(I m still student so can not offord anything else..lol!)

These people have set great examples in Life



MAADHAH BINT ABBDULLAH ADVYAH:


She was a student of Aisha(R.A.), the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)'s wife. After her husband's death she vowed not to lie in bed When she would fall asleep she would wake herself up by going for a walk and say to herself, "I won't let you sleep, you will have the chance to sleep well when you are in the grave". It is said that once when she fell ill, the physician advised her to take nabiz (a non alcoholic fermented beverage prepared from malt and dates). She held the cup containing nabiz and said, "O Allah! You know that Aisha(R.A.) conveyed the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)'s word, as he had prohibited consuming nabiz".



AISHA BINT TALHA:

The grand daughter of Abu Bakr(R.A.), and was taught by the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)'s wife Aisha(R.A.).Abu Zahra the early Muslim said, "Aisha was cited because of her authentic knowledge". Aisha was also graced with physical beauty. Once Caliph Hisham invited her to his court where she engaged dialogue with eminent scholars of different fields. The Caliph was so impressed with her knowledge that he gave her a gift of 100,000 dirhams.



HAFZAH BINT SIRIN (d. 101 AH)

The sister of the scholar Muhammad ibn Sirin, she had memorised the Quran by the age of 12, and by the age 14 she was well versed in the exegesis (explanation) of the Quranic verses. She became famous for her beautiful recitation of the Quran. Her recitation was of such a high standard that when her brother had difficulty with recitation he would ask her to correct him.



NUFAYSAH BINT HASAN (d. 208 AH)

Known for her committment to Islam, she would frequently fast, and it is reported that she performed hajj over 30 times. The scholar Imam Shafi, is said to have learned and been taught from her. Imam Shafi thought so much of her that he stated in his will that he wanted his funeral procession to pass by her home - and when it passed by her home she prayed the funeral prayer. She died during the month of Ramadan whilst reciting the Quran.



RIBAH QAYSI's WIFE

She was known for spending much of the night in prayer. In the early parts of the night she would begin to pray. She would wake her husband, but if he didnt wake up she would pray. Sometime later she would try again, but if he failed to wake, she would pray. And again, some time later she would try again. Sometimes she picked up straw from the ground and would say "By Allah, I regard the worldly vanities less than this". Occassionally she would dress in a shiny dress at night and ask her husband if he wanted her company (intimacy) in bed - the times he would say no, she would resort to prayer instead



RABIYAH KHATUN



The sister of the Muslim General Salahuddin al Ayubbi, she was well educated and established a great institution bfor religious learning near Damascus. She established a waqf (trust) in the form of an endownment of a very large property which met the expenses that were generated by the institution.




UKHTUL MAZNI

The sister of al-Mazni (the noted student of Imam Shafi), she was a highly placed scholar of Islamic Jurisprudence. It is said that because of her knowledge her opinions were highly respected including the difference of opinion she had with Imam Shafi regarding the zakat which was to be paid on minerals.

Salam - something I find very interesting - why are there so many, many posts about what makes a good Muslim woman and wife - how come there are only 1 or two posts that I found telling the MEN what to do to be good Muslim men and husbands? I think the men need just as many reminders and as much personal work as, if not more than, the women.

I would love to read something on men if I can find it. Not only to be a better muslim but also so I can be a better son, brother, work collegue & friend. Oh and when the time comes, for my wife as well.

Edit: We do have many examples of amazing men, masha'Allah. First of all, there is the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) many of whose actions are recorded in hadith. Then there are the most dutiful sahabahs like Abu Bakr (ra) (I find him so amazing for being such a support to the Prophet (pbuh), Umar (ra), Ali (ra), Usman (ra) & while there are many more sahabahs well documented for their actions, two more really really stand out. Hanzalah (ra) (Insha'Allah, I'll name my son after him) & Wahb (ra) both of whom were among the victors (Shaheeds) in Uhud.

Wa alaykum Salam,

Yes, there is a lot for men to do too. Men in their roles as husbands, fathers, sons, nephews have great responsibility towards their family.

I think these posts are simply due to the range of material available online. There are certainly many verses from the Quran and Hadith of our Prophet:saw: to guide and remind men of their roles.

The life of the Prophet Muhammad :saw: and that of his companions is a guide too.

InshaAllah, will try and do something about this later, when I get time. Probably after my exams in January.

wasalam.

Assalam Alaikum, I totally understand what you mean, I do think there is a fair amount of stuff for the Brothers, but there could always be more tips for us all.

I watched this video the other day, and I really enjoyed it, Inshallah, all brothers should watch it, married or unmarried, it will help them Inshallah, the sisters can also benefit from it as well.

this is a link for the video, but I think you can find it on other sites as well, like on lightuponlight.com

Jazak'allakyran Brother

If it is not considered too forward on my behalf, I would say that the knowlege of Islam would be the most valuable mahr a man could give his wife.

Insha'allah when you chose to marry, may Allah guide you to a woman who recognises what is truly valuable.
