As it was a sunnah of the prophet
salallahu alaihi wasallam, I would just like to
take a minute or 2
to address my my sisters in Islam. My
dear sisters,
as
Allahu
tests
us and tries us and as we hold
on to our iman,
likewise, my sisters, Allahu
will test you and try you. But Allah
has honored you my dear sister in Islam.
You know, we hear
of the wife of Imran mentioned in the
Quran
and that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us
that she had vowed that her child in
her womb
would worship Allah.
And so when she made this vow,
she assumed that Allah will grant her a
boy, a male child.
But when she gave birth,
she gave birth to a female. Allahu, Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, tells us,
When she gave birth, she said, my lord,
I have given birth to a female.
Meaning what?
Meaning even though her expectation was a male,
Allahu, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave her a female.
Now, did she say why?
Did she say, no, I wish I had
a male? No. She
said, or in one recitation,
that Allah is most aware
of what I have given birth to, meaning
this happened by the divine decree of Allah
There is wisdom in Allah that my child
was not born a male, my child was
born a female.
And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reminds us
that a male is not like a female.
What is the message here?
The message here is that Allahu
my dear sister has made you a female,
and the female
has a has an honour
and a way of worshipping Allahu
that men do not. This is why we
find who was this daughter that was born
to the wife of Imran, it was none
other than Mariam
She says, I have named her Mariam. And
today, Mariam
stands as an example
for all women across the world, even non
Muslims recognize
Maryam alayhis salam.
My dear sisters, yes, your challenges may be
different and yes,
women and men have a lot in common,
but we are not the same. We are
equal with Allahu
but we are not the same. We have
many differences, and you will find people telling
you
that differences make you bad.
But our deen teaches us that Allah has
made us different so that we may strengthen
one another
The way you, my sister, can worship Allah
and submit to Allah and sacrifice for Allah
is different than the way I can submit
and sacrifice to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. But
it is only when we come together.
It is only when we uplift one another.
When the men uplift the women and the
women uplift the men that our ummah becomes
strong.
Who is persevering
in Gaza? Is it just the men? Or
is it our dear sisters who are holding
the fort?
Our sisters and our brothers working together. Allahu,
subhanahu wa ta'ala, says,
that the believing
men and the believing women, they are allies
and protectors of one another.
That is the strength of our ummah, my
dear sisters, and this message is from our
brothers as well. That as we look at
our ummah
being divided, we have to stand together.
We have to be there to support one
great.
great.
