As You Step Out Of Home You Will Come Across 2 Kinds Of Women…..

A sister who is a counsellor wrote something deserving to be written in gold, she said :

Dear Precious Husband/Brother/Son,

As you step out of home you will come across 2 kinds of women.

The 1st Kind :

A woman who has been afflicted with the same ailment as that of the wife of al-Aziz, chief minister of Egypt. So, you would find her having beautified and perfumed herself, as if she were saying to you :

” Hayta Lak ” (Come to me, O you !) [Surah Yusuf, verse 23]

The 2nd Kind :

A women who conceals her beauty and adorns proper clothing (hijab). She has not come out of her home except to fulfill her dire needs. It is as if she were saying (as the two women said to Musa (alyhis salaam):

“We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take (their flocks). And our father is a very old man”
[Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 23]

So with the first type behave like how Yusuf (alyhis salaam) behaved. Restrain your gaze and say “Ma’az Allah” (I seek refuge with Allah! / Allah forbid!)

And with the second type of woman, behave like how Musa (alyhis salaam) behaved, offer your help with utmost respect and move on with your work.

As Allah said about what Musa (AS) did … “So he watered (their flocks) for them, then turned away towards the shade” [Surah Al-Qasas, Verse 23]

The chastity of Yusuf led him towards becoming the governor of Egypt and the chivalry of Musa alyhis salaam became the reason for Allah Ta’ala granting him a righteous wife.
