As salaam Alaykum Ikhwah!
AlhamduliLlah! I’m good. Trust you are too.
It's been a while since we've taken a ride together on Aleem's Compendium, but I hope you're all doing well by the grace of Allah.
Life can be distracting and challenging, but we must stay strong and resilient. No matter what happens, we must always bounce back and keep moving forward.
Now, let me share with you a beautiful story about the Prophet Muhammad (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) and his beloved daughter Fatimah. He treasured her like a precious gem, protecting her from harm and treating her with tenderness and care. He believed that all women should be treated as delicate gems, to be cherished and loved.
This profound truth can unlock the full potential of their beauty, wisdom, and grace. So, let's take a ride together and discover more about how we can cherish and honour the women in our lives.

Once upon a time, in the land of Arabia, there lived a great prophet named Muhammad (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam). He was known for his kindness, compassion, and love for his family. One particular person who he held very dear was his daughter Fatimah. She was like a precious gem to him, and he treated her with the utmost care and tenderness.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Fatimah is a part of me, and whoever angers her, angers me." (Sahih al-Bukhari 3431)
As I observed this beautiful relationship between the prophet (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) and his daughter, I couldn't help but be captivated by it. It was as if Fatimah was a fragile gem, and the prophet protected that gem. He shielded her from harm, loved her unconditionally, and ensured she was cared for.
And it wasn't just Fatimah that the prophet (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) treated with such care and respect. He (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) believed that all women, regardless of their relationship with him, deserved to be treated as delicate gems. They were precious gems to be treasured, protected and loved.
That’s why he established in several Ahadith how women should be treated especially our wives and emphasis the importance of treating them with kindness, love and respect.
Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one whose behaviour is most excellent, and the best of you are those who are the best to their women." (Tirmidhi 1162)
As the story of the prophet (SollaLlahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) and his daughter Fatimah unfolded before my eyes, I realized the profound truth in his teachings. Women are not objects to be possessed, but fragile gems to be cherished. And in loving them, we can unlock the full potential of their beauty, wisdom, and grace.
