Muhammad's wives
The 13 women married to Muhammad and brief outlines of the circumstances of the marriages.
Eleven women were confirmed to be married to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Muslims use the term Umm al-Mu'minin (Arabic: أم ٱلْمُؤْمِنِين; meaning 'Mother of the Believers' from Quran 33:6[1]) before or after the names of Muhammad's wives as a sign of respect.[2]
