Fourteen hour-long sessions
The journey begins with a discourse on the overarching theme of the ahl or family. Aadam and his wife, married in the heavens and reunited on earth to fulfill their marriage, were the constituents of the first ahl. From there, Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia plunges us into the depths of the Quran and Sunnah, and brings to light many fascinating insights into the lives of some of the most prominent women mentioned in the Quran, with commentaries on their noteworthy qualities:
- the dedication of Sarah who raised a nabi although well past the age of parenting
- the constancy of Aasiya who gave her all to protect the nabi of her time
- the perspicacity of Bilqees who submitted with the prophet king and brought her whole kingdom into submission
- the steadfastness of the wife of Imran who delivered her promise to Allah
- and the unparalleled purity of her daughter Maryam who delivered Isa – Allah’s response to her own mother’s insightful supplication
- the focus then shifts from the line of Ishaaq to the line of Isma’eel with the discussion of his mother, the noble lady Hajar who’s courage epitomized motherhood itself, and who’s refined intellect helped found an entire civilization.
- the series peaks with sessions on the wives of our Messenger – the Mothers of the believers
