When Allah Most High Commanded
His Messenger Sallalahu Alaihe Wassalam To Preach
Islam Openly And To Call Upon All Of The People To
Worship Allah The One And Only
The Messenger Of Allah Obeyed His Lords
Command And Called Upon The People To Abandon
The Worship Of Idols And To Worship Allah Alone
When She Heard Of This New Religion,
Sawdah's Hear Was Opened To It And She Believed
In It And Believed The Message Which
Mohammad Sallalahu Alaihe Wassalam Brought.
This Was Not Strange For One Such As Sawdah R.A
For She Was A Pure-hearted Women Who Loved

The illness Became Worse And A Short Time Later,
He Died. Sawdah R.A Now Suffering From The Ordeal Of Widowhood, Having Previously Suffered From The Ordeal Of Living in A Faraway Land And She Had Lost The Man Who Supported Her And Her Children. She Had Four Children With Her.
Khawlah Bint Hakeem Wen To The House Of Zam'ah Bin Qais And Said To Sawdah R.A
" What A Great Goodness And Blessing Allah Has Bestowed Upon You "
She Said : What Is that ? Oh Khawlah ?
She Said : The Messenger Of Allah Sallalahu Alaihe Wassalam Has Sent Me To Propose Marriage To You ..
Sawdah R.A Was Overjoyed For She Would Be A Wife Of The Messenger Of Allah
She Consented immediatly And Said To Khawlah
Go To My Father And Tell Him About This.
So Khawlah Went To Zam'ah Bin Qais
Who Was A Very Old Man
And Greated Him With Salutions Of Peace
Which He Returned
And Then She Said To Him
Mohammed Bin Abdullah S.A.W
Has Sent Me To Propose Marriage To Sawdah
He Said :
A Noble Match !
What Does Your Companian(i.e sawdahR.A) Say ?
She Replies : She Likes It
He Said : Tell Him To Come ,
So The Messenger Of Allah Went To His House
Of Zam'ah And Sawdah R.A
And Sawdah Came To Him And Said :
My Affairs is in Your Hands O Messenger Of Allah
The Blessed Marriage Took Place In the Month Of Ramadan, in The Tenth Year Following The Starts Of The Prophetic Mission, With A Dowry Equivalent To Four Hundred Dirhams Having Been Agreed Upon.
Sawdah R.A in The House Of The Messenger Of Allah
She Moved into The House Of The Messenger
Of Allah And Became One Of The Mother Of The Believers, Because Any Women Who married The Prophet Became The Mother To The Believers By Allah The Most High's Command For He Sayes In His Mighty Book
" The Prophet Is Closer To The Believers Then Their Own Selves, And his Wives Are Their (Believers)Mother (As Regards Respect And Marriage)
