The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The just will be seated upon pulpits of light." Those who are fair with regards to their judgement and their family and those who are under them."

[Muslim]

'A'isha (May Allah be pleased with her) said: How good are the women of Ansar (helpers) that their shyness does not prevent them from learning religion.

-Sahih Muslim 332c

✨ From the early days of Islam, women were empowered to seek knowledge and grow in their understanding of faith.

💫 Be like the women of the Ansar:

• Never be shy to learn, to grow.

✨ Let your heart find peace in this truth: Nothing is worthy of your worship, love, or fear more than Allah. So turn to Him in every need. Leave false hopes behind.✨

That is because Allah is the Truth, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allah is the Most High, the Grand.

In today’s world, where a single glance is just a swipe away, the test of lowering our gaze has become even greater. It’s easy to fall into the trap of staring at what we shouldn’t — whether it’s online, or on TV.

But true faith shows in what we choose to avoid, even when no one is watching. Don’t fool yourself by thinking, “I can handle it”. The command to lower our gaze applies to both men and women.

Sometimes remaining silent is not a weakness — it is a sign of strength and wisdom. When we control our tongues, we protect our faith and open our hearts to truly understand others. In silence, there is safety for the soul and clarity for the mind.
