'Abdullah b. Amr reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
لدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ وَخَيْرُ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ"
"This world is temporary enjoyment, and the best of its enjoyments is a righteous woman." [Sahih Muslim]
Because of her adherence to her religion, a woman becomes the best thing that could ever happen to a man in this life, and she becomes the greatest treasure he could ever posses. Yet, we find our sisters today discarding their religion and compromising on it's principles in order to gain value in a worthless worldly lifestyle, not knowing that they're only decreasing their worth thereby.
Dear sisters, your worth and value lies in your religion and your religion only, beware of seeking it elsewhere, lest you become a loser in both worlds.

One of the beloved students of the Shaykh (حفظه الله) asked him why he specifically replied in forgiveness to the sister with this particular verse and the Shaykh answered with the following insightful and profound reply.
❤1👍1
Once at a sisters Halaqah, a few years ago, the sister delivering the Halaqah mentioned the Ayah regarding men being Qawwam over women, and when explaining it, she mentioned that one of the reasons is because of what they spend of their wealth (as Allāh mentions straight after). She went on to say that’s one of the reasons husbands are deserving of respect and obedience. No sooner had she finished her sentence then the women began to giggle and smirk. One women interjected, voicing the thoughts of the rest, “Oh but nowadays, we split everything 50/50, and I work the same amount of hours as him and sometimes even more AND I raise the kids, so really, he doesn’t deserve all that obedience and respect now does he? Because we’re on the same status when it comes to providing for the family.” And all the other women who had been chuckling began to agree.
SubhānAllāh, although the sister and a couple others present began to argue with those women and their mindsets and point out that family systems were wrong to begin with, those women didn’t budge and they puffed up in arrogance, insisting that there’s no difference between them and their husbands.
When recalling this incident a few years later, one sister said, “I’m sorry for those women who married such incompetent and useless husbands that can’t even provide for them and expect them to do the job of both husband and wife, of course, it’s hard to have any respect for someone like that, because such a man doesn’t even respect himself if he’s having his wife feed him, but that’s your own ill choice and bad taste. The word of Allāh doesn’t change, however, and it’s ironic how they are going against Islām (by working haram jobs, neglecting Tarbiyah of the kids, and taking on the burden of providing for the family) and are then scoffing at Ayāt of the Qur’an and expecting it to not apply anymore because of their own bad life decisions that go against the Shari’ah.”
SubhānAllāh, the only thought that came to mind during that exchange at the Halaqah and a lesson that was extracted was something that a wise woman told us since we were young children: Once a woman starts working, you can forget that she’ll ever make a good wife.
Dependence (both for provisions and protection) is what breeds admiration, deep respect, obedience, and love. That’s why we are naturally inclined to love and obey our parents. When a woman becomes fully financially independent (even if she’s working from home and the job is Halāl) and has no need for a husband to provide for her, she loses a great deal of admiration and respect for her husband, which in turn makes it even harder for her to obey him, and she will find herself forcing herself to be obedient rather than feeling naturally inclined to do so.
So beware of allowing your women to work until they no longer depend on you whatsoever, even if the job is Halāl, it can have detrimental effects on your marriage and be extremely problematic. Wallahul Musta’ān.
Of course, this conversation was taking place between some sisters with women who were generally not on the correct ‘Aqeedah and were more modern, but the mindset they developed and their reasoning behind it is shocking, considering that they were in their 40s-50s and were all immigrants from traditional Muslim countries, raised in traditional family systems, and they were arguing with teenagers who were born and raised in the West and public schooled for most of their lives. You would expect the parties to be on opposite sides, but clearly the driving factor behind their views was the fact that they were working women for many years and that’s how their mindsets had been corrupted.
A wise sister (may Allāh protect her and bless her) said, “You women, if I let a mouse loose in this room, you’d all be screaming and standing on chairs in fright, but you think that you can be on par with your husbands as the leaders of the family and heads of the household. Know your places and what you were created for, this is not your job, even if you chose it.”

The same sister often says to younger sisters, “If a time ever comes upon you after marriage in which your husband goes through some financial difficultly or loses his job, it’s better for you to lessen your expenditures, be patient, and live on a little then to step out of your home and work to help contribute. That’s what we’ve always done in difficult times. Once a woman leaves home, it’s difficult for her to ever come back. Over the years, I’ve seen the effect that money and working has on women and their marriages, and I’ve rarely seen good outcomes from it.”
This is all a general observation, and in no way intended to take a jab at those sisters who are forced to work out of necessity due to not having husbands or being in such difficult situations. May Allāh make a way for them and protect them.

