The 4 chosen women of Islam - Correct wording?

Question

Salam. In Islam we have 4 women whos position is greatest above all women in existance. They are:

Asiya, Maryium, Khadijah and Fatimah (AS * 4)

What is the Arabic title for these 4 and what is a good English phraze to represent them. What do you use? I use the phrase "the 4 chosen women" or "the greatest 4 women". There's got to be a better phraze - please tell me what you use.

Answer 1

watch how the wahabis will make this question an arguement

oh wait never mind, they already have

Answer 2

The correct wording is not "Chosen", but it's the best of women.

خط رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الأرض أربعة خطوط قال تدرون ما هذا فقالوا الله ورسوله أعلم فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل نساء أهل الجنة خديجة بنت خويلد وفاطمة بنت محمد وآسية بنت مزاحم امرأة فرعون ومريم ابنة عمران رضي الله عنهن أجمعين

((The Messenger of Allaah salallaahu alaihi wa salam drew four lines on the ground, then he said, “Do you know what this is?” We said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” The Messenger of Allaah salallaahu alaihi wa salam said: “The best of the women of Paradise are Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid, Faatimah bint Muhammad, Aasiyah bint Mazaahim the wife of Pharaoh, and Maryam bint ‘Imraan – Radhiallaahu anhumaa ajma'een.))

(Reported in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad 2663 and it's Saheeh)

And also what was reported in Sunan at-Tirimdhee and is saheeh:

حسبك من نساء العالمين مريم ابنة عمران وخديجة بنت خويلد وفاطمة بنت محمد وآسية امرأة فرعون

((Sufficient for you among the women of the world are Maryam the daughter of ‘Imraan. Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid, Faatimah bint Muhammad and Aasiyah the wife of Pharaoh.))

But this does not negate the other women who have a high station in Islaam such as the other daughter of the Prophet salallaahu alaihi wa salam and his other wives.

For example he salallaahu alaihi wa salam said as was reported in the Saheeh of Bukaharee and Muslim and other than them:

أي الناس أحب إليك‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏‏عائشة‏‏‏‏ قال‏:‏ فمن الرجال‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏‏أبوها

((Who is the most beloved of the people to you? he said: "'Aa'ishah". I asked: And from the men?. He said: "Her father"))

Answer 3

The composer of this inquiry is correct. But the number of women seem to just be 2.

Narrated Abu Musa: Allah's Messenger(pbuh) said, "Many amongst men reached (the level of) prefection but none amongst women reached this level except Asiya, Pharoah's wife, and Maryam (Mary), the daughter of Imran. And no doubt, the superiority of Aishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. a meat and bread dish) to other meals." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/3411 (O.P. 623)]

Salaam!

Answer 4

I have also heard just the Khatoon-e-Jannat,Sayyadt-un-Nissail Alameen!

And thats for Bibi Zahra(sa).

I guess it can only be called as the same in English 'The 4 chosen women'.

guess it can be said as Khawateen-e-Jannat(guess only in my laguage).

and no good enough answers(including mine), but mostly to let you know you are wrong!

Answer 5

Hazrat Fatima Zahra (AS)

Leader of the Women of Paradise

Imam Al Hassan Ibn Ali Al Askari reported that his father quoted Jabir Ibn Abdullah as saying : ' The Messenger of Allah, Peace be Upon him and his cleansed progeny, said : ' When Allah created Adam and Eve, they strutted through paradise and said : ' Who are better than we ? ' At that moment they noticed an image of a girl like they had never seen before; from this girl came an illuminating light so bright that it almost blinded the eyes.

They said : ' O Lord, what is this ? ' He answered : ' This is the Image of Fatima ( as ), the mistress of your women descendants. '

Lisan Al Mizan Volume 3 page 346

Ibn Abbas said : ' Aisha entered the house while the Messenegr of Allah was kissing Fatima ( A.S. ), so she said : ' Do you love her, O Messenger of Allah ? '

He replied : ' Indeed, by Allah if you knew the extent of my love for her, your love would increase for her. When I was in the forth heaven ... that I found these dates softer than butter, more pleasent than musk and sweeter than honey. So when I descended to earth, I came unto Khadija and she bore Fatima. Thus Fatima is a human huri, whenever I long for paradise I smell her.

Narrated 'Aisha: I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allaah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Anas reports that the Messenger of Allaah, salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam, said: 'The best women of mankind are four: Mariam daughter of `Imraan, Assiya wife of Pharaoh, Khadija daughter of Khuwailid, and Fatima the daughter of the Messenger of Allaah.' [Bukhari and Muslim]

Answer 11

if you mean Islam in Glorious Quran then there is ONLY ONE,chosen one

[3:42] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you from all the women.

Answer 12

i believe so.

Answer 13

To give them a phrase does not matter. Allah has already made them a beautiful place in Paradise and that is all what matters to them and that is wat should touch us :)

I read this dua somewhere related to the 5 women of Paradise: May ALLAH give us the purity of Maryam (R.A), faith and memory of Aisha (R.A), love of Khadija (R.A), belief of Fatima (R.A), patience of Aasia (R.A) and the company of these in Jannah (AMEEN)

Answer 14

I don't know but I would like to say that I feel sorry for the people that answered these ridiculous answers and said that this is according to shia or blah blah blah. I really didn't bother reading all the answers but people watch your mouths, This is not according to shiaism it is according to Islam and God.

Good luck:)
