It explores the inspiring life of Umm Aiman, an Abyssinian woman who began her journey as a slave in Makkah.

The story focuses on her transformation—from a slave to a freed woman, from a servant to a companion of immense faith and strength. It traces her acceptance of Islam, her marriage, and her life as a mother. Her migration to Madinah, her belief in the Prophet’s mission, and her steadfastness in times of hardship are portrayed with deep sensitivity. Umm Aiman’s courage, loyalty, and unwavering faith shine through each page. Her quiet strength and pivotal role in early Islamic history are made accessible and inspiring for young readers. Rich, colorful illustrations bring her story vividly to life, capturing key moments and emotions. This book offers children and adults alike a moving introduction to one of Islam’s most remarkable women. It is both an educational and heartwarming read that celebrates her enduring legacy.
