PIOUS WOMEN

The mother of Abû Dhar Ghifâri ra d iyallâhu ‘anhu

Abû Dhar Ghifâri is a S a h âbî. When the news of Rasûlullâh's s allallâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam prophethood spread, he left his hometown and came to Makkah in order to establish the truth. After observing the situation in Makkah, he became a Muslim. When he returned home, his mother heard his entire story. She replied: "I have no objection to your Dîn . I am also becoming a Muslim."

Lesson : This is what is known as purity in nature and temperament. Once she heard the truth, she did not worry about the religion of her forefathers. O women! Even when you hear anything about the Sharî‘ah , do not try to contradict it by substantiating your family customs and rituals. You should readily accept the matter of Dîn and act accordingly.
