Quraishi-women participated in the battle led by the wife of Abu Sufyan, Hind bint ‘Utbah. They wandered among the rows of the idolaters, tapped on tambourines, encouraged men to fight, inflamed the emotions of heroes, lancers, swordsmen and brave fighters. At one time they addressed the standard-bearers:
“O Bani ‘Abd Ad-Dar! O home defenders,
Strike with your sharp swords …”
And at another time they would wage people’s zeal by singing:
“If you fight (bravely), we will embrace and unfold mats to welcome you.
But if you flee from the battlefield, we leave you, Desert you and no more love you.”…..
Look at the zeal and bravery of women at the time, towards the struggle in course of Allah in contrast to the cowardice nature of even the so called brave men of today.
The women at the time always wanted to be part of those striving in the course of Allah. They played crucial role in the spread of Islam and also during battles.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age. Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah. Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence.
Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
No matter your gender, you have a significant role to play in the Muslim community and the larger society. You can always do something for the benefit of the Ummah. Hence try your hands on something beneficial to unleash and uncover your veiled potentials. The Muslim community needs me and you to work hard to make it a better place for all and sundry, hence do not relent in your efforts in this regard please.
