زندگینامه کامل
Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad was born in Makkah around 603 CE, the third daughter of the Prophet Muhammad and his first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. She grew up in a household of faith and righteousness, witnessing the earliest days of Islam from the moment of revelation. Like her sisters, she embraced Islam wholeheartedly as a young girl and was deeply devoted to her father and to the new faith.
Before the migration to Madinah, Umm Kulthum had been betrothed to Utaybah ibn Abi Lahab, son of the Prophet's fierce enemy Abu Lahab. When Surah al-Masad was revealed condemning Abu Lahab and his wife, Abu Lahab commanded his son to divorce Umm Kulthum, which he did before the marriage was consummated. This was a painful rejection, but Umm Kulthum bore it with dignity and faith.
After her sister Ruqayyah passed away in 624 CE, the Prophet gave Umm Kulthum in marriage to Uthman ibn Affan, who had been Ruqayyah's husband. This is why Uthman earned the honorific "Dhul-Nurayn" (Possessor of Two Lights), for he was blessed to marry two daughters of the Prophet. Umm Kulthum's marriage to Uthman was a union of great piety and mutual respect.
She is remembered for an act of generosity and modesty that became legendary. When the verse commanding women to draw their veils was revealed, she is among those who immediately and joyfully complied. She passed away in 630 CE, in the ninth year of the Hijra, during the lifetime of her father. The Prophet was deeply grieved by her death. He personally helped wash and prepare her for burial and led her funeral prayer. Companions recalled that as she was lowered into her grave, tears fell silently down the cheeks of the Prophet, who said he would be waiting for her and her sisters beyond the Sirat. Her life, though short, was a testament to quiet faith, patient endurance of loss, and complete submission to God's will.
