💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 On earth where most ladies tend to be competitive,
Where they compare themselves to others and get jealous,
Only one kind of contest matters to the righteous -
To win Allah's Love and pass His tests with the pious.
~•~
We're not here to flaunt who is the most educated,
Who got the most awards and the best certificates,
Who's most skillful in art, fabulous at cosmetics,
And who's famous, or whose love life is most romantic.
~•~
If you're in the wrong race, it's no big deal if you've lost,
If you don't measure up to the materialistic,
Or you're not counted as "classy", "hot" or "rich" enough.
Allah, not His slaves, is the Only One to judge us.
~•~
The most noble of souls are those whom Allah guided,
Whom Allah blessed with knowledge, ethics, self-awareness,
Eagerness to improve and from vice they're protected,
Discernment of the truth, applying faith and courage.

Some lessons to learn from Khadija bint Khuwaylid:
Tough wives care for their men, they can run their own business,
In a decent method, through guardians or assisted,
They can propose or make themselves ready for marriage.
~•~
From caliph Ali's wife, Fatima bint Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam),
We learn to be daughters who are brave and supportive,
Wives who are hardworking and gratefully contented,
Mothers who show wisdom in educating their kids.
~•~
From Maryam bint 'Imran - mother of Prophet Jesus,
We learn "Only Allah is the One to be trusted",
With Tawakkal and firm faith/Imaan we can manage
And survive, even if we earn some people's hatred.
~•~
From Aasiyah bint Muzahim, we are motivated
To patiently persevere and do well in each test,
To keep seeking help from Allah, when hurt or oppressed,
And always aim for Jannah where there's eternal rest.
~•~
That's our mission, sisters, to pass all of Allah's tests,
With Sabr, Shukr, Taqwa, and ongoing progress
Towards Jannah while praying for Allah's Forgiveness,
Grateful we did our best to join those who stayed pious.

The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
