Introduction
Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his household, hiscompanions and those who follow his guidance.A woman is a half of humankind and bears the other half. Thus, she is the whole world. Among themost wonderful mysteries of our nature is that of sex. The unregenerate male is art in the pride of his physical strength, to forget the all-important part, which the female plays in his very existence,and in all the social relationships that arise in our collective human lives. The mother that bore usmust ever have our reverence. Sex, which governs so much of our physical life, and has so muchinfluence on our emotional and higher nature, deserves -not our fear, or our contempt or our amusedindulgence, but –our reverence in the highest sense of the term.One of the effective ways that magnify the belief in one's heart is to highlight same stories of theearly believers. Such stories explain the seeming contradictions of life, the enduring nature of virtuein a world full of flux and change and the marvellous working of Allah's eternal purpose in His planas unfolded to us on the wide canvas of history. When one looks at the women, who will bediscussed, however those who risked their lives in Jihad against the enemies of Allah and those who presented their sons and all what they had for the cause of Allah, an explanation of their motivationsthat downplays faith in Allah and His Messenger (pbuh) must surely need a great deal more to beconvincing than this type of brief detail. However, hereunder there are same snapshots of their livesthat may highlight the development of their chasracters.
The Mother of the Mankind
Hawwa’ 
She is the mother of mankind. She is created from one of Adam’s ribs. Allah the Almighty says,
(He created you (all) from a single person: then created of like nature, his mate)(Az-Zumar: 6)
It was after Adam had been created the angels were asked to prostrate to him, for by Allah’s grace,his status had actually been raised higher. All of angels prostrated save Iblis (Satan) who in turn wasexpelled from the Garden owing to his rebelliousness. Adam and his wife, Hawwa' were placed inGarden of comfort and bless, but it was Allah's plan to give him a limited faculty of choice. All thatwas forbidden to do was to approach the Tree, but he succumbed to Satan' s suggestions.Adam and Hawwa' were innocent in matters material as well as spiritual. They knew no evil. Butthe faculty of choice, which was given to them and which raised them above the angels, alsoimplied that they has the capacity of evil, which by the training of their own will, they were toreject. They were warned of the danger. When they fell, they realized the evil. They were (as weare) still given the chance in this life on a lower plane, to make good and recover the lost status of innocence and bliss.Adam and Hawwa' were commanded to inhabit the earth. They were very sad. Both of themrepented and Allah accepted their repentance because it was sincere. They were told by Allah that
