Ummahatul Momineen Urdu

Ummahatul momineen is an Arabic term that means "the mothers of the believers". It is a title of honor and respect given to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who are considered as the noble mothers of the Muslim community. The Quran mentions this title in Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 6

The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from Mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).

Every Muslim likes to know (and must know) about, the members of

the family of the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam).

The Muhaddithin and historians all agree that eleven ladies had the

honour of being wives of the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe

Wasallam). A very brief account of their lives is, therefore, given here.
