True Muslimah

A woman’s true success is found in honouring Allah’s guidance. Modesty is dignity, protection, and honour.

Your Exhaustion Is Not in Vain Whenever you feel yourself getting tired and unmotivated to study, remind yourself that this is for the sake of Allaah. Tiredness for the sake of Allāh. Struggle for the sake of Allāh. Exhaustion for the sake of Allāh. You won't feel this exhaustion forever. There will come a day when there is no fatigue, no burnout, no heavy eyelids, no aching mind. That day is in Jannah. The path of carrying revelation and beneficial knowledge has always come with effort and sacrifice. Every moment of fatigue endured for Allah will never be lost. The believer does not seek complete comfort here, because the everlasting comfort is waiting in Jannah.

Waking up for Fajr is hard. Living with the guilt of missing it is harder. Choose your hard. Raising righteous children is hard. Watching your children grow up without the deen is harder. Choose your hard. Lowering your gaze is hard. Protecting your heart from the consequences of what you chose to look at is harder. Choose your hard. Leaving what is haram is hard. Living with the consequences of disobeying Allah is harder. Choose your hard. Being consistent in salah is hard. Standing before Allah with neglected prayers is harder. Choose your hard. Seeking knowledge is hard. Remaining ignorant of the deen is harder. Choose your hard. Being a good role model is hard. Watching those who look up to you follow the wrong example is harder. Choose your hard. Life will always have its struggles. You don't get to choose whether life is hard. But you can choose which struggle you are willing to bear. Choose the hardship that brings you closer to Allah, not the one that takes you further from Him. Choose wisely. Choose for the sake of Allah ﷻ.

⚠️ 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹-𝗞𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶 𝗝𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 Many people today are selling and wearing necklaces and bracelets with Āyat al-Kursī, believing they will offer protection. But what is the difference between this and an amulet (taʿwīdh)? The Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk. [Musnad Aḥmad (16969)] The Prophet ﷺ made it clear that wearing amulets is shirk, as protection comes from Allah alone, not from objects. The Qur'an was revealed to be recited, understood, and acted upon, not worn as decoration. Those who believe merely wearing it is enough have fallen into false beliefs. Worse, they disrespect the words of Allah by taking them into places of impurity. The widespread sale and promotion of such items today further misguides people into thinking that protection comes from the object itself, not from a sincere connection to Allah. True protection comes from tawḥīd, tawakkul, and following the Sunnah. Tap to continue

We spend so much of our lives planning for a wedding, building a home, chasing careers, collecting memories, and dreaming of growing old together. Yet every one of those dreams ends at a grave. There is only one place where love never ends, where there are no arguments, no illness, no distance, no fear of loss, and no final goodbye: Jannah. So don’t just pray for a spouse who makes your dunya easier. Pray for a spouse who wakes you for Fajr when you’re tired, reminds you of Allah when your heart becomes distracted, holds your hand through repentance, and helps you become the kind of person worthy of Paradise. Because the greatest love story is not finding someone to spend this life with. It is finding someone who, by the mercy of Allah, you will spend eternity with. May Allah make our marriages a path to Jannatul Firdaus, where every embrace lasts forever and every reunion has no end. آمين يا ربّ العالمين! – Wafi Abu Hazzam

مَن أحبّك، أوصَاكَ بالطَّاعات  Whoever loves you will encourage you to obey Allāh.

📩 A Message to Every Sister... 🌸 If your marriage has been delayed, remember Khadijah bint Khuwaylid رضي الله عنها. She waited, and Allah blessed her with the greatest husband to walk this earth. If marriage is not written for you, remember Maryam عليها السلام. Though she never married, Allah honored her above the women of her time and granted her an everlasting legacy in this world and the Hereafter. If your pregnancy is delayed and people hurt you with their words, remember the wife of Zakariyya عليها السلام. When hope seemed impossible, Allah blessed them with a child despite their old age. If you are tested with a sinful or oppressive husband, remember Asiya رضي الله عنها. Though she lived under one of history's greatest tyrants, Allah raised her to be among the women of Paradise. If you are divorced, remember the promise of Allah: But if they separate, Allah will enrich each of them from His abundance. [النساء: ١٣٠] Never measure your provision against someone else's. What Allah has written for you will never miss you, and what He has withheld from you was never meant to be yours. People will always have something to say. Do not let their words define your worth. Their tongues cannot change what Allah has decreed. Place your trust in Allah's wisdom. He knows what you cannot see, He plans what you cannot imagine, and He chooses what is always best for His servants. Your delay is not your denial. Your test is not your punishment. Your Lord is the Best of Planners. 🤍

The world celebrates what attracts attention. Allah loves what is done sincerely for His sake. Choose modesty, even if it goes unnoticed.

