An Example of Noble Character
English book, p. 294
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
The result of this difference in qualities is that, in most circumstances, the spheres of responsibility for both often become distinct. This distinction further benefits them in that both become ideal advisers to one another. From the perspective of their respective roles, one is often deeply immersed in certain experiences while the other remains somewhat detached and is thus able to think more objectively. This creates a situation where, if one of them is thinking under the influence of emotional involvement, the other can guide them from a place of unaffected reasoning. WOMEN OF PARADISE The Quran describes all the essential qualities that a woman of Paradise must possess. These traits make a woman deserving of forgiveness and great reward. They guarantee her salvation from punishment in the Hereafter. According to the Quran (33:35 and 66:5), these qualities are as follows: Faith, Islam, Devotion, Truthfulness, Patience, Humility, Charity, Fasting, Guarding Chastity, Remembrance of God, Repentance, Worship, and Spiritual Discipline. 1. Faith means the conscious recognition of the Creator and Master. That is, to discover one’s Lord in such a way that He becomes central to one’s thoughts, takes hold of the heart, and one’s entire personality becomes illuminated with divine light.
