An important matter that was suddenly warned
It is understood from hadiths’ narrations that what will play the most terrible role in the fitnah of the âkhirzaman will be women and their fitnah. Yes, just as it is reported in the histories that, in ancient times, a group of soldiers composed of extremely skilled warrior women called ‘Amazons’ fought extraordinarily in battles. In the same way, at the present time, in the war of the dhalâlah of zandaqa against Islam, through the plan of nafs al-ammarah, the most fearsome group that is put under the command of shaytan is half-naked women; with their bare legs, which are terrible knives, they attack and assault the people of îmân. By working to close the road to marriage and widen the road to houses of debauchery, they take many people’s nafs captive and wound their hearts and rûhs with kabâir; rather, they kill some of those hearts.
As a perfect punishment for displaying them to the desires of non-mahram men’s nafs, those legs with knives will be the logs of Jahannam and burn first. And since she lost her trustworthiness and loyalty in this world, she is no longer able to find a suitable husband whom, by her creation, she wants and who, by her fitrah, she is in great need of. Even if she finds one, it only brings her trouble. It is even understood from hadiths’ narrations that as a result of this situation, in the âkhirzaman, due to marriage being neither sought after nor respected, women will be without a guardian, unimportant and valueless to the extent that one man will look after forty women in some places.
Since the haqiqah is this. And since every beauty loves her beauty and wants to preserve it as far as she can and does not want it to be spoiled. And since beauty is a ni’mah, if shukr is offered for a ni’mah, it increases in a ma’nawî manner, while if shukr is not offered, it becomes ugly. For sure, if she has a mind, she will run away with all her strength from using her beauty and loveliness to gain sins for herself and others, making her beauty and loveliness ugly and poisonous, and due to ingratitude, turning that ni’mah into a source of punishment, and in order to make her transient five or ten years of beauty permanent, she will offer shukr for that ni’mah by using it in a way that Sharî’ah permits; otherwise, in her old age, she will be detested for a long time and will weep despairingly.
It is definitely established in the hadiths that if her beauty is beautified with the adornment of Qur’anic âdâb within the sphere of Islamic tarbiyyah, that transient beauty will be eternal in a ma’nawî manner, and in Jannah, it will be given to her in a more graceful and shining fashion than the beauty of the houris. If such a beauty has even an iota of mind, she will not allow this beautiful, shining and eternal result to slip from her hand.
