Exploits and Achievements of theSahabiyat (Women Companions)

The Sahfibiyat (Women Companions) were the noble women who were the contemporaries of the Prophet Muhammad – They were the pure, virtuous crusaders of Islam, and were honored

during the very lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad with the prediction that they would live forever in Paradise in the Hereafter. Their achievements and influence are found in every sphere of that momentous period in the history of the world, when the whole of humanity would be transfigured forever.

They were as active in religion as in politics, as courageous in war as in the peaceful and persuasive propagation of the teachings of Islam. These noble selfless women could be found in the battlefields among the foremost ranks of those taking part in Jihad.

They were to be found in the political arena, in the field of education, in the courts of Islamic jurisprudence, in the interpretation of Shari’ah,1 in trade and commerce, in agriculture, in medicine and in nursing. In short there was no sphere that did not benefit from their intellect, their wisdom and their gentle yet firm strength of character.

Religious Achievements

Among the many services that one can render to Islam, is to fight in the battlefields. Few, if any, examples of such zeal, determination, perseverance and courage can be found in history. When the disbelievers attacked the Muslims during the Battle of Uhud, only a few devoted followers were left to fight with the Prophet Muhammad·

At this critical stage the Women Companion Umm ‘ Amma rah shielded him with her body and warded off the enemy with her sword as well as her bow and arrows.

When Qaniah got within striking distance of the Prophet Muhammad, it was she who bore the brunt of his attack. She had a deep wound on her shoulder, yet she continued to attack him with her sword. But he was well protected and she could not make a dent in his armor. Against Mussailrnah Kaththab she fought so courageously that she suffered a dozen wounds and lost an arm.

In the battle of Ahazab (the battle of Trench), the Companion Safiyyah displayed brilliant military strategy in handling the Jewish attack, and slew one of the Jews. In the Battle of Hunain Umm Salim lt,set

out to attack the enemy with her sword.

In the battle of Yarmook, Asma’ bint Abu Bakr, Umm Abban, Umm Hakeem, Khawlah, Hind and the Mother of believers Juwairiah displayed extraordinary valor. Asma’ bint Yazid killed nine enemy soldiers. ln the year 28th after Hijrah, Umm Haram took part in the attack on Cyprus.

The Mohter of the believers ‘Aishah, Umm Salim and Umm Salit were among those who were very proficient at nursing the wounded.

The Sahabiyat usually accompanied the Prophet Muhammad; on his military expeditions and took part in battles both on land and at sea. Besides taking an active part in the war, there were many other services that the Sahdbiyat performed, like giving medical aid to the soldiers, nursing the wounded on the battlefields, and providing food and water to the wounded and thirsty. Standing side by side with the soldiers they would hand them arrows, nursing the wounded, and generally help to keep up the morale of the army. They also helped to carry the martyred and the wounded back to Al-Madinah. Umm ‘Atiyah took part in seven battles and fought during the rule of the Caliphs ‘Umar Farooq the women and even the children helped to bury the dead.
