How a Pearl Develops - Muslim Women in Islam -Islamic Lectures - Muhammad al-Shareef

"All women are pearls of great value, but some of us have been deceived into doubting the value of our purity. Pearls are priceless && should be protected && guarded from unworthy eyes."

Assalamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, fantastic lecture on the status of Muslim Women, mentioned here as Pearls by Muhammad al-Shareef. Insha'Allah learn your true status as Muslim Women for you are PEARLS, && lead the Ummah to success once again. This video was edited && uploaded again Alhamdulillah no flashing this time!!

The following incident took place when Muhammed Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that are not modest. Here is the story as told in detail by one of his daughters:
When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my youngest sister, Laila, and me to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sent me down in his lap and said something I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down and in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get them."

He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too."

A pearl is the result of an irritant introduced into the environment of a shellfish which is encased repeatedly in a saliva like gel to reduce and inhibit its extremely irritating effect. hmmmm

@LAGirlFriend: What exactly is your point? The analogy given here re: pearls && Muslim women is to make apparent the beautiful appearance && uniqueness in status && speciality that they both possess.

Nonetheless, did you listen to the complete lecture?

@LAGirlFriend that same parable applies to how women deal with stress and pressure from the world, doesn't it? tears and perseverance become part of their beauty and serenity.
