		<description>As Salaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu

MashAllah la quwwata illa billah. Sister, Allah has blessed you with excellent writing skills. Do continue to write such wonderful articles. I agree with Noor. You should write a book on this topic.

I hope to see similar high quality articles on this website. I usually don&#039;t visit this website that often(guess thats going to change).</description>

		<description>Jazakillahu Khayra, re: Hajar alayha salam&#039;s struggles: your description of the crying infant rang so true. Imagine the desperation of a mother to console her helpless infant. 
Hajar alayhas salam persisted and kept moving. In other words, she kept tying her camel while trusting in Allah ta&#039;ala: never giving up physically or spiritually.</description>

		<description>Your idea has admittedly crossed my mind at times. A book! Me? Please remember me in your dua&#039;s. If Allah so wills, I can write a book one day, but only with His help can it be possible.</description>

		<description>The image is sort of symbolic - like a seedling that is weak physically but lays the foundation of the future trees in the garden, so too, is the Muslim woman physically challenged at times (she&#039;s not as physically strong as men, and has to endure phases of weakness) but lays the moral base of the Muslim &lt;em&gt;ummah&lt;/em&gt;. 
I just stumbled across it online and initially I thought it was not appropriate, but it grew on me. Apparently it wasn&#039;t all that bad after all.</description>
