TWO VIRTUES OF WOMEN

TWO VIRTUES OF WOMEN

There are two qualities usually more vigorous in women than in men, which makes them (women) worthy of praise and kindness.

The first is the ability to serve others and the second is chastity.

Although a man may be safe from unchaste actions, it will be extremely rare to find one pure from unchaste thoughts. On the other hand, if a survey of a hundred noble women is taken, most probably the entire hundred will be such that they never had a single unchaste thought throughout their lives! Allah Ta’aala mentions such women in the Qur’aan.
