   Among the companions of the Prophet a.s. Abu Bakr r.a.  was given the glad tidings that he will be given the priviledge to enter the paradise from which ever  gate he wants to enter from..But for women ? It is an open opportunity for every Muslim women. Sahih Ibn Hateem... If a woman prays five times and fasts in Ramadhaan and obeys her husband then she can enterinto paradise from which ever gate she wants to... Its Islam that welcomes women in such a grand manner.

   A father works and labours for  eight hours a day to feed his children,yet his labour till his date of retirement cannot match the labour pain the mother undergoes just during the child birth. And the Qur'an acknowledges this status : In pain did his mother bear him and in pain did she give him birth.. A religion that commands a Prophet of the stature of Jesus a.s. that he should be kind to his mother.. Surah Maryam ch 19 , verse 32... Only Islam

  The most pleasant face for a man is the cheerful face of his wife that cheers him up and the Prophet guarnteed such women too a lofty palace in paradise. There can be no better encouraging words for a woman than easy ways to Jannah.

 If you want to be near to the Prophet a.s. in paradise then upbring two or more daughters in a nice manner.. kind and compassionately. 

  A religion that commands death penalty to a rapist and does not allow affair of any kind outside marriage.To Protect the honour and the Modesty of women... 

 The Only Religion that loosens  financial shackles from a woman's neck  and places them on  her father, her brother, her husband and her son by declaring in only o ne sentence : Ar rijaalu qawwamun al'anisaa'.Men are protectors and maintainers of women. A financial protection in every stage of her life from brith to death. Only Islam.

 A religion whose main Preacher, the Prophet of Mercy a.s. himself warning his followers : I caution you about the rights of your women...... Only Islam

 The only Religion that proclaims..The best among you are those who are best to their wives and children...

 A Book that  warns of a sever punishment to those who slander innocent chaste women, thus  protecting them from being topics of gossips. The Qur'an

  Inspite of this honoured priviledge how long will you still wait to enter into Islam ? There are not gates to enter Islam, my sister, Just walk in...
