↓ 10 – I Am Not Forced To Go Out Of My Comfort Zone

The first reason I am grateful for is that as a Muslim lady, whether I wear a hijab or not, I am truly blessed that I don’t have to warmly greet, or embrace anybody of the other gender. Indeed, I realize it may sound weird to few — particularly as some Muslim ladies approve of embraces and handshakes — yet it’s something numerous Muslim ladies unobtrusively submit to. Its a blessing in disguise.

↓ 9 – I Have My Own Individual Identity

The second reason that I am truly grateful to Allah is that He has given me this right as a Muslim to keep my family name even after my marriage. To be blessed with a family that has been supportive throughout; tremendously in my childhood, during teenage to adulthood endeavors is magnanimous and to be able to keep that with you always is cherished by every Muslim girl. Individuals tune in to what I need to state and spotlight on my message rather than simply my face or body, which is a colossal benefit. They find a good character and discover that what characterizes me as an individual depends altogether on my conduct, not my looks.

↓ 8 – I Get To Choose My Partner

With the advent of Islam, women were exalted to a status that was never before given. A woman cannot be married without her consent, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said in a hadith recorded by Bukhari and Muslim, and forced marriage is prohibited. Scholars differ on the role of the guardian (wali): the Hanafi school allows an adult woman to contract her own marriage, while the majority require a wali. See love marriage in Islam. Every Muslim girl has the right to say no or yes with regards to their choice for marriage. Here are 100+ Islamic Marriage Quotes For Husband and Wife.

↓ 7 – I Don’t Have Any Monetary Obligation Towards the Family

The next reason for being a proud Muslim woman is that in Islam money related security is guaranteed for ladies. Women in Islam have been given monetary security. According to the majority of scholars, she is not obliged to spend from her own property or income on the household, though she may do so voluntarily, which is a source of reward. Haq Mehar, (marriage gift given by the husband) is essential to be given on the day of Nikkah  She is entitled to maintenance from her husband during marriage, and scholars agree she has rights to maintenance and housing during her ‘Iddah (waiting period) after a revocable divorce; the schools differ on the details after an irrevocable divorce. If she has children, the father is responsible for their support. Consult a qualified scholar for a specific case.

↓ 6 – I Am Given Special Treatment

There are so many more reasons that I feel truly grateful to Allah the Almighty.  For now, coming to the next reason is the relaxation in ibadah during the menstrual cycle, when a woman does not pray or fast (she makes up missed fasts later, but not missed prayers); see periods in Islam. A pregnant or nursing woman who fears harm to herself or her child is also permitted to delay her fasts, and scholars differ on whether she must make them up or give fidyah. In addition, a hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad counts a woman who dies in childbirth among the martyrs.

↓ 5 – I Have The Most Supportive and Loving Religious Culture

Next in line, the explanation for this gratefulness is again the advantage I have on the grounds that my religion isn’t a culture rather our culture has adopted itself according to Islam. Culture is something you’re brought into the world with, such as being Native American or Korean. Religion is something you pick consciously and subconsciously. I love being a Muslim each and every day. I am truly grateful to Allah Almighty for this blessing. I love the strong bond that Muslim women share throughout the world. Whenever I’m traveling and I’m in any sort of difficulty, I know I can always count on Muslim women around me for help and it makes me grateful for being a part of such amazing sisterhood.

↓ 4 – I Am Protected By All

We are special because in Islam we are given safeguards in the form of our brothers, fathers, husbands, and sons. It is their duty to clothe, protect and feed them.  These relations are based on the utmost respect and reverence.

↓ 3 – I Know My Worth

I am special since Islam explains my motivation throughout everyday life and causes me to understand what is genuinely significant as a woman. We have our roles defined as sisters, daughters and wives and Islam has guaranteed that all these are loaded with the element of respect. They are so delicately balanced that one marvels at each right. As mothers, Islam has exalted us to the highest level: when a man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) who deserved his best companionship, he answered “your mother” three times (Bukhari and Muslim).

↓ 2 – I Have The Most Amazing Role Models

As a Muslim woman, I believe I’m lucky to have the best female role models to look up to. Hazrat Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her), the first person to accept Islam, was a successful businesswoman and an incredibly supportive and loving wife. Then there are the examples of Hazrat Fatima, Hazrat Ayesha and so many other women throughout Islamic history who continue to inspire us.

↓ 1 – I Am Content

Lastly, I am special since I am content with my life. Most importantly, spirituality is at its peak regarding women in Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told Aisha that the best jihad for women is an accepted Hajj (Bukhari), and women can attain high status through faith and good deeds in every circumstance. We can do it by just following the principles that Islam has provided us. We don’t go to liquor for a buzz or medications when we need an adrenaline surge or to soothe our worries. We practice my religion and go to seek Allah’s advice on everything. I am advantaged in light of the fact that being a Muslim it’s my obligation to supplicate and advocate for harmony. I ask Allah (SWT) for direction, give my full in helping other people any way I can and afterward leave any extra vulnerability, uncertainty, and dread of things to come in the hands of God.
