Do not be like a woman who spoils the thread she has spun by
unraveling it after it is strong, by making your oaths a means of
deceiving one another, merely because one community is big-
ger than another. Allah is only testing you by this. He will
make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection the things about
which you differed. (Surat an-Nahl: 92)
Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of the Daybreak, from the evil
of what He has created and from the evil of the dark-
ness when it gathers, and from the evil of women
who blow on knots." (Surat al-Falaq: 1-4)
Allah warns of the wickedness of people who
follow their selfish desires by conspiring, cheat-
ing, and doing evil to others. The above verse
indicates that the evil of such women can be
huge. However, it must never be forgotten that
Allah promises to bring the conspiracies of such
people to naught. A bad character always harms
the one who has it. On the other hand, one's
fear and respect of Allah, as well as one's
righteousness, always re-
sult in Allah's help and
grace.
