The prophet of Islam (saw) and the women of his life, by Asma Lamrabet

It seemed necessary to us today to defuse the debate on the status of women in Islam. Clichés and prejudices die hard, and in order to focus the debate and above all to affirm the essential role that Islam attributes to women, Asma Lamrabet offers us here a new essay on the biography of the Prophet of Islam ( saw ) and women in his life.

Wife , daughter or granddaughter, what role did they play in her journey, in the evolution of the brand new religion? What should we draw from this feminine ideal of the early days of Islam?

In the light of the founding texts ( Koran and Sunna) , and essentially in the light of an essential dimension, that of a purely feminine spirituality, the author is interested in understanding Muhammad ( saw ) , bearer of a divine mission and endowed with a personality that changed the course of history. Who are the emblematic female figures of his life? Who are those who saw him born, who accompanied him, who supported him and who loved him as a man but also and above all as the Prophet of a universal message, the message of Islam?
