Khawla bint Thalaba al-Ansariyya
The Woman Who Petitioned Heaven
Dangantaka da Annabi ﷺ
The revelation of an entire chapter of the Qur'an (Surah al-Mujadilah) in response to Khawla's petition demonstrates that the Prophet recognized the legitimacy of women's grievances and took them before Allah Himself.

Cikakken Tarihi
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.
