It is sufficient honour for you that you are a Muslim

بسم الله الرّحمان الرّحِيم
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.

  سَيَجْعَلُ اللُه بَعْدَ عُسَرٍ يُسْراً...
... Allah will grant after hardship, ease.
                                                    65 : 7

Everything that happens to you for the sake of Allah is an
expiation for you, if Allah, the exalted, wills. Hear the glad
tidings narrated in the hadith :

''If a woman obeys her Lord, offers her five daily prayers and
preserves her honour, she will enter Paradise of her Lord.''

These are easy matters for the one for whom Allah makes them
easy. So, by doing these great deeds you will meet a merciful
Lord who will give you happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
Follow His laws no matter where that leads you, and adhere to the
Book of Allah (the Qur'an) and the Sunnah of His Messenger
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, for you are a Muslim Woman, and this
is a great honour and source of pride.

Other women, were born in the lands of kufr (disbelief), Christians,
Jews, Communists or something other than the religion of Islam, but
Allah chose you to be a Muslim woman, and He made you one of
the followers of Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم, following in the footsteps
of  'A'ishah, Khadijah and Fathima ---  رضى الله عنهم (may Allah be
pleased with them all). Congratulations, for you offer the five daily
prayers, you fast Ramadan, you go on pilgrimage to the House, you
observe Islamic hijaab. Congratulations, for you are pleased with
Allah as your Lord, Islam as your religion, and Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم
as your Prophet.

                                      ''Your gold is your religion, your
                                      adornment is your moral attitude,
                                      and your wealth is your good
                                      manners.''
