Her Migration To Abyssinia 

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

Goodness And Anyone Who Possesses Such traits Will Naturally Be Drawn Towards The Religion Of Islam, Because It Is A Religion Of Goodness And Purity.

The Death Of Her Husband

While in Abyssinia,As-Sakran Bin Amr Fell ill And When He And His Family Returned To Makkah,

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)

(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:6 )

After The Death Of The Prophet S.A.W

She Did Not Even go To perform Hajj And She Would Say
