Subject: Important Qualities in a Woman
Date Posted: 07 April 2006 at 7:39pm

Salaam,

We live in a vain world.

We live in a world where money is important and not kindness.

We live in a world where culture is important and not goodness.

We live in a world where deeds are done for other than humane reasons and not for humane purposes.

In knowing this,we men should be careful of choosing our mate. Of course we have talked about this before but sometimes what we talk about we don't put them into application in our daily lives so I hope you brothers lend an ear here. In this life I personally don't think I'll find a woman who fits my qualities but here is my list

1.Intelligent

2.Sensitive

3.Open minded

4. Loving

5. Someone who sees beyond your flaws.

6. Someone who loves you for you

7. Someone who prioritizes with you

8. Communication* This is number 8 on my list because intleligence is most important because you cannot have communication without intelligence because communication is not common to everyone.

9. Someone who is diverse mentally*

I mean, a woman who is not always orthodox in the sense of the spectrum of life. A woman who can compromise some ideas with her man without compromising her ideals.

I think a woman should also be shy.

It is better to be alone than to be in bad company.

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

Rasul allah [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] said every religion has its own unique predominant chrachteristic or quality and the Characteristic of my ummah is Hayah [shyness].

That is a good point Rami brought up from Hadith. Shyness is a quality which also shows the person ability of being humble. Also being shy llows some mystery to be involved without expressing oneself entirely.

brother Israfil, can you elaborate on this topic ' shyness '?

Wa alaikum Salaam Salman,

the topic is not about shyness but about the qualities that are important in a woman. Also before I answer you let me remind the brothers that I difn't mention deen as a quality here because I assume that we all know that a woman's deen and her Iman are important.

Now to answer your question Salman what do I mean by shyness? Well Rami brought up that quality and I merely commented in saying that, that too is a good quality to have. A woman who is shy is not as forthcoming about herself than a woman who is not shy. Being forthcoming is not a bad quality, but without revealing much of herself and her character it leaves a mystery which allows ambition on the man's part to exist and it gives the man more ambition ot get to know the woman better. He strives to know her. Know things about her and strives to be the things she detest.

I thought taht salman was talking about point number 1.

Well Salman I left that out because I feel that it is common sense for an observant Muslim man that, hat are important qualities that he should look for in a woman.

First and foremost, a woman needs to know her place. Allah, peace and blessings upon him, saw to it that this world will be ruled by men.

fistofallah, mayge you men need to start doing a better job, it seems to me you have really messed it up for all of us women, children and the elderly!!!

You cant be a good muslim if you are not decent and have a cold heart. Be a decent and kind person and care for women and children and the elderly.

Jenni you men? Hmmm I guess I'm grouped in with these men...hmmmm

I am saying that if you want to be in charge then do a good job, otherwise now I think women would do much better in charge of politics and world affairs. Men can be in charge of Mosques and religon, after all how are the world affairs going these days??? Pretty miserable, maybe women would do better. Less war and violence, more education and health care. Less ego and machismo, more dialouge and understanding.. Peace

Who said I wanted to be in charge? Jenni calm down on the feminist extremism the subject here is about the qualities in a woman what men should look for. maybe your comment should be directed to fistofallah and not "men."

Its not feminism, just the truth. Nothing personal to you.

Well personally it is not a "men" problem either. Directing comments in the forms of generalization is a personal remark because you are generalizing men. Not all men subscribe to what you are talking about. If there are men that do so, they are individuals. Egoism is a personal issue, not a gender one.
