………………………………………………………………………………… 23 O, Dear Sister …..
I
write to you, full of pain of what criminals and unbelievers (kafirs) caused to
you …… O, Dear Sister …..
I write with a burning ache in my heart, out of care, concern and
defense to you….. and I see the effects of the enemies in you….. O, Dear Sister …..
I write to you feeling choked to see you a toy in the hands of criminals
….. O, Dear Sister …..
I write and my heart is deeply aching that I have recognized the effect
of the immoral media on you, which had made you its prisoner, changing you as
it wishes …..
I write to you with pain, not with a pen while I illustrate the
sacrifices of the religious leaders, martyrs and the wisdom throughout history,
who delivered Islam to you to save your dignity and honor ….. while you are
giving up all these sacrifices and blood for the kafirs and !!!!! O, Dear Sister …..
If you don’t pity yourself, feel ashamed from your God …..
If you weren’t religious, at least be of the dignified people ……
If you don’t care for yourself, respect the past generations and the
muslims
around you …..
If you weren’t truthful with yourself, don’t give up the following
generations...
If you weren’t helpful for your religion and the religious, don’t be
against
them …. that they be insulted infront of your eyes and slaughtered …..
then
comes your turn …. O, Dear Sister …..
If you weren’t religiously committed …… be respectful. And a final word: Dear sister …… Don’t make God your
opponent.
Yours Zealously
﴾ O Prophet ! Say to your wives: If you
desire this world’s life and its adornments, then come, I will give you a provision
and allow you to depart a goodly departing (28) And if you desire Allah and His
Apostle and the latter abode, then surely Allah has prepared for the doers of
good among you a mighty reward (29) O wives of the prophet ! Whoever of you
commits an open indecency, the punishment shall be increased to her doubly, and
this is easy to Allah (30) And whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His
Apostle and does good, We will give to her reward doubly and we have prepared
for her an honorable sustenance (31) ﴿
The Allies (28-31)
ÇáÃÍÒÇÈ
In
the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Gracious
There
was no way to prevent me to write, after it became a required duty, to be
questioned about by God in the day-after. Grace Him, He is the Revengous Zealous. And in the holy text: “God is zealous,
and loves every zealous person”. And the Prophet (PBUHH) said: “My father
Abraham was zealous, and I’m zealous from him, and God degrades the religious
who aren’t zealous”. O,
Dear Sister ….. Watch the way you
dress, and don’t wear what reflects the attention of the degraded and
low people; those who wish to flirt with you, so you become a free gazing-stock
to them!!! Protect yourself with dignified clothing
and the spiritual veil “hijab” which your God privileged you with, and it was
for nothing but your benefit as He isn’t in need to you. Leave the clothes which show parts of
your body, and the short clothing that doesn’t give you anything but shame and separation
from God; moreover, the flimsy transparent clothes, which turn heads around
you, and the tight clothes, which reveal your honorable body parts, so it
becomes tempting to others…. (This not only concerns females, but also in many
cases, the males as well). Also, be aware, if you weren’t an For
what contradicts God’s legislation holds no good whatever titled or given
excuses for…. Infact, it is satan’s embellishment. And my dear respectful sister, you have
to avoid, what has become widely spread, from revealing wedding and celebration
dresses and what is called “mawled” (nativity)…. Even if you were only with
women, as much of these is inappropriate clothing…. which is only permissible
infront of your husband… True, it is allowed for women to reveal certain body
parts infront of other women, but not in a way that humiliates you infront of
them…. This is given the title of “fashionable clothing”, which is defined as
unsuitable clothing in shape, color and embroidery…. And it is so strange what is being said:
that everything becomes permissible in such occasions!!! As you see women
transforming, in an hour, into “super models”; not only that, but also they
“burst” into dancing actions and screams of what they call chanting or
singing…. And the aware and respectful girl, and
with no effort, feels the sense of “vengeance” that such women exhibit, as if
they are revenging to what the religion has legislated on them!! O, Gracious Al-Mighty, highly exalted are
You, above what they ascribe. My
kind sister, Similar to what has just been mentioned,
is the “swim suit” wore in the ladies’ pools and special places…. Some is
improper unless for the husband, while others are indecent at all…. Restrict
yourself with the appropriate…. And she who is just, fair and of innate
