The Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman isn't on the front covers of a magazine,
The beauty of a woman is reflected by her love for her deen.
The beauty of a woman isn't in her airbrushed smile,
its her hard work she dedicates to her family that goes a mile.
The beauty of a woman is apparent in her motherhood,
she raises her children to form a strong Muslim brotherhood.
The beauty of a woman isn't in her figure or how much she weighs,
its when she pours her heart out to Allah and prays.

The strength for every good man,
performing all the dignified roles- shes still amazing even as a gran!
The endless and tiresome nights; she raises her children in Allah's name with sheer delight People think that by working outside that gives a lot to contemporary society,
fair enough but ignoring the family isn't really piety.
The beauty of a woman lies in her unconditional love;
that Allah by His Rahman bestows from High above.
Without our mothers what would we have been,

When man cries defeat the beauty of a woman can be seen by her grace,
she aspires her husband to never leave his place.
Her hijab is for her; So why can't the media stop the slur.
She adores her coverings, its not for men and women to stare -
all this for Allah she is offering.
The beauty of a woman can be measured by her friendship
from every kind word, advice and so many tips.
The beauty of a woman can be seen in her intelligence,
not in skinny tight jeans, but modesty in my book is elegance
I'm not here condemning women- because we are all different,
but there are certain qualities that are ignored- those qualities are magnificent.

Her laughter and her beautiful smile;
is still there after she has struggled hard for miles.
She maintains her role to such perfection; of mother, daughter, sister, and wife
she has the same rights to education.
Best of all her beauty stems from Islam;
that through the chaos of this world saves her from harm.
She feels at ease, and is truly liberated,
if only other women knew how these lies about our women are fabricated.

Asalaamu'alaikum Warahmatulahi Wabarkatahu dear respected brothers and sisters.

I pray this reaches u all in the best of health and Iman, ameen!!!

Subhan'Allah, my dear sisters in these few lines, is indeed the ideal muslimah we should all aspire 2 b, yes we're not perfect 4perfection belongs 2 Allah azza wa jall alone, but my dear sisters we can indeed try.

As a wise brother once said, Mash'Allah may Allah b pleased with him & accept his work, my dear sisters the Hoor al'ayn of Jannah r the perfect women so we should aspire 2 b like them, the Hoor al'ayn of this Dunya 4 our husbands, family, friends & the Ummah, insha'Allah.

And my dear brothers in these few lines, u have an ideal muslimah 2 seek as ur wife 4 this dunya & in Jannah insha'Allah, b not decieved dear brothers by the western ideas of their perfect woman & wife, rather look 2 what Rasool'ullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was pleased with in his wives, after all he was the best from the best creation (i.e. mankind).

2 become this muslimah isn't hard 2acheive, only we make it hard 4 ourselves.

anyway, this is becoming like an essay now, lol.

Keep the Ummah in ur du'as, & make the most of these 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah! (Don't 4get 2 fast in these days too!)
Wasalaam.
