Being An Ideal Muslimah

Last Saturday (April, 1 2017), we, sisters, had a chance to attend a "kajian" delivered by DR. Zakir Naik's wife, Ustazdah Farhat Naik. She delivered a speech about "Being And Ideal Muslimah".

We have top 4 successful women of jannah:

1. Fatimah (The Prophet's daughter)

Fatimah is the person who will lead all the muslimah to jannah.

Once Fatimah was an exhausted wife with so many things she should do using her hands. After She told The Prophet about her problem and got advice from The Prophet she became a super woman who never forget making super power dzikr in every single thing of her work.

2. Khadijah (The Prophet's wife)

One example of good moment: when Rasulullah got the first revelation through the angel of Gabriel (who at that time spread his wings so widely making Rasulullah so scared and trembled). The prophet had actually three options where he should go and share: his people (quraish), his best friend (Abu Bakr), or his wife (Khadijah).

The Prophet without any doubt decided to go home and meet Khadijah. Why? He did know Khadijah was the best first person to tell about His very 'horrible' moment. She had a maturity He needed at the moment. She didnt ask The Prophet unecessary questions as common wives do after being left so long by husbands. She didnt even get scared too seeing his husband in a terrible condition. She treated The Prophet so wisely and understood The Prophet so much. She gives us a good example how a very strong bonding between wife and husband should be built. It is the key to raise leadership.

3. Maryam (Prophet Isa's mother)

Maryam is The Lady of The Quran because her name becomes one of the name of Surah in The Quran. She had glorius characters such as takwa, purification, and modesty.

4. Asyiah (Firaun's wife)

As a king's wife Asyiah actually had everything that a lady could desire, but since she understood this life is just a while she gave up all her luxuries. She was much loved by Firaun that was why He permited her to adopt baby Musa (while other babies at that time were killed by the order from Firaun). When Firaun punished her to get into the boiling water, she did it with no scare at all for the sake of her tauhid to Allah. Asyiah always prayed to Allah to have a house close to Allah in jannah, and Allah builds it special for her.

Four important points from those successful women of jannah:

1. A woman should have a strong sense of purpose; a strong intention to always seek for Allah's ridha. Anything you are doing should be ibadah. Always ask yourself: what is your purpose in life? Is Allah satisfied?

2. A woman should have a deep connection to Allah. Allah guarantees that if we walk to Him, He will run to us. If you are close to Allah, you'll experience the sweetness of iman whatever you face, Allah will take care of your problems.

3. The keys to connect to Allah:

4. a. Sholat

b. Recite and understand The Quran

c. Doa

d. Dzikir in the morning and afternoon

1. .A woman should make use of her time. Time isn't money, time is more important than money! We cant save time! So, be very careful spending your time and energy.

2. Find out what you are good at and seek for Allah's ridha, be the best of yourself whatever your proffesion is. Whatever you do, in any field, you have to exceed.
