As Muslims..
It can often be difficult to cultivate and nurture the next generation of young Muslims...
With the constant distractions of life.
It can be a nightmare, trying to find the best way to pass down guidance.
In order for them to be upright, self-sufficient and knowledgeable.
This week we will be looking at the true role models for Muslim women and the Muslim Ummah.
Yes..
The Mothers of The Believers!
So lets get started..
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al-Ahzab (The Confederates) - (33:6)
ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُۥٓ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمْ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِى كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُهَٰجِرِينَ إِلَّآ أَن تَفْعَلُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآئِكُم مَّعْرُوفًا كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مَسْطُورًا
The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.
1 Hadith
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ " مَا اسْتَفَادَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بَعْدَ تَقْوَى اللَّهِ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ إِنْ أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ وَإِنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ وَإِنْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَرَّتْهُ وَإِنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا نَصَحَتْهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَمَالِهِ " .
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that: the Prophet ﷺ used to say: “Nothing is of more benefit to the believer after Taqwa of Allah than a righteous wife whom, if he commands her she obeys him, if he looks at her he is pleased, if he swears an oath concerning her she fulfills it, and when he is away from her she is sincere towards him with regard to herself and his wealth.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1857
Reflection Point
Drawing the attention and seeking closeness to our children...
Family members..
And next of kin..
Can sometimes boggle the mind!
Guardians, parents and educators are constantly finding ways to understand the journey of our young people...
In order to relate to them and help guide them.
But without doing the real ground work of laying down a foundation.
It can be almost impossible.
So lets imagine this:
Yes, your precious plant!
In order for it to grow.
You need to find the right conditions for growth.
You need to water it.
Make sure it gets enough sunlight.
Check on it regularly.
And protect it from bugs, weevils, caterpillars and other pests.
It's exactly the same with our children, spouses, family members and community!
In order for them to flourish they need to be well looked after.
So we need to apply the right conditions for growth!
So the next question is..
Where do we start?
Well..
The answer is quite simple.
Cultivation & Education is key.
And this is where our resources can help you.
How do we know you need it?
With a quick spot check.
For example, ask your family members this short question.
Who is Maymuna binti al-Harith?
If they don't know, then this resource is for them!
The resource is designed with questions, quizzes, puzzles, answer keys and much more..
