Message: <blockquote data-quote="gazaly" data-source="post: 2185718" data-attributes="member: 10197">The status of the Muslim woman in Islam is a very noble and lofty one, and her effect is very great in the life of every Muslim. Indeed, the Muslim woman is the initial teacher in the building of a righteous society, providing she follows the guidance from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (). This is because adherence to the Qur'an and the Sunnah distances every Muslim - male or female - from being misguided in any matter. The secret of her importance lies in the tremendous burden and responsibility that is placed upon her, and the difficulties that she has to shoulder - responsibilities and difficulties some of which not even a man bears. This is why one of the most important obligations upon a person is to show gratitude to the mother, and kindness and implement good companionship with her. And in this matter, she is to be given precedence over and above the father.A man came to Allah's Messenger (SAWS) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who from amongst mankind warrants the best companionship from me? He replied: "Your mother." The man asked: Then who? So he replied: "Your mother." The man then asked: Then who? So the Prophet replied again: "Your mother." The man then asked: Then who? So he replied: "Then your father." (al-Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah). So this necessitates that the mother is given three times the like of kindness and good treatment than the father.As regards the wife, then her status and her effect in making the soul tranquil and serene, has been clearly shown in the noble aayah (verse), in His - The Most High's - saying: "And from amongst His Signs is this: That He created for you wives from amongst yourselves, so that you may find serenity and tranquility in them. And He has put between you love and compassion. Indeed, in this are signs for those who reflect." [Room; 30:21]...And do not forget about 'Aaishah - radiallahu 'anha (may Allah be pleased with her) - and her great effect. Since even the great Sahabah (Companions) used to take knowledge of Hadeeth from her, and many of the Sahabiyat (female Companions) learned the various rulings pertaining to women's issues from her.And I have no doubt that my mother - may Allah shower His mercy upon her - had a tremendous effect upon me, in encouraging me to study; and she assisted me in it. May Allah greatly increase her reward and reward her with the best of rewards for what she did for me.And there is no doubt also, that the house in which there is kindness, gentleness, love and care, along with the correct Islamic tarbiyah (education and cultivation) will greatly affect the man. So he will become - if Allah wills - successful in his affairs and in any matter - whether it be seeking knowledge, trading, earning a living, or other than this.</blockquote>
