Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"The woman who passes away in such a state where her husband is pleased with her will enter jannah."
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"The woman who passes away in such a state where her husband is pleased with her will enter jannah."
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"The person who has been blessed with four things has in fact been blessed with the treasures of this world and the hereafter. They are: a grateful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah, a body that exercises patience at the time of calamities and difficulties, a woman who does not cause any taint or blemish with regard to her honour and her husband's wealth."
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"A noble and rich woman who is widowed and yet becomes dirty on account of serving and rearing her children to such an extent that they mature and live on their own or pass away, shall be close to me in jannah just as the index finger and middle finger are close to each other."
Lesson: This does not mean that there is more reward for a woman to abstain from remarrying. What this means is that if a woman feels that by her remarrying, her children will go astray and she has no inclination towards beautifying herself and no desires, then this will be her status.
A person said to Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam: "O Ras�lull�h! A certain woman offers plenty of nafl sal�ts, fasts abundantly and gives a lot in charity. However she causes much verbal harm to her neighbours."
He replied: "She will go into jahannam."
The same person then said: "A certain woman does not offer many nafl sal�ts, does not fast abundantly nor does she give a lot in charity; she merely gives pieces of pan�r (a type of cheese) in charity. However she does not cause any harm to her neighbours."
He replied: "She will go into jannah."
A woman came to Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam with two children, one she was carrying and the other she was holding by the hand. Upon seeing this scene, he said: "These women bear the children in their wombs, thereafter they give birth to them, and thereafter they display so much of love and compassion for them. Had their relationship with their husbands not been bad, and had they offered their sal�ts regularly, they would have went directly into jannah."
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam addressed women and said: "Aren't you pleased that when a woman falls pregnant through her husband and he is happy with her falling pregnant, she will receive a reward equal to a person fasting in the path of Allah and engaging in 'ib�dah at night in the path of Allah? When she experiences labour pains, the things which are kept in store for her and which will provide her with comfort are not known to all those in the heavens and the earth. Thereafter when the child is born, for every drop of milk that he drinks and each time that he sucks her breast, one reward will be recorded in her favour. When the mother has to wake up at night on account of the child, she will receive the reward of freeing 70 slaves in the path of Allah. O Sal�mat! Do you know who these women are? They are those who, despite being pious and delicately brought up, are obedient to their husbands and are not ungrateful to them."
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"When a woman gives anything in charity from her husband's house without destroying it, she will be rewarded on account of her giving. The husband will also be rewarded because it is his hard-earned money. The person who has been entrusted to distribute the charity will also receive a similar reward. No one's reward will decrease on account of the other."
Lesson: A woman should not be under the misconception that if the income is the husband's she would not receive any reward.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"O women! Your jih�d is performing hajj."
Lesson: Look at the concession that he has given. That is, by performing hajj, in which they do not have to bear the difficulties of jih�d, they receive the reward of waging jih�d which is the most difficult form of 'ib�dah.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"There is no jih�d on women, no jumu'ah, nor do they have to accompany the jan�zah."
Lesson: Here again, look at the rewards that they receive by merely staying at home.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"Allah loves the woman who has love and affection for her husband and safeguards herself from other men."
Lesson: This means that she should not consider it below her dignity to express her love and adulation for her husband as is the habit of certain proud and haughty women.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"Allah has prescribed jealousy for women and jih�d for men. If a woman exercises patience with �m�n in the hope for reward on account of a certain action which may cause her to be jealous, such as her husband marrying a second wife, then she will receive the reward of a martyr."
Lesson: Look at the great reward that a woman receives on account of a little self-control and patience as opposed to the man who has to undergo so many difficulties to receive that reward (i.e. the reward of a martyr).
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"By doing your wife's work you will receive the reward of charity."
Lesson: Look at how the Shar�'ah has shown you the ways of providing comfort to women. It has promised to reward you in such a way that every Muslim will provide comfort to his wife in the hope for this reward.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"The best woman is the one whom when her husband looks at her he is pleased with her, when he orders her to do something she obeys him, and she does not displease him by doing anything contrary regarding his wealth and honour."
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"May Allah have mercy on women who wear iz�r."
Lesson: On account of purdah, wearing the iz�r is something that is natural to women. Despite this, Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam has made du'� for such women. This is a great form of compassion towards women.
Ras�lull�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"The fulfilling of domestic tasks by a woman can cause her to reach the stage of jih�d - Insh�' Allah."
Lesson: How marvellous! There is no end to the bounties of Allah Ta'�l�.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
