8 Reasons Why I’m Grateful to Be a Woman

Have you ever thought about the blessing of being a woman? Sometimes we just take things for granted without stopping for a while to think about very important things in our lives; one of such important things is being a woman!

I’ve thought about it and found my own reasons.

I Am Emotional

I am free to cry and have insecurities without caring much about how others would see me. I’m better than men expressing my feelings and emotions. I get to indulge my weakness and celebrate my strengths in full glory and appreciation to what God has given me.

I Am Beautiful

All women are beautiful, no exaggeration. Beauty is not just in our faces. Just try to know yourself and definitely you’ll get to realize where your beauty lies.


I’m The More Delicate Yet, The Stronger Gender

Yes, it’s true that women are delicate, soft and tender creatures, but they are much stronger than men. Women work longer hours during their lifetime than men. Women have less leisure time, let alone pregnancy, labor and child rearing.

I Am The Mother

I’ve to admit that being a mother is not an easy job. Mothers suffer a lot of pain, stress; they are 24 hours\ day on duty!  Yet, the experience of having grown a child inside of me is an incredibly amazing experience. It’s common but no less incredible.

I Can Easily Make Friends

Women are better at social thinking & interactions than men, while men are more abstract and task-orientated. This is why women are normally better at communication and making new friendships.


I Am The Source of Love on This Planet

Talking about love, one would automatically think of women. The woman is the loving wife, the kind mother and the caring friend. This world cannot survive without love; without women!

I Have Female Intuition

Life experiences and scientific researches show that Women have an instinctive understanding about life, love, and the dynamics of personal relationships.

Women tend to be the core of family intra-connectivity and the rock that supports in times of great need or sorrow.

women can hear what is not being said and feel what is not being expressed.

I Am The Precious Jewel, Protected By God

Being a Muslim woman, I love how God protected me and granted me all rights as an equal person. Islam appreciates women and puts them in an elevated position in contrary to what non-Muslims claim about women’s oppression In Islam:

{Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life and We will recompense them according to the best of what they did.} (An-Nahl 16:97)
