At the height of the Abbasid Empire, when Baghdad stood as the centre of power and learning, Zubayda bint Ja'far lived at the heart of empire-as the wife of Caliph Harun al-Rashid and a witness to its moral contradictions.

At the height of the Abbasid Empire, when Baghdad stood as the centre of power and learning, Zubayda bint Ja'far lived at the heart of empire-as the wife of Caliph Harun al-Rashid and a witness to its moral contradictions. From within the palace, she saw both the splendour of rule and the cost at which it was sustained. When an elderly woman named Hababeh arrives bearing memory rather than wealth, Zubayda is drawn into a lineage of stories rarely granted space in historical record. Through these accounts emerge women whose faith endured under persecution: Umm Ayman who stood beside the Prophet, Sumayya the first martyr of Islam, and others who defended the Household of the Prophet and safeguarded the Imams when power sought to erase them. These narratives reveal a consistent truth-women, often bound to unjust men or violent systems, retained moral independence through unwavering loyalty to the true guides of Islam: the Prophets and the Ma'¿¿m Imams. Their courage was not accidental, but born of proximity to truth and an instinctive need to protect it. Grounded in authentic Islamic tradition and written with historical discipline, Voices of the Veiled Age restores to view the women whose fidelity preserved guidance itself, offering a compelling meditation on faith, conscience, and the quiet courage that shapes history long after empires fall.
