Trade
We have gone over trade in an episode guide in the past, but I would like to take the opportunity of trade being mentioned in this week's episode to post 2 additional maps that I have found since then.

Ka'aba
This video allows you to truly see how tall the Ka'aba, and more importantly how high the door is elevated from the ground, look at the size of the staircase required to access the Ka'aba!

The "Hatim" section, on the right hand side of the image, today is an open space and not really part of the Ka'aba structure. This is a remnant of Quraysh's renovation of the Ka'aba that we mentioned in this episode. Originally the Ka'aba was more rectangular, what today is the "Hatim" used to actually be part of the structure.

The 3 images above (taken from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfBfm7EgdS4) show what an ancient Ka'aba might have looked like.
Notice:
- the clearing between the Ka'aba and the first row of houses
- the idols populating the clearing, this is where people would sacrifice animals to their favourite idols
- the lows wall
- door is at ground level
- more rectangular structure

Hello! I enjoyed learning about Khadija, her success in business, and how other women navigated the systems of trade and culture by employing men as their agents representing them. I'd love to learn more about the women in Islamic society... What value did they bring to the society? Did their roles change and evolve, or was it fairly static throughout the Islamic timeline? Where there any female "role models" or leaders so to speak that other women or the community at large looked up to?
