith and trust and certainty in the mercy and justice established in the Qur'an. Do we have the same approach as the female companions or not? What is preventing us from having the same outlook and attachment? What do we need to rid ourselves of in order to have a pure and sincere connection to and love for our Sacred Book and the universal justice that it established?
