HONORABLE WOMEN IN THE QURAN

Hawwa R.A was created from Adam A.S and was his spouse. She was the first woman to be created by Allah and served as the source of life. She was the Mother of Mankind.

Her repentance in Quran serves as a reminder for all humans that they are bound to sin. However, what differentiates a true believer from a disbeliever is the ability to ask Allah for forgiveness and better themselves. The story of Adam and Hawwa also reminds us of Allah’s forgiveness and gives hope to all Muslims.

Asiya was the wife of the tyrant and most powerful man to walk earth at the time, the Pharaoh of Egypt. She took Musa (A.S) in as he got off the shore and convinced her husband to adopt him as a son. Musa (A.S) grew under her protection, to become a great Prophet of Allah. When Musa (A.S) called people to believe in Allah, Pharaoh tortured and severely punished all those who believed in Musa (A.S) including his own wife, Asiya. But despite living in wealth and luxury, Asiya firmly believed in Allah and knew her true home was in Paradise. She willingly gave up her life and all the glitter in it to submit to Allah’s will.

Those qualities that the wife of Musa (A.S) observed are the ones women should look for in men when considering marriage. Another lesson is that it’s okay for Muslims (men and women) to like someone. What matters is that you approach them in the right way, with Haya (shyness) and respect, and a sincere intention to marry. Finally, Musa’s wife was a working woman. The way she approached men with dignity while being properly covered should serve as a guide for all working Muslim women and encourage them to observe Haya like she did.