qualities won’t do wrong…. My
dear sister, To give the advice its due for full, it
is necessary to reflect your attention to “high heels” which alarm people on
the streets, building entrances, in big halls or selling shops…. if you walked on marble or similar floors. God Al-Mighty said: ﴾ And let them not strike their
feet so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known ﴿. The Light-31
(ÇáäæÑ) O, Dear Sister….. Preserve the Islamic veil which God has privileged you
with, as it is your inviolable fortress, for your hair is one of the beauty
aspects in you. Also, you
have to wear loose, flowy clothes which don’t particularize your body,
especially the beauty areas….. as this is the right Islamic veil. God
Al-Mighty said: ﴾ O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and
the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments;
this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be
given trouble ﴿. The Allies-59 (ÇááÃÍÒÇÈ)
There is no problem with wearing trousers under the
clothes in the intention of concealing oneself; as it was told that a woman was
on top of a donkey, and it fell, so the woman fell as well, and the Prophet
(PBUHH) shunned his face away; so his companions said: O Prophet, she’s wearing
trousers, he said: “God forgive the women who wear trousers, three times….Fellow
people, do wear trousers as it is the most concealing and preservative of your
clothes, and protect your women by wearing them, if they go out”. O, Dear Sister….. Avoid the exhalation of odors which tempt the others,
if you walked by them, or were in class, a teacher or student, or in a
congregation or in the elevator…. as how many times did your odor arouse the
men!!! You have
to be totally precautious when using perfumes or scents outside your home,
whether used directly or indirectly: ‘Directly’ is when you put it intentionally on your
clothes and body. And ‘Indirectly’ is what remains within the clothes from
previous usages, and such clothes are wore without paying attention to their
scents. So, my
chaste sister, if you wanted to wear perfume, don’t go out of your home or
change your clothes or wear the perfume whose scent fade away quickly, as what has
been said that women’s scent has color but no odor. While she
who becomes an infatuation for males, is whom the Prophet (PBUHH) had said
about: “Whichever woman who is scented and passes by a group, and they smell
her scent, she is an adulteress”. Mezan al hikma- hadeeth 11034 O, Dear Sister….. Avoid wearing make-up and embellishments as they are
of the greatest infatuations in human societies, and the precursors to
adultery, God forbid us. So, don’t
wear make-up and go out for the ill and evil of men could be dangerously
tempted, and how many crimes had happened because of women’s adornments?! Concerning
the arts of adornments widely spread these days, they have become countless:
from lipsticks to blush powders to eye-liners, to what changes the eye-color,
to what has become popular lately from products which change the nature of
certain organs as the lips and others…. Your
Grateful God said: ﴾ And say to believing women that they cast down their
looks and guard their private parts and do not display their ornaments except
what appears thereof… ﴿. The Light-31 (ÇáäæÑ) However,
the products which show no external effects are permissible. From the
most prevalent features of embellishments is wearing rings, of different sizes
and shapes; and sadly, this has become really apparent even among the “faithful
believers”…. who you see on them signs of the Islamic veil….. but wearing in
their fingers many rings at the same time!!! O…. We
belong to God and to God we shall return. O, Dear Sister….. While walking, don’t swing or slant to the right or
left as does, God forbid, the actresses, the low women and the top-models. Don’t do
alertive movements or actions, or even dreaming glances, and don’t talk or
laugh with a loud voice; moreover, don’t over-move your hands and body and
avoid attractive smiles… Infact,
the conventional rules of behavior for women and men are alike: Lower
one’s eye-sight, equipoised walking, respect and tranquility and humble
walking. God Al-Mighty said: ﴾ And the servants of the Beneficent God are they who
walk on the earth in humbleness ﴿. The Criterion-63 (ÇáÝÑÞÇä); i.e., they
are humble and lenient with people. And He
said also: ﴾ And pursue the right course in your going about and
lower your voice ﴿. Luqman-19 (áÞãÇä) Also, never giggle and swagger, for the
land with what’s beneath it and above it would curse you. God
Al-Mighty said: ﴾ And don’t turn your face away from people in contempt,
nor go about in the land exulting overmuch ﴿. Luqman-18 (áÞãÇä); i.e., exceeding moderation limits, which is prevalent
by thoughtlessness, the actions, sayings, movements…. and walking particularly. O, Dear Sister…..
