biggrin.gif Asalaamu Alaykum Sisters!!!!

I have been corresponding with my mother via email, and I wanted to share some of what she has said......

Basically from day one she was happy about my conversion to Islam Alhamdulillah, and when I was married she was even more thrilled!! Alhamdulillah!!!!!!

Now I am asking for any help or advice or information that I can pass on to her, she has been studying the books I have given her, and engaging other family members into conversations about Islam...and so on but she has not yet said the Shahadah.(unless she is keeping it secret?)

Sisters if you could please share any stories or information on someone who believes but does not say shahadah, or even share words of encouragement for my mother so i can send this thread to her, also I will InshaAllah send her the threads for "whats stooping you" and "whats your story"  InshaAllah this site will be very Inspirational for her.

here is why I need soooo much help...please read this and then u will understand...

These are actual words written from my mother!
From a Letter in regards to my Husband.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When I or any of my other family members see them together, there is no doubt that she loves him and he loves her.

My daughter has never been happier or more settled or content in her life.

I will share a sentiment that I wrote in a card for my son-in-law on their wedding day.

After my daughter adopted the Muslim faith, I believe that Allah looked down on her and knew he must find the most loving, the best man he could find to be her guide, her teacher, and her husband.  I believe he chose him for my daughter.

I love him as a son.    Both my daughter and her husband know that they have my heartfelt blessings.   I would do anything for them.  I pray for a long, loving, and happy life together for both of them, God Willing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is another part of an email:


"To:  My Daughter, who I always knew was a jewell!

The article was wonderful !  I will share it with others that may not yet understand."

"I will talk to you soon... InshaAllah........
Love you..........Tell My Son-In Law I love him too.    
Be good to each other   :=)
I hope that both of you praise Allah for sending you to each other........What a most wonderful gift!!!."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Alhamdulillah!!!!  this is my Mother who is not even Muslim, I am hoping you can all see why I need your duas InshaAllah and  help with information...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray that My mother is guided and also all our family members whom we love, Ameen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take care sisters, and Jazakum Allah khairan in advance biggrin.gif

Assalamu Alaikum,

Mash'Allah sis!! May Allah guide her. Have you shared with her stories of Jannah and Jannahm?? That really "smartened" me up!!

Also, may I ask which articles it was that you shared with your mom? I have tried sending my mother some articles and information but she just criticizes them.  :cry:

Take Care. Insha'Allah it is just a matter of time before your mom embraces islam.

Asalaamu Alaykum,  smile.gif

Thank you sister, yes InshaAllah it is only a matter of time...

this was the article I sent her and some other sisters.

I try and send my mother nice articles, or beautiful Islamic poetry also she has a stack of books about Islam now....so she is pretty busy reading biggrin.gif  I have a book about Paradise and Hell, its actually called "The Final Day~Paradise and Hell~In the Light of The Quran and Sunnah" By. Dr.Umar Sulayman Al-Ashqar.
So InshaAllah i will give her this book also.

Here is the article: from
http://www.allaahuakbar.net/womens/this_me...ealed_jewel.htm

This Message is to You O Concealed Jewel,
O Protected Rose !

It is to you, the Cultivator of Generations, Producer or Great Men. I will point out in it some of what Islaam requires of the individual and the society concerning the rights of women

1. Have you seen the Jewel? Why is it that the people love it while it is simply a piece of stone? It is because it is not so easy to see it, nor can you touch it except by paying an exorbitant price. Similar is the case of the woman – it is forbidden for a man to see her or touch her, in order that he does not dishonor her. She is like an untouched (pure) jewel, which is affected by the least touch.

2. Have you seen how a rose wilts, withers, and loses it luster and beauty if it is touched too much. Likewise, the woman is not allowed to be touched except by one in a lawful relationship of marriage. And whoever attempts to touch her – unlawfully – will earn a severe punishment or death.

3. Do you know the punishment for one who violates the marriage trust and cheats on his wife? The penalty is death, since he has fallen short in regards to the jewel which is with him, in addition to transgressing the rights of others.

