Episode notes
This lecture explores the story of Khawla bint Tha'labah (RA), whose plea against her husband's use of Zihar (a pre-Islamic practice of declaring a wife like one's mother to abandon her) led to the revelation of Surah Al-Mujadila, establishing divine laws protecting women's rights and prohibiting such abusive, exclusionary language.