Pay attention to your sitting manner infront of people in public places, if you sit on a
chair, or on the ground or on the wall-side… Don’t
straighten your legs or raise them even if you were wearing trousers under your
clothes. Sit in the manner which preserves your decency, prestige and esteem. And it is out of Islamic morals not to sit
in suspicious places, and in public streets under the eye-sight of strangers,
and don’t be late when you go out to shopping malls. O, Dear Sister….. Don’t attenuate in your speech by pronouncing words
indifferently: as intending to speak with a certain accent or slant language
or…. Your
Al-Mighty God said: ﴾ be not soft in your speech, lest
he in whose heart is a disease yearn﴿. The Allies-32 (ÇááÃÍÒÇÈ) Avoid too much talking, joking and
laughing… because if done frequently among men and women leads to inclemency,
loss of piety, increase in sins, faults, blames and boredom…. Also my
sister, avoid using words in a different language that yours intentionally just
to alert other people’s attention to you and your multi-linguistics!! Sadly,
this has become widely spread among the “believers”, for instance using words
as: Merci, Salut, Bonjour, Bonsoir, Au revoir, etc….. O, Dear sister….. Don’t allow and accept that people call you
with silly and ignorant nicknames as: Moni, Roro, Sou Sou, FiFi, Mimo, and Zizi. Don’t
accept to become known, among people in your community, with such names, since
you would lose their respect and be certain that you are not a child anymore. Sadly, even
the religious names, dear sister, have been replaced by such ignorant
nicknames, as: The
gracious name “ And the
gracious name “Zeinab” became Zaza, And the gracious
name “Khadija” became Dada, And the
gracious name “Sumaya” became Semsem, And the
gracious name “Mariam” became Roro. By
following such acts, we are encouraging the unbelievers’ rites, which are
islamically forbidden. And It is
God Al-Mighty who said: ﴾ And say to my servants that they
speak that which is best; surely the shaitan sows dissensions among them;
surely the shaitan is an open enemy to man ﴿. The Israelites-53 (ÇáÅÓÑÇÁ) And He
also said: ﴾ And when they hear idle talk
they turn aside from it and say: We shall have our deeds and you shall have
your deeds; peace be on you, we don’t desire the ignorant ﴿. The
Narrative-55 (ÇáÞÕÕ) It is
recommended as well to have a look at the booklet titled “The Blessed Names
for the Delighted Eyes” which contains hundreds of beautiful and
appropriate names. O, Dear Sister…..
Avoid what is supposedly known as
“admiration” to the
corrupted and unbelieving characters from singers and dancers or what is known
as “artists”…. since who loves a certain group of people is crammed with them….
God forbid you from them in life and the after-life. God
Gracious said: ﴾ Say: everyone acts according to
his manner ﴿. The Israelites-84 (ÇáÅÓÑÇÁ) And He
also said: ﴾ Unclean things are for unclean
ones and unclean ones are for unclean things, and the good things are for good
ones and the good ones are for good things ﴿. The Light-26 (ÇáäæÑ)
And Imam Ali (A.S) said: “Never love God’s enemies, or
be sincere to other than God’s loyalists, as he who loves a certain group of
people is crammed with them”. Mezan al hikma - hadeeth 3060
So how about you dear sister, with your admiration to
those who corrupt the land and are not ashamed of showing their sins but infact
they encourage it and protect it….. How can
you combat with God Al-Mighty by putting their defaced pictures on your books,
notebooks or on the walls of your bedroom?! Doesn’t
such an act shed off your coyness and timidity?! Do you
fear the people and God is the One who is worth your fear?! And it is He who
said: ﴾ Have you not seen those who be-friend a people with whom Allah
is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear falsely while
they know (14) Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment; surely what
they do is evil (15) They make their oaths to serve as a cover so they turn
away from Allah’s way; therefore they shall have an abasing chastisement (16)
Neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them aught against Allah;
they are the inmates of the fire, therein they shall abide (17) On the day that
Allah will raise them up all, then they will swear to Him as they swear to you,
and they think that they have something; surely they are the liars (18) The
shaitan has gained the mastery over them, so he has made them forget the
remembrance of Allah; they are the shaitan’s party; now surely the shaitan’s
party are the losers (19) Surely (as for) those who act in opposition to Allah
and His Apostle; they shall be among the most abased (20) Allah has written
down; I will most certainly prevail, I and My Apostle; surely Allah is Strong,
Mighty (21) You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and the latter day
befriending those who act in opposition to Allah and His Apostle, even though
they were their own fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their
kinsfolk; these are they into whose hearts He has imposed faith, and whom He
was strengthened with an inspiration from Him; and He will cause them to enter
gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein; Allah is well pleased with them
and they are well pleased with Him; these are Allah’s party; now surely the
party of Allah are the successful one (22) ﴿ . The Pleading One, 14-22 (ÇáãÌÇÏáÉ) Is the
true muslim’s ambition satisfied with the singer or dancer? I fear for
a day in which you say: ﴾ O! Would that I were dust! ﴿ . The Great Event-40 (ÇáäÈÃ) O, Dear Sister…..
