The familiar name Khadija (RA), known as Al-Tahira (the Pure). Khadija (RA) is the first woman who accepted Islam. The woman who stood beside her husband, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and her family with courage, love, and patience. Despite the pre-Islamic era's trials and beliefs, she stood firm, confident yet compassionate. She is one of the perfect examples of feminism, not because she was confident or a successful businesswoman, but because she respected the right

When we talk about history, we often remember the famous names behind its greatest achievements, the name that fill our textbooks and the same people who will always be remembered. But history was never shaped by those famous figures alone. Behind many major changes, were people whose contributions were immense, yet we are still unaware about most of them. Among them were women who refused to be defined by limitations. When we speak about women today, the conversation often b

If you were given the chance to meet the woman you will become a year from now, would you recognise her? Would she be someone you are proud to meet? Someone who knows Allah more deeply, carries herself with dignity, speaks with wisdom, serves others with sincerity and moves through the world with confidence without losing her humility? Or would you wonder when, somewhere along the way, you lost your direction? Becoming the woman Allah wants us to be begins with a question we

For generations, the image of a Muslim woman has often been shaped by words such as inferior, oppressed, and unequal. Her faith is questioned, her choices are misunderstood, and even her modesty is sometimes mistaken for weakness. But how did these assumptions become so deeply rooted in the way she is seen?Is it because of her hijab? hijab is a boundary that you set -- they are not a cage. They are a fortress. You are not hidden; you are guarded.The stereotypical culture has

“The world may remember great achievements But heart remembers the kindness they received ” How kindness and Nurturing can change life In this world, people often celebrate success, strength, speed, and achievements. But they sometimes overlook the care, love, and support that make those achievements possible. One of the purest forms of care is the love given by parents who support us, guide us, and help us grow. The quiet power of care can be a gentle word, a small ge

"Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are", is a common saying which we’ve all heard about at least once in our life. But we do not realise how true that sentence is. It's in general concise that humans are social creatures. We evolve alongside one another, so it becomes very clear that in order to move forward in life we need to have a form of relationship with each other. And one such important relationship is that of a friend. Now, just like all that grows t

When I think of sisterhood, I don't think it is just simply having someone beside me. I see it as having someone who walks alongside me—through the laughter, the struggles, the mistakes, and the journey towards Allah (SWT). We are sisters with different personalities and different mindsets, different talents and different interests. When one likes socializing the other likes being silent, when one likes going out the other likes being home, when one gives cool vibes the other

“What could be more beautiful than two heart meeting for the sake of Allah?” Ukhti – A mirror that shows you your faults & A hand that guides you back. Tho we are two souls with different personalities, different qualities, with different thoughts & ideas, different goals and Journey. But when it comes to faith, we are same. We worship and believe the same God and our destination and our final goal to attain Jannah is same. It is the essence of Islam because of which we all a

“Who is the one person you can laugh with without a reason, cry with without feeling embarrassed, and be completely yourself around?” For many of us, the answer would be our best friend. A best friend is not simply someone we spend time with. A true friend becomes a part of our life—a person who knows our stories, understands our silence, notices when something is wrong, and stays beside us through the changing seasons of life. Friendship often begins with something small: a

Close your eyes for a moment and think of her. The sister whose name lights up your phone and instantly makes you smile. The one who knows your voice is off before you've said a word. The one who makes du'a for you when you're not even in the room. Now ask yourself: did you earn her? Did you build that bond with your own two hands? You didn't. Allah gave her to you. A Favour, Not an Achievement We like to think we're good at making friends. We compliment ourselves on our tast

My 8-year-old memory: One day, my friends and I were playing with bicycles. I didn't have a bicycle, so I went and cried. My mom and my dad immediately bought me a bicycle. Then I didn't know how to ride the bicycle. My mother taught me how to ride. My father supported me. I think this is why my mother is my backbone. My mother supports me all the time. She cooked biryani, which was very yummy and tasty, and she specially gave me fried chicken and brinjal pachadi. I love to e

She is my caring person, and whenever I have any problem, she asks me about it. When I wish to eat some food, she makes it for me. When I make mistakes, she corrects me every time. She scolds me sometimes because it's my mistake, but after some time, she loves me. That is my mother. She protects me from every bad thing, my princess, my mother. She is the best in the world. She motivates me in all my problems. She takes care of our family well. Being born as an elder daughter

Some of life's greatest lessons are not taught in classrooms—they are learned quietly at home, through everyday moments and the example of those who love us most. For me, my first and most influential teacher has always been my mother. She might be rude sometimes, she might advise with lengthy paragraphs, yet there are many things to learn from her words and through her actions. She taught me many things, which I usually tell my friends and others to learn. She was once an

A mother's love is unlike any other—it is selfless, unconditional, and enduring. Before we speak our first word, take our first breath or open our eyes to the world, we are already surrounded by her care. Our Mother. There are countless blessings Allah has bestowed upon us, but nothing can be compared to the love of mothers. From the moment a child is conceived, a mother's journey is filled with challenges that often go unnoticed. She willingly bears physical pain, emotional

Do we really honour our mothers? We may quickly say, “Of course we do. We love our mothers.” But perhaps the better question is: Do our actions truly show that love? In today’s busy world, we often find ourselves occupied with studies, phones, friends, social media, and our own plans. Sometimes we become so comfortable with our mothers’ love and care that we begin to take them for granted. We may become impatient when they repeat something, feel irritated when they ask us to

From holding my hands to teach me how to walk, To teaching my heart - the path on which to walk, My mother was my first teacher, My constant radiant cheer - A silent light - A silent guide. She wakes before the morning sun, Her countless duties just begins, From waking us up for the fajr Salah, To leading us towards Sirat al Falah (way of Success), Before I learned to read a page, She taught me faith from a tender age, Not always through words and great displays, But throug

From being scared of her as a child to calling her my best friend as an adult, from hiding my mistakes from her to sharing every little detail of my life with her, from obeying her out of fear to loving her with understanding and respect, from running away after making mistakes to running straight to her with every problem, from misunderstanding her love to appreciating every sacrifice she made, from believing she was too strict to realize she was my strongest support, from k

There is a quiet crisis unfolding around us—so hushed it rarely demands attention, so subtle it disguises itself as convenience. It does not shake buildings or halt economies overnight. Instead, it settles slowly into our habits, shaping how we think, decide, and understand the world around us. It is the slow receding of reading—not the ability to recognise words and language, but the willingness to actually engage with them. Somewhere along the way, the role of reading was r

His works are a matter

ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ١ Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created. خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ٢ -created humans from a clinging clot. [Chapter 96, verse 1 to 2] And the command of the Lord, we shall listen and obey. But how many of us actually actively seek knowledge? To those who do not read, you may think “Oh, reading must be so boring, it's for the nerds”. To those who do read, bu
