Remember: when the first revelation came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), to whom did he go for advice? He did not go to his uncle or friends, he went straight to Khadijah, to his wife, the mother of the faithful (may Allah be pleased with her). It was also pleasing to Allah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the last day of his life in the room of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Thus, the beginning and end of the prophecy of the Beloved of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed with a woman.
There is no doubt that Allah Almighty has assigned a woman a huge role in this world. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her her due place and endowed her with great rights.
The attitude of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) towards women
It is known that women and men often came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him questions. So, once a group of women came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they began to ask him many questions, and quite loudly. At that time, Umar Ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came. Asking permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to enter, he entered. When the women heard the voice of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), they immediately hid and fell silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed at this. Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: “Why are you laughing, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Because of these women. They spoke so loudly and asked me so many questions, and when you came they hid and were silent.”
Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) got angry and said: You are your own enemies, you fear me more than the Messenger of Allah! » Some women asked permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to answer Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved. One of the women said: Yes, because you are rough and harsh, but the Messenger of Allah is merciful and gentle ". The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled.
This incident from the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) testifies that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received women and answered their questions when they came individually or collectively.
The attitude of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the talents of a woman and her education
During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the most famous surgeon was a woman named Ummu Atiyya (may Allah be pleased with her). She is a well-known supporter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took her with him on campaigns to help the wounded and sick.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid great attention to the talents of women, especially when it came to education. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the companion of ash-Shifa (may Allah be pleased with her) to teach his wife Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). In addition, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) paid attention to the training of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). So, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) transmitted more than two thousand hadiths. Mrs. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was well versed in matters of Islamic law. People turned to her on matters of religion. Naturally, all this is due to the instructions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who paid special attention to his wives.
Once, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was surrounded by his companions, a woman came, known for her evil and sharp tongue. At that moment, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions were taking food. She asked for food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to treat her, but she replied that she wanted what was in the mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He gave it to her, after which she became the most faithful woman of Medina.
The attitude of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) towards the demands of women
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave women the opportunity to pray in mosques, including the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Do not forbid the slave girls of Allah to visit mosques." When women began to visit the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there were so many of them that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered to make a separate door for women, which has survived to this day. This door is called “the door for women”. In the mosque, women gathered after prayer, listened to his sermons and studied.
A companion named Ummu Waraqa (may Allah be pleased with her) was already an elderly woman, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) often visited her. She was also called Shahid. Once she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform a collective prayer in her house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a muezzin to call for prayer, so that women would come to her house and perform a collective prayer.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave great importance women's requests.
Helping women in difficult times
A woman is by nature soft, merciful, compassionate. This is what makes her different from a man.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it possible for women to actively help men in difficult times. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Medina was preparing the ranks of Muslims for the march to Tabuk, after the holiday prayer, after reading a sermon to the companions, he turned to women and read a sermon on the importance of charity. After the sermon, the women gave away their jewels and ornaments. Thanks to this support of women, a lot of money has accumulated. These days, in charitable causes, women also respond first, and this is very commendable.
During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), women took an active part in many important political and public affairs. Women also swore allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and on this occasion, the Almighty sent down some verses from the Koran.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it easier for a woman to go to paradise, for this the Almighty created certain conditions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If a woman performed her five times prayer, kept her fast (in the month of Ramadan), kept her chastity and obeyed her husband, she will be told:“ Enter heaven through which gate you desire! ”»
The concern for women on the part of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was constant. Even at the moment of death, His last testament was this: I bequeath you to treat women well ". Such care of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for women increases our love for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and also encourages men to treat women well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a real example of how to take care of women.
The example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in dealing with women is just one of the many aspects of relationships between people. We must follow the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as well as the words of the Almighty: “Say (O Muhammad):“ If you love Allah then follow me and then Allah will love you ”” (Sura “Alu Imran”, verse 31).