Avoid what has become known these days as
“Love”, which is
an unveiled or masked type of abuse and corruption, which encourages male and
female youngsters to commit faults and sins…. While true
love is a good noble deed for which the person is rewarded, when coming from a
true and honest intention…. to build an Islamic family on the supplications of
Allah and His Apostle. So dear
sister, don’t listen to those who beautify words and tempt you with phrases of
lust and admiration…. just to spend his time with what he desires, and then he
turns his back and forgets you. O, Dear Sister…..
It is inappropriate that you receive and welcome male guests, when you are alone at home…. Also, it is
inappropriate that you serve them by offering drinks or sweets…… and don’t hold
long courteous conversations with them…. excuse yourself out of such a
situation by apologizing and don’t feel shy.
However, what happens in our societies today is from
the evil customs which we imported from the evil countries… and this is why
corruption and depravity are augmenting, God forbid us. God
Al-Mighty said: ﴾ And when you ask of them any goods, ask them from
behind a curtain, this is purer for your hearts and for their hearts ﴿. The Allies-53 (ÇááÃÍÒÇÈ)
And in a text for Imam Ali (A.S) to his son Imam
Hassan (A.S): “The strong commitment to the veil is much better for you and the
women, than falling in suspicions, and them (the women) leaving the house is as
important as the entrance of people you don’t trust on them, and if you were
able to prevent them from knowing males other than you, do it”. The O, Dear Sister…..
Avoid sleeping outside your home….. unless it was for an emergent or special case; only
exceptionally and rarely. Avoid it
because your home is more safe for you since you know all its exits and
corners… and it is not good that you become known as a person who easily sleeps
outside the home….. to preserve your religion and life…. And because such an
act facilitates others to approach and reach you…. Away from the supervision,
experience and care of your parents…. However,
if you exceptionally had to sleep outside for a certain work, travel or other
reason, get introduced to the entrances, exists, ablution places and toilets,
and supply yourself with all your needs for your prayers and others, before you
intend to remove your clothes off….. and pay attention to that a lot. What is known as “Friend ship” O, Dear Sister…..
Be cautious from what is known as
“friendships” between
males and females….. imitating by this what is shown in the media and movies….
Because friendship in such circumstances is illusional, and infact it is a
shield…… “innocent” just to earn sallies and desires….
And what happens around us is a just witness on this. But the
true, honest friend is he who protects you, advices you and prefers you on
himself, for the good of your life and the after-life. But he who
entertains himself with you as done with others…. and declares dissoluteness….
And boasts in sins…. is more an enemy that a friend. O, Dear Sister…..
Don’t watch corrupted and dissolute movies which are presented on the television and cinemas,
these days….. because and under the feeling that it is my Islamic
responsibility, I honestly speak to tell you that these movies teach adultery,
committing crimes, dishonesty, impudence, impatience, precipitance and
disdaining other people’s rights and facilitates sins. It also
removes timidity among children….. and between them and their parents…. Also, our
surrounding is a just witness of these results. How about
if boys and girls sat side-by-side to watch such disgraceful scenes and
shameless sights?!! Forgive us
our Lord: ﴾ Corruption has appeared in the
land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may
make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return ﴿. The Romans-41
(ÇáÑæã) And we
ask: Why do crimes and diseases widely spread?!!! O, Dear Sister…..
Don’t attend mixed parties because it is an “inventive” method to pick up girls, trap
them in one’s net… to seclude with them…. or depart them away from their
parents in a “unique manner”…. Anyway,
such parties have a shameless and crazy nature…. and it is self-witnessed for
those who are honest with themselves: ﴾ Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who
has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness ﴿. Qaf-37 (ÞÇÝ)
Such parties will harm you sooner or later because: You are losing
your future by standing to the side of God’s enemies… And you are losing your present by humiliating
yourself in the eyes of the fellows surrounding you, who tempted and used you….
and made you cry….. So from
any corner you think about it, you will be the loser if you were a “party fan”
for: ﴾ who will
then help me against Allah if I disobey Him? Therefore you don’t add to me
other than loss ﴿. Hud-63 (åæÏ) O, Dear Sister…..
