Maryam Jameelah passes away: Awesome Spiritual Power.

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون، أولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم ورحمة وأولئك هم المهتدون

 

Great Critic of Western Powers.

She will live forever in the hearts
of those who love Islam. She converted from Judaism to Islam, did the hijra from
New York to Lahore, Pakistan, and, as a student of Maulana Maudoodi, she issued
book after book with devastating criticism of western writers and the entire
western way of life.
Her correspondence with Maulana Maudoodi is worth
reading. She also wrote about her life in Pakistan, living like a house wife
with daily chores and problems to overcome but also a genius whose pen is so
strong that it can change a person's view point. She took to strict purdah,
became a second wife to her Pakistani husband, whom she lovingly called "my Khan
sahib," and gave birth to his children. It's amazing how she could do so much
which was conventional and so much which was revolutionary.
I visited her in
her home in Lahore and could not but be impressed by her humility. May Allah
accept her sacrifices and give her a place in Jannat al-Firdous,  Ameen
