Umm Ayman (ra): The Woman Who Never Stopped Caring | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

In episode 5 of the Firsts, Sh. Omar Suleiman introduces us to Barakah Bint Thalaba, or Umm Ayman (ra), the woman who never stopped caring. Umm Ayman (ra) was a second mother to the Prophet ﷺ after his mother passed. Not only is she the second woman to accept Islam, she is the only woman to have been with him from his birth till his death.

This shaikh always speak only point to point valuable information without wasting time. Profound professor

[@YasMohamed7]

MashaAllah tabarakAllah. Allahumma barik lahu. Allahumma Ameen ya Rabb’Al Al’Ameen

[@saraharold3670]

Alhamdulillah so nice when I have that name as my Kunya to hear the heartwarming story of Umm Ayman's life, radi allahu anhaa, who had that unique distinction of being beside Rasulallah, salla allahu alaihi wassalam, throughout his whole life and be inspired by her example.

[@adoontialle4536]

Maya Aĺlah barik him

[@submissionishealing]

SubhanAllah yes. And so eloquent ❤

[@anjalii1801]

Notes:- Umm Ayman R.A. -She was with the prophet pbuh from the day when he was born till the day he died -She was born 13yrs before the prophet pbuh -She was a slave from Abyssinia -She was purchased by the father of prophet pbuh Abdullah and she was the only one living with Abdullah and Aminah and her name was BARAKAH - Abdullah went to syria (as sham) for trade and he didn't know her wife is pregnant -Aminah saw a dream where a light is coming from her stomach and lighting up the hill to the as sham so she asked barakah what it is so she said you are probably going to have a blessed child with good news -Abdullah didn't return from As sham, he died and Barakah was the only one with Aminah in the room when she was delivering prophet pbuh -first one to hold prophet pbuh, she saw a light coming from him -Barakah, Aminah and Halima were the 3 who nursed prophet pbuh -Prophet pbuh introduced Barakah to Khadija saying "She is my mother after my mother" -Barakah didn't get married because she wanted to take care of prophet pbuh all her life she said that "I never left him and he never left me" but after prophet's marriage he freed barakah and khadijah found her a suited husband and paid all the expenses -Her husband was Ubaid Ibn Zaid from yathrib and then she had a son with him named Ayman -Her husband passed away before Islam and after 6 years of Islam Prophet pbuh asked everyone "who wants to get married to a woman from Jannah" he was referring to Barakah and Zaid ibn Haritha who was 20yrs younger than Barakah agreed to get married to her -Zaid ibn harith was like a son to prophet pbuh -Even when Barakah was too old to give birth Allah gave her a son Usama ibn Zaid -She made hijrah and she was around 70 at that time. She got thirty on her way and thought that she is going to die of the thirst but suddenly she saw a bucket of water held with a rope from sky is coming towards her then she drank from it and poured the rest of the water on herself. After that she used to fast on the hardest day, do tawaf on under the sun and never became thirty again -Anas R.a. reported One day Prophet pbuh visited umm ayman and he was fasting or didn't want to eat so she puts the food in his mouth and said eat..eat.. -There was no one who made prophet pbuh laugh like she did -She saw all of her beloved die -When prophet pbuh died she distanced herself from everyone and became quiet -She lived for a long time, she saw umar bin khattab becoming the khalifa -Abu bakr and Umar bin khattab visited her after prophet's death, she was weeping and said that she isn't crying because Prophet pbuh is no more he is at a better place but she is crying because the revelation has stopped coming directly from the heaven and all of the three started crying -She lived 20 days after the assassination of Uman bin khattab Astagfirullah for any mistake and please correct me if I have mentioned anything wrong

[@husnauddin1777]

Thankyou very much for these notes it was very useful may Allah reward you.

[@habnjie5342]

"She defended the prophet SAW in battle field when everyone ran away" this made me very emotional. What a woman. ALLAHUAKBAR

[@alamgirsiddiqui433]

Hab Njie , There were more heroic women fought in the battle with prophet SWS. Many women fought in Islamic army to liberate the oppressive around Arab peninsula. The Great War in Yarmouth, called the war of the century were almost lost twice against the Byzantine army of 5 times bigger but saved by the direct combat involvement of our heroic women who were stationed behind. May Allah bless them all to Jannatul Nayeem.

[@modra5465]

A woman of jannah❤️

[@Haysti2000]

@Sia Rizvi I mean yeah but it is definitly something impressiv. She was also a free woman at that point she didnt owe the prophet saw. anything anymore and as an old woman she defended him. It is 100% something you cant say muslims nowadays would do.

[@subikatariq6674]

SubhanAllah

[@soriyaskitchen]

I’d never heard of this women before. Jazak’Allah for sharing. How amazing she got to spend soooo much time in the presence of the Prophet (PBUH)

[@vickilott2149]

Shaik Omar Suleiman makes the people of the Prophets (pbuh) time come to life in the most amazing way. He helps bring you so close to our Prophet (pbuh). I can imagine Allah s.w.t and our Prophet (pbuh) smiling as they watch Shaik Omar Suleiman teach us the beginning of Islam. I pray Allah swt give him the highest level of jannah

[@thesmallslaveofhislordinst5847]

After having known that Sayyidatunaa Āminaah passed away I never realized how badly my heart was hurt by the fact that Rasool’Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم never had a mother figure, but the joy I felt in my heart that our Sayyid and Master صلى الله عليه وسلم had a mother figure... subhaanallaah it’s a sukoon beyond words that I now know that our Sayyid and Beloved Prophet was looked after... AlHamdulillaah

[@JamalMeasara]

WHAT A LUCKY WOMAN SHE WAS; MAY ALLAH BLESS HER IN JENNAH

[@bushrachoudhry3447]

This is my mother after my mother.very lucky woman.May Allah bless her higher place in jannah aameen

She is good as long as islam is good..what a woman❤️

[@adamsunusiadam7313]

That's the most hard touching word of her life.... Wallahi I love her for the sake of Allah

[@zainabizhar4422]

The whole amazing lecture and awesomeness of Imam Omar aside, i cannot be the only one who has NEVER heard about her. We are purposefully never taught about strong Muslim women in schools,college..islamic lectures...I always felt we need to know more about Sahaabiyat but the fact that we arent taught about a black woman who was like Prophet's mother..doesnt seem like a coincidence.

[@lovelygirltje123]

FOR REAL THO

[@katielarsen2630]

I'm really upset that I have barely heard her name mentioned in everything I've read/heard about the seerah (which isn't a ton, but she was so important in his life salli alahu alyhi weh salam that it still seems wrong)

[@RubinaMerchant]

Alhamdulillah... beautiful 39:22 mins spent listening to your lecture on "my mother after my mother". I have yet to come across a single video where you have not made me cry. MashaAllah. May Allah Continue to Bless you with a soft sincere heart, solid knowledge, articulate way of moving and inspiring others towards Islam. Ameen. Jazak Allah Khairan.