Be very careful from far trips that require days and nights, and the long ones too…
especially since male-female associations and medleys, which are forbidden,
have become obligatory…. and other dangers are also probable…. and what has
reached us from situations does not indicate welfare… This
includes the “visiting trips” to the holy shrines which should preserve at
least, the least level of morals, good actions, sincerity and noble conduct to
achieve what is wished for, from spirituality and attention…. This also
includes “school trips” which, almost all of them, have become islamically
forbidden, and the little left are suspicious…. Infact they became the sites
for people with bad intentions… who actually plan to make use of them…. to do
what isn’t permissible in the school campus!!! Where infront of the
supervisors, dancing, singing, forbidden touches, strange actions and brazen
laughs become permissible… of course, out of “innocent and good intentions”!!!
because they are all “friends”!!! The truth is that they make use of you for
entertainment to spend their time with you for one day!!! Did you forget that: ﴾ On that day you shall be exposed to view- no secret of yours
shall remain hidden ﴿. The Sure Calamity-18 (ÇáÍÇÞÉ) In our
days, such trips have become widely spread for different occasions as “Eid”,
school holidays, summer vacations, week ends, etc… And he who
has no reason for a trip “invents” one!!!
﴾ These are who make mischief in the land and don’t act aright ﴿. The
Poets-152 (ÇáÔÚÑÇÁ) Kind and Courteous Actions between people
O, Dear Sister…..
If you were engaged or married, God bless you, as your husband is legitimate on you
and you are as well on him…. and both of you are rewarded and granted for every
action, movement or word by the will of God and His Strength….. But: Don’t do
what is special for both of you…. infront of other people, as others do,
because it scratches your modesty and ventures others on you…. Actions as
touching, hugging, kissing, feeding each other, winking, putting one’s head on
the other’s chest or lap and others…. All of these
actions are permissible for both of you when you are alone… not by becoming a
“play” or “show” for people, since God Al-Mighty forbade the entrance of the
forbidden people on you, until they take permission for the entry to protect
you. O, Dear Sister…..
If your husband remarried…. I won’t speak for long here, for the sensitivity of
this subject and its need for a detailed explanation; therefore, I can say
briefly:
1-
Don’t say about the Prophet’s
prescribed rule, of re-marriage, that it is out of dishonesty to remarry….
because it is an honor. Sadly, and too sadly, for what is being published,
said and translated, that a second marriage is a marital cheat and dishonesty: ﴾ a grievous
word it is that comes out of their mouths; they speak nothing but a lie ﴿. The Cave-5 (ÇáßåÝ)
2-
Don’t seclude yourself from your
religion by saying what you are not supposed to say, by just following the
desires of your spirit and don’t leave in your heart ﴾ do not allow any spite to remain in our hearts towards those
who believe ﴿. The Banishment-10 (ÇáÍÔÑ)
3-
Don’t be a free and cheap bugle
to the talkative, curious, back-stabbers, envious women and people… those who
care about “your benefit”!!! God forbid us from the devils of man and demon (jinn):
﴾ some of them suggesting to others varnished falsehood to
deceive them ﴿. The Cattle-112 (ÇáÃäÚÇã)
4-
Care for your husband’s religion and commitment to his
after-life and don’t be selfish…. And
resemble that good woman who said to her husband: “I swore to God that you
won’t enter hell because of me”. O, Dear Sister…..
If you were divorced or a widow…. Don’t get affected by the actions and sayings of the
insolents surrounding you… as they are: Either ignorant,
or silly, or psychologically ill, or they want to prove their manhood, as they
think!!! As long as
you are maintaining your behavior, conduct and respect, don’t surrender to the
“emotional embezzlement” from some “jealous” and “courteous” people or
co-workers or their bosses… even if it was costly, but surrendering is even
more costy….. God help you, stand by you and guide you. And always
remember that God Al-Mighty said: ﴾ Surely they who concocted the
lie are a party from among you. Do not regard it an evil to you; nay, it is
good for you. Every man of them shall have what he has earned of sin….. When you
received it with your tongues and spoke with your mouths what you had no
knowledge of, and you deemed it an easy matter while with Allah it was
grievous…. Allah
admonishes you that you should not return to the like of it ever again if you
are believers…. Surely as
for those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe,
they shall have a grievous chastisement in this world and the hereafter…. Surely
those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware of the evil, are cursed in
this world and the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement. On
the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet shall bear witness
against them as to what they did ﴿. The Light, 11-24 (ÇáäæÑ) O, Dear Sister…..
