Advice for the Muslim Single and Married Sisters

To my single sisters, please take advantage of your time while you still have control over it.

Take as much good deeds as you can.
Pray as much as you can both obligatory and voluntary.
Attend lectures and study as much as you can.
Maximize any good deeds that you can make.
Serve your parents and community in any way you can.

Because along marriage and children comes more responsibilities and less time.

To majority of my married sisters, though it may be difficult to perform the good deeds as much as what you used to before having a family, don’t worry because Allāh ﷻ rewards us for our intentions. Perhaps by serving your spouse, being obedient to him, keeping your children alive, well, and clean may be counted as your ibadah. Allāh ﷻ knows our situation and He knows our intentions as well.

We may not read the entire Qur’an in a month, but we hope that even a page of it would benefit us in the hereafter. We may not be able to join the congregation due to the responsibilities we have at home, perhaps our prayers in the premises of our home gives us more reward. We may not attend many lectures as much as before perhaps when we feed and keep our children healthy and clean would make us raise them as better muslims with proper upbringing and perhaps would help us in the hereafter.

Whatever stage you’re in life, maximize what you have and what you can because Allāh rewards us for our intentions and not with how much we can.

May Allāh ﷻ grant us an understanding.
