As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here!
Hope you are in the best of health and emaan.
This week, we will be treading the path to Jannah for our sisters in Islam.
In today's media, where we often find our sisters being spoken about in a negative light, because of the way they dress or the way they devote their time to their families or the way they practice their religion.
We have glad tidings to share with you from our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Nisa (The Women) - (4:34)
ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ ۚ فَٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ قَـٰنِتَـٰتٌ حَـٰفِظَـٰتٌۭ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱلَّـٰتِى تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَٱهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِى ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ وَٱضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّۭا كَبِيرًۭا
Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. And righteous women are devoutly obedient and, when alone, protective of what Allah has entrusted them with. And if you sense ill-conduct from your women, advise them ˹first˺, ˹if they persist,˺ do not share their beds, ˹but if they still persist,˺ then discipline them ˹gently˺. But if they change their ways, do not be unjust to them. Surely Allah is Most High, All-Great.
1 Hadith
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If a woman prays her five prayers, fasts her month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any gate she wishes.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ خُمُسَهَا وَصَامَتْ شَهْرَهَا وَحَصَّنَتْ فَرْجَهَا وَأَطَاعَتْ بَعْلَهَا دَخَلَتْ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَتْ

Reflection Point
In life, as human beings, we tend to make our affairs more complicated than they need to be. We can sometimes focus our attention on the wrong things and the wrong people. By a sister, praying her five daily prayers, fasting the month of Ramadan, guarding her chastity and obeying her husband, she will enter paradise from any gate she wishes.
SubhanAllah.
In these strange times of today, where women are looked down upon for adhering to their faith.
It is important to hold firm to your religion!
In a time where nudity is widespread, the family unit is being attacked by different ideologies and bad companions having too much influence over personal family matters.
It's time to focus on what really matters!
So what are some actionable steps to counter these problems?
Firstly, we should seek closeness to Allah, Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, through prayer, dua and ibaadah. Secondly, we should seek good companionship, and stay away from others who do not have our best interests at heart. Thirdly, stay close to your families, your husbands, children, relatives and parents and fourthly learn more about this beautiful religion of Islam; that you have been blessed with.
Alhamdullilah..
Be proud to be a Muslimah who treads the path to Jannah!
This week we have designed a beautiful Infographic with the steps the Prophet ﷺ informed us about, that will lead a Muslim woman to Paradise.
We have created the Infographic as an encouragement for our sisters to adhere to the their deen and follow the sayings of our Prophet ﷺ.
May Allah make the Muslim woman of our communities from those who enter Jannah.
Aameen
Remember...
"Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it."
