I All these souces are strong evidence that Alishals, knowledge was deep and well respected. She was an eye witness of many incidents the Qurlan had revealed. Her presence with the Prophet most of the time helped her to read the Qurlan in a correct way. Every night the Prophet was diligent in his prayers. He read long verses. Often she prayed with him. heard him reading. Hence, "'A-lisha relied on the holy Qurlan to give answers to matters concerning Jurisprudence. For example, she gave a clearer explanation of the Qurlanic, verse 2: 158 which had previously been obscure. The other case which has also been mentioned is the Qurlanic verse 4: 3 permitting polygamy and the connection between polygamy and the treatment of orphans, as was discussed in the second chapter.

Umm 'Abd Allah; Also, his brother, 'Arwah bin a-Zuhayr who is considered one of the best teachers in al-Madinah. There is also al-ýasim, her nephew, who grew up unbder her direction, and AbT Salama, her other nephew, Abd al-Rahrran 0 and MasrU*q and others, all of whom she raised in accordance with Islamic rules. 2 Giving legal advice to the companions was a further way in whichtK'isha participated in the public life of Muslims as well a as in religious af fairs.

An example is that-whengUmar bin al-KhatýCab was dying from a stab wound perpetrated by Abu lu'Luah al-%ugi, he sent his son, Abd Allah, asking permission from her to be buried beside the Prophet and Abil Bakr. Alisha answered, yes, most gladly. Then she added, "My lad, send my regards to your father and tell him to choose a caliph. (successor) since the Islamic nation should not be left without a shepherd and at a loss. I fear civil strife. " 2 Moreover, 71isha had an important role in Islamic society concerning the political life of the Islamic nation (Ummah) a clear indication that in the Islamic era, women played an important and active role in society, and were not shut away in their houses. C of Uthman 713-sha felt very angry on hearing of the murder - the third caliph. and demanded the punishment of the assassins right away. She was in Makkah and stood in the ELLr (near the northern wall of the Kalabah) and addressed the people from behind the screen.
