woman rights in Islam

[Last_ Ray]

(2 )woman through history

There is nothing in any other religion, nation or law that can compare to the honour which woman gains in Islam. The Roman civilization decreed that woman was a slave who belonged to man, and had no rights at all. In Rome a major synod met to discuss the case of woman, and decided that she was a being who had no soul, and that therefore she would not inherit life in the Hereafter, and that she was evil.

In Athens women were regarded as chattels; they were bought and sold, and were regarded as evil, the handiwork of the devil.

The ancient laws of India state that disease, death, Hell, snake venom and fire were all better than woman. Her right to life came to an end when her husband's - or master's - life ended. When she saw his body burning she would throw herself into the flames; if she did not do so, she would be subject to curses.

woman in Judaism, the ruling on her in the Old Testament is as follows: "So I turned my mind to understand,to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains…" It is known that the Old Testament is venerated and believed by both Jews and Christians.

This was the situation of woman in ancient times. With regard to her situation in the Middle Ages and in modern times, this will be explained by the following:
The Danish writer Wieth Kordsten explained the view of the Catholic Church towards women. He said: "During the Middle Ages very little care was given to women, following the teaching of the Catholic church which regarded woman as a second class creation."

In France, a council in 586 CE decided to research the case of woman and whether she was to be counted as human or not. After some discussion, they decided that woman was human, but she was created to serve man.

The 217th clause of the French law states the following: "A married woman - even if her marriage is based on the condition of separating what belongs to her and what belongs to her husband - is not permitted to give anything as a gift or to transfer any of her property or use it as collateral, or to take possession of anything whether in return for payment or otherwise, without her husband being a party to the contract or agreeing to it in writing."

In England, Henry VIII forbade the English woman to read the Bible. Until 1850 CE women were not counted as citizens, and until 1882 CE they did not have any personal rights.

Arabs before Islam : are the most worst , they buried their babies alive if she was a female . Allah said in the Quran : [ [8] When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned, [9] For what crime she was killed; ]

[Darwinian]

Yes, and now we've all moved on and women and men are treated equally throughout the western word. When is Islam going to catch up as it still seems to be in the middle ages.

Can't you realize that the majority of illegitimate children are to women who work in laboratories or who work as house maids where they are exposed to men's gazes?

What is an illegitimate child? Does a child disbecome 'real' simply because of the circumstances of its birth??

"men are accustomed to mixing which made women seek behaviors that disagree with their nature.

Seek behaviors that disagree with our nature? In what way do you mean? We are all humans... women are not so different from men.

What is 'mixing', and what is wrong with it? Diversity is key to human survival and advancement... to restrict 'mixing' is to deny diversity.

Statistical data shows that adultery becomes higher and is aggravated where the mixture between the men and the women increases.

What is wrong with 'adultery'? We are designed for sex... are you suggesting we should deny our design?

So fathers, do not get tempted by money and stop sending your daughters to work at laboratories and teach them to stay away from men.

Teach them antisocial behavior? Are daughters mere currency to be traded to the highest buyer?

Had there been no doctors to administer abortion pills and medicines, there would have seen quadruples of these figures. It has become sordid to see men in our country refuse to marry the inexperienced girls; meaning those girls who have children from adultery so that they can benefit from them. How much this woman suffered from the bitterness of the life!!"

Very few people have children just to benefit from them... and that men refuse to marry inexperienced girls is a good thing. Where are a woman's rights in this system where they are but cattle to trade? Women suffer greatly in the system you have presented.

British writer Annie Rode says:" if our girls work in houses as servants or maids then it is better than working at laboratories where the girl becomes pollutant by tubercles that take the splendor of her life forever. I wish our country were like Muslims countries; where decency, Chastity and purity are the dress of servants and slaves while enjoying the most luxurious living and a good treatment by the house masters'. A good treatment similar to that they apply to their own children with no harm. ... Yes it is a shame on the British countries that they let their girls becomes symbols of vice by leaving them mix with men. Why are we careless in seeking what makes the girl agrees with her natural being as ordered in the divine religion while abandoning the works the conforms with men to men in a attempt to protect her safety and honor!

She is a moron... seriously. This is stupid beyond my ability to respond. It is also absolutely false on every premise.

Dr. John Kishlr one of the American psychologists announced in Chicago that 90 % of the American women are frigid and that 40 % of men are barren. He further added that advertisements that depend on the pictures of the naked girls are the reason in the descent of the sexual level of the American people. (For more details refer to the American congressional committee Report about the investigation in youth crimes in America titled: "the collapsed American society manners - The naked society in documents and numbers, p. is 11)

This guy is a moron too. I'd say that the complete reverse is true: America is probably one of the most sexual nations on Earth... and we American women have sex so much because we ENJOY it. Also, being barren is in the minority... which is why we have so many kids if we don't use contraception of some sort.