She said to her husband in anger: “If only you knew the difference between my mother and yours.” He smiled and replied, “My mother gave birth to me, and your mother raised the greatest blessing Allah wrote for me.” With a single kind word, he ended an argument that harsh words could only have prolonged. The Mother of the Believers, ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها, narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed, gentleness is not found in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it disgraces it. [صحيح مسلم (٢٥٩٤)] And gentleness is softness in speech and beauty in action, and it is the shortest path to opening hearts and winning people over. [📖 الشرح الميسر] The Tābiʿī ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr رحمه الله said: Gentleness is the head of wisdom. [الزهد للإمام أحمد (٢٧٤)] Many arguments are not ended by proving who is right, but by choosing to be gentle. A kind word can preserve a marriage, heal a wounded heart, and turn anger into affection. –Taken

How you call yourself friendless O believers, when you have Quran as your lifetime companion?. [~أمّ ﻗَﻤَﺮ || المعرفة والفوائد]

Even in this 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁, you still see many Muslim women wearing the proper hijab and niqab with patience and sincerity. To all the sisters who continue to obey the command of their Lord in this heat, may Allah reward your steadfastness and grant you His Shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade. Aameen

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said: “A woman needs protection and preservation even more than a little boy. And the more she is hidden from strange gazes, the better for her.” [مجموع الفتاوى ٣٤/١٢٩] And today, many have been convinced that exposing their beauty to strangers is empowerment. How strange!! The one most in need of protection now seeks the attention of non maḥrams. And where are the guardians whom Allah entrusted with responsibility? Every woman should fear Allah regarding herself, and every guardian should fear Allah regarding those under his care.

Take heed, O mothers! Children naturally grow to love what their mothers love. If a mother fills her heart with the Qur'an, her children are more likely to grow up attached to the Qur'an. If she values beneficial knowledge, they learn to value it too. Before children follow our words, they follow our example. If they see you opening the Qur'an, they will become curious about it. If they see you reading beneficial books and seeking knowledge, they will grow up believing that knowledge is something precious. A mother's habits quietly become her children's habits. So be the example you hope they will follow. A mother who is attached to Allah raises children who know where true success is found.

And today, our excuses have become louder than our obedience.

So proud of my sisters 🌹 I adore the girl who once shaped her brows but put the blade down-not because it was easy, not because anyone was watching, but because her Lord asked her to. Because she loved Him more. She fought against the whispers of insecurity, against the fear of how she'd look, how she'd feel, how the world would see her. But she chose Him. She let go of a piece of herself to hold onto Him. If that isn't love, then what is? I love the girl who never wore hijab, who felt the hesitation, the weight of change-but still, she wrapped it around herself. And I love how she didn't stop there. I love how she took it further, how she draped herself in jilbab, how she kept going, not for the world's approval, but for His. Don't you see? She said, "I hear and I obey." She let go of what was familiar for what was true. If this isn't love, then tell me what is? I love the woman who softens her voice with her husband, not because she is weak, not because she is scared of him, but because she submits to her Lord. She knows that in obeying Him, there is strength, in humility, there is honor, and in love for Allah, there is dignity. She loves her Lord more, and that love spills over into every part of her. If this isn't love, then what is? I love the girl who stays kind when the world is cruel, who chooses patience when life tests her, who believes in khair even when she can't see it. The one who holds onto her Lord's promise when everything else falls apart. Because she knows, deep in her heart, that He will never fail her. If this isn't love, then tell me what is? -divine.taqwa https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VafvsrrAjPXSQxuoqz1a
