| [slm] I just found this from the Jaihoon website: ... on the shore of Jaihoon Unique pearls on the shore of Islam This is an age where there are many struggles for the equality of women. Seminars, books, talk show demonstrations...what else not is used in propagation of the feminist agenda. And in this process, the apostles of feminism don’t waste any chance in painting Islam as a backward and discriminatory religion. Hijab is labeled as ‘an arrest on the creative freedom of the individual’. Are they blind to the fact that each year millions of pilgrims from the nook and comers of world are following the footsteps of a lady as a part of their worship? A lady! A Hajrah!! We Muslims are well acquainted with the story of Hajrah and Ismael (as). How Hajrah had run in between Safa and Marwa, praying anxiously to God for help. Zamzam! Which pilgrim in Makkah can drink it without gratitude to Hajrah- her Patience, perseverance…? Sometimes a tear sprinkling from the bottom than a bleeding heart proves to be more efficient that piles of gold and silver. Who was the first to believe in the message of Prophet while the whole world ignored him. It was a lady! A Khadhijah Al Kubra (ral). Again none had the life time opportunity to calm the Prophet during his trials and troubles than Khadhijah AI-Kubra (ral). Bravery, self sacrifice and heroism are no monopoly of men. Islamic history was alive to the above fact in number of women around the world. Asma bint Abu Bakr(ral) was one of such marvelous women that Islam produced. She was lucky indeed to be daughter of Abu Bakr (ral), sister of Prophet' s wife and the mother of Abdullah bin Zubair (ral) the brave martyr. I suppose that not every mother can whisper to her son as she did "Proceed to wear the immortal garment of martyrdom. Proceed to gain Allah's pleasure. Proceed! We shall meet in Heaven!" She was again the lady who practically demonstrated the general notion that "Women are no place to confide a secret" as a mere superstition. I thought it was a good lesson for Sisters.

| [slm] Adding to the glittering luster of Jaihoon’s pearls here is a small poem which I had written and probably had posted earlier some where in the Vast Jannah, but I think posting again might add just softness to the written subject Oh! Woman- Many colors flow in you; Many shades blend in you Oh! Woman. Many face has God carved you in; But the most beautiful face is the Mother You are in seen. Words may run out of breath in describing you; At times you bloom like a flower, burst like lava And fall like a dew. You deserve the most respect in God’s creations; Your beauty lies in your modesty, your love and Your emotions. Praise be to God, Whose creation is you, Many colors flow in you; Many shades blend in you Oh! Woman. From you has come Kings, beggars to Prophets and Messengers; And you has remain still, passed the test of the time, but we (men) Has just been passengers. You have raised the seeds of Great Civilizations in your pious Womb; There have always been in your memory, raised monuments, wonders And built tomb. Materials, machines, cities must have been built by Man, But still there is no world without you; And still what we (men) do, the credit goes back to you Oh! Woman. Many colors flow in you; Many shades blend in you Oh! Woman. ---------------m.u.s.a.f.i.r's | E.C.H.O.S------------------- [wlm] |

| [slm][size=2][font=book antiqua][color=blue] Smile… [u]Unique pearls on the shore of Islam[/u]…. It reminded me of this poem: [center] [/color][color=navy]Oyster Author Unknown There once was an oyster Whose story I tell, Who found that some sand Had got into his shell. It was only a grain, But it gave him great pain. For oysters have feelings Although they're so plain. Now, did he berate The harsh workings of fate That had brought him To such a deplorable state? Did he curse at the government, Cry for election, And claim that the sea should Have given him protection? "No," he said to himself As he lay on a shell, Since I cannot remove it, I shall try to improve it. Now the years have rolled around, As the years always do, And he came to his ultimate Destiny . . . stew. And the small grain of sand That had bothered him so ”Was a beautiful pearl” ”All richly aglow” Now the tale has a moral, For isn't it grand [u]What an oyster can do[/u] [u]With a morsel of sand?[/u] What couldn't we do If we'd only begin With some of the things That get under our skin. [/color][color=blue] -- Insha Allah -- -- La Ilaha Illa Allah --[/center][/color][/font][/size] [wlm] |
