07 – Saintly Women (Part 6) Lady Maryam – Her Virtue and Merit – Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan


In this episode, Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan starts covering the life of Lady Maryam (may Allah be pleased with her). He tell us about some of the details of her life that was full of virtue and merit. He highlights how she was the only woman mentioned in the Qur’an by name. She grew up in a religious household that moulded her into the righteous servant she would become. Then he explains the power of supplication and how she made a righteous du’a to have a righteous baby boy, and it was answered. Shaykh Abdurragmaan reminds us of the importance of a good intention of the mother and her making du’a for a righteous child, and her giving her child a good name.

This episode is part of the series Saintly Women, with Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan. In a time when women’s rights are in question, this series provides clear Prophetic guidance on the dignified and critical role of women from the Islamic perspective through the role model of five saintly women. Shaykh Abdurragmaan highlights the lives and lessons of Sayyida Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra, Sayyida Asiya, Sayyida Maryam bint Imran, and Sayyida bint Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be please with them all).

The lives and lessons of these five saintly women will be covered due to their high virtue and status given in the Qur’an and sunna. The series will extract lessons of guidance from their lives so that Muslim women can take them as role models. It is important for both men and women to know about these saintly women, to follow their virtuous character, and to teach the generations to come how to follow them as role models, especially the girls and young ladies.