Transcript of the sermon Muhammad as-Saqaf
(ﷺ) predicted in hadith a series of events that happened in the past and will happen in the future. He knew all the answers to questions, and when you start reading the authentic hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, you are surprised how clearly and clearly the Prophet spoke. But do not be surprised at this, because Muhammad (ﷺ) is the messenger of the Almighty, to whom the Creator gave knowledge to convey to us. The prophet said:
“Whoever saves forty hadiths for my Ummah, they will say on the Day of Judgment: “Enter Paradise from whichever gate you wish.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) are the second authentic and undeniable source of the Islamic creed. The first is the Quran. The main difference between hadith and the Qur'an is that a hadith is just an element Divine revelation while the Quran is the Eternal Word of God. In the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) we find great knowledge that puts us on the right path and helps to understand many life situations.
Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) about women, family, mother, prayer, death and life
“The husband who puts up with the hard character of his wife, Allah will give as much reward as Ayub, peace be upon him, received for his steadfastness in relation to passion. And the wife who puts up with the difficult character of her husband will be rewarded in the same way as Asiya, who was present at the marriage of Pharaoh (Firaun).”
“If you eat yourself, then feed her too, if you buy clothes for yourself, then buy her too! Do not hit her in the face, do not call her names, and after a quarrel, do not leave her alone in the house.
“Clothed and at the same time naked, swaying while walking and thus seducing men, women will not enter Paradise, and will not even inhale its fragrance.”

“Pregnant, giving birth, women who are merciful to children, if they obey their husband and fulfill the prayer, they will certainly enter Paradise.”
“A righteous wife of a righteous husband is like a crown adorned with gold on the head of a king. A sinful wife of a righteous husband is like a heavy burden on the back of an old man.”
“The blessed wife is the one who asks for a small dowry and is the first to give birth to a daughter.”
“Indeed, Allah Almighty loves such a father who is patient with his daughters and knows the reward for this.”
“To whom 4 things will be given, it will be the best blessing of this world and the eternal world: a noble heart; a tongue occupied with the remembrance of Allah; distress-tolerant body; a wife who does not betray her husband either in body or in his property.
"Paradise is under the feet of your mothers."

"Whoever has a feeling of superiority over people in his heart, even with the size of a seed, he will never enter paradise!"
"Do not skip 2 rak'ahs of the sunnah of the morning prayer, even under especially emergency circumstances."
“Allah will prohibit Hellfire for the one who regularly performs 4 rak'ahs of the sunnah before and after obligatory prayer Zuhr (daytime).
“O soul that has found peace! Return to your Lord satisfied and contented! Enter the circle of my slaves! Come into my paradise!"
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is reported to have said:
اطّلَعْتُ في الجَنّةِ فَرَأيْتُ أكْثَرَ أهْلِها الفُقَرَاءَ واطّلَعْتُ في النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أكْثَرَ أهْلِها النِّساءَ
« I looked into Paradise and saw that most of its inhabitants are poor, and I looked into Hell and saw that most of its inhabitants are women ». This hadith was narrated by Ahmad (1/234, 359), Muslim (2737) and at-Tirmidhi (2602) from the words of Ibn ‘Abbas; Ahmad (4/429, 437, 443), al-Bukhari (3241) and at-Tirmizi (2603) according to ‘Imran ibn Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them.
The hadith is authentic. See "Sahih al-Jami' as-saghir" (1030), "as-Silsila ad-da'ifa" (2800).
- Once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Hell was shown to me, and it turned out that most of its inhabitants were women who showed ingratitude.” He was asked: “Did they not believe in Allah?” He replied: “They showed ingratitude towards their husbands and did not thank for the good deeds (which were shown to them). If you do good to one (of such women) for a long time, and then she sees something from you (such that she does not like it), she (necessarily) will say: “I have never seen anything good from you!” al-Bukhari (29), Muslim (907), Abu Dawud (1181), an-Nasai (3/127).
