Umm Habibah may Allah be pleased with her is Umm al-Mu'minin Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, of Banu Umayyah, and her mother was Safiyyah bint Abi al-'As. She accepted Islam early and emigrated with her husband Ubayd Allah ibn Jahsh to Abyssinia. Then she remained firm on Islam after her husband became Christian there, so she became an example of steadfastness in exile and trial. Then the Prophet ﷺ married her while she was in Abyssinia, and this marriage had an important social and political effect: the daughter of Abu Sufyan, one of the leading men of Quraysh at the time, became one of the Mothers of the Believers. In this way hearts were brought closer, and a door was opened to affection after enmity.
