and motivation to keep our energy for the next months while awaiting its return. We start
a self-development journey during this blessed month that does not end after four weeks
but continues throughout the year. It is a fantastic process that brings us closer to our inner
self and an opportunity for introspection and reflection, where we listen to our thoughts and
feelings. But personal development never ends.

Keep working on yourself and identify more personal goals for you to achieve.
Change requires time, energy, and willingness.

so there is no need to rush. as Allah has blessed you to complete this

Nusaybah bint Ka’ab also known as Umm Ammarah, participated the battle of Uhud to take
care of the injured and give water to the thirsty ones. The warriors of Quraish were starting to

tide then turned against the Muslims and many sahaabas got martyred.

During the fight Umm ‘Ammarah saw how the Prophet Muhammed (saws) lost his teeth and
that most of the companions got martyred. Despite not having any experience in fighting, she
didn’t hesitate to go and protect our Prophet Muhammed (saws). Her son was hurt but she told
him “Go and fight the people, my son!”.

Abu Sa’eed narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Indeed the people of the higher Umar ibn al-Khattab RA narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah SAW, “Whenever I turned left
levels, will be seen by those who are beneath them like the stars which appear far off in the sky. or right on the day of the battle of Uhud, I always saw her (Nusaybah) fighting in my defense.”
And indeed Abu Bakr and ‘Umar are among them, and they have done well.””.
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3658] During the battle of Uhud Nusaybah bint Ka’ab received a deep neck wound and 13 wounds that
stayed with her till she passed away. Nusaybah was outspoken and remained true to her deen.

Hind bint Utbah Sahabiyat

Hind bint Utbah was a woman of actions and full of energy. Whatever she did, she did with a

powerful mindset. She was the wife of Abu Sufyan and the mother of Muawiyah. Before being
guided to Islam, Hind wasn’t Muslims-friendly to the extent that she would hire someone to kill Find the hidden words below
Hamza, the uncle of the Prophet Muhammed (saws). She assisted to the battle that ended up with
the murder of Hamza. When she softened towards Islam, she didn’t feel comfortable. Remorse
was so intense, that she was doubting she could face the Prophet Muhammed (saws) or not.

For this very reason, she veiled her face so that the Prophet wouldn’t recognize her and took her
shahada. She said: “O Allah’s Messenger (saws)! By Allah, there was no family on the surface of the
earth, I like to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is no family on the
surface of the earth whom I like to see honored more than yours.”

“Later on, In the Battle of Yarmouk, the Muslims defeated the Eastern Roman Empire with the help

Lessons learned from her story:

Mistakes (no matter how big), once realized, don’t define us. Instead of wallowing in regrets, clarify
your vision and mindset and use that energy to compensate the guilt into progression!
