Barakah accompanied the Prophet when he moved to Mecca and on his expeditions

During the battle of Uhud, she gave out water to the thirsty soldiers and took care of the wounded. 

One example of Umm Ayman's dedication to Islam and the Prophet was when she trekked across the burning desert through sandstorms on foot from Makkah to Madinah to join the Prophet. Despite the harshness of the journey though, she persisted, and was given good news when she reached her destination.]]> 2017-01-05 14:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145483147 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145483312 Barakah did not fail in her responsibility in taking care of Rasulullah s.a.w. when the amanah was given to her by Aminah. 

Henceforth, we as muslims should be responsible, uphold the amanah that was given to us, no matter how small it is. ]]> 2017-01-05 14:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145483312 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145483759 Mufti Menk shared about Barakah (Umm Ayman)]]> 2017-01-05 14:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145483759 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145490055 2017-01-05 14:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145490055 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145906845 - She took care of Aminah when Aminah was pregnant with Rasulullah s.a.w and is the first woman to hold Rasulullah when he was given born

- She is known as the Mother after the Prophet's mother

- She was the primary care giver of Rasulullah s.a.w. when Aminah died until the Prophet Muhammad got married, freed her and asked her to marry. When her husband died, she returned back to Rasulullah and continued taking care of him, in his household

- When she was in about her 50s, the Prophet, when speaking to his companions said, "Should one of you desire to marry a woman from the people of Paradise, let him marry Umm Ayman."]]> 2017-01-09 06:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145906845 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145906978 2017-01-09 06:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/145906978 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/146463236 Her devotion towards Islam and the Prophet Muhammad is so great. She is such a selfless person whose devotion for the religion remained unshakable. Her place in Paradise was assured.

We should try to follow her devotion to the religion and Rasulullah s.a.w. and to always spread and share out knowledge to other muslims.]]> 2017-01-11 10:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/146463236 NurainIsmail https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/146464024 Umm Ayman was not a physically attractive lady but was still able to marry Zayd ibn Haritha, who was way younger than her. She was loved not because of her looks but her character.

Hence, we as human, should not judge a person based on the person's looks but rather the character.]]> 2017-01-11 10:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/NurainIsmail/Barakah/wish/146464024