From the issues that you hear about a lot in our
communities and maybe you are working for is what is known as “Women’s rights”. With no
doubt, the gracious Islamic religion has given all the people their rights, and
legislated for them their laws, and specified the good from the bad for all the
human kind, males and females, what benefits them and what doesn’t….. even if
enemies denied this. So it is
natural for Islam to have given the woman all her rights…. and there is no need
to keep on repeating this phrase that we hear a lot. But the
danger from which you should be warned against is:
Some of the people in our societies and surroundings imitate the west’s culture,
style, knowledge and sayings…. maybe without them feeling it! Or they
want a stage to speak out from or a title to hold…. so they find “women’s
rights” as a suitable savior.
1-
It is your right to be astonished when you hear them
calling out for the women’s right in education! So tell them: when was education for women forbidden,
for us to demand it? While, when it was forbidden and fought against in the
west, it wasn’t only forbidden for women but also for men! So why are we judged
for their acts? And let us suppose it was “forbidden” or there were
remarks on it, from the muslims’ view in their countries, it wasn’t on
education itself, but on the method or content…… if it trespasses the Islamic
borders. And this was, is still, and will stay always as long
as God’s legislations exist…. And who is the “believer” who has the guts to
contradict that, God forbid us, whatever the subject was.
2-
It is your right sister, to question their demands for
your right in employment! Tell them: when was the right of employment for women
prohibited? And who banned her from working? Doesn’t our history witness that women can work if
they wanted, when they wanted….. and this is what we see from our past, present
and in our villages… However, if it was meant the methods and types of
jobs…. Alterations have happened on both men and women and the entire human
being…. as the concept of “employment” and its evolution and methods changed…
What do men and women have to do with that?! And if others have prohibited women from working, do
we get the blame for others mistakes?! However, if the “prohibition” was, in certain cases,
to preserve the women’s dignity, honor, humanity and reputation…. This is
infact the woman’s right, and this is requires. Moreover, the distinction in the salary, medical
insurance, and other privileges among men and women is truly a western scheme,
which does not exist in Islam. So who dignified and honored the woman more
Islam or the western “civilization”?
3-
It is your right sister, if they demanded your right
of investing your money with full power, to smile with astonishment for such a
demand! Because women are free to invest and spend their
money, heritage, gifts, salaries, belongings,…… and it is no one’s right to
forbid her from that, or force her for what he wants, whether a husband or
other….. She has her own will to spend, give, donate…. and the interdiction
on women’s money is just a western custom…. And if a man tried to plunder her from her right in
investment, he’s judged as if another woman tried the same, as injustice,
regardless male or female. And what has Islam to do with this? Is there one
Islamic casuistry which prohibits women from investing her money and where is
it?
4-
Dear sister, it is your right to find it strange when
you hear them talk about forcing girls to marry a specific man, and that she
hasn’t seen him before the wedding night, and that she doesn’t know him… to
other stories and riddles. Is there any jurisprudent that plundered the women
their right in choosing their husbands, and to say: Yes or No, and that the
legal marriage certificate is done without her consent…..?! If this supposedly did happen in certain tribes and
families, know that it is an ignorant tradition…. Strange!!
How Islam is blamed and judged for it, when as Islam evolved it worked to
demolish it.

And sometimes they struggle for “women’s rights”
because her husband hits her! Grace the Lord, what does religion have to do with
that, and this happens in the “developed and civilized” countries more than in
our countries. Doesn’t Doesn’t it happen in a larger percentage and in more
dangerous and brutal methods…. In So, why do they continuously blame the “eastern
community”, ‘the eastern woman” and “the eastern man”?! And perhaps this is an indirect preterition to the
religion, history and inheritance of that community…. from the crusades and the
malevolent. ﴾ vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their
mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still ﴿. The Family
of Imran-118 (Âá ÚãÑÇä) O, Dear Sister…..
What is being aroused under the title of “Women’s rights”, as discussed
above, shouldn’t make you surrender to it, imitating by following it others,
even on the account of your religion. Infact,
these issues and others, are displayed against God’s book and His Prophet’s
supplications; what they accepted, we consent to with pride, and what they
refuse, we abandon with honor.
