She treated wounds and put herself in the service of Muslims who had nobody to take care of them. When Saad was shot with an arrow at the Battle of the Trench, the Messenger of Allah ( ) said to his Companions: put him in the tent of Rufa ida until I visit him soon. I define through the text features of the personality of Rufaida: Identity: Rufaida bint Saad AI-Aslamiya AI-Kha zrajiya AI-Ansaria; from the tribe of Aslam, one of AI-Khazraj tribes in Madinah, which was called Yathrib at the time.

The importance of the rule of women in society The roles of women in society in Islam : Al-Bukhari re porte d in his Sa h ih that Al-Ra b i ' b int Mu 'a wwa th ( ) sa id : "We were in the company of the Prophet (Peace be upon him ) providing the wounded with water and treating them and bringing the killed to Madinah (from the battle field )" . The hadith refers to the presence of other women who did the nursing , such as Asmaa bint Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (R.z.a ), Hafsa bin Omar bin AI-Khattab (R.Z.A ) and AI Shifa ' bint Abdullah bin Abd Shams AI-Qurashiya ( ).

The roles of U.A.E s women in society : Sheikh Zayed (: ) said : "My advice to UAE women is to take the Mothers of the Believers as role models in all deeds and behaviors in their lives." ) to
Benefits of volunteering work The value of volunteering work: Rufaida ( ) offered great humanitarian work and sought reward from Allah (SBT ) for serving Muslims, whether an ill person who needed medication, an injured person who needed treatment, an orphan who needed care or a family that needed support. She used to spend on her work from her own weal1'h, thereby volunteering her efforts and money. When the Prophet allall hu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of All h be upon him) was asked whether the verse in the Quran, And those who give whatever they (have to) give while their hearts are trembling referred to people who committed sins, he replied: No. They are those who fast, pray, and give charity whilst fearing that (these deeds) may not be accepted (by Allah). They are those who compete with one another in good deeds [Bukhari]. There s nothing like friendly competition to encourage people. The Prophet allall hu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of All h be upon him) knew this and utilised it himself to great effect in the battle of Hunain and during other occasions throughout his life. We should encourage Muslims to compete with each other in a way that encourages excellence whilst still fostering brotherhood. Each institution and each person must be motivated to do better, work harder, and sleep less so that they can be at the forefront of helping others.
