"A believer is a mirror to his brother. A believer is a brother of a believer: he protects him against any danger and guards him from behind."

Pious Women (And Allah Knows Best)
{Nay, those who keep their promise and practice righteousness, verily God loves those who are pious (practice righteousness)} (3:76)
Allah has set forth the wife of Pharaoh as an example for all the believers when she said: "My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise (al-Jannah), and save me from Pharaoh and his work, and save me from the people who are Dhaalimoon (polytheists, wrongdoers, and disbelievers in Allah)." (Soorah At-Tahreem, 66:11)
Pharaoh was among the most haughtiest and disbelieving of people. Yet, by Allah, his wife was not harmed by her husband's disbelief and instead obeyed her Rabb.
Abu Ja'far Ar-Raazi relates that Abu 'Aaliyah said: The Eemaan of the wife of Pharaoh came through...

While awaiting trial she was subjected to the most terrible and inhumane torture. This book describes in a captivating manner the ordeal which this Muslim activist went through in the notorious Egyptian prisons. Instead of dampening her enthusiasm for Islaam and the Islamic movement, the afflictions and savageries in Nasir's prisons increased her commitment and dedication to the cause of Islaam. This autobiographical work can be considered a historic document in that its author was an active witness to... Pious Women 03 Jan 2010 Hits:597 {youtube}RbKfdKT1BAY{/youtube}
Imaam al-Bukhaari, Abu 'Abdillah Muhammad Ibn Ismaa'eel Ibn Ibraahim Ibn Al-Mughirah Ibn Bardizbah Al-Bukhaari, was born in 194 AH/810 CE in Bukhara in the territory of Khurasan (West Turkistan).
Imaam al-Bukhaari was one of the greatest compilers of ahaadeeth (Prophetic Narrations). His father died while he was still in his infancy and his upbringing was left entirely to his mother, who looked after his health and education very carefully and spared nothing in order to provide him with the best education.
Historians relate a remarkable incident that occurred during the Imaam's childhood. He became blind at a young age. He had recourse... Pious Women 03 Jan 2010 Hits:539 From the time I could remember, I mostly saw sadness and a concern over my mothers face. She, who should not be so old looking in her age, looked about ten years above her age.
She would spend time thinking about matters, thinking very deep. I used to wonder what made her so old so soon…
She told me that she never liked sins even from her childhood and whenever a sin was thought of, somehow Allah took her heart away from it. She once told me how, (before I was born), her friends would come to take her to the cinema... Pious Women 03 Jan 2010 Hits:540 Seven centuries had passed since the Zubaydah canal, which brought water to Makkah from outlying springs, had been constructed. The passage by now had reached a bad state of repair, with the wells and springs having dried up and the canal now being full of sand and stones.
It was 965 AH (1557 AD) when a Turkish princess Fatimah, daughter of the Uthmaani ruler Sultan Salim came along. She took on the task of rebuilding the 'Zubaydah canal'. The rebuilding of the canal was extremely difficult and involved Egyptian, Syrian and Yemeni engineers and masons.
On the canal's route, there was a... Pious Women 03 Jan 2010 Hits:482
The people of Maisan (a valley of many small towns between Basra and Wasit in Iraq) had collected an army against the Muslims. Mughirah bin Shu'bah took the Muslim army and went out to wait for them at Al-Murghab (a river) but the enemy did not appear straight away. Azdah, who was with the women back at the Muslim base camp, said,
"Our men are busy in combat with the enemy and I do not feel secure, as the enemy might turn back upon us, and we do not have anyone here to prevent them.
And I also fear that the enemy... Pious Women 03 Jan 2010 Hits:708Aasiyah, the Wife of Pharaoh
