Islamic tradition praises Asiyah, Mary, Khadijah, and Fatimah as the four women who showed monumental examples of excellence in faith. While Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur’an, the other three are mentioned in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

Asiyah was the wife of Pharaoh and she was the one who protected Moses in the palace from the wrath of her furious husband. Mary is the epitome of purity and submission, who was miraculously blessed with Jesus, and she stood firm against all kinds of slanders and accusations. Khadijah was the first believer in the Prophet Muhammad.

She spent all her fortune in her husband’s cause, including her life. Fatimah, the Prophet’s daughter, is the person through whom the Prophet’s generation still continues. This book depicts the lives of these four remarkable women of human history.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn Abbas said: "The Messenger of God drew four lines on the ground and said, 'Do you know what these lines represent? The best among the women of Paradise are Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Fatima bint Muhammad, Maryam bint Imran, and Asiya bint Muzahim.'"

Asiya: The daughter of Muzahim, wife of the Pharaoh 
Mary: The virgin mother of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him 
Khadija: The first wife of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him 
Fatima: The fifth child of Prophet Muhammad and Khadija

God has promised the highest level of Paradise to these women.

The truth, wisdom, and lessons to be learned in these stories are from AllMighty God, and any mistake or shortcomings is from myself.

I have known suffering and adversity in my life, so it has been a great honor to translate the stories of these great mothers in Islam for you.