It is reported that Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:
− (When) during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) a solar eclipse occurred, he prayed. (At first) he stood for a long time, about as long as this time would be enough to read the surah “al-Baqarah”, then he bowed for a long time in a waist bow, then straightened up and (again) stood for a long time, but less than the first time , then made a long waist bow, which took less time than the first, after which (twice) he bowed to the ground. Then he (stood up and) stood for a long time, but less than the first time, then made a waist bow, which was shorter than the first, then (straightened up and) stood for a long time, but less than the first time, then made a waist bow, which was shorter than the first, then (straightened up and twice) bowed to the ground, and then, when the sun had already appeared, he finished (praying). Then (the Prophet) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs of Allah, and their eclipse does not happen either because of death or because of the life of anyone from people, and therefore, if you see (the like), remember Allah!” (People) said: "O Messenger of Allah, we saw you take something while (being) in your place, and then we saw you step back." (In response to this, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, said: “Indeed, I saw Paradise and (stretched out my hands to) take a bunch (of fruits growing there), and if I could pick it, then you will undoubtedly could eat (these fruits) until the end of this world. In addition, the flames (of Hell) were shown to me, and I did not see anything more terrible than (what I saw) today, and I saw that the majority of the inhabitants of Hell are women. (People) asked: “O Messenger of Allah, why is this so?” He said, "Because they are ungrateful." (People) asked: “Are they ungrateful towards Allah?” He said: “They are ungrateful towards (to their) relatives and do not thank for the (provided to them) good deeds. If you begin to do good to one of these all your life, and then she sees something from you (such that she does not like it), she will say: “I have never seen good from you!” al-Bukhari (1052).
Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“(Once) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out to the place of prayer on the day of sacrifice (or: on the day of breaking the fast), and then, passing by (gathered) women, (stopped and) addressed (to them with such words ): “O women, give alms, for verily, it was given to me to see that you are the majority of those who are in Hell!” They asked: “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Because you often curse (people) and show ingratitude towards your husbands. I have not seen any of those who lack intelligence and (perfection in matters of) religion, who could, like any of you, deprive the mind of a prudent man to such an extent! The women asked: “O Messenger of Allah, what is our imperfection in (deeds of) religion and lack of mind?” He said: “Is not the testimony of a woman (equal to) half the testimony of a man?” They said yes. He said: “This (indicates) the lack of her mind. Shouldn’t (a woman) stop praying and fasting when her period starts?” They said yes. He said: “And this (indicates) her imperfection in (deeds of) religion.” al-Bukhari (304), Muslim (80) and Ibn Hibban (5744).
See "Mishkatul-masabih" (19).
It is narrated from the words of ‘Ata (ibn Abu Rabah) that Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
“Once I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at a festive prayer, and he began with a prayer before a sermon, without calling / adhan / and announcing the start of prayer / iqama /. Then he stood up, leaning on Bilal, and ordered (the people) to fear Allah, called them to obedience to Him, began to exhort them and remind them. Then he approached the women, began to exhort them and remind them, and said: "Give alms, for verily, most of you are the fuel of hell." Then a dark-cheeked woman stood up among these women and said: “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Because you complain a lot and are ungrateful towards your husbands.”
(Jabir) said: "And they began to give as alms their jewels, throwing earrings and rings into Bilal's clothes." al-Bukhari (958, 961, 978) and Muslim (885).
"Yakfur-na". The Arabic verb "kafara" means both "to be disbelieving" and "to be ungrateful".
I mean husbands.
That is, either on the tenth day of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, or after the end of Ramadan.
In other words, to bring him to the commission of inappropriate acts.
The Qur'an says: “Take two of your men as witnesses, and if two men are not found, then one man and two women ...” al-Baqara, 2:282.
Thus, we are talking about the impossibility of a woman fulfilling religious duties in full.
Love in all its manifestations has become the most beautiful feeling on earth. Our hearts are made to nurture love and generously share it with those around us. Look around: a mother loves her children, children love their parents, married hearts beat in time, relatives give love to their relatives, and the righteous are able to love the whole world and all the creations of the Almighty.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) often spoke about the love of not only men and women, but also people for each other. There are many hadiths that speak of this exceptional and lofty feeling. He instructed the believers: « A Muslim is one who never harms another person with either his tongue or his hands.”
