In the Christian France in 586 AD, a
conference was held to discuss whether
the woman is a human with a soul or not.
And if she has a soul, is it of a human
or animal nature?
And is her soul equal to the soul of the
man or not? At the end they agreed that
she has a soul but it is inferior
because it is only created to serve the
desires of the man.
The evil, coward, and corrupt spirits of
men are the ones from which women were
created.
Before Islam, the Romans and Arabs used
to bury their young daughters because
they don't want to have female
overspring. For them, they cause
disgrace and they are not useful when
they grow older. They would simply put
them in a hole and threw dust over them.
In our civilized world, there are 127
countries located in the Caribbean, West
Africa, and Latin America, which export
the commodity of women. They deal in
women trafficking to Western European
countries and North America, where women
are exploited in the most brutal way,
such as hard labor and prostitution.
Before this land, the whole world dealt
with women as inferred creatures. Even
in religions, she does not have a
dignity or humanity. For instance, in
India, the wife was like a slave in her
husband's house. He could lose her in a
gambling or give her as a gift to his
friends. If her husband dies, she cannot
marry anyone else. In many cases, they
burn her alive. Also in China, the
husband can bury his wife alive if she
disobys him. If he dies, his family in
hurts her and they own her like a
property.
The existence of the woman is the main
reason and source of crisis and
destruction in the world. The woman is
like a poisonous tree. Her appearance is
beautiful, but when birds eat from it,
they die
immediately. The male priests judged
women and controlled them. When they
wish, they get rid of her. Do not talk
to me about her rights. We want from her
to be just like what we want. We want
her to fulfill our commands. We own her.
She is our slave. The woman accused by
her husband of adultery is sentenced to
death. Even if he does not have proof,
the woman in Christianity and Judaism is
the reason for all bites. She is the one
who seduced Adam to commit the original
sin. It is mentioned in the Bible. The
man said, "The woman you put here with
me, she gave me some fruit from the tree
and I ate it." According to
Christianity, God punished Adam and the
entire humanity because of Eve. But in
Islam, both Adam and Eve equally made
the mistake. They are both responsible.
Almighty Allah says in the Quran, "But
Satan whispered to both of them." Before
Islam, the status of women was like that
of animals or even worse, to be burnt
after the death of the husband. To be
buried alive, a slave from birth to
death. For example, the testimony of
women was not accepted at any court
regarding any matter, even when it comes
to her most private affairs like her
honor. In the Jewish belief, if the man
accuses his wife of adultery or if he
accuses her of not being a virgin when
he married her, her testimony is not
taken into account. She faces a trial
only accur to the testimony of the man.
If her family could not prove her
innocence or even if she really is
innocent, then she would be found guilty
by the court and she would be executed.
In Islam, if a man accuses his wife of
adultery, he takes oath five times that
he's truthful. And if the woman takes an
oath five times that she is truthful and
innocent, then she would be considered
innocent. And if a stranger man accuses
a woman of adultery, then he could not
prove it or bring witnesses to confirm
his allegation, then he should punished
with 80
lashes. I know it is a harsh punishment.
But keeping the dignity and honor of
Muslim women is more important. It is a
serious matter. The woman was not
created for science, wisdom, thinking,
art or politics. In Islam, education is
obligated in both men and women. There
was a woman in the time of the prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him. She went to
the prophet Muhammad to discuss with him
a religious matter until a Quranic verse
was revealed specially for this occasion
to explain this matter. The Quranic
chapter which contains the verses about
this matter is called surah aljah. It
means the bleeding because a woman kept
pleading to the prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him to have a ruling. So Allah
sent down clear verses for this specific
situation. As for the Bible, we will
find verses that ban women from opening
their mouths to talk in the churches.
Let your women keep silence in the
churches. For it is not permitted unto
them to speak, but they are commanded to
be under obedience, as also saith the
law. And if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home. For
it is a shame for women to speak in the
church. The women in the minstal period
causes bad omen, death, and destruction.
