the pressure put on women to be young, attractive, and successful all at once is fucking ridiculous, you got women in their late teens and early twenties convinced that their lives are over because they don’t have a successful career and a romantic partner…a woman’s value is not in how successful she is or whether or not she has a romantic partner. there are no deadlines for life achievements, women don’t have to become successful when they’re young. women are not limited by their age, and a woman certainly is not a failure for not having either (or both) a successful career and a romantic partner when she is just starting to live her life!
“I advise you to recite the Qur’an everyday, because the Qur’an is like water for a plant. It is the life of the heart, and the water and life for the heart is the Qur’an”
— Sheikh Abdullah Azzam [‘at-Tarbiyah al-Jihadiyyah wal-Bina”; 5/35-36] (via ibn-3omar)
