*The Happiest Woman in the World*
*(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)*
*Part 7 of 8*
*A WOMAN FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE*
"Success means that your name is on everyone's lips."
'Atā' ibn Abi Rabāh Narrated: Ibn Abbas (may Allāh be pleased with him) said to me: "shall I not show you a woman from among the people of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said: "This black woman came to the prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) and said: 'I suffer from epilepsy, and I become uncovered. Pray to Allāh for me.' He said: 'If you wish, you can bear it with patience and paradise will be yours, or if you wish I can pray to Allāh to heal you.' She said: 'I will be patient, but I become uncovered; pray to Allāh that I will not become uncovered.' So he prayed for her."
This pious, believing woman accepted a problem that stayed with her throughout her transient worldly life, so that she could attain paradise. She made a good deal, for she was one of the people of Paradise. But she did not like to become uncovered so that people could see her 'awrah (all body except hand and face), which is not befitting for a pious, modest, Muslim woman. So, what should we say to those women who are clothed yet naked, who try hard to show off their charms and to cast aside the veil of modesty and appear virtually naked?
"Enough of anxiety! Be patient and face reality with steadfastness; fill your time and keep going."
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
