Equality or Equity (Women)
Slave women started fighting for their rights in 17th century till to date on
going, free women got their rights 1400yrs ago and still enjoying but apparently
may seem slavery to the genuine slaves, slaves of real desires of satanic men.
Is it equality and does the principle of equality required every where?
A weight 40 kg is required to be lifted.
There are two men, one aged 18 years and other 60 years.
Both should carry 20 kg each?
or
One aged 18 years should carry 30kg and other 60 years should carry 10 kg ?
does it require equality or fairness ?
Men and women are not equal physically, they can never be equal, (might be some
bi sexual cases), both have different emotional psychology, both have different
hormonal changes, both constitute one unit, independently or in isolation they
are no good a human, both have to realise each capacity and then combine to get
another capacity.
There is no one in this universe which if free of gender discrimination except
the one who created them both, Who is above the gender association THE GOD
(ALLAH), only those instructions and laws are fair which have been laid down,
the problem is understanding, special lack of understanding by slaves, rigid
minded individuals, fundamentalists, extremists, perverted nature individuals,
illiterate.
Verily, the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam) men and women, the
believers men and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), the men and the
women who are obedient (to Allah), the men and women who are truthful (in their
speech and deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the
duties which Allah has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allah has forbidden),
the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord - Allah), the men and
the women who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat, and alms), the men and the women who
observe Saum (fast) (the obligatory fasting during the month of Ramadan, and
the optional Nawafil fasting), the men and the women who guard their chastity
(from illegal sexual acts) and the men and the women who remember Allah much
with their hearts and tongues Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a
great reward (i.e. Paradise).
( سورة الأحزاب ,
Al-Ahzab, Chapter #33, Verse #35)
O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will; and
you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the
Mahr you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse;
and live with them honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a
thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #19)
And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed;
indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #22)
Allah commands you as regards your children's (inheritance): to the male, a
portion equal to that of two females; if (there are) only daughters, two or
more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a
half. For parents, a sixth share of inheritance to each if the deceased left
children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has
a third; if the deceased left brothers (or sisters), the mother has a sixth.
(The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have
bequeathed or debts. You know not which of them, whether your parents or your
children, are nearest to you in benefit; (these fixed shares) are ordained by
Allah. And Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #11)
In that which your wives leave, your share is a half if they have no child; but
if they leave a child, you get a fourth of that which they leave after payment
of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts. In that which you leave,
their (your wives) share is a fourth if you leave no child; but if you leave a
child, they get an eighth of that which you leave after payment of legacies
that you may have bequeathed or debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is
in question has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother
or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share
in a third, after payment of legacies he (or she) may have bequeathed or debts,
so that no loss is caused (to anyone). This is a Commandment from Allah; and
Allah is Ever All-Knowing, Most-Forbearing.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #12)
There is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and
those nearest related, whether the property be small or large - a legal share.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #7)
They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for
a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her
menses), therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till
they are purified (from menses and have taken a bath). And when they have
purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah has ordained for you (go in
unto them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allah loves
those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by
taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts, bodies,
for their prayers).
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #222)
And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual
periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in
their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have
the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for
reconciliation. And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards
living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards
obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of
responsibility) over them. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #228)
And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, either take them back on reasonable basis or set them free
on reasonable basis. But do not take them back to hurt them, and whoever does
that, then he has wronged himself. And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allah as
a jest, but remember Allah's Favours on you (i.e. Islam), and that which He has
sent down to you of the Book (i.e. the Qur'an) and Al-Hikmah (the Prophet's
Sunnah - legal ways - Islamic jurisprudence.) whereby He instructs you. And
fear Allah, and know that Allah is All-Aware of everything.
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #231)
And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands,
if they mutually agree on reasonable basis. This (instruction) is an admonition
for him among you who believes in Allah and the Last Day. That is more virtuous
and purer for you. Allah knows and you know not.
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #232)
There is no sin on you, if you divorce women while yet you have not touched
(had sexual relation with) them, nor appointed unto them their Mahr
(bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage). But
bestow on them (a suitable gift), the rich according to his means, and the poor
according to his means, a gift of reasonable amount is a duty on the doers of
good.
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #236)
And if you divorce them before you have touched (had a sexual relation with)
them, and you have appointed unto them the Mahr (bridal-money given by the
husband to his wife at the time of marriage), then pay half of that (Mahr),
unless they (the women) agree to forego it, or he (the husband), in whose hands
is the marriage tie, agrees to forego and give her full appointed Mahr. And to
forego and give (her the full Mahr) is nearer to At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness).
And do not forget liberality between yourselves. Truly, Allah is All-Seer of
what you do.
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #237)
And for divorced women, maintenance (should be provided) on reasonable (scale).
This is a duty on Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
( سورة البقرة ,
Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #241)
And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has
chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above
the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) (of her lifetime)."
