Happy Women's Day
International Women's Day
Kudos to all the women of this world
A day to acknowledge the extraordinary work done by all women.
Then whether she is holding the highest position in a country or a common woman, girl or a little girl who may have opened her eyes in this world today.
And obviously, this little girl has not done any great things yet, but her coming into this world, her presence alone is enough to celebrate today.
Only a woman's existence has been given as a gift of honour by Allah, the Highest. When she is born, she is born with this respect.
A man has to earn respect though. He has to work hard to earn this respect.
Women's Day is a day to celebrate their dignity.
You are important. You have important things to do. When you are a daughter, you are the arm and courage of your parents. If there is a sister, then the brother's respect and support are also there. If you are a wife, you are the means of fulfilling your husband's religion, and if you are a mother, your bosom is as sacred as a school.
Today is the day to recognize your special status. Renewal Day.
You cannot ask for your rights from anyone because you have to train people who will give rights to others.
You have a great responsibility.
Don't take any of your work for granted. A housewife, if she performs the daily chores of her house with good intentions and sincerity, is of the status of a man doing Jihad on the battlefield.
Just take a pledge today that you will start giving rights instead of asking for them. Start giving all the women under your management and under your shadow their rights and treat them the same way you ask for yourself.
The observation is that somewhere in society's general attitude, it is a woman who is the usurper of the legitimate right of another woman. If women are united and have compassion for each other, then the man will have to give the woman all her rights.
Always the woman has taken the initiative. Our mother Hazrat Khadija R.A. was the first to believe and believe in the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
Take the initiative. Because only you can.