And we don’t accept a religion other than God’s
religion. O, Dear Sister….. My
honorable sister: if something devious happens in our
society, or injustice or corruption, we have to cooperate and work together
side-by-side to mend it, prevent it or drive it away. And this
is our duty and obligation, since our dear Islam defended the human, granted
him, raised him, exalted him and charged him with duties, without
discrimination between the man’s “camp” and the woman’s “camp”. Injustice
on the society is injustice on everyone, and “what women suffer from in our
societies isn’t separated from what men suffer from”, as they both suffer
equally from extorted or diminished rights, which are the result of the direct
or indirect domination of the enemies on our capabilities and our custodians…. So all the “just people”, men and women, are obliged
to refute the “unjust people”, men and women. As God
Al-Mighty made the just people enemies with the unjust people and didn’t make
women enemies of men. However,
if misconduct or aggression happens, it is out of weak faith and commitment,
and its resolution is in the propaganda to Islam and encouraging people to embrace
it. “And Islam did not experience, in its history, a special case
concerning women” and it did not follow the disruptive method adapted in
the western scheme… Islam treated the woman as a human, as a responsible and
charged creature, and it didn’t differentiate between them and men, in
any responsibility or duty, and it didn’t direct her as
an independent creature….
Women’s rights in Islam are part of the people’s rights, whether men, women, children, boys or girls. O, Dear Sister…..
Isn’t it time to end the disputes about
issues hidden behind the motto of “women’s rights”…. End the disputes, not only
out of concern on the muslim woman, God bless and protect her, but also in
justice to Islam which receives a great deal of calumny, slander, and
injustice…. even with
indirect measures, for their inability to directly assault Islam. For so
long we have heard that the qualities of the “liberated” woman is not to marry
at an early age, not to give birth to many children, she’s the one who her
husband cant have control on, who goes out of her house whenever she wants, and
she’s the one who is liberated from her husband’s predominance as she isn’t a
main in the house!!! Their motive from such mottos is to confute Islam…. in
addition to accusations and delusions which Islam is innocent of, as the wolf
is innocent of the blood of Jacob’s son. O, Dear Sister….. There is an
issue which perplexes and puzzles me; I haven’t found a solution for until now! Why don’t the strugglers for the “women’s rights”, if they
were honest, defend her at least publicitly, by banning all the hackneyed forms
and types of “Beauty pageants and contests”?!
And why don’t they confront the cheap fructification of the woman’s body
in the media, and the
disgraced photos, the impudent celebrity aggregations, the wide spread
corruption, and the increasing insolence and augmenting insults?! So, if
such offences weren’t from the “woman’s rights”, why are they silent?! While
actually, some signs indicate that they are supportive, and sometimes
participants and planners who hasten towards them! And the
media and assaults are a fair and true witness. However,
if such acts were out of “women’s rights”, just honestly inform us. And then,
for every event, there is a discourse. O, Dear Sister…..
As previously mentioned, it was clearly stated that
you can work, and no one can prohibit you, unless God’s gracious legislations
does. But for
your benefit, I wish to reflect your attention to the following:
1-
Your job shouldn’t affect your respect and
composure…. Because
many of you fall into unwanted troubles, and only some of you are the ones who
are able to speak powerfully, due to certain special aspects in them.
2-
Your job atmosphere should be equipoised, because the companionship and associations can have
very dangerous consequences….. on your hereafter and faith, even if it wasn’t
apparent in our clamorous life, in which we live ﴾ They know the outward of this
world’s life, but of the hereafter they are absolutely heedless ﴿. The Romans-7
(ÇáÑæã)
3-
You are much greater than relinquishing what
you were brought on from faith, as some did sadly to win a great but transitory offer,
whatever the surrounding stresses or offers were. So how is faith sold? God forbid you, ﴾ And they sold him for a small price, a few pieces of silver﴿. Yusuf-20 (íæÓÝ)
4-
Don’t forget your duties and obligations
towards your home, children and husband…. because their loss is your loss
before all. And all the jobs that you may have, however “great”
they were, someone else can do them. But your family’s affairs can’t be done by anyone but
you, even if you had the assistance of servants and maids…. as everything from you and from your own hands revives the
sense of compassion and tranquility to your husband and children. Can anyone other than you accomplish this? It is recommended to refer to “The Suggester of Evil
Thoughts“pgs 148-149
5-
Any job goes and comes, changes and transforms,
improves and worsens….. while the family, children and husband, don’t endure
bargains and threats.
6-
The western woman’s materialistic view of
everything including marriage, divorce, expenses, and household…. isn’t your model,
since you
are first a muslim, second a muslim, third and for ever a muslim.
7-
By preserving your husband and children, you
preserve Islam and the society, and by neglecting them you harm Islam and the
society…. even if your salary was huge!
