The Seed of the Morning

Allah opened her heart for the Da'wah to Islam, so she opens her house for weekly Islamic lectures and lessons. Every week since then, she gives a lesson she prepares or invites another sister to give a lecture and invites many sisters to attend this lessons. After every lessons, she sells books and tapes about Islam and proper Hijjab for Muslim women. Whatever she earns from these sells, she gives to the orphans, the poor and other charity projects.

Everyday before she starts her housework, she reads one page from the Quran, then starts her regular housework with a good heart and invokes Allah for forgiveness.

She frequently raises her hands to heaven invoking Allah for guidance and glory for the Muslim Nation. She tries to invoke Allah during the recommended times and begs Him with a heart certain in the deliverance. She once asked her female relative, "When was the last time you invoked Allah with humility and humbleness?". She replied,"Months pass before I invoke Allah with sincere heart. I frequently invoke Him, but that invocation is often without humbleness or humility; these feelings have almost vanished from our invocation of Allah!"

She restricts her use of telephone to keeping good ties to her relatives, enjoing righteousness, forbidding evil and (occasionally) for ordinary tasks of life.

Allah has given her great wealth, and she often thanks and praises Him for His bounties and favors. She has several servants and makes good use of them by helping them cook a large amount of light meals and distributes them to working mothers for a minimal price. She then gives away what she earns for charity causes.

Even though she is still very young, whenever she starts the prayer, her family knows that her prayer will not end soon! She strives to offer the prayer perfectly and on time, often extending it seeking Allah's pleasure. She does not pray fast as some people do, who prays as fast as a cock picks seeds from the ground!

Whenever she can, she listens to the Quran station, which broadcasts Quran recitation, Islamic lectures and good words of advice. What she hears dispels loneliness, repels the devils and fills her house with tranquility and mercy.

She visits women's workshops carrying Islamic books in Arabic and other languages and distributes them to the workers and visitors of these shops. Her efforts are modest, but several women has embraced Islam as a result. How many women do the same as this good Muslim woman?
