GUIDANCE FOR MUSLIM WOMEN

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was extremely merciful upon the ummah. He said ’’You all are about to fall into the fire and I am holding your backs and preventing you from falling into it”.

Rasulullah’s Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam favor upon the Ummat was that he showed men and women the way to lead their lives.

 Here are a few Ahaadith advising women:

HADEETH 1. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that the woman who performed her five daily prayers and kept the fast of Ramadan and protected herself from evil acts i.e. adultery and obeyed her husband has a choice to enter heaven from whichever door she pleases. (HULYA)

HADEETH 2. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “A woman has two veils: the first is the husband and the second is the grave. The one that conceals more is the grave.” (TABRANI)

HADEETH 3. Nabi Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “A religious widow is addressed as a martyr in the heavens” i.e. she is remembered with the honorable title of a martyr in heaven for any act she performs.

 HADEETH 4. Ibn Abbas Radhiallahu anhu narrates that a woman came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and said: “I have come as a representative of all women.

We want to present a petition to you. Jihaad is fard (compulsory) on men and only they obtain the reward of martyrdom. We women are deprived of it although we take responsibility for all their domestic affairs”.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “Convey this message on my behalf to all the women that they can achieve the reward of jihad by obeying their husbands, but very few women consider this to be a reward.”