Another hadeeth says: “Verily, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will say: “Where are the people who loved each other for the sake of My greatness? Today, on the Day when there will be no other shadow but the shadow of Arsh, I will cover them!”
Muslims should definitely take the advice of the hadith: "If you feel a feeling of love for your brother, hurry to tell him about it."
The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) instructed: “Verily, softness, in whatever it is expressed, adorns. Try to alleviate rather than aggravate the situation, try to bring only good news to people and do not force them to avoid you.
Allah said: "For loving friend friend, for the sake of my greatness, minbars of light are intended, which will be envied by the prophets and those who have fallen for the faith!
The Almighty also said: “I will definitely love those who love each other for Me, meet each other for Me, visit each other for Me and spare nothing for Me!”
The Hadith reads: “The sweetness of faith will be felt by the one who loves Allah and His Messenger more than anything else, who loves a person only for the sake of the Almighty and does not think to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him, just as he does not want to be plunged into flames of hell."
Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) paid great attention to marital relations and urged people to do everything possible to strengthen marriage. He said: “When a husband looks at his wife and she looks at him with love, then the Almighty looks at them with mercy. And when a husband takes his wife by the hand, their sins slip through their fingers.”
It is known that there are four things that will become good in the earthly and eternal worlds. This is a grateful heart, a tongue occupied with the remembrance of Allah, a patient body in adversity and a spouse who does not betray her husband either with her body or his property.
And always follow the instruction of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): “By the One in Whose power is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you believe. And you will not believe until you love one another. So won't you point me to what will lead you to mutual love if you will do it? Spread peace among yourselves."
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the best of people, the most beloved slave of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) gained the greatest wealth of this and that world - this is the pleasure of Allah Almighty, and if we also want Allah to be pleased with us, we should follow the advice of His Messenger (peace be upon him):
- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If a woman performs five prayers, fasts in Ramadan, observes chastity and obeys her husband, then she will be told: “Enter Paradise through the gate through which you wish!”
- “O women, give more charity. Verily, I have seen that you are the most numerous in Hell.”
- “You should do tasbeeh, tahleel and takdis! And count with your fingertips, for verily they will be asked (on the Day of Judgment) and they will speak!”
- The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to a woman from the Ansar, whose name was Umm Sinan: "What prevented you from doing Hajj with us?" She said : "Abu Fulyan (her husband) had two mounts, he and his son did Hajj on one of them, and our servant was on the other". The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Umrah in Ramadan is equated with Hajj (or he said) Hajj with me."
- “May Allah have mercy on a man who gets up at night, prays, wakes up his wife, and if she is too lazy to get up, splashes water in her face! May Allah have mercy on a woman who gets up at night, prays, wakes up her husband, and if he is too lazy to get up, splashes water in his face!
- “Your prayer in your room is better for you than your prayer in your hallway, and your prayer in your hallway is better for you than your prayer in your courtyard, and your prayer in your courtyard is better for you than your prayer in the mosque of your tribe, and your prayer in the mosque of your tribe is better for you than your prayer in my mosque.”
- Aisha asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): “O Messenger of Allah, we know that jihad (opposition) is the best of deeds, shouldn’t we do it?” He replied: “However, the best opposition of women is the pious Hajj.”
- The Prophet (peace be upon him) was told: “Messenger of Allah! A certain woman prays at night, fasts during the day, performs good deeds and distributes alms, but she stings her neighbors with her tongue. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “There is nothing good about her. She is one of the inhabitants of Hell." He was told to: “Another woman performs the prescribed prayers and distributes pieces of cheese as alms and does nothing wrong to anyone”. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "She is from the inhabitants of Paradise."
- “If I could order a prostration to someone other than Allah, I would order a woman to bow before her husband. A woman will not fully fulfill her right to her Lord until she fully fulfills her right to her husband.”
- The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked: "Which wife is the best?" He replied: “The one who pleases her husband when he looks at her, obeys him when he tells her something, and does not contradict her husband if he does not like something in herself or in the way she spends her property” .
