The Disadvantages of Ummaid, Al-Maddina, and the Prophet Salaam

Sipan Allah: Ummaid Al-Ahi Wasallam was one of the few literate women that existed in Al-Maddina. She had unique circumstances that allowed her to excel in immediately memorizing the Qur'an, he says. The Prophet Salallahu Alaihi WasAllam told her to lead the people of her household in prayer, Sipan Allah writes. He adds there is a controversy over whether she should have led men and women at the same time. "The spirit of the Prophet Salaam in his most difficult moments ... I want to be with you on the battlefield"
