السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته , I am so shocked by the majority liberal feministic version of islam that is going around on certain subreddits. I responded to a post about a girl correcting another girl who was publicly sinning by wearing wrong hijab and I got absolutely flamed, saying its between them and Allah, I am driving people away from the religion etc. Is there any hikmah in responding to these types of posts? How about the obligation to enjoin good and forbid evil, is it allowed to stay quiet in such cases?

The girl genuinely made no mistake and was just defending proper hijab, ofcourse I want to support her. But wow. The backlash is INSANE.

Is it allowed to stay quiet and avoid such fitnah? JazakAllahu khairan

I dont know if its waswas, or if I seriously have a wrong intention. I recently started to gain more motivation to read and memorize quran, because of good influence of a few of my friends, may Allah reward them. I seriously want to start my memorization journey, but have been putting it off because I fear that my intention is not correct.

When I think of one of my biggest goals in life, it is to please my mum for the sake of Allah, and give her a good islamic example, as she herself is not practicing at all. Memorizing the quran would make her very happy though, and I genuinely want to make her proud in this, as I know I cannot make her proud in worldly matters. I also know that being good to parents is one of the best means to get closer to Allah.

Then, I think about the virtue of a woman being pleasing to her husband. I genuinely want to be a good wife in the future, one that a husband can look at and feel warmth and sakinah. I know how happy I will make him by being a hafida. Is this a wrong intention, to want to please him for the sake of Allah? To be the coolness of his eyes?

I think a lot of my thinking can be attributed to these ahadith:

Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) narrated the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

If the woman prays the five daily prayers, fasts in Ramadhan, safeguards her chastity and obeys her husband, she will enter into Jannah from any door she wishes.

and:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Any woman dies while her husband is pleased with her, she will enter Jannah".

I believe I have adopted a certain hierarchy, in which I believe my personal recitation/memorization of the quran is not nearly as important as the rights others have over me.

I know the seriousness of a husband not being pleased with you, likewise for the parents. Is my intention wrong, and how on earth do I change it? I feel like my intention is for Allah, but through a different path? Its like I want to please him through other people's happiness with me?

I also don't think I do it for their approval, or fame. I genuinely want to see the smiles on their faces and make them proud, but I feel so so insincere ): Can anybody help me correct my intention if its wrong, and provide me with some useful resources? Jazakumullahu khairan
