You can be the happiest woman in the world

Dr. ‘A’id al Qarni
With your beauty, you are better than the sun;
with your morals you are more sublime than musk;
with your modesty you are nobler than the full moon;
with your compassion you a more beneficial than rain.
So, preserve your beauty with faith, your tranquillity with contentment, your chastity with hijab.
Remember that your adornment is not gold, silver or diamond, rather, it is two rak’ahs at Fajr going thirsty when you fast for Allah, concealed charity which no one knows except Him, hot tears that wash away sin, a lengthy prostration born of utter submission to Allah, shyness before Allah when the inclination to do evil overwhelms you.
Clothe yourself with the garments of taqwa (piety) for you are the most beautiful woman in the world, even if your clothes are shabby. Clotheyourself with cloak of modesty, for you are the most beautiful woman in the world even if you are barefoot.
Beware of the life bewitching immoral disbelieving women, for they are the fuel of the fire of Hell.
O’ sincere Muslim, O’ believing woman who constantly turns to Allah, the Exalted, be like the palm tree and rise above evil and harm; if a stone is thrown at the palm tree, it lets its fruit drop (and does not retaliate).
It remains green summer and winter, and gives many benefits. Do not lower yourself to the level of trivial matters, and rise above all that may damage your modesty and honour.
A man had an argument with his wife and said, “I am going to make your life miserable.” The wife calmly replied, “You cannot do that.”
He said, “Why not?”
She said: “If happiness were to be found in money or jewellery, you could deprive me of it and take it away from me, but it is nothing over which you or any other person has control. I find happiness in my faith, and my faith is in my heart, and no one has power over it except my Lord.”
The One Who created happiness is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful, so how can you seek happiness from anyone other than Him? If people had control over happiness, there would be no deprived or grieving person left on earth.
