Women must have their own study arenas



It is important that the believing women understands that free mixing of the sexes is strongly prohibited in Islam.  Women need to learn the need as it is a right and responsibilty upon every muslim, and women must learn in a separate arena from the men. This is shown in this hadith:
Narrated by Abu Huraira: a group of women came to Allah’s prophet(salallahu aleyhi wa salaam) and said to him: “we cannot attend your majlis (gathering) of men, so, appoint us a day to come to you (alone).” He(salallahu aleyhi wa salaam) said: “we will meet at the house of so and so.” He(salallahu aleyhi wa salaam) went to them on the specified date and place. Among what he said at that day to the present women was “any woman who raises up three children for the sake of Allah will enter paradise.” One woman said: “and two?” “and two,” the prophet(salallahu aleyhi wa salaam) said.

For my dear friend




"I begin in the name of Allah,Most Kind,Most Merciful. From Muhammad, Allah's Messenger to Mu'az- Ibn-Jabal. May the peace of Allah be on you.l  praise Allah before you,the One besides whom there is none worthy of worship.
After praising and glorifying Allah, (I say the following.) May Allah give you great reward and may He guide you to exercise patient endurance and may He (also) guide us and you to be grateful to Him.Surely, our souls, wealth and families are wonderful gifts from Allah Azza Wajalla which He has loaned to us so that we may take benefit from them for a set period; and he takes them away after the termination of that period Thus, gratitude becomes binding on us when He gives, and patience becomes obligatory when He takes away.Your mom was also from among the wonderful gifts (of Allah) and a loan (from Him) AIlah enabled you to enjoy him in away that was both enviable (to others) and pleasing (to you); and now, in return for great reward, mercy and forgiveness  providing you exercise patience- he has taken her away from you. So do exercise patience and do not let your bewailing and complaining destroy your reward, for you will be sorry (if this happens) Know that bewailing and complaining does not help bring back anything nor does it repel grief and sorrow. And whatever is to happen is set to happen. May you be in peace."
