→ His family never stopped looking for him and when they heard he was in Makka they arrived with a
ransom to free him.

more just in the sight of Allah.” ] was revealed after which he was called Zayd ibn Haritha .

those who went back to Makka to accompany the remaining Muslims to Madina after migration.
→ He married several times, once to the Prophet’s cousin Zaynab, a marriage that ended in divorce: “So
when Zaid totally lost interest in ˹keeping˺ his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would
be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And
Allah’s command is totally binding.” (33.37).
→ He was close to the Prophet (pbuh) and fought in many battles, including Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and
Khaybar.

the birth of Hazrat Zainab (RA) when
the Prophet (Pbuh) was 33.
• She was married to Utbah, son of Abu Lahab, but had
not yet started living with him.

to Hazrat Usman (RA).
• The couple emigrated to Abyssinia twice.
• They came back to Makkah in the 10th year of
Prophethood.
• They also migrated to Madinah before PBUH.
• At the time of Badr, Hazrat Ruqayyah (RA) was ill (she
died subsequently of this illness). Usman

stay in Madinah and look after her.

youngest daughter and ‘Head of ladies on
Paradise’, born a few years before prophethood.

daughters (Hassan, Hussain, Mohsin
Zaynab, Ruqayyah & Um e Kulsoom).
• She suffered hardships after her marriage and did all
the work at home herself, for example,

told her to say Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah,
Allahu Akbar before going to sleep.
• One of her titles was Az-Zahra, the resplendent one.

(Pbuh) and passed away five months after her
father at the age of 29 and buried in Janat ul Baqi.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN?
• The bond between the Prophet (Pbuh) and Fatima
shows that mutual love and respect needs to
be nurtured between parents and children.
• Parents should love all their children, male and
female, and treat them well.
• The way the Prophet (Pbuh) showed love and respect
for his daughter and the way Fatima always stood by
her father hold great lessons for Muslims.
EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STATEMENT,
‘DAUGHTERS ARE A MERCY (RAHMA)’?
• In a time where daughters were not valued, the
Prophet had four, and was loving and kind to
them. This shows the kind of relationship parents
should have with their daughters.
• They should protect them and be supportive of them.
• Education and work should be made available to
them, and all daughters should be provided for equally.
• Daughters in turn bring softness and care to a family
and are a means of salvation for parents who look after
them; “Whoever brings up two girls till they reach the
age of puberty, he and I will come on the Day of
Resurrection like this,” (and he joined his blessed
fingers.)
