Why Aren’t Women Entitled To Equal Rights With Men In Islam?
Published on
women are not valued in islam there is an extremely repressive system to those who say women have no freedom we say if women knew the respect comfort and peace that islam provides them then all the women in the world would convert to islam right away and we are very confident about this yes this matter is perhaps the most controversial topic for people who haven't learned much about islam let's check the details of this issue together let's start with a question why is the testimony of two women equal to the testimony of one man there are profound and logical reasons behind this men are tough durable physically strong emotionally clear and decisive by nature on the other hand women are
physically delicate and fragile emotionally intense enthusiastic sympathetic and compassionate yes women are passionate therefore thoughts are usually imprinted in their hearts more than their minds they're often unable to remain objective in the face of events they face situations with intuition because the side of compassion and sympathy dominates allah did not leave the women alone at this point by adding one more female he made the two women support each other to make the proper judgment and to overcome feelings and excitements when giving testimony there's also a sense of threat and danger for example if a woman testifies against a killer or a thief that she may be unable to tell the
truth when threatened due to the effects of fear and dread because she is fragile and vulnerable at this stage it is critical for the woman's protection that she does not remain alone and that there are two witnesses let's look at the inheritance issue together with an example for example when a girl is in her family she doesn't spend anything her father or close relatives at her father's place are responsible for her care all of her needs are met by them so the woman doesn't make any effort and the same is valid after marriage her husband is responsible for her livelihood maintenance and needs thus he must meet these requirements again she doesn't have to spend any money or make any effort
here islam gave this mission and responsibility to the man furthermore the female has the right to a dowry when she gets married the male is responsible for working and the weight of the family only increases after marriage as he must support his wife children and his parents if they also need support that is why the man is given twice from an inheritance while the woman is given one although the male appears to have the advantage here it is evident that actually the female has the advantage islam cannot be blamed for the actions of ignorant people if we take a look at our prophet's life peace be upon him then we can understand how important and precious women are for example in one of his
hadiths he said the best of you are those who are the best to their wives also paradise lies under the feet of your mothers is another commonly known hadith a person came to the messenger of allah peace be upon him and asked who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment he said your mother he then asked who next your mother the prophet replied again he asked who next he said your mother he again asked then who thereupon he said then your father the most complete of the believers in faith is the one with the best character among them and the best of you are those who are the best to your women today we don't say what a caring gentleman about men who opened the car door for their
wives and let them get in first so what does the prophet peace be upon him do anas may allah be pleased with him explains and says that we returned from heber and set out from medina i saw the messenger of allah wrapping his waistcoat around the camel's hump so that safiya could sit comfortably then he sat next to her camel put her knee on the ground and safiya got on the camel by stepping on the knee of rasulullah peace be upon him our prophet who serves as a role model for us demonstrates the significance we should place on our wives islam has given numerous social privileges to females women received many rights as a result of islam that they did not have before no word in the quran or
sunnah excludes women from knowledge on the contrary our prophet peace be upon him specifically advocated for women's education and mandated the protection of their rights since he knew they would be neglected let us go over a couple of them for women the area of spending her own money within the legitimate framework is entirely up to her own will she can give her dowry or any other assets if she has any to charity or she can invest them in trading companies as well as the women's alimony her treatment and medication costs are also on the husband another is that if a man wants his wife to beautify herself then he is responsible for the costs of adornments depending on her circumstances a
woman may request a maid from her husband and the maid's salary is paid by her husband another issue is that if the wife does not want to live with her husband's family then he must provide a separate house like the examples provided women's rights are present in almost every field however how many of us are aware of this information is a different story women's rights in society will become more apparent as we gain a greater understanding of the quran and sunnah to address the issue of gender equality we must first distinguish between equality and justice consider two different classrooms that each have a math quiz it is a ten question exam and the first questions of those two classes are
not the same because the teacher taught the two classrooms different topics the remaining nine questions are identical can we say that this is unfair no similarly allah created men and women with unique characteristics personalities and dispositions females were assigned distinct subjects so they were given an exam according to that for example because a woman is beautiful attractive compassionate and thoughtful her tests are prepared accordingly the male is tough physically strong and resilient as he has the power to tackle challenges so his exams were created according to that however both men and women are responsible for all of islam's commandments just as the nine questions were the
same in the example only the first question is different and that is all and that's due to his justice but the same reward at the end of the test is promised to both genders yes friends please like and comment on our video if you haven't already please subscribe we'll see you in the following video where we'll answer confusing questions take care you
