The shy daughter of the wise man in Median who hired Prophet Musa and offered him his daughter in marriage, teaches Muslim women profound lessons on taking charge of their lives, while at the same time showing respect for their elders. The story further sets an example to wise fathers who can decipher their daughters’ code and don’t allow pride and ego to come in the way of making the right decision. Allah is also teaching young men that when they demonstrate character through their actions, they will reap the fruits of their honesty and integrity, no matter how destitute they are.
