OUR WOMEN

 *OUR WOMEN*

In Islam WOMEN are NOT second class citizens - they are the twin half of men!

➡️Allaah SubhaanaHu wa Ta'ala Has given the same promises to men *as to women, and He praises women as He* praises men: 

Allaah, Exalted be He says in Surah al Ahzaab, Aayah 35:

‎أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

‎إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِين

‎وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا.

"Verily,

-the Muslims (those *who submit to Allah in Islam) men and* women, 

-the believers men and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), 

-the men and the women who are obedient (to Allah), 

-the men and women who are truthful (in *their speech and deeds),*

-the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties which *Allah has ordered and in abstaining from all* that Allah has forbidden), 

-the men and the *women who are humble (before their* Lord Allah),

-the men and the women who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat, and alms, etc.), 

-the men and the women who observe Saum (fast) (the obligatory fasting during the month of *Ramadan, and the optional Nawafil* fasting), 

-the men and the women who guard their chastity (from illegal sexual acts) 

-and the men and the women who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues (while sitting, standing, *lying, etc. for more than 300 times extra over the remembrance* of Allah during the five compulsory congregational prayers) or praying extra additional *Nawafil prayers of night in the last part of* night, etc.) 

Allaah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

🔖 (Quran: Al Ahzaab - 35)

Subhaan Allaah! With *every single character, both men and women are mentioned. If this* won't be called EQUALITY then what?

In this world, there are *so many Islamophobic agencies* spreading misconceptions about Islam  and trying to corrupt the ideology of Muslim women by instilling in them the ill *thoughts of prejudices of Islam for them. And due to lack of Knowledge and* awareness our sisters are falling a prey to this.

*But now next time you get an iota of doubt about your status in* Islam, just remember this Aayah and thank Allaah SubhaanaHu wa Ta'ala *for all the Blessings He Has Blessed upon* us.

الحمد لله رب العالمين.

*IT'S TIME FOR SALAATUL DHURH AT NOON*

May Allaah accept it from you and us. Aameen

*Allaahu Musta'aan*
