Words to
My Muslim Sister
My Dear Sister,
Know that you are man's sister and half of
humanity. You are a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, grand
daughter or grand mother. The Prophet said, what translated
means, Women are, indeed, men's partners. [Abu Dawood].
You are a member of the great nation of Islam, the best nation
ever produced for mankind. No other nation on earth has more
great men, leaders and conquerors than this nation. It is the
nation of guidance and the straight religion, and it leads
humanity to righteousness and truth. It transforms people from
worshippers of slaves to worshippers of the Lord of slaves, from
life's pressures to the pleasures of the Life after, and from
the injustice of other religions to the justice of Islam.
Your ancestors, great women of Islam, were
one of the main reasons for this great nation to take this great
place among all nations. Allah, Who granted Islam to this
nation, made a high place for Muslim women, and decreed that
they share in the responsibilities of enjoining truth,
forbidding evil and raising the flag of Islam. He said, what
translated means, The believers, men and women, are
loyalists of one another, they enjoin righteousness and forbid
evil, they offer their prayers perfectly and give the Zakat, and
obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will leave His Mercy on
them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. [9:71]
Allah has given Muslim women what they can
bare of orders and duties. He is the God Who knows His creation,
Should He not know what He created? And He is the Most Kind,
All-Aware (of everything). [67:14].
My dear sister, you are called upon today
to truly become an active member of the Muslim nation, strive to
establish victory for Allah's Word, implement the Quran and help
build the generation of Iman.
What Do Your Enemies Want From You?
There are those who want to distract you
from doing your duty. They want to distract you from meeting
your noble obligation, that is, to defend the religion of Allah
and raise His Word high. Those enemies use many methods:
First: They distract you from
what Allah created you to perform of worship, belief and Da'wah
(propagating Islam). They use this worldly life as their bate:
Jewelry stores, fashions that originate in non-Muslim countries,
new models all the time, desires raised, hunger that can never
be satisfied, pleasures and competition for them and endless
ways for joy. Allah did not create us for this. Indulging in
these matters is usually accompanied by wasting time and money
and igniting enmity and competition between the rich and the
poor.
Second: They ignite enmity
between you and man. To those sinners, you are a daughter that
is put down, a humiliated mother, an abused wife and an
oppressed sister! Men are always unjust, hypocrites, dictators,
freedom- preventers and suppressers, according to them. There is
a fabricated war that those evil ones are starting for no reason
other than to direct you to rebel against your father, be
arrogant with your brother and disobedient to your husband. They
do not call for justice, mercy and unity. They call for hatred,
arrogance and destruction.
Third: They do not stop at their
call for rebellion against parents, brothers and husbands,
rather, they plot against Islam. They call upon you to rebel
against the obligations of Islam and the decrees of the
All-Knowing King. Islam, to them, is unjust and Islamic laws are
imperfect and restrictive. They call upon you, day and night, to
rebel and insist on the disobedience of this religion. They try
to rid you of your religion. They try to rid you of comfort and
safety under generous parenthood, happy marriage and good
brotherly relations.
Those devils portray piety and honor as
chains on freedom. To them, Hijab does not cover the head, but
also covers the mind; prayer, fasting and Zakat are a waste of
time and effort; and obedience to husbands is slavery and a
retum to the stone age. They distorted all facts and changed all
truths, all to serve their evil goals.
Dear Sister,
The goals that your enemies and the
enemies of your religion are seeking to achieve are well known.
They want you to be available for them to fulfill their evil
desires whenever they wish. They want you to be a mistress that
has no honor. They want you to be found everywhere, on roads and
in places of sin, without honor, religion or manners. They seek
for you only what they want you to do. The Western world has
gone through this all. Women of the West are the part of society
that is facing injustice and dishonor. They strive to please men
who keep changing partners and seek pleasures but with no
responsibility and no consideration of the evil consequences of
their sinful actions.
O Muslim sister, read and know about those
women who discarded shyness and honor and followed their
desires, what was the result of their deeds? Was their end
honorable and desirable, or was it a shameful and hated end?
Advice For My Sister In Islam
Be proud of your religion and the religion
of your ancestors. Be a good example for your sons and daughters
and sincere in your belonging to this mighty nation. Know that
honor is an honor to all wise people, and that adultery is
dishonorable to all nations, even if some called it freedom.
Know that adultery is also done with the eyes by seeing, with
the ears by listening, and with the mouth by kissing, as was
mentioned in a Hadith related by Imam Muslim. Your happiness is
in being an obedient and believing daughter, a loyal and
generous wife and a pious and merciful mother. Know that prayer
is the cornerstone of Islam. Fasting one day, for the sake of
Allah, takes your face seventy years away from Hellfire, as the
Hadith, related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, states. Charity is a
major cause for gaining forgiveness and for repentance to be
accepted. Those women who are showing parts of their bodies to
men, will not enter Paradise or smell its fragrance and are
cursed, as in the Hadith related by Imam Muslim. Hijab is an
honor and protection for you. Hijab must be modest in color and
not exotic, wide and thick and not revealing, different from the
dress of non-Muslim women and men.
My Dear Sister,
These are words from the heart. These are
words of good and sincere advice. Beware of the loyalists of
Satan who want to lead you astray. Be a slave of Allah,
righteous and decendent of righteous women and know your role in
building this great nation. Perform your duty and do not be a
cause for destruction. Be a maker of righteous generation that
will lead mankind, again, to what is right and proper, to the
great religion of Islam.