( سورة آل عمران ,
Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #42)
Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Îsa (Jesus)] after (all this)
knowledge that has come to you [i.e. 'Îsa (Jesus) being a slave of Allah, and
having no share in Divinity], say: (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "Come, let us call
our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves -
then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who
lie."
( سورة آل عمران ,
Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #61)
And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls
then marry (other) womenof your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear
that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the
slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing
injustice.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #3)
And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal-money
given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart;
but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it,
and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allah has made it lawful).
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #4)
There is a share for men and a share for women from what is left by parents and
those nearest related, whether the property be small or large - a legal share.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #7)
And those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the
evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify,
confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them or Allah ordains
for them some (other) way.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #15)
Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (slaves) whom your
right hands possess. Thus has Allah ordained for you. All others are lawful,
provided you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (bridal-money given by the
husband to his wife at the time of marriage) from your property, desiring
chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you
have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after
a Mahr is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is no sin on
you. Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #24)
And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women,
they may wed believing girls from among those (slaves) whom your right hands
possess, and Allah has full knowledge about your Faith; you are one from
another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk (guardians, Auliya' or
masters) and give them their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they (the
above said captive and slave-girls) should be chaste, not committing illegal sex,
nor taking boy-friends. And after they have been taken in wedlock, if they
commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free
(unmarried) women. This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in
his religion or in his body; but it is better for you that you practise
self-restraint, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #25)
And wish not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel
others. For men there is reward for what they have earned, (and likewise) for
women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allah of His Bounty.
Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knower of everything.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #32)
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of
them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their
means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to
their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allah orders them to
guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property). As to those women on
whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share
their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return
to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever
Most High, Most Great.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #34)
And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for
those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry
is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and
raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who
will help."
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #75)
They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allah instructs you
about them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the
orphan girls whom you give not the prescribed portions (as regards Mahr and
inheritance) and yet whom you desire to marry, and (concerning) the children
who are weak and oppressed, and that you stand firm for justice to orphans. And
whatever good you do, Allah is Ever All-Aware of it.
( سورة النساء ,
An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #127)
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden
things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to
show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for
necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like
veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over
Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their
adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's
fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their
brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their
sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or
old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of
feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide
of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers,
that you may be successful.
( سورة النور ,
An-Noor, Chapter #24, Verse #31)
And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves
chaste, until Allah enriches them of His Bounty. And such of your slaves as
seek a writing (of emancipation), give them such writing, if you find that
there is good and honesty in them. And give them something (yourselves) out of
the wealth of Allah which He has bestowed upon you. And force not your maids to
prostitution, if they desire chastity, in order that you may make a gain in the
(perishable) goods of this worldly life. But if anyone compels them (to
prostitution), then after such compulsion, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful (to those women, i.e. He will forgive them because they have been
forced to do this evil act unwillingly).
( سورة النور ,
An-Noor, Chapter #24, Verse #33)
O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the
latter are better than the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women,
it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another,
nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one's brother
after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as:
"O sinner", or "O wicked"]. And whosoever does not repent,
then such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.).
( سورة الحجرات ,
Al-Hujraat, Chapter #49, Verse #11)
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them;
Allah knows best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true
believers send them not back to the disbelievers. They are not lawful (wives)
for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them. But
give them (the disbelievers) that (amount of money) which they have spent [as
their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have
paid their Mahr to them. Likewise hold not the disbelievingwomen as wives, and
ask for (the return of) that which you have spent (as Mahr ) and let them (the
disbelievers) ask back for that which they have spent. That is the Judgement of
Allah, He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
( سورة الممتحنة ,
Al-Mumtahana, Chapter #60, Verse #10)
O Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)!
When you divorce women, divorce them at their 'Iddah (prescribed periods) and
count (accurately) their 'Iddah (periods ). And fear Allah your Lord (O
Muslims). And turn them not out of their (husband's) homes nor shall they
(themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open illegal sexual
intercourse. And those are the set limits of Allah. And whosoever transgresses
the set limits of Allah, then indeed he has wronged himself. You (the one who
divorces his wife) know not it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new
thing to pass (i.e. to return her back to you if that was the first or second
divorce).
( سورة الطلاق ,
At-Talaq, Chapter #65, Verse #1)
And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the
'Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubt (about their periods), is three
months; and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their
'Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise, except in case of death] .
And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are
dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is until they lay down their burden;
and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter
easy for him.
( سورة الطلاق ,
At-Talaq, Chapter #65, Verse #4)
Lodge them (the divorced women) where you dwell, according to your means, and
do not harm them so as to straiten them (that they be obliged to leave your
house). And if they are pregnant, then spend on them till they lay down their
burden. Then if they give suck to the children for you, give them their due
payment, and let each of you accept the advice of the other in a just way. But
if you make difficulties for one another, then some other woman may give suck
for him (the father of the child).
