"Glimpses of True Beauty from the Lives of Pious Women " (Book Review)

This book teaches us
Modesty, Selflessness, Bravery, Sacrifice, Compassion, Forgiveness, Generosity, Simplicity, Taqwa & Sabr (amongst alot of other things)...
It teaches us that you don't need to go to school or have any kind of degree to be intelligent..
The women mentioned in this book were more intelligent then most of us are today with all our years of education...
They knew how to deal with situations in such a way that it caused no conflict, they resolved their matters with such Hikmah (wisdom)..
It teaches us that by developing true love for Allaah, Following and loving the way of Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم as well as love for the Qur'aan is the most beneficial knowledge & wealth for both Dunya and Aakhirah...
It teaches us that you don't need wealth to be happy... Most of the women mentioned in the book lived in poverty most if not all of there lives, some started of wealthy but eventually distanced themselves from all things of the dunya and chose poverty over wealth...
They chose Deen over Dunya..
The women in the book teach us how we should be, how we should conduct ourselves as Daughters, Sisters, Mothers, Wife's, Daughter in Law and most importantly slaves of Allaah...
Just like the titles says, it gives us glimpses of True Beauty...
It teaches us that True beauty has nothing to do with how you look or what you wear but rather it has everything to do with your inner self, what you fill your heart with and how you act towards others..
The book teaches us priceless lessons that if we follow will undoubtedly lead us down the road of success in both Dunya and Aakhirah (May Allaah grant me first!! and every one of us the ability to practice)...
It is also an excellent book to be reading to our daughters from small (even before they can understand), it will plant the seeds of love for Allaah and Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم in their little hearts and minds, it will teach them from a tender age that practicing on Deen will lead you to success and happiness in both worlds even if outwardly you don't have alot of Dunya.. And they will grow up with the correct role models & heroes in mind, as they grow older they will then understand the stories more and also Insha'Allah begin to strive to amulate what they hear and have been hearing from as far back as they can remember...
The book has been compiled without any big or difficult to understand words and is easy to read and absorb, Making it the perfect book for women / girls of all ages...
It is a must read for all Muslim women ❤️
I absolutely love it...
I also love the cover, its so bright, pretty and eye catching... Makes me happy just looking at it Masha'Allah...
