A well-known sister and caller to Allah/Qur'an teacher in Saudi named Nawal al-Jum'a passed away yesterday. Her news came as a shock to many because her health deteriorated suddenly and within 3 days, she returned to her Lord. We're so used to reading about brothers smiling during their death, but her friends who saw her in the funeral washing room say that her face was so pure and white...and her smile was so radiant. This woman was a true example of what sisters should be in Islam. She dedicated her life to memorizing and then teaching the Qur'an to girls in middle school, and for many years she was knowing for her 'musala' (prayer area). She would encourage so many girls to come and pray, let them give reminders, and make them love the Qur'an. Sister Nawal (rahimaha Allah) should be an example to all the Muslims sisters who aspire to make a change in their life: do it with the Qur'an. She is also a reminder for the sisters who waste their time in superficial matters, so engrossed with the beauty and fashion, while forgetting the beauty of Islam, Qur'an, and her own self worth coming from her modesty and conduct.
Being granted a good ending is not restricted to martyrs or to brothers only, even sisters are granted that as well. If you're a sister reading this...don't waste any more of your life. Go to Allah, learn Islam, wear hijab, drop those bad friends, cover your body, memorize the Qur'an, treat your husband kindly...live the life which will grant you everything you wanted. It's called happiness.
