Umm Ayman (ra) was of Abyssinian descent and the primary care giver of the Prophet (saw) after the passing of his mother Amina. She was one of the most important people in the Prophet’s (saw) life. She was originally a slave but later freed. She looked after the Prophet (saw) both in his early years, and beyond. Lots of material that many will not know before reading this book, some of which many will find surprising (especially that related to the Prophets of Allah, the Companions RA, and the very nature of the people who were enslaved and transported to work on plantations in the Americas).

The origin of these Companions is often overlooked, yet in their origin is a great lesson for us. The Prophet (saw), the greatest gift to mankind exalted and raised the status of these companions.

Southern European states and international aid A recent report from the John Smith Centre found that more than 83 per cent of Scottish Muslims have experienced Islamophobia. It is rooted in racism and targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. Islamophobia takes many forms, from the more obvious physical and verbal abuse to the less visible discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion. The University recently adopted the working definition of Islamophobia developed by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims alongside the guidelines from the Coalition Against Islamophobia. This came about after several teams across the University championed the definition, and the University community led on several awareness-raising discussions that took place during Islamophobia Awareness Month in 2021. This ultimately encouraged an endorsement of a formal proposal by the Edinburgh Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the University Executive.She was honoured by being the wife of a martyr and mother of a martyr, as her husband was killed in the Battle of Khaybar, and her son, Ayman, in the Battle of Hunayn. Thereafter, she married Zayd ibn Harithah, adopted by the Prophet (saw), and together, they had another son, Usama. Usama ibn Zayd (ra) too was honoured by being appointed by the Prophet (saw) himself, as the commander of the army against the Byzantines, despite his youth, paving the way for the expansion of Islam into the Levant and Egypt.
