S 66:5 Perhaps his lord if he divorced you would exchange for him husbands better than you, surrendering, believing, obedient, repentant, worshipping, fasting, matrons and virgins.

'[B]elieving' translates mu'minat. Likewise, we may also pose the question: Were they Muslimahs, 'those who surrender'?
