Quick fact: The first woman to embrace Islam after Hazrat Khadija (RA) was Hazrat Labala bint Haris (RA).

Explanation

After the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the first revelation, Hazrat Khadija (RA) was the very first person to accept Islam. Following her, several early converts embraced the faith, and among the women, Hazrat Labala bint Haris (RA) holds the distinction of being the first woman to accept Islam after Hazrat Khadija (RA). She was among the earliest Muslims known as the Sabiqoon al-Awwaloon (the foremost in faith).

Good to know

Hazrat Labala bint Haris (RA) was the wife of Hazrat Uthman ibn Maz'un (RA), who was also among the early converts to Islam. The early Muslim community in Makkah consisted of a small but devoted group of believers who faced severe persecution from the Quraysh. Knowing the order of early converts is important for understanding the development of the Muslim community during the Makkan period.
