4. THE STATUS OF WOMAN

4. The status of woman ~ 56 ~ This verse draws our attention to the fact that nothing is perfect in this world and that apparent imperfection may conceal some virtue. If in certain respects a woman is imperfect, there will be other respects in which she is perfect: it is her plus points, rather than her minus points, on which attention should be focussed. Only those can succeed in the outside world who have learned this lesson at home, that is, seeing light where there is darkness and discovering plus points along with minus points. Therein lies the secret of success in the Modern world. 47. Qur’an, 4:19. MOTHER IS MORE HONORABLE According to Abu Hurayrah, a man once came to the Prophet and asked him: “O Messenger of God, who rightfully deserves the best treatment from me?” “Your mother,” replied the Prophet. “Who is next?” asked the man. “Your mother,” said the Prophet.
