Steadfastness

Hazrat Umme Haani (ra) accepted Allah and His Messenger (sas) wholeheartedly with pure intentions and remained steadfast.

Even though her husband deserted her for accepting Islam, no worldly force or relation could budge her from her beliefs. She was left with the sole responsibility of raising her four children and educating them. However, she handled the situation with unwavering courage and commitment, and held on to Almighty Allah. Hazrat Umme Haani’s (ra) husband, who was a distinguished poet, warned her through his poetry about the adversities that came with accepting Islam. He tried to convince her that following the religion of the Prophet (sas) entailed merely a tough life of hunger and homelessness, but Hazrat Umme Haani (ra) truly believed that it was the right path.
