Sahaba Role Models

Rumaysa (Umm Sulaym) – The Woman Who Made Islam Her Mahr | Sahaba Role Models

Sahaba Role Models Season 4 Episode 4

In this powerful episode, we explore the life of Rumaysa bint Milhan, famously known as Umm Sulaym—a woman of remarkable faith, intelligence, and strength. 

From boldly embracing Islam in the earliest days of Yathrib, to raising her son Anas ibn Malik in the love of the Prophet , Umm Sulaym showed unwavering dedication to Allah.

Her marriage proposal story with Abu Talhah is one of the most inspiring in Islamic history—where she asked for no gold or silver, only his acceptance of Islam as her mahr (dowry). 

Her bravery in battles, deep love for the Prophet ﷺ, and calmness in adversity reflect her towering character. Learn about this Sahabiyyah who exemplified courage, wisdom, and piety in every phase of her life.
