Thank you fo...Sanaa<br /><br />Wa alaykum salaam dear sister<br /><br />Thank you for your comment. I agree with you, there are so many perfect examples for us to follow from the Great women in Islam, the Mothers of the Believers and other women from the time of the Blessed Prophet (pbuh).<br /><br />What I meant by "men would need permission to talk to us" is specifically related to single women. Its the trend nowadays for men and women to openly speak to each other before marriage and even have relationships without the presence of any mahram. This takes away the elevated position Allah has given to a woman because when a man speaks openly to a woman without her mahram's knowing about it, it is much easier for him to take advantage of her. On the other hand, if her mahram is present as Islam states, then a man will think twice of taking advantage of a woman.<br /><br />I hope that I clarified this for you. <br /><br />I look forward to hearing more from you In Shaa Allah<br /><br />May Allah (swt) keep you in peace alwaysZarina Hassemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006581679493801167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-21519574076374929482014-01-10T21:56:10.924+02:002014-01-10T21:56:10.924+02:00Salama alayki sister, A thought provoking post ind...Salama alayki sister, A thought provoking post indeed.<br />I think many women are focused and have self value whilst doing many of the things you noted. I always look to the mother of the believers when searching for the best examples and I see it as a blessing from Allah ta Alaa they all were good women who possessed different qualities and possessed different personalities. Like you can take your pick or a few to imitate and strive to be like. Some were known for their beauty, some were known for their wealth other for their kindness, business ethic and all. I didn't understand what you said about what if we women practiced Islam to perfection, men would need to ask permission to speak toy us. Could you explain that?<br />I agree with many points you wrote and subhanAllah it is true if many of us knew the honor Allah has given us many of us would not put up with the many oppression's many of us encounter and are submitted to.<br />Education to me is always the key. From a women knows what Allah expects f her it makes it easy for us as women to strove to be the best we can regardless of those who try to put us down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-71440509743602670312013-12-24T15:53:32.067+02:002013-12-24T15:53:32.067+02:00Wa alaykum salaam sister Nur

It is true, our character should be what we are striving to perfect and as women we should not be dis-empowering ourselves by only placing worth on our physical appearance. Alhamdulillah for the beauty Allah has given us women, but it shouldn't define who we are.<br /><br />Stay well and peace be upon you alwaysZarina Hassemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006581679493801167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-64549437201651558912013-12-24T15:22:57.525+02:002013-12-24T15:22:57.525+02:00Assalamualaikum dear sister Zarina,
A nice fresh ...Assalamualaikum dear sister Zarina,<br /><br />A nice fresh look for your blog.<br />It is true that we should not be focusing too much on our physical appearance and neglect what is inside us or our submission to Allah.<br />When you are young everything surely look nice and beautiful but if your are old like me....Haha people will not even<br />take a second look at you. But if you have a good personal character Insha Allah even you are old, others will always remembered you and also even said you in their Dua...<br />Wassallam.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794990083537874434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-14070000488643454522013-12-24T13:59:14.548+02:002013-12-24T13:59:14.548+02:00Marie

This is not the way things should be.<br />We are beautiful as we are, the way God created us. So why do we keep trying to please men? Maybe because it is what society is teaching us (like you'll be full, you'll be respected, your life will mean something if you have a man in your life).<br />I think you're right we need to transform our relationship with others and concentrate on the only relationship that matters, our relationship with God.<br /><br />Take care dear friend and stay in peace. <br />MarieMy world of love and life - Mariehttp://lifeinharmonyandlove.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
