The purpose of men and women on earth<\/p>\n
– by Mufti Z.Bayat<\/p>\n
Why then have women been created? Allah Ta’ala desired that mankind should remain on earth\u00a0and He granted women an important position for the procreation of mankind until Qiyamah. All\u00a0the Ambiya (Alayhimus-Salaam) were born to some woman or the other. Even the Auliya-Allah\u00a0were born of mothers. When women are fulfilling such a lofty role in the community, it proves\u00a0without doubt that Allah has given position to women. Those that believe that the Shariah has\u00a0not given women a high status and position are absolutely wrong. Nowadays, because only\u00a0certain Ahadith are narrated to Muslim women in so far as their duties to their husbands, etc. is\u00a0concerned, many women feel that they are here only to fulfil the needs of men; whereas this is\u00a0not the case. Just as men have rights upon their wives, so too do women have rights upon their\u00a0husbands. The correct thing to do would be to show each of the Divine Texts in their relative\u00a0contexts. In this way, a fine balance is struck between the various Texts and a complete picture\u00a0regarding each others rights and responsibilities are better understood.<\/p>\n

UNDERCURRENTS TO MISLEAD MUSLIM WOMEN…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a clear under current at work in the media and educational institutes such as\u00a0universities, colleges and in other forums in the form of seminars and conferences, with the\u00a0direct collusion and connivance of hostile elements to (mis?)inform women, especially Muslim\u00a0women, with regard to their rights. They are made to believe that they should enjoy\u00a0“equal” rights with men and that they should put up resistance, fight and campaign\u00a0for these “equal” rights. It is on this basis that some so-called “Muslim”\u00a0organizations have set up “gender-desks”; to fight back for “equal” rights\u00a0that have ostensibly been denied to them. Day by day a vicious and aggressive campaign is\u00a0being undertaken by “Muslims” to convince Muslim women that their rights have\u00a0been suppressed, that they do not enjoy any position in Islam, that they are merely door-mats\u00a0and that they have no real status. We Muslims need to realize that this call is coming from those\u00a0quarters who ultimately want to take the Muslim woman away from the real and original Islam\u00a0and to attract her to a hybrid, distorted caricature of the real Islam – this is called the\u00a0“enlightened” version of Islam. The Muslim woman, more than ever, needs to\u00a0exercise her intelligence and understanding; she needs to view the matter in it’s correct\u00a0perspective. She needs to compare her position to\u00a0that of the women of the world before Islam; the time when she had no position in life and no\u00a0status in society. A woman was treated at that time as a real door mat. She was an object of\u00a0oppression. Little girls were buried alive and most women were\u00a0treated in the most despicable manner. If we had to study the history of Islam, you will no doubt\u00a0agree that Islam gave them a status like no other religion or system in the world, past present or\u00a0future. Even in the present time, there are many countries in the\u00a0world who hardly give women any rights; and what is ostensibly given to them as rights is a\u00a0mere window dressing of rights, to hoodwink the double-faced UN and it’s multi-faced organs.<\/p>\n

Islam has given women their due rights; Yes Islam does not want to give women the rights that\u00a0the west wishes to give women; in fact, this is no “rights”, but a mere deception of\u00a0rights. It is just a way in which they are able to drag women out of the sanctity of their homes\u00a0into the public arena, so that their men can fulfil their evil desires and lusts. They want to see\u00a0women naked on the street, deprived of their real position, stripped of their dignity, honour and\u00a0clothes. This is precisely what Islam does not wants for womankind… Unfortunately some\u00a0“Muslims” have naively played into the hands of the cunning foxes. Or maybe they\u00a0have deliberately chosen to work in cahoots with their “masters” – whom they adore\u00a0and virtually worship. The wolves in sheep’s skin are many these days. Distinguishing between\u00a0friend and foe is becoming an increasingly difficult exercise these days. Among the people\u00a0“employed” by these people are the so-called “scholars” of Islam,\u00a0commisioned to “re-interpret”, “revise” or “re-think” the Quran\u00a0and Islam and make these “relevant” to our times. One of these so-called scholars is\u00a0one American woman – some Amina Wadud Mohsin who recently came to South Africa and in\u00a0collusion with local “scholars”, went on a carefully planned mission to disrupt the\u00a0unity of the Ummah and plant seeds of doubt and dissension in the minds of Muslim women\u00a0across the country. Let us realize that if we are not going to equip yourselves with proper\u00a0Islamic knowledge; particularly our young Muslim women at schools, colleges and varsities or\u00a0even at home; our Iman will be in grave danger. Let us learn to recognize our enemies from our\u00a0friends. Merely to please our enemies are we\u00a0going to turn away from our True Benefactor? This will indeed be most foolish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
