Golden Advice For Women (a short read)
“With your beauty, you are better than the sun;
with your morals, you are more sublime than musk;
with your modesty you are nobler than the full moon;
with your compassion you are more beneficial than rain…
So, preserve your beauty with faith, your tranquility with contentment, your chastity with hijab. Remember that your adornment is not gold, silver, or diamonds; rather, it is two rak’ahs at Fajr, going thirsty when you fast for Allah, concealed charity which no one knows except Him, hot tears that wash away sin, a lenghty prostration caused by utter submission to Allah, shyness before Allah when the inclination to do evil (the haraam) overwhelms you. Dress yourself with the garments of Taqwa (God-consciousness) for you are the most beautiful woman in the world - even if you’re barefoot. Beware of the life of bewitching immoral disbelieving women, for they are the fuel of the fire of Hell.
Whenever you go and find darkness in your life; what you have to do is to light the lamp within yourself.”
To Be the Most Beautiful Woman in The World by Shaykh ‘A’id al-Qarni, the author of a ton of personal improvement books. He is one of the few scholars who dedicates some of his works specifically to women. You Can Be The Happiest Woman In The World and The Ideal Muslimah are books for sisters that serve as strong support for their mental, emotional and spiritual enrichment. His most famous book, Don’t Be Sad (Laa Tahzaan in Arabic) is a must-read for all Muslim youth in America.
