Raising Righteous Generations - III





Many girls desert their books soon after they finish formal education and do not read anymore. Thus, they relapse into a state of ignorance because they do not have anything to do with books. They devote themselves entirely to caring about their clothes, adornment, and sampling the good things in life. However, these interests are temporal and related to the worldly life only.

Muslim women should bear in mind that they are members of the Muslim community. Thus, they wield influence on it and are also affected by it. They are not socially marginal or unimportant. It is not befitting for a Muslim woman to have a negative outlook in life or to be dependent on others. In fact, having such an attitude points towards an ungrateful personality, since it shows an attempt to exchange what is better for that which is base. The Ummah (Muslim nation) waits for its grateful sons and daughter to restore its past glories.
