Assalamu alaikum and welcome to Whispers with Zi, a space for calm reflection and gentle storytelling about the women who shaped Islam with faith and grace. In this episode, we journey into the life of Hafsah bint Umar (RA) — the daughter of Umar ibn al-Khattab and the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. Known for her intelligence, devotion, and unwavering strength, Hafsah’s story is one of resilience, discipline, and deep faith. She was the woman entrusted with the written copy of the Qur’an — a guardian of Allah’s words, chosen for her purity of heart and firmness of spirit. Through her life, we learn that strength can live beautifully within a soft heart, and that true devotion is not loud, but steadfast. This is the story of Hafsah bint Umar (RA), the woman who carried the Qur’an in her care and the light of faith in her soul.
