I believe that a woman, and especially a mother, has a lot of power within herself, no matter how helpless and weak she may feel… How can she instill an “awakened spirit” in her children? In her lullabies, in her stories, in playing with and spending time with her child, can she instill that slogan, that vision, that ideology and thoughts that she herself has a tendency to… How can her consciousness, her attachment to religion, and her efforts be passively transferred to her children? The environment and sounds that a child is familiar with as soon as he opens his eyes form the foundation of his life. Then I believe that the purpose of promoting this mindset in the Ummah, by taking a woman out of the house and keeping her busy all day long with the business of life, so that she starts considering her family and children as a burden or adopts an apologetic attitude towards her children regarding her career, is actually to destroy this great institution of education by destroying the basic connection between mother and child. I am not against a woman’s career, but the tendency to turn away from education by making career the first priority is worrying. Neither the state nor any institution can develop the emotional and spiritual development of children nor can it establish the ideology that is desired for a “united Ummah”. Set your priorities and repeat them out loud. Make a conscious effort and set high goals.
