About this lecture

“O daughter of the noble ones!” This was the way to address the younger granddaughter of the Prophet ﷺ, Umm Kulthum bint Ali (ra). She was a woman of piety, like her mother Fatima (ra). In the glimpses we have into her life, we see her marrying Umar (ra) and then the sons of Ja’far (ra), stepping in to help a traveling woman give birth, patiently enduring the martyrdom of many loved ones, and dying alongside her son. 0:00 - Birth of Umm Kulthum (ra) at the end of Prophet ﷺ’s life 0:56 - Proposal of Umar (ra) to marry her 6:43 - Helping a traveling woman give birth 13:38 - Taking vessels of butter and honey 15:58 - Marrying the sons of Ja’far (ra) 18:18 - Dying alongside her son, Zayd ibn Umar 20:54 - Relationships between the Sahabah and Ahl al-Bayt #ummkulthum #ahlulbayt #thefirsts #omarsuleiman #umaribnalkhattab #aliibnabitalib Click SUBSCRIBE and hit the 🔔 icon to receive the latest updates from Yaqeen!
