Vollständige Biografie

Khawla bint Thalaba was the wife of Aws ibn al-Samit. When he performed zihar (declaring his wife unlawful to him as his mother's back), she came to the Prophet with her complaint. Her situation was so moving that the Prophet could not answer her initially; instead, a revelation came down (Surah al-Mujadilah) specifically addressing her case. This chapter of the Qur'an itself became her testimony to the justice of Islam. She is remembered as the woman whose cry reached the heavens and changed Islamic law.
