Like pearls are found deep down at the bottom of the ocean covered and protected, diamonds are found deep down in the ground covered and protected, gold is found lay down in the mines covered with layers and layers of rocks. Woman is sacred, woman is priceless, she is far more precious than a diamond. The woman is inestimable. She is far more precious than gold.
And for women are rights over men, similar to those of men over women.”From the first prophet Adam (a.s.) to the last Prophet Muhammad ï·º, this soil, this earth has been gifted about 1,24,000 prophets were men. Somebody act why not a single woman has been descendent to this world as a prophet? It was answered. So what if a woman has not been descendent to this world as a prophet? Women have given birth to Prophets. Women have secured prophets in their wombs for nine months. Women have fed milk to prophets.
(Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah-02, Verse No-228)
