The Greatest Woman

 You know something must be wrong when almost every single song has sex as it’s basis. When rap stars get famous after making lyrics that are shameless. When a woman is expected to sleep with a man who doesn’t even know what her name is. And when artists are paid to degrade the very woman that have made them. To the point they are nothing more than pieces of plastic that we can dispose of once they are no longer attractive. It’s sickening and sadistic that this world’s become so misogynistic. And you call me unrealistic, but just listen to the statistics. 7 in 10 men view porn while over 75 million are addicted, 68 million requests a day for pornographic pictures, making 1 in 4 searches sexually related. It’s like nobody even knew she existed until she got naked, degraded, and abused over and over again to gain millions of views. It’s a shame we’ve subdued to a definition of beauty which is so misconstrued. As we judge each others looks off of Facebook likes; Instagram pictures to filter off what we really look like. See we are so obsessed with our outside, that we have slowly lost sight... of who we really are in real life. I mean it’s sad to see how so many teens lose their self-esteem. Looking at these magazines thinking they have to look like what they see. Please you are worth much more than a 2D image on a screen. You are a living breathing human being, if only you knew what you really mean. Just look into your history and begin to read of all the girls in the world who were capable to achieve and you will surely see with certainty. Females like Fatima Al- Fihri who opened the first ever university, Rufaida Al- Aslamiya the first nurse to perform surgery and Aisha bint Abi Bakr the greatest female scholar in eternity. It’s a shame you probably haven’t even heard of these great female prodigies. Honestly, we don’t need to give up our modesty in order to be successful. For you are worth much more than a commodity that is sexual. You have so much more potential, if only you knew you’re worth. You could be like the greatest of all woman to have walked this earth. Like Mary the mother of Jesus(a.s), chosen by Allah to be an example for the believers. A woman who stood strong even when she was abused, falsely accused, and ridiculed for things she would never ever do. So it didn’t really matter when there was nobody else beside her. For she knew that God was Ar- Razzaq: The Ultimate Provider. And she had her trust in him alone. Just like Asiya the wife of Fir’aun, a woman who was brave and courageous, stood up for what was right and didn’t let anybody change this. A woman who was fearless and laughed in the face of death. For she gave up the riches of this life for a palace in the next. Next up Khadija the mother of the believers, a wealthy merchant who had nurtured the Prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h.) for over 25 years. His first wife, the love of his life, and the mother of his kids. She was the first to believe in him when nobody else ever did. She just is… beyond any words that can make you understand so much so that even Allah sent her His Salaam, she was grand. And Allah assured her just like her daughter Fatima bint Muhammad(r.a.) the master of all women in Paradise(heaven). A woman who would shine so bright, she was nicknamed Al-Zahraa: The Splendid with the most generous of hearts. A woman who gave up so much of her food so many times she had no choice but to fast. She would stand up on behalf of her father even as a little girl. And such are the examples of the greatest women in the entire world. And it had nothing to do with how they looked but for whom they really were. So ignore the standard of success defined by society when God said: “The best of mankind are those who have piety”. Regardless of your color, your shape, your race, For God does not look at your bodies, nor does he look at your face rather he looks towards your heart and checks your faith. So at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what the people say or who they think you are. When you could be like the greatest of all women in the eyes of Allah(s.w.t).