4. Have you seen a jewel searching for a person (to possess it)? The same is the case of the women, like a precious jewel, she is the one who is sought out, not the seeker. It is incumbent upon the man to seek her hand. And if she agrees to marry him, then he will present to her a marriage dowry and something from his wealth.

5. Consider the Ruler or Head of State – if every one were able to speak to him directly and sit in his presence, he wouldn't be held in awe, nor possess the same prestige and status amongst the people that he has. Similarly, the woman is like a noble Queen. It is not the right of every person to speak to her directly or sit in her presence; this is something allowed to the select few.

6. The Supreme Being has created the male strong of body in order that he may go out and earn his livelihood, even in difficult circumstances. This is so that he may serve the women and children of his family. As for the woman, she has been created gentle, soft and sensitive, so that she may cultivate the future generations. The man goes out and works with the natural elements, while the woman deals with the human being (raising the children).

7. What do you think would happen if a lion and gazelle were placed together in one place? Is it possible for them to co-exist? Obviously not! Likewise, it is of necessity that the man be separated from the woman, in the interest of the woman. She is beautiful, attractive and weak. Hence, the strong will overcome her and devour her and violate her chastity – even if she were not willing.

8. The woman who performs work equal to the work of a man is entitled to – and is given – the same salary as the man.

9. The woman is allowed to work in any occupation, which she is capable of, as long as it is in consonance with the nature of her delicate physique.

10. The woman – like man - is addressed in the divine revelation with responsibilities for which she - like man - is equally rewarded.

11. The woman is excused from certain religious ceremonies and obligations during her post-child birth and menstrual periods, since these conditions are a cause of weakness and hence, she is in need of rest and relaxation.

12. If a woman dies while giving birth to a child, she is rewarded with the highest station in Paradise.

13. The person who is killed while defending his mother, wife, daughter or sister will be rewarded with the highest station in Paradise.

14. It is permissible for a woman to seek a separation from her husband if he has failed to fulfill her marital rights.

15. Is there anything more valuable to the human being than his life? Indeed, the honor and dignity of women is more valuable, precious and important to the Muslim than his own life.

16. It is permissible for the woman to remarry – whomever she desires – if he is divorced from her husband or widowed.

17. If a woman possesses wealth, she is free to use it in any lawful way, without permission of anyone [father, husband or others].

18. The woman has the right to the inheritance of her relative – at the time of his death – even if he does not desire that she receive it.

19. It is obligatory upon the man to spend his wealth for the maintenance – housing, food, etc. – of those under his care including his mother, wife or daughter, even if he doesn't desire to do so.

20. The mother has been given preference over the father – three times over – concerning their right to kindness and benevolence from their children.

22. Whoever truly desires paradise – Know that paradise lies at the feet of the mother, for the one who pleases her.

23. Whoever has daughters and treats them well – they will be a cause of him being screened from the hell-fire.

23. If a man kills a woman intentionally, he no longer deserves to live and will be killed, even if the victim was his wife.

24. The Messenger of Allaah – Blessings of Allaah and Peace be Upon him – advised concerning the woman: Treat the women well. He also said: The best of you are those who are the best in the treatment of their wives. He also said: No one honors the woman except an honorable man. And no one humiliates her or holds her in contempt except one who is evil, vile, wicked and depraved.

With these words I address you – as someone of intelligence:
Is there any greater Honor than this?

as salamu alaikum,
                             HEY SISTER!  it has been soooo long since youve posted.  how have you been? i missed you! :wink:  biggrin.gif  

                               i suggest you telling your mother to listen to "how i came to islam" by abdur-raheem green...and "why should you be muslim" by dawud adib....both on the islamway website.  these should be quite encouraging insha allah.   also i would explasin to her the urgency of shahada to the best of your ability not to pressure her but just to let her know why it is absolutely impairative fir the believer to profess this and only allah knows when we will die.  aside from these things and what you are already doing sister just pray and leave it to allah ta ala to put it on her heart you know?  my prayers are with you both...as salamu alaikum