The Importance of Asking for a Suitable Mahr
"I always say that; a woman should ask for dowry and she should ask for dowry that will make the man think two and three and ten times about divorcing her. If you go and pay one dollar to marry a woman, he’s going to say: “what the heck, I’ll divorce her any day and get another one for another dollar”, if she asks for $5,000, she may not need it, but she asks for $5,000, that’s going to make the man [think], you know, it took a lot of time to gather this money and pay it for her. So, the woman should be wise and we should teach the woman about this in the future. The Prophet صلی ﷲ عليه وسلم said:
أقلهن مهورا أكثرهن بركة
The least in dowry is the most in baraka.
What is that mean? I just told you, you should ask for a large amount of dowry. Not a large amount, but if you got someone who’s coming to you, who’s a car station worker, he has saved up $10.000 maybe ask for $8,000. Cut him some slack. However, don’t go around — he has $10,000 and go and ask him for $20,000, which he could never do. Then that becomes a problem. But he has some amount of money saved, then ask so he can feel he’s getting married. The hadith “the lowest in their dowry is the most in barakah” means [regarding] the Mahr of those around them. Meaning: the Yemeni girls – and I always use this example – are going around for $20,000, some of them, $15,000 to $20,000 . That’s the average dowry men pay for a Yemeni woman. The average, from what I know. A respectable woman comes, says: “no, I don’t want to have $15,000, I’ll take $8,000”. That’s أقلهن مهورا.
She doesn’t go: “Oh, $15,000, no I take a Mushaf, or a dollar”. No, that’s not the right way to do it! Then if he divorces her, she regrets it. If he divorces her when she has the $8,000, no he’s going to think about it, it’s going to be a major problem."

Two ways the night may be spent:
1.
يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمْ إِذْ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرْضَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطًا
“They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from Allah, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allah, of what they do, encompassing.” [An Nisā’]
2.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَـٰمًا
“And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer].” [Al Furqān]

Bad experiences with Muslim men who use culture/misinterpretations of Islāmic texts to oppress their women and abuse them is not an excuse for anyone to sympathize with or support Feminism (an ideology that is rigged with Kufr). Stop tying to solve the problem by adopting new -isms and instead return to your religion and propagate and proclaim it. If you really believe Islām is perfect, you wouldn’t feel the need to use other than it to solve a problem amongst those who claim to be adherents to it.
Additionally, a bad experience with an ex husband should be accepted as being the Qadr of Allāh for you or your own mistake in not choosing properly. These things happen, may Allāh protect our sisters, there’s no shame in it, it teaches us lessons. BUT don’t let it become a wound through which you allow feminism and liberalism (OR sympathy to these ideologies and their proponents) to seep into your heart.
Some sisters, SubhānAllāh, they never even experienced anything, but just hearing stories of horrible men convinces them that feminism is the answer to the suffering of women in the world. Lā Ilāha Illa Allāh, is Islām not perfect and complete?! Are Allāh and His religion not sufficient for us? Do you seek honor through the ideologies of the Kuffār who Allāh hates? You should know that honor is found with Allāh and in obedience to His commands. The answer to the suffering and the oppression any woman may face is in The Book you’re throwing behind you’re backs for a cheap ideology that propagates every type of Fisq and Fāhishah.
We are a nation honored by Islām, and seeking honor through any other lifestyle or ideology will only bring us more humiliation and oppression.

"Niyyah is essential for ordains, where one is ordered to do something, and it’s a pre-requisite for reward when leaving the prohibitions. Leaving zina (fornication) for example. Someone had the opportunity (to do zina), he left it. Because he left it he didn’t get any sins, but in order to attain the reward he needs to have the Niyyah that he left it for Allāh’s sake. So, in ordainments the Niyyah makes the matter accepted, and the Niyyah gives reward to those who leave prohibitions."

People don't understand the immense value that's being offered in these unreleased classes of Furu Al-Fiqh, by Shaykh Ahmad (حفظه الله تعالى). This was an unprecedented and monumental undertaking that no one had even attempted in the English language. We ask Allah to make it a Sadaqa Jaariyah for him, and the one(s) who assisted him, until the Day of Judgement.
