Biography

About

Born around 590 into the Quraysh tribe, Zaynab bint Jahsh was Muhammad's first cousin and part of the inner circle of early Islam. She became his seventh wife, a union that carried weight both familial and theological. Muslims regard her as one of the Mothers of the Believers, a title given to Muhammad's wives that conferred religious authority and respect. She died in 641, a decade after Muhammad, having lived through Islam's formative years from Mecca to Medina.
