What could be the ultimate gain for the sacrifice of one’s comfort, freedom and admiration from others?
Quranic injunctions are aimed at preparing the Muslims for a dignified life in this world and receiving Allah’s favor in the life of the Hereafter. To many Muslim women, what appears as freedom and flattering admiration is momentary pleasure and vanity and may result in degradation of societies and their values. The Quranic message to a practicing Muslim is:”The provision of this world is short, and the Hereafter is better for him who guards against evil.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:77) Again in Surah At-Tauba “The enjoyment of this life is only a trifle compared with the Hereafter.” (Quran 9:38)
