Saying that Bibi Khadijah was a working woman is not misguidance, it is a fact, and it is not misguided to speak a fact about those who were close to the Prophet (S).

However, although Bibi Khadijah was quite empowered, both financially and socially, simply saying this does not compensate for social injustice, including towards women. Rather, it is important to be honest about what goes on in the real world, and if something is not as it should be in society, attention should be called to that so that it can be changed. Of course, one can look to Bibi Khadijah or others as inspirations when doing that, and speak about both.

The claims of our enemies about mistreatment of women in Islam is nothing but a false propaganda. Evidence for the high status and full rights of women in Islam can be easily taken from the life of our great ladies like Lady Khadija (SA) and Lady Fatima (SA) and Lady Zainab (AS).

Thank you for your question. Masturbation is a very difficult habit to kick and it is only with a lot of effort, difficulty and time that a person will be able to fully rid themselves of it. As such do not despair in a number of ways failing. You just have to keep trying those ways and different ways and keep praying to succeed. There are many others in a similar position to you and yet others who have been successful. So it is possible to stop. The best solution is marriage, however, marriage may not be a solution entirely. It will primarily be an act of will power in the end, so don't leave it until marriage.

May you be successful and don't give up
