Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had eleven wives. Although the number of wives is limited to four for Muslims, Allah Ta’ala granted this special concession of eleven wives to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

After the demise of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) it was not lawful for anyone to marry the holy wives of Nabi-e-Kareem (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam). The noble and pure wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) are described by the Qur’aan Shareef as being the ‘Mothers of the Mu’mineen’.

All the honourable and pious wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) deserve the respect and reverence of the Ummah. Whoever cherishes hatred and disrespect for the Azwaaj-e-Mutahharaat (Holy and Pure Wives), in fact harbours hatred and malice for Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Among the various baatil sects which arose in the Ummah, such hatred for Rasulullah’s wives is the peculiarity of the Shiahs.

The following are the names of the Holy Wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam):

  1. Khadijah Binti Khuwailad
  2. Saudah Binti Zam’ah
  3. Aisha Binti Abi Bakr
  4. Hafsah Binti Umar
  5. Zainab Binti Khuzaimah
  6. Salmah Binti Abu Umayyah
  7. Zainab Binti Jahsh
  8. Juwairiyyah Binti Haarith
  9. Umme Habibah Binti Abu Sufyan
  10. Safiyyah Binti Akhtab
  11. Maimunah Binti Haarith
