Daughters of our Beloved Prophet Mohammad (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam): Our Prophet Mohammad sallal laahoo alahi wassallam had 4 daughters. Zainab bint Muhammad Ruqayyah bint Muhammad Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad Fatima bint Muhammad Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had all his 4 daughters from Khadijah (radi Allahu anha). Zainab bint Muhammad (Radhiallaho anha): She was the eldest daughter of the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) and was born in the fifth year of his first marriage, when he was thirty.She was the eldest daughter. She married Abul Aas (radi Allahu anhu) who only accepted Islam just a year after she passed away in 8 A.H. She passed away from a wound she received while on the Hijrah to Madinatul Munawwarah. She had two children – Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and Umama (radi Allahu anha). Ruqayya (Radhiallaho anha): She was the second daughter of Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam. When she was born, the Prophet sallal laahoo alahi wassallam was 33 years old.She was first married to Utba, son of Abu Lahab. She did not live with him and he divorced her. She then married Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) and migrated with him to Abyssinia and finally settled in Madinatul Munawwarah. They had one son Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) who passed away at the age of 6. Ruqayya became ill during the Battle of Badr and therefore Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) could not take part in the Battle of Badr. He was counted among the excused because he had to stay with his wife. The day when Zayd Ibn Haritha brought the news of Badr victory to Madinah, Rukayya (radi Allahu anha) passed away. And Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam could not take part in his daughters funeral because of the Battle of Badr. Umme Kulthum (radi Allahu anha): She was first married to Utaibah, another son of Abu Lahab. She did not want to live with him and he divorced her. In 3 A.H. she married ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) at the end of the Battle of Badr, one year after the death of Ruqayyah (radi Allahu anha). As is narrated by Bukhari, when Hafsa (radi Allahu anha) was widowed, and when Umar (radi Allahu anhu), her father, applied to Uthman, he showed hesitation. Then Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam said to Umar (radi Allahu anha) “I will find a man to you better than Uthman and to Uthman a man better than you. Give your daughter to me, and I will give my daughter to Uthman Ummu Kulthum(radi Allahu anha), who married Uthman(radi Allahu anhu), lived with him for 6 years. She passed away in the ninth year of the Migration. Her funeral prayer was led by Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam. Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) married two daughters of Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam, Ruqayya and Ummu Kulthum (radi Allahu anha), he was given the title which means “Owner of two lights.” Fathima (radi Allahu anhu): She was the youngest daughter of Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). She married Ali (radi Allahu anhu). She passed away a few months after Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) left this world. She is considered to be the “Leader of the Women of Paradise.” Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam loved his daughter Fatima (radi Allahu anha)dearly. During his illness, he called her close to him. He whispered something to her, upon which Fatima(radi Allahu anha) cried. He whispered again. This time Fatima (radi Allahu anha) smiled. Thereupon Aisha (radi Allahu anha), The Prophets wife, asked about it. Fatima (radi Allahu anha)replied as follows: “Firstly, Allahs Messenger sallal laahoo alahi wassallam said that he would die after his illness; so I cried. Then he informed me that the first one in his family to reunite with him would be me; this time, I became happy.” It was Fatima (radi Allahu anha)who continued the lineage of the Prophet sallal laahoo alahi wassallam. Fatima(radi Allahu anha) had five children: Hasan, Husayn, Muhsin, Ummu Kulthum, and Zaynab (Peace be upon them all). Among them Muhsin (radi Allahu anhu) passed away as a child. Some scholars say Ruqayyah(radi Allahu anha), her first daughter, died in infancy and has therefore, not been mentioned much in history.