And to be honest... men masturbate to naked women all the time. So these pictures of naked girls are usually trying to sell sex as a product: and often enough succeed to keep the sellers in the business. As far as I can see... the youth that masturbates has less pent up sexual pressure... therefore they are much less likely to rape or commit any other sexual crime. There has only been a rise in American sexual levels, so far as I have seen.

What is wrong with 'adultery'? We are designed for sex... are you suggesting we should deny our design?

which in turn would be denying the design that Allah who (allegedly) created us in, therefore going against Allah which would be disrespectful to the Qaran, maybe all the Muslims should now kill each other ..problem solved.

Until Allah the most merciful sent his messenger of Marcy prophet Mohammad peace be upon him before 1400 years :

to say :Women are the twin halves of men.
to say: The world and all things in it are valuable; but the most valuable thing in the world is a virtuous woman.
to say: The best women are the virtuous; they are the most affectionate to infants, and the most careful of their husband's property.
to say: When a woman performeth the five times of prayer, and fasteth the month of Ramadan, and is chaste, and is not disobedient to her husband, then tell her to enter Paradise by whichever door she liketh.
to say: Verily a great number of women are assembled near my family, complaining of their hubands; and those men who ill-treat their wives do not behave well. He is not of my way who teacheth a woman to stray.
to say: Asma, daughter of Yazid, said, "Victuals were brought to Muhammad, and he put them before some of us women who were present, and said, 'Eat ye.' But notwithstanding we were hungry we said, 'We have no inclination.' Muhammad said, 'O woman! Do not mix hunger with lies.'"
to say: Whoever doeth good to girls, it will be a curtain to him from hell-fire.
to say: Whoever befriendeth two girls till they come of age, will be in the next world along with me, like my two fingers joining each other.
to say: Whoever befriendeth three daughters, or three sisters, and teacheth them manners, and is affectionate to them, till they come of age, may God apportion Paradise for him.
to say: Whoever hath a daughter, and doth not bury her alive or scold her, or prefer his male children to her, may God bring him into Paradise.
to say: Shall I not point out to you the best of virtues? It is your doing good to your daughter when she is returned to you having been divorced by her husband.
to say: God enjoins you to treat women well, for they are your mothers, daughters, aunts.
to say o not prevent your women from coming to the mosque.

Also the holy Quran announced her rights :

[And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; ]
[on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity ]
[but bestow on them (a suitable gift), the wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means; a gift of a reasonable amount is due from those who wish to do the right thing. ]
[Let the women live (in 'iddat,) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: annoy them not, so as to restrict them ]
[From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large, a determinate share ]
[and to women what they earn: ]
[Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments ]
[O ye who believe! ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower ye have given them,]
[A divorce is only permissible twice: after that , the parties should either hold together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for you, (men), to take back any of your gifts (from your wives),]

The western world

As for contemporary woman in Europe, America and other industrial nations, she is a creature which is degraded and abused for commercial purposes. She is a feature of advertising campaigns, and things have reached a stage where she takes off her clothes in order to advertise products on posters, and she sells and displays her body according to systems devised by men, so that she is no more than an object of pleasure for them in every place.

Woman is cared for so long as she is able to give and contribute physically or mentally. When she becomes old and cannot give any more, society – individuals and institutions – forsakes her and she lives alone in her house .

Finally
in Islam the woman's rights on her husband is to feed her before feeding himself , to dress her before dressing himself , he must spend a part of his money on her [ it is her right ] , and if the husband able to bring for her a female servant also it is one of her rights .

Indeed they do... Turn out the internet really was made for porn

[Tiberius]

There is nothing in any other religion, nation or law that can compare to the honour which woman gains in Islam

I can name one.

Modern democracy, also known as secularism. A secular democratic nation treats all women as equals to men; it doesn't force them to do anything they don't want to, it doesn't tell them how to behave, how to dress. They are free. They are their own people. They have more honour individually than the summation of the "honour" that Islam gives to every women it tries to control.

[Minimalist]

Give us a little more of your islamic bullshit, Ray.

[Craveman]

Women are equal to men Last_Ray. Treat people the way you would want yourself to be treated. Let them decide for themselves what they want. You are controlling women through religion which is wrong. This is the 21st centuary, time to wake up and move on.
