May Allah reward sister Muslimah for this article.
Today many muslims unfortunately are effected by the non-believers ,their environment and their ideologies. It’s sad to see that some muslims have negative ideas about islam. For muslims Islam should be a way of life ,the Quran and the sunnah of the prophet(pbuh) are the only source of guidance ,moreover muslims must strive to gain knowledge about their religion ,understand this knowledge and most importantly put it to actions with sincerity. Our present time is a one of fitnah and corruption thus people must not always refer back any doings of muslims to islam for islam is not to blame for the wrong doings of the muslims.There is no doubt at all that islam honours a muslim women greatly.With the coming of islam women have been put out of the state of humility they were living in and their rights were given to them.
Quote:BUT EXISTING TO PLEASING YOUR HUSBAND AND WELL, BEING A SLAVE TO ALLAH IS OK, BUT DOING EVERYTHING YOUR HUSBAND SAYS, WHEN YOU HAVE MORE FREEDOM NOT BEING MARRIED[/quote:57ec7754eb]A muslim women does not have the right to refuse her husband everytime he calls her ,except if she has an excuse for example she is sick or at a time of bleeding or fasting an obligatory fast ,or if she will be harmed,etc. Then the sin is on the husband if he persists. also In the Quran it says(meaning):</div></blockquote>
"[b:57ec7754eb]So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah. for Allah is strict in Punishment[/b:57ec7754eb]."Surah 29 verse 7
Many ahadith mentioned command women to respond to her husband when he calls her,and as mentioned in the verse above we are to obey what the prophet(pbuh).

Being a slave to Allah is a privilege for Allah called the prophet(pbuh) in the Quran slave of Allah ,and the scholars said here that the Arabic word for slave can be interpreted in 2 way either it’s a status and it’s the status of the humans for they are all slaves of Allah ,or it’s more than a status by giving the person the honour by associating them with being a slave for Allah.

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="6" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>GO GET IT ELSEWHERE -I DONT CARE[/quote:57ec7754eb]That would be encouraging Zina and opening the doors to evil , you must care for there will come a day when each one of us will be accounted for all their actions in this world.People today are living for this Donya forgetting that it’s a temporary abode and one day we will leave but whether to hell or paradise that depends on our actions in this life.Also in the Quran it says(meaning):
" [b:57ec7754eb]Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.[/b:57ec7754eb]"Surah Al-Imran verse 110
It’s the duty of every muslim to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil.
I must say the word wife is totally different from slave ,however the image given is that by becoming a wife a women becomes a slave which is not true a wife has rights over her husband and vice versa.

[/quote:57ec7754eb]There is a great deal of wrong in it for by doing that the person is committing Zina(adultery)which is a major sin in islam,and there is punishment if somebody commits such an evil deed, furthermore in the Quran we are warned about it for Allah says(meaning):
"[b:57ec7754eb]Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)." [/b:57ec7754eb]
It’s disgraceful for that is exactly like animals , fulfilling a desire with any partner as long as it’s fulfilled. It’s disgraceful for a women to be the object for any man who wants to fulfill his desire and after that as if they never knew each other , noting most of the time that the women suffer ,either she gets pregnant ,or disgraced between people in places where people have MORALS!!!, or end up with a disease that is not curable. Furthermore isn’t it enough for a muslim to know that Allah the All –mighty forbade such action!!!!!!
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="6" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>OVERALL, BEING BORN A WOMAN AND MUSLIM IS A MAJOR DISADVANTAGE[/quote:57ec7754eb]Al-hamdolliah for such a beautiful wonderful bless which is islam, and may Allah increase our faith. You know I believe that all muslims should first read about their religion, comprehend it ,then speak out , for speaking without knowledge does more harm than good. Subhan Allah some people spend years of their lives searching for the right path going through so much until they find islam the true religion and somebody who has been raised as muslim does not appreciate it. Anyway all humans are born on fitrah which is islam but the parents change the religion of the child to Judaism ,Christianity , or paganism ,and the proof is the hadith of the prophet(pbuh) which says:
[b:57ec7754eb]It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every child is born in a state of fitrah (the natural state of man, i.e., Islam), then his parents make him into a Jew or a Christian or a Magian.” (Agreed upon). [/b:57ec7754eb]
To think that being born as a female is a major disadvantage was the way of the Jahilliya and when islam came it removed such an ignorant idea for whether male or female is from Allah(swt).Women are need for men just as men are need of women in the quran it says(meaning):
"[b:57ec7754eb]They are your garments and ye are their gar[/b:57ec7754eb]ments"Surah al baqarah verse 187
What a beautiful description.

There is always wisdom behind what the rulings Allah put for us and we are only humans and don't always understand such great wisdom and we don't always have to know it.Moreover I just want to comment can you please express your opinions in a better way for showing clear objection to rulings of islam is different from seeking answers.
