What Muslim women can learn from the case of Khaulah Bint Tha’labah, is to stand up to the challenges faced as part of (marital or single) life. This can be done by rising to the occasion with a strong will, trusting in Allah for eventual relief, and mustering up all of one's inner strength to take the “bull by its horns” so to speak, and to face the situation bravely until relief comes.
