Women Are Like Stars In The Sky

“Your smiling at your sister is (an act of) charity.”

The righteous Muslim woman is the one who treats her husband kindly and obeys him after obeying her Lord. The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) praised such women and regarded them as the ideal wives that men should look for. When the prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) was asked which woman is best, he said: “The one who makes him (her husband) happy when he looks at her, who obeys him when he tells her to do something, and who does not oppose him in a manner that he dislikes with regard to herself or his wealth.”

When Allāh, the Exalted, revealed the words,
“… And those who hoard up gold and silver (al-kanz: the money, the Zakāh of which has not been paid)…” [Qur’an 9:34]

‘Umar went out, and Thawbān (may Allāh be pleased with them) followed him. Umar came to the prophet (Blessings and peace be upon him) and said: “O’ Prophet of Allāh, this verse has made your Companions worried.” The prophet said: ” Shall I not tell you of something that is a man’s treasure? A righteous woman who pleases him when he looks at her, when he tells her to do something, she obeys him, and if he is away from her, she is faithful.”

The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) stated that a woman’s admission to Paradise depends on whether her husband is pleased with her. It was narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allāh said: ‘Any woman who dies when her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.'” So be such a woman and you will be happy.

“There is room for you in the first row, provided you do your best to be proficient in all that you do.”
