The four queens of Jannah (Paradise) are: Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Aasiyah bint Mazaahim, and Maryam bint 'Imran.
These women are considered to be the most exemplary figures in Islam, particularly regarding their faith, piety, and significant roles in Islamic history. They serve as role models for Muslim women and men alike. Here's a breakdown of each:
-
Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid: The first wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the first person to embrace Islam. She provided immense support to the Prophet, both emotionally and financially, during the early years of his prophethood.
-
Fatimah bint Muhammad: The youngest daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Khadeejah. She is highly revered for her piety, patience, and devotion to her family. She is also the wife of Ali ibn Abi Talib and the mother of Hasan and Hussein, important figures in Islamic history.
-
Aasiyah bint Mazaahim (Pharaoh's Wife): Known for her strong faith in Allah despite being the wife of Pharaoh, who claimed divinity. She rejected Pharaoh's ways and secretly believed in Moses (peace be upon him). She is recognized for her unwavering belief and her courage to stand up for her faith.
-
Maryam bint 'Imran (Mary, the mother of Jesus): The mother of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). She is venerated in Islam for her piety, purity, and devotion to God. The Quran dedicates a full chapter to her story and highlights her unique status as a woman chosen by God.
These four women are held in high esteem in Islam for their exemplary qualities and unwavering faith in Allah, earning them the esteemed title of the "queens of Jannah."
