"Women are deficient in mind and religion"
" The majority of people in
hell are women"
Islam honours women very high and
many verses of the Qur'an and practices of the early Muslims bear witness to
the fact that woman is, at least, as vital to life as man is, and that she is
not inferior to man in any way (in neither religion or intelligence). Islam never
belittles woman or underestimates her role in the society. Allah has made this
clear in the Glorious Qur’an, by stating shining examples of some women for the
believers– male and female- to emulate. In this con****, the Glorious Qur’an
says,
“And Allah citeth an example for
those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a
home with thee in the Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and
deliver me from evil doing folk; and Mary, daughter of Imran, whose body was chaste,
therefor We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the
words of her Lord and His ******ures, and was of the obedient.” (At-Tahrim:
11-12)
Allah Almighty and prophet
Muhammad praised the good women, let us look at the following quotes from our
Islamic sources:
"For Muslim men and women,-
for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women,
for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble
themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast
(and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men
and women who engage much in God's praise,- for them has God prepared
forgiveness and great reward. (The Noble Quran, 33:35)"
"The Believers, men and
women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what
is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey God
and His Apostle. On them will God pour His mercy: for God is Exalted in power,
Wise. (The Noble Quran, 9:71)"
In islam women clearly have the
right to forbid men what is evil, so this proofs women aren’t inferior to men
in religion or intelligence, since Allah swt gives women the right to correct
men when they are wrong, and to forbid them the evil.
The Hadith is authentic, the
Prophet (SAAWS) talks about women not as a gender or a race or ethnic. He talks
about sinful people who deserve what they will have of destiny. If a man does
the same, he will have the same Hell. This is the only way you can interpret
the Hadith.
The Prophet (SAAWS) has explained
what he says of shortage of religion which is different from the chrisitian
missionaries interpretation or translation of religion. He says, you are less
commended to practice the religion, because of menstruation. When he talks
about lack of intellect, he does not talk about potential of brain or capacity
of talent or skill. A woman is overloaded by being a mother or a babysitter or
pregnant. All these carriers are around the clock, because of what she is, she
is always likely to forget more than a man who is devoted to one career only.
Allah is merciful, he forgives her and makes it easy for her when she is not
fully responsible to give a full testimony as a witness. Nothing of that is
defaming a woman, there is not a law that discriminates a woman to put her
down.
He said: "I have never seen
among those who have a deficiency in their intellect and their religion anyone
more capable than women of swaying the intellect of the most determined of
men." He is actually asserting here the power of women to influence men
and sway their opinion. This is one of the distinctions that women, in their
natures, have.
He then went on to define
precisely what he meant by these deficiencies. In the remainder of the hadîth,
some women asked him: "O Messenger of Allah, what is this deficiency in
our intelligence and religion?" He replied: "Isn't it that a woman's
testimony as a witness is half of the testimony of man?" They said:
"Yes." He said: "This, then, is the deficiency in her
intelligence. Isn't it true that when she is in her menses, she leaves off
prayers and fasting?" They said: "Yes." He said: "This is
the deficiency in her religion."
These are matters of Islamic Law.
A woman is neither sinful nor blameworthy because of the prayers and fasts that
she misses. She, in fact, receives blessings by obeying Allah and abstaining
from those acts while she is menstruating. Her testimony as a witness is half
that of men only in matters wherein she is generally less versed than men. In
other matters wherein women have particular knowledge, like fosterage and
virginity, the testimony of a woman is accepted but not that of a man.
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon
him) attested to the perfect character of four women: Mary, Âsiyah
the wife of Pharaoh, Fâtimah, and Khadîjah. He definitely did not mean that
these women did not go through menstruation. He was referring to their good
character, strength of intellect, and soundness of opinion.
- Women are a bad omen.
o Mohammed said, " Bad omen
is in the woman, the house and the horse." Vol. 7:30
There are two Hadiths related by
Al-Bukhari suggest that there is no bad omen at all, because the wording in
these Hadiths is as follows: “If bad omen happens to be present, then it may be
in a house, a woman and a horse.” This implies that there is no bad omen in
reality; it is people who may feel that a particular house, woman or horse
brings bad luck. Once again, this is a comment on what takes place in reality
and how people believe. It is phrased in the conditional form to indicate
disapproval of the whole idea of bad omen.
What actually happens is that
people tend to attach any unfortunate event to what they did recently. If a
good rider happens to have a fall, after having bought a new horse, he accuses
the horse of bringing bad omen. The cause of the fall may have nothing to do
with the horse, but still the thought of bad omen may persist. The same is true
with marriage or buying a house. These three are so much involved in a person’s
life that they become easy targets for blame of our misfortunes. This is not
the way a true believer should react. A believer is one who is patient in
adversity, thankful for whatever may happen to him, knowing that it is all from
God. He compares his fortunes with those of people in more difficult
circumstances and thanks God for His blessings.
& prophet Mohammad pbuh said :
"(Believing in) bad omen is (a form of) idolatry."
