 *Name Ur Child Aisha*

[[----- Part 1-of-16 -----]]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

ʿNana Āʾishah bint Abī Bakr (عائشة بنت أبي بكر) was Muhammad's third and youngest wife. The Quran describes the wives of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as  "Mother of the Believers" (أمّ المؤمنين, 📚(Surah Ahzaab: 33:6)

Nana Aisha (r.a.) was third and youngest wife of Prophet (PBUH). She was the daughter of the closest man to the Prophet, i-e Abu Bakr Siddiq (r.a.).  Nana Aisha showed the world how the woman could be more knowledgeable than men, politician or warrior fourteen centuries ago. She had a brilliant mind and a remarkable memory. She contributed to the spread of Prophet’s message and served the Muslim community for 44 years after the death of Messenger of Allah (PBUH).. She is also known for narrating 2,210 hadiths, not just on matters related to Muhammad's private life, but also on topics such as inheritance, pilgrimage, and eschatology. Yes. Her intellect and knowledge in various subjects, including poetry and medicine, were highly praised by early luminaries such as al-Zuhri and her student Urwa ibn al-Zubayr.

Need For Every Woman To Educated or Seek Beneficial Knowledge From The Cradle To The Grave

Every society is made up of blocks of family units. The stronger each block is, the stronger the structure of the society. Families are thus the building blocks upon which rests the fate of society. For the development of good families, the mother plays a vital role. However,  it has been said that it is easy to bear children but it is difficult to raise them well. In that lies the challenge for all mothers.

My People!

Islam is a religion that celebrates seeking knowledge as a virtue such that we may find many verses in the Quran that encourages us to exercise our intellect to think and ponder. One such is the verse:

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مِّنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

"And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for people who give thought." 📚Surah Al-Jathiyah, 45:13

However,

Our quest for knowledge should ultimately lead us to be more humble. Yes. We should avoid intellectual arrogance by not thinking we know everything. Our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) warned us against arrogance (kibr):

الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ

"Arrogance is disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for people". 📚Sahih Muslim

We must remember that,

Knowledge seeking is not only limited to religious knowledge. No!.. It includes all knowledge, since Allah (swt) only instructed us to read. Yes. Did you remember when Angel Jibreel  appeared to Prophet and said:  - ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ - Recite in the name of your Lord who created 📚Al-'Alaq 96:1.... Here, we are instructed to read anything & everything in the name of Allah - meaning, our aim of acquiring every knowledge should be to please Allah (swt) by benefiting Muslims ummah & the religion of Islam.

So,

Knowledge here include: Chemistry, History, Computer science, Biology, Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Arabic language, to mention but few.

Servants of Allah!

We have earlier advised that Muslims should emphasize on *"Quality"* instead of *"Quantity"*. Yes. Instead of giving birth to 25 children who will not have access to quality education, it's better to have less than 10 children who will all have university degrees and will all memorize complete Quran and some hadeeth. Yes. We have seen many Muslim families where you hardly see one university graduate out of the population of 20-25 children. This is not what the Muslim community need now.

My People!

Knowledge is compulsory. Yes. Let us reflect upon the.....
