			the great granddaughter of the
Prophet peace be upon him was the
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			teacher of Imam as Shafi kirima al
marwazia, the greatest Hadith
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			scholar in her time, was the
teacher of altibe and Ibn Hazm,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			not of the vahiris was taught by
AMR Abin Abdul Rahman, who Amr ibn
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			Abdullah Aziz ordered Ibn Hazm to
collect her Hadith. Zainab bint
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			mehki was the teacher of Ibn
Taymiyyah, and Satra was the great
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			scholar of sahih al Bukhari, and
she was invited to teach it in the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			greatest Masjid of Cairo at the
time, and in other venues where
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			very famous, revered scholars and
other influential men of the city
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			would go to attend her lectures,
there are so many women scholars
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			in our history. There are too many
1000s of them to talk about in
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			this very short video. But the men
who we revere, who we quote, who
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			we learned from, were taught by
women, and what a gift and an
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			honor it is to be a part of this
ummah where women's scholarship,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:29
			the tradition of women's voices,
is so preserved that we actually
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			have their accounts, their names,
the classes they taught, their
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			roster of students, all collected.
So when someone makes a statement
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			like, women are not supposed to
teach men, I know it's it's it's
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			history. There's just so much of
it, it's hard to keep track,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			right?
