A daughter once asked her mother, “Mom, I have heard about diamonds and rubies and also gold and silver. Which is the most precious jewel?” Her mother replied, “Jewels of gold, silver, diamonds and rubies are all only stones, and do not shine, unless they are burnt and polished. For me, you are my precious jewel. In fact, every daughter is a gem, irreplaceable! I would like to decorate you with such jewels and gems, which will bring you honour and respect, and add a glow to your dignity and character. • Clothe yourself with Taqwa, and adorn yourself with the most precious jewel of piety. • Take care of your head! It is the closest to Allah (swt) in Sujud, so make your prostrations lengthy. • Keep your head cool and low (out of humility) when amongst people. Let Allah (swt) raise it high. • Keep your hands immersed in work and tongue moist in Dhikr. That’s the essence of the women of Jannah. • Raise your hands, shed tears, and share your thoughts and feelings only in front of Allah (swt). • Lower your gaze and adorn it with the emeralds of contentment. If you have gold, it’s not that you will not turn old. But if you have character, it will build your Akhirah. If you have lots of brocade and silk in your closet, But elegance will be disclosed by your deeds’ facet. If you are not endowed with diamonds or pearls, Remember, through your speech and smile you glitter. And scatter the beauty of Islam. Through reverence in covering your Awrah. And reveal what is permissible, and be it little, be happy with Halal and pure. That’s the true essence of a Muslimah. Her daughter replied: “True! I am blessed to have a mother, who knows my true value and wants the best for me in this life as well as hereafter.” May Allah (SWT) guide all the daughters of the Ummah.. Ameen