8-
There is a widely-spread misunderstanding of the concept of the “working woman”, which is given
only to the “productive” woman who works outside her home and takes a salary. Based on this, the woman who cares for her home and
family is “unemployed” because she isn’t money “productive”! And this reminds us of those who said that “praying”
is a “waste of time” and delay of production, and so is fasting…. because such
issues weaken the national economy!!! And these people neglected that the family mistress is
a productive worker, with no doubt; infact, she works even more than those
outside the house. And it isn’t necessary that “work” be for a
salary or a personal materialistic outcome; otherwise, where is the volunteer work,
contributions and good deeds, all done to acquire God’s consent?!
9-
Motherhood, which is for no one but the mother, and
only the mother, is the milestone for building a human and humanity….and a good
woman. O, Dear Sister…..
From the issues that became so familiar lately, is
going to “private” beaches, which do not allow the mingling of males and
females, and it is protected away from the men’s sights. And here,
allow me to say the following:
1-
Not everyone who puts a sign indicating an alleged
private woman’s pool is aware of the limits and restraints and cares for them. As some aim for business only, and might suppose that
some “restraints” are unnecessary or unimportant or might allow a male person
to mend an emergent breakage, is it that simple! As not all of these people are religiously committed
or muslims or know the limits of the legal and the illegal, the allowed and the
prohibited, and apply them.
2-
The clothing which displays the body more than the
logical limits has bad consequences….. And some might reach the state of true
danger, God forbid, even among women only. And by this we warn our male youth, so how about our
girls and women?
3-
There are other damages, if the place and its owners
weren’t trustworthy…. And it isn’t the occasion to detalize the issue, but we
could pay very large prices, God forbid.
4-
Such entertainment is new and foreign to us, and we
have to be honest in estimating it and not with-taken under the title of fun,
play and changing moods!!!! God
preserve us and you from any doubt.
Private
Pictures infront of the Forbidden Degrees of
Consanguinity O, Dear Sister…..
Following what you see in the media and movies, and in
some “salons” of the official figures from displaying
family and private pictures infront of forbidden degrees….. such an evil action
started widely spreading in our houses!!
Wedding photos or boys’ and girls’ pictures or
different pictures are being displayed in reception rooms, in a very visible
manner to all visitors. And in
such an act, the foreigners and visitors become infatuated by viewing the
different photos, which could tempt the eye to what these pictures may display
from make-up on the faces, smiles, glances, actions, standing styles, “POSE”….
which are permissible for its owners and their allowable degrees of
consanguinity, and not to all of the people. So, if it
was necessary to put pictures, let them be for the man of the house, or
children, or grand-father or grand-mother….. while the private, intimate and emotional
photos should be, for those who “insist” to put them, in the bed rooms only. But also,
they have to be very cautious from the entry of any foreigner into these rooms,
perhaps to mend something, move an object, etc… O, Dear Sister…..
Smoking is a bad habit, and no one denies
this, even if you
were a smoker yourself.
So, don’t listen to those who say that smoking removes
your sorrows! If this was true, smokers would be the least people with sorrows. And if
smoking was a problem-solver! Then the people wouldn’t have been tested in this
life, and life on earth would have been problem-free! So, my
dignified sister, Don’t
addict or even learn how to smoke, as it is a repulsive act, especially for
women….. And it is really astonishing to see a truthful believer, strong woman
in her faith who repels all the temptations of one’s evil self, how she can’t
quit smoking! I
recommend you to refer to “My Dear Brother” as it has the convincing
response to this issue, precisely pages 71-73, and it contains an easy and
tested way to quit smoking. O, Dear Sister…..
The interpretation and explanation of dreams is a
unique science that has its experts, and not everything that you see in your
sleep will come true. The reason
of this talk here is the European exaggeration, for some women who depend on
their dreams, until it became the only issue of their concern. Dreams are
numerous, and they surely have an explanation, but some care for them, more
than they care about their decrees and what benefits them. And it is
important to alert you here, that it is not permissible
to judge a person, or a case or an event or an occasion…. positively or
negatively through visions or depending on dreams. O, Dear Sister….. Be with
God Al-Mighty, and don’t be on God, The Gracious and all my concern is: ﴾ I deliver to
you the messages of my Lord and I am a faithful advisor to you ﴿. The Elevated
Places-68(ÇáÃÚÑÇÝ)
Even if some said about indecencies: ﴾ We found our fathers doing this and Allah has enjoined it on
us, say: surely Allah does not enjoin indecency ﴿. The Elevated Places-28 (ÇáÃÚÑÇÝ)
﴾ If you love
Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive your faults ﴿. The Family of Imran-31 (Âá ÚãÑÇä) And Peace
be upon our Prophet Mohammad and his kind and holy family. The 3rd of Shawwal 1416
