In this episode, Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan continues covering the life of Lady Maryam (may Allah be pleased with her). He tells us about how Allah, from His favor, sent food directly to her that was not available to anyone else. Maryam showed her thankfulness by praying to Allah. She cut herself off from worldly things in order to supplicate to Allah and turn to Him in devotion. Shaykh Abdurragmaan reminds us of the importance of  supplication (du’a) through the example of Lady Maryam. She shows us how to turn to Allah when in need, and how to be thankful for what Allah has given us as well.

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 Aisha 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.
