By Faridah Mas’ood Debas, International Islamic Publishing House, Hardback, 240 pages

The new and revised edition drawing out the most inspiring aspects of the lives of the honourable wives of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

This book contains a wealth of captivating information about the distinguished wives of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) and the wisdom behind their marriages. Each wife is honoured as an individual, and their lives exemplify an ideal for which Muslims may strive.

The author has compiled the statements of several scholars on this topic and added to this her own impassioned arguments, with which she dispels criticism by orientalists of the Prophet’s practice of polygyny. From a historical perspective, his life, along with those of his wives, authenticates his mission. His practice of polygyny, when investigated, reveals a deep wisdom behind his marriages that supported his efforts of teaching and spreading Islam.
