The Greatest Woman - Spoken Word

you know…
something must be wrong when almost every single song has
sex as its basis
when rap stars get famous after making lyrics that are shameless
when a woman is expected to sleep with a man who doesn’t even know what her name is
and when artists are paid to degrade the
very woman that have made them
to the point they are
nothing more than pieces of plastic
that we can dispose of once they are no longer attractive..
it’s sickening and sadistic that this world’s become so misogynistic
and you can call me unrealistic
but just listen to the statistics

7 in 10 men view porn while over 75 million are addicted
68 million requests a day for pornographic pictures
making 1 in 4 searches
sexually related
it’s like nobody even knew she existed until she got naked
degraded and abused over and over again just to gain millions of views
it’s a shame we’ve subdued to a
definition of beauty
which is so misconstrued
as we judge each others looks off of Facebook Likes
Instagram Pictures to filter off what we really look like
see we are
so obsessed with our outside we have slowly lost sight
of who we really are
in real life

i mean it’s sad to see so many teens lose their self-esteem
looking at these magazines thinking they have to look like what they see
please you are
worth much more than a 2D image on a screen
you are a
living breathing human being
if
only you knew what you
really mean

just look into your history books and begin to read
of all the girls in the world who were capable to achieve and you will
surely see with certainty
females like Fatima Al Fihri, who opened the first ever University
Rufayda Al Aslamiya, the first nurse to perform Surgery
and Aisha bint Abi Bakr (radiAllahu ‘anha),
the greatest female scholar in eternity
it’s a shame you probably haven’t even heard of these Great female prodigies
honestly
we don’t have to give up our modesty in order to be successful
for you are worth much more than a commodity that is sexual
you have so much more potential
if
only you knew
your worth
you could be like the greatest of all women
to have walked this Earth

like Mary (Maryam radiAllahu 'anha),
the mother of Jesus (Isa alaihi salat wasallam)
chosen by Allah to be an example for the believers
a woman who stood strong even when she was abused
falsely accused and ridiculed for things she would never ever do
so it
didn’t really matter when there was nobody else beside her
for she knew that God was Al Razaq and her
ultimate provider
and she had her trust in Him Alone
just like Asiya (radiAllahu 'anha), the wife of Pharoah (Fir’aun)
a woman who was brave and courageous
stood up for what was right and didn’t let anybody change this
a woman who was fearless
and laughed in the face of death..
for she gave up the riches of this life
for a palace in the next

next up Khadija bint Khuwaylid (radiAllahu 'anha), the mother of the believers
a wealthy merchant who had nurtured the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for over 25 years
his first wife, the love of his life and the
mother of his kids
she was the first to believe in him when nobody else ever did
she just is…
beyond any words that can make you understand
so much so that even Allah sent her His Salam, she was grand and Allah assured her
just like her daughter
Fatima bint Muhammad (radiAllahu 'anha), the Master of all women in Paradise
a woman who would shine so bright she was nicknamed Al Zahraa
The Splendid One with the most generous of hearts
a woman who gave up so much of her food
she had
no choice but to fast
she would fight on behalf of her father
even as a little girl

and such are the examples of the greatest women in the entire world
and it had nothing to do with how they looked
but for
who they truly were

so ignore the standard of success defined by society
when God has said that the best of mankind
are those who have piety
regardless of your shape, your colour or your race
for God does not look at your bodies, nor does he does look at your face rather He
looks towards your Heart and checks your faith
so at the end of day it doesn’t matter what the people say or who they think you are
when you could be like the greatest of all women
in the eyes…
of Allah
