Umm Aiman | A Woman From the People of Paradise

Umm Aiman | A Woman From the People of Paradise

Umm Aiman is a beautifully illustrated and inspiring book authored by Sr. Nafees Khan, published by Goodword Books. With just 32 pages of captivating storytelling, it brings to life the remarkable journey of Barakah bint Tha’labah, famously known as Umm Aiman, one of the most beloved companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Born in Abyssinia and brought to Makkah as a slave, Umm Aiman’s life is a powerful reminder of resilience, faith, and devotion. She first served as a loyal maid to Aminah, the Prophet’s mother, and after her passing, became a maternal figure to young Muhammad (peace be upon him). The book traces her transformation—from slavery to freedom, from a servant to a believer, and ultimately to a woman promised Paradise.