She makes everything around her
unclean. In May 2013, some women
protested against the old Hindu
tradition of detaining women in barns
during their menstrual cycle to avoid
impurity. More than 24 women die each
year because of the cold weather and
diseases they face during the time of
detention. In Hinduism, Judaism and
Christianity, a woman passes through
periods of impurity, so she becomes
cursed. Even her husband becomes impure
because of her in everything she
touches. In Islam, there is no such
nonsense. The prophet's wife mentioned
that he used to ask her where she ate to
eat from the same spot. In Islam, there
is no place for superstitions of
impurity and cursing. According to the
Bible, the man can take a vow and
fulfill it any time while the woman has
to ask her father or her husband to be
able to take a vow. In Islam, it is a
normal thing if a man or a woman takes a
vote in public or private and they can't
fulfill the vote and they want. If any
of them could not keep their votes, both
of them have to give the same exipiation
which is feeding 10 poor people. It is
clear and equal rulings for both of
them. From a woman, sin had its
beginning and because of her, we all
die. Adultery, it's a sin in all
religions, but it has different
definitions in each of them. In the
Quran, a man and a woman having a sexual
relation outside the frame of marriage
are both adulterous. The punishment is
the same for both of them. End of the
sur. While in the holy scripture, the
relationship is only considered other in
the case the woman was married. In that
case, the children are considered
bastards and homeless. As for the man,
if he is married and had a relationship
with a woman, he is not considered
adulterous and his children are are
legitimate. Why is that? Because in
Judaism the married the married woman is
owned by her husband. So when a man
commits adultery with another married
woman, he violates the property of
another
man. So he has to be punished. But if he
was married and slept with an an
unmarried woman, then he is not
violating the property of anyone. These
were such double standards and an insult
to the dignity of a woman. Marriage and
family are important in all religions.
In Islam, in a very short and eloquent
description, Allah says in the
Quran, "And of his signs that he created
you from yourselves, mates that you may
find tranquility in them, and he placed
between you affection and mercy indeed
and that are signs for all people who
give thought." This is marriage in
Islam. But what about Judaism and
Christianity? It is like ownership
contract. The Talmud says the household
articles, even the crumbs of bread on
the table were his. Should she invite a
guest to her house and feed him, she
would be stealing from her husband. This
is why even the richest woman becomes
penniless the moment she marries. Even
her decisions and character are owned by
her husband. She cannot do anything
except after his approval. She cannot
even go to the court if he oppresses
her. What you might not believe is that
the woman used to pay a dowy for the man
to marry her. She would take from the
money of her father to pay him. This is
why men didn't wish to have daughters.
In Islam, it is quite the opposite. The
man has to pay a dowy for the woman. She
alone can specify the amount of the dowy
she wants. After marriage, each of them
is independent in terms of the financial
matters in wealth. In the Bible, the
woman can never inherit for a simple
reason because she is part of the
inheritance. If she is a wife or a
mother, if she is the daughter, she can
inherit in case she does not have
brothers. If she has brothers, then she
cannot inherit at all. And the brothers
should not give her any of their
inheritance.
In Islam, in some cases, a woman may
inherit more than the man and sometimes
exactly like him and other times have
what he inhers according to the family
connection to the deceased. In the final
ruling, it might seem unfair to some
time that she and hers have what the man
inherits. But it is not unfair after we
know that in Islam the woman should be
supported by the man her entire life and
he carries the whole responsibility of
providing for her. Even now in our
modern times, the neop priests do
whatever they want to the woman. They
control her and judge her. She is a
commodity, a tool, a means. We decide
for her what she should do. Only we can
do that. When the Catholic Bible says
directly that the birth of a daughter is
a loss, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him says, "Whoever has three daughters
and is patient toward them and feeds
them, give them to drink and clothe them
from his wills, they will be a shield
for him from the fire of the day of
resurrection." When the Talmud says the
woman cannot own anything and everything
is owned by her husband, the household
articles, even the crumbs of bread on
the table were his, should she invite a
guest to her house and feed him, she
would be stealing from her husband. The
Quran says, "And due to the wives is
similar to what is expected of them
according to what is reasonable." It
also says, "It is not lawful for you to
inherit women by compulsion." And it
says for women is a share of what they
have earned. When the Bible says from a
woman sin had its beginning and because
of her we will die. The Quran says seek
no means against them and it says and
live with them in kindness. Many
Westerners believe that Islam is a
religion that restricts women. A
surprising number of women are
converting to Islam especially in
America and Europe. Women represent more
than 70% of the converts to Islam. The
question is what the reasons are for the
modern American and European women to
convert to
Islam. There are personal reasons linked
to women themselves who are not
satisfied with the religion that they
have been raised in. So they started to
read into religions until they found
Islam and they felt drawn to Islam
because of what they described as its
logic especially with regard to its
philosophy toward women. Many of them
expressed their attraction to women's
rights provided by Islam after they
correct the negative stereotypes which
they previously had and which often
associate Muslim women with oppression,
violence and submission to men.
One
more. One more.
