Women In Islam And Christian

[NaSra]

Umm Zachariah Asalamalaykum Sister,

If women were equal, women would be allowed more than one spouse.

Omg, are you serious? Let me tell you why Islam does not allow that, it's because Allah is All-Aware that it will create a problem of kinship. This means that the child may not know who is actually his real father (it could be anyone of the four/three or two husbands...) thats logical. In addition to the psychological damage it may cause, Even birds and animals do not allow polyandry. God, if your chance of believing that Islam grants women equality depends on why women can't have multiple husbands than you don't know what equality means.


It is also worth to know that Islam gives a woman the right to refuse Polygamy for her husband by setting it as a condition during the marriage procedures. If this condition is set, then the woman is granted divorce if her husband marries another while still with her.


Did you know that? I bet not.


The Quran gives women full respect during marriage and after divorce. For example, a The Prophet said: <b>the most perfect believers are the best in conduct and the best of you are those who are best to their wives.</b>
Women have the right to education: Islam does not deprive women from being educated. On the contrary, Allah and his prophet urged women to have their education, as they bring up a new generation that is supposed to benefit the coming generation.


We Muslim women have the right to work in Islam: The Prophet was keen to see women educated, as they bring up the coming generation that will benefit its community. The mother should be educated to benefit those young children with her knowledge and education. But she doesn't have to work if she wants, Despite any wealth she may have, her husband is obligated to provide her with food, shelter and clothing.

can a woman leave the house without a mans permission or being unaccompanied by a man. Lets say you are at home alone, does Islamic teaching allow a woman to leave the house without asking for the permission of a male?

Why is that so bad? We are talking about two people who are married, who love each other more than anything in this world, what’s wrong if the wife lets her husband know where she is going? What's so oppressing about that? It is an act of mutual respect between a couple, Allah says in the Quraan that men are the protectors of women.


What you don't understand is that we take our orders from the Noble Qur'an (Speech of Allah) and the sayings of Prophet Mohammed (May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) not man-made rules. We fellow gods rules gladly, we are not striving to be "independent" because we already are independant + liberated, we have been liberated since fourteen centuries ago.


Why does liberation seem to be synonymous with taking ones clothes off and competing with men? Why does it have to prove that a woman is equal to a man? Why are half the women in the world controlled by the male dominated fashion industry? What is liberating about being told each year how long your skirt will be, how high your shirt will be, what kind of neck line and sleeves you will wear. Yet when a Muslim woman chooses to be respected for her religious conviction as a mother and wife and intelligence, she is considered controlled and abused?


I rather be a slave to Allah then anything else, and John spare us your sympathy and your pitying we are really fine
