The first woman to embrace Islam after Hazrat Khadija (R.A) was Lubaba bint Haris (R.A), also known as Umm al-Fadl. She was among the earliest believers and holds the honor of being one of the first women to accept the message of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during the very beginning of Islam in Makkah.

Lubaba (R.A) was the wife of Hazrat Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib (R.A), the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ. Her acceptance of Islam came at a time when doing so meant facing great hardship, social pressure, and even persecution. Despite this, she declared her faith with strong conviction and stood firm on the path of Islam.

She is considered the second woman to enter Islam after Hazrat Khadija (R.A), based on historical narrations from early Islamic sources. Her early conversion and commitment made her one of the key female figures in the early Muslim community.
