Allama Iqbal in his poem “Secrets of the Self” has exhorted the Muslim women to be like the sister of Umar:
“O Muslim women;
Out of the evening create a new dazzling morn.
To the true lovers of God,
Recite the Holy Qur’an
And enthusiastically translate
Its spirit into action
Don’t vou know that such recitation
Changed altogether Umar’s fate.”
