Helping Muslim Girls Becoming Young Women: 5 Motivational Talks

There comes a time when you truly feel that you are no longer a young girl or a child. Instead, you’re growing into the woman you’re destined to become.

It’s a time in your life unlike any other, filled with unique challenges, stresses, decisions, and responsibilities. It’s also a time of incredible opportunities and doors opening for you, when a motivational talk or two can really help clear the brain fog.

At this time, a young Muslim woman is faced with many questions: How does she want to live her life? What kind of woman is she? Will she go to college or not? What kind of career does she imagine for herself?

For teens and young women, there are pressures coming in from all sides and so many lessons to learn. You have to cope with anxieties and stresses about school performance, social circles, and family relationships. You might feel pushed to behave in a certain way, so you can fit in with the crowd. 

Not only this, but you’re dealing with all the emotional and psychological changes taking place inside you. You’re moving towards independence from your parents, which can feel exciting and scary at the same time.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence .

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us.
