• The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “If a woman performs the five (obligatory) prayers, fasts the month (of Ramadan), maintains her chastity and obeys her husband, it will be said to her (on the Day of Judgment), ‘Enter Paradise from whichever gate you like’.” [Ibn Hibban]
• The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “O company of women! Give charity even from your ornaments, for you constitute the majority of the people of Hell on the Day of Judgment.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
• The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, further said: “I advise you (O women) to adhere to Tasbeeh (to say ‘Exalted be Allah’), Tahleel (to say ‘there is none worthy of worship except Allah’), and Taqdees (to say ‘Exalted be (Allah) The Sovereign, The Pure, Exalted and Pure be the Lord of angels and Holy spirit’), and count with the help of your fingers, for they will be questioned and made to speak (to give witness to you), and be not heedless (of Thikr — remembrance) lest you would forget (to seek) mercy.” [Abu Dawood and At-Tirmithi]
• It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, asked a woman of the Ansar (The Companions of Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, from Madeena) called Umm Sinan: “What prevented you from performing Hajj with us?” She replied, “There were only two camels used for carrying water owned by so-and-so (meaning her husband). He and his son offered Hajj on one, and the other was left to be used for irrigation.” The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Then, ‘Umrah (to be offered) in Ramadan is equal (in reward) to Hajj or Hajj with me.” [Muslim]
