You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar. (Qur'an 33:21)

In The Wives of the Prophet Muhammad Faridah Debas provides an account of the Prophet�s matrimonial life in the light of the Qur�an and Sunnah while dispelling misrepresentations by Orientalists, which are commonly spread by the media in the US and in Canada, where Debas lives.

This book traces the Prophet�s marriages from his monogamous 25 year marriage to Lady Khadeejah, to his multiple marriages to the Mothers of the Believers after Khadeejah�s death. Debas contextualizes his marriages within his noble mission of spreading Islam, and illustrates the wisdom of the Prophet as a messenger of Allah and a devoted, loving husband.
