00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			A group of women from the tribe of
RIF came to the Prophet Muhammad,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			peace be upon him, asking if they
could tend to the wounded during
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			the Battle of khaybar. The
Prophet's response, peace be upon
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			him, was not to say, Why do you
want to be on a battlefield, or
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			are you trying to compete with
men? Instead, he, peace be upon
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			him, said by the blessings of God,
literally giving them his
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			blessing. Peace be upon him. With
them was a young girl. Her name
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			was umayyah bin space, and the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			had her sitting on his camel, and
there was also luggage nearby. As
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the camel sits down, she realizes
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			there's blood on the luggage. She
got her period, she's super
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			embarrassed, and she moves
forward, trying to cover the
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			traces of blood with her body. And
then the Prophet, peace be upon
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			him, sees what's going on, and he
sees the blood, and he so gently
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:59
			asks, perhaps you got your period?
To which she says, yes. Now so
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			many women that I know remember
embarrassing moments where they
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			bled somewhere in public without
realizing that they were on their
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			period, and even 10 or 15 years
later when they're laughing that
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			off, it's like it was so
embarrassing. I've never heard
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			someone say that moment made me
closer to God, but the Prophet
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			Muhammad, peace be upon him. So
lovingly, so with so much
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30
			nurturing, he teaches her the
thick of what to do, and then
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			later on, after the battle is
done, he comes to her PC upon him,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			and he puts around her neck and
necklace honoring her, cherishing
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			her, and she stipulated that she
didn't want to be buried except
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			with this necklace on her, getting
her period in front of the Prophet
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			Muhammad. Peace be upon him. Was a
moment in which she was mentored.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			It was a moment in which she was
nurtured and cherished as a young
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			daughter, as a young child.
Imagine the impact that had on her
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			relationship with herself, with
her self esteem, with the way that
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			she felt about Islam.
