It is the existence of
the woman that gives the universe its colors:
When
this world was created Almighty Allah sent the sacred couple of Adam and Eve on
this earth, and after them the complete ecosystem established. The main task of
Adam and Eve was to teach human being the methods that how one should spend
life. In actual the sacredcouple teaches the ethics and moralities to human
being. Allah called them a complete couple and told them to be with each other in
all of the times whether happy or sad. The main aim of discussing the story of
Adam and Eve is to explain the importance of the woman. When Hazrat Adam (a.s)
and Hazrat Hawawere sent on the land they were sent with the couple of animals,
birds and insects. This means that Allah has created the female gender in all
of His creations.The female gender is equally important as male and how can
women be inferior when she belongs to the most superior creation of Allah.
Between
a relationship of men and women Islam has given a certain position of honor,
respect and dignity to women. In past that is before Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa
(saww) women were treated so brutally and when any baby girl use to born all
Arabs use to bury them and use to think that girl is the sign of disrespect and
cowardice. But when Holy Prophet (saww) was born he actually defined the rights
of women. He titled the girl as the sign of blessing and asked Muslims to
respect and love the girls. In hadiths it is mentioned that whoever nourish
their girls in the best way I Muhammad (saww) will give the surety of the Jannah
to the parents and moreover in world the parents will get many kind of
blessings. Islam is the only religion which is very liberal and it gives the
complete rights to the women. In fact Islam is the unique religion which has
appointed a particular status to women and specifically on Islam gives these
rights and no other religion in world gives this much right to women.
In Holy Quran it is repeatedly said that
women is equal to men and she should be treated the same way as men. Holy
Prophet said that “a woman is a flower and she should not be overburdened”.
Even in life hereafter women would be treated like men and in Quran it is
mentioned that “both men and women will treated equally on the Day of Judgment
and no one will be given a favor on the name gender”. But unfortunately the concept of the women rights
in Islam is misunderstood even after the 1400 years of Islam still people wrongly
interpret the women’s right. Even in this modern world when any girl wants to
marry according to her will she is killed on the name of dignity especially in
the subcontinent and Arab countries this practice is so common. Before 1950s in Europe women were not allowed
to work like men when in the 2nd world war many men died then the
allegations was removed. But the saddening thing is that women are divided
under the banner of race and religions like in the modern Christianity rules
women are not obliged to cover their heads so women in European countries have
become so called modern. Whereas is Islam women must cover their heads especially
in the gathering of men to whom they don’t have legal relations. If you do some
research you will find that in early centuries women of other religions use to
be very ethical and decent but unluckily the world has completely changed.
Now the women are the sign of showoff
and showpiece they usually becomes the brand ambassador of many products and
they use as model. All these things are strictly prohibited in the religion
Islam but tragicallynowadays many Muslim families have become part of these
unethical activities. Islam is the religion which gives the right of getting
education of women, in Hadith it is mentioned that all men and women should
gain education. There is no condition in Islam that women cannot gain education
but still many families do not send their girls to school as they think that
only Islamic education is discussed in the Hadith.
Allah has given the best status that
is of mother to women, it is said by Holy Prophet (saww) that your mothers have
ten times higher status and right than your father you should treat her with
the respect. So it is very clear that God loves those who treat all the women
with the great honor. Men and women are equal but they have assigned several tasks
and both should not interfere with each other until or unless it is necessary.
Islamic history is full of wonder full
ladies like Lady Khadija; she was the first wife of Holy Prophet and before
getting married to Muhammad Mustafa (saww) she use to run the huge business of
trading and she was the richest lady of her time. So it is clear that there is
no harm if women works but she should take care of religious values. The women
rights are irrespective of the sects, these days number of sects in Islam have
been created but all sects of Islam treat equally the woman. When any womenmarries any men all of her maintenance is the responsibility of men and even
the expenses of weddings are the responsibility of the men but now every Muslim
have taken influence of Hindus and the family of man demands number of things
in form dowry which is really bad thing. Heartbreaking thing is that many girls
are unable to marry because their parents do not have enough money to arrange
the expenses of the wedding. If all of the Muslims follow strictly Islam many
things can be changed and no doubt world will lead to success, peace and
prosperity moreover by following Islam all Muslims can stand against the evil
powers of disbelievers.
