The role of the Muslim woman in the family and society
The woman is one of the most important factors within the family, while the family is the first and most important institution in human society; there the first beginnings of human education are taken, because parents are obliged to educate their children in the best possible way.
To achieve a sound education, a social and religious education of the couple is necessary, especially the woman's.
Human life itself passes from one stage to another and each of these stages has its own special significance, from each take gives something, therefore every woman should use every phase of her life to achieve her goals to become a model of a successful woman within the family, but also outside it.
Women's education occupies an important place in family life, from the fact that it is the basis of a healthy spirit within every family, she is her husband's wife and friend, mother and educator for children, but there are cases where it can also be a storm that can bring many disturbances.
For a woman to be as far from the latter as possible, should take advantage of every stage of life on the way to a well-educated woman of high morals and proper education.
however, since we live in a time when little remains of this woman's model, many would ask how this degree is achieved. Because we are witnessing that the woman tries at all costs to adapt to all the ways of life that surround her, and forgets the role and position because she is obliged.
Humanity today suffers from numerous social anomalies, among which is the loss of respect for women. This phenomenon today, unfortunately for us, it has also affected our society, Islamic society.
How many of our sisters have the western woman as their model, which carries shame and humiliation behind it, and they don't take Aishen r.a. as a model., who was the most learned woman of mankind.
Are the hours of your life better spent following fashion runways and competing to see who looks the best?, or learning and carrying out God's commands?
Any common sense would accept the second, so accept it too, until it is too late.
Remember the high position that God gave you in this world,so don't do it, what you will lower yourself, that for this the fault lies only with you,go back in retrospect – where was the woman then and where are you today??
And di ti se para Islamit, to be female, it was a shame,and this shame had to be buried forever; at that time the woman was the most despised and belittled creature, but God brought you to this world when Islam raised the woman on a pedestal and protects her honor at all costs.
then, why do you seek to turn yourself into ignorance, why do you become the object of others and why do you follow those in whose vocabulary the word honor is not found?
Dear sister, God honored us a lot by making us members of Islam and followers of the teacher of humanity - Muhammad a.s., and have we ever asked ourselves how we deserved this great honor?
Therefore rejoice and thank God for making you a Muslim and, as long as you're a girl, always try to follow the right path and don't follow what will later make you regret your deeds,don't look around you to see how other girls have fun and don't bother at all about professional and religious preparation, because you know that they can never be on the same level as you, that instead of cafeterias you chose school, instead of magazines you chose the book,instead of music – Koran, and instead of fashion and its collections, – you have chosen modesty and cover.
For, as Allah says in the famous Quran: ”…Really, Only the knowledgeable among his slaves fear Allah." (Fatir :28), and the next verse: ”…tell: Are those who know and those who do not know equal?. (Zumar :9)
Therefore, don't let the fact that you may even be laughed at by others discourage you, because you know that tomorrow you will laugh, and others will cry.
If you use this part of your life properly, tomorrow as a wife you will be a strong support of your husband, you will be the one he will be proud of and thank God that he has a woman like you by his side, educated and pious, which always welcomes him smiling with respect and love, always ready to support him in good works, and help him in the difficulties that life brings, and in which he finds rest as in happy moments, as well as in bitter ones.
Never ask for what you cannot have, be satisfied with what is offered, and do not covet the condition of those women who only ask and forgive little; never allow yourself to be on the same level as those women who aim to have the pleasure of this world and forget the next world; always remember that this world is not a place of pleasure but of trials, therefore try to prepare your baggage with good deeds and by carrying out God's orders and then with the satisfaction of your spouse, loving and respecting him, and never forget the saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.: If I ordered someone to prostrate to someone other than Allah, I would order the wife to prostrate to her husband. THEREFORE, don't ask for the impossible, because a man is a man and a woman is a woman, so our Lord willed, and without a doubt there is wisdom here. So always sow kindness and be the cause of peace and comfort in your family.
You tomorrow, with God's permission, you will become a mother and be a role model for your child,every word, gesture or behavior will be transmitted to the child and, if you yourself are well educated, then you will convey to your child a high education full of courtesy towards the family, district and society in general.
You will convey to the child the desire and high will for knowledge and advancement in life,you will also be a strong support for him professionally. You will convey the highest human values to him, you will teach him the truth and you will not let him live in lies; you will teach him good and forbid him from evil.
E-mail, further, you will teach him the reason for coming to this world and the good works by which God's mercy is earned, with a word, you would raise a child with feelings of personality,love,understanding, courtesy and tolerance. Therefore, try to devote yourself as much as possible to your family with high education and morals, BECAUSE, do not forget, you are a role model for them, then remember how many women there are who don't have your luck to have at least one child in their womb, but God gave you this pleasure.
Stop and look around you: how many mothers raise and educate their children, – instead of maternal warmth, they give them a nanny, they are not there their godchild takes the first step, because their first preoccupation is their work and career and few care about their children's education,therefore, it is not surprising that today many women fail to create a stable family with high morals.
Don't forget that every parent is responsible for their children and, if it does not give the maximum in their education, then the function of the family remains unfulfilled and no other institution can perform this function, so the Qur'anic verse should always be kept in mind, where Allah says: "O you who believe, protect yourself and your families from fire, whose fuel will be stony men and which will be watched over by mighty and fierce angels, who do not oppose the commands of Allah and who work for what they are commanded". (Et-Tahrim: 6), as well as the saying of Muhammad a.s.: "The most beautiful place in the world is the house where the individual is prepared physically and spiritually for society.
THEREFORE, work so that your house is a nest of the pious who fear only God and hope in Him". THEREFORE, Dear sister, in this world live in a modest house, furnished with high faith and good deeds, so that in the next world you can live in the palaces that Allah has prepared for believers.
