Azizah

A Muslimah’s mindset
Discovering that there is nothing wrong, broken or weak about herself. Able to live in the present and makes it so beautiful that her life and existence will be worth remembering

What a Muslimah wants to see in a Muslim?
The example of Prophet Joseph a.s. He is of manly beauty and rectitude, a true man of God who does not receive good fortune with arrogance but as opportunity for doing good to friends and foes alike.

Why are Muslim women different?
They understand that mistakes are easy to erase by the grace of Allah s.w.t. However, they do not purposefully sin and even each step towards sin will cause such a stir in their souls that they seek the Almighty’s forgiveness.

Through vicissitudes of fortune grew in knowledge and power.

FeatureTender is a feature of a Muslimah. She is the one amongst the multitude to choose the path less trodden. She does not give in to the pressure of the society and media which often seeks to exploit the chastity and purity of her mind and body. With the harsh treatment that she may occasionally experience from unsuspecting individuals in her daily interaction with the world, hidden beneath her exterior lies that tender and soft soul which is ever willing to understand while seeking the betterment of others.
She is characterised by purity. Her occasional harsh actions are often tempered by the sincerity to achieve good outcomes. Although her good intentions are often misunderstood or often wrongly interpreted by others, her faith in the Almighty provides her with the tremendous patience one needs in the zest to transform lives.

In her interactions with others, personal modesty is key, whether in thoughts, words, or deeds. She is not a perfect angel but once the sweetness of the Truth strikes her heart, she fears of regressing to a past when she was free to exhibit all tendencies albeit destructive.

Yet, illuminated by the Straight Path of Islam, my Muslim sister will not want to trade it with any temporal pleasure. And the pain and suffering her soul had to bear from multiple losses are endured with utmost Faith that Allah has a plan for her. A plan that she knows will be actualised when she least expects it and which will fill her with intense happiness.
