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