Women in Islam

Assalamu alikum sisters,

Sisters do not succumb to the fear displaced by ignorant cultural and societal practices that force you to shrivel away and be controlled. We muslim women, have been living under the foot for too long now and we must return to the ways of Islam that are the truth. We must return to the Islam brought to us by the Messenger (peace be upon him). We must return to the Islam that was given to us as a gift by our Lord. How? We have to educate ourselves. I say this to myself before anyone else.

You know how they say knowledge is power? It really is when you think about it. You can bring one down to his/her knees with the right words, and what words better than that in the Quran or the Sunnah? Allah has made men and women equal in Islam. No gender is better than the other. No race is better than the other. No status is better than the other. All that matters is how close you are to Allah as an obedient slave of His.

Allah has given men and women different responsibilities in different areas. At the same time He has also given different powers to men and women. As women, we must really utilize and realize these powers given to us. One of which is always considered weak, is the power of our emotions, the power of our hearts. I sincerely believe that Allah created women to be more emotional than men. At the same time Allah gave us women incredibly strong hearts. If and when used right, imagine how close we can be to our Lord in our submission to Him.

Do not be fooled sisters. There is no power greater than that of Allah's. The closer who are to Him, the better it is for you. The more tranquility you will feel, the more understanding you will have, the higher status you will achieve.

Lets educate ourselves on what Allah has said. I tell myself this before anyone else. Do help me achieve this too, as I will try and help you also.

I love you ladies for the sake of Allah :).
