If I recall muslim women cannot marry non-muslim men. Why is that if men and women share the same rights in islam?
Muslim women don’t enjoy the same right
but MORE. 🙂

It’s a must for men to earn & spend for women . If a woman earns , money belongs to her only , men have no right over it. So , in Islam , his money is her money , her money is only her money …see the differnece ?

Also , men’s responsibity is to take care of women .

Why God did not allow Muslim women to marry non Muslims , only God knows best . I can tell u about human explanation.

When a Jewish or Christian lady goes to her in laws house , she finds that Muslims respects All the Prophets she loves . She won’t hear any nasty word against Prophet Moses or Jesus ( pbut). But a Muslim woman will be hurt to hear that Muhammed (p) is a fake one etc.

Also , child gets fathers name/identity . kids of a non Muslim dad will get non Muslim identity …it’s not allowed.
You mention inheritance. Would the non-muslim woman fall under the sharia inheritance law where women only receive half of what men get?
Men must spend from what they get , women are free from spending . so , what they get remain to them but men must spend all the time , no excuse will be tolerated.

I read somewhere that Muslims dont’ inherit from non Muslims & the vice versa.

These two statements contradict each other. If women get more rights than men then muslim women should be able to marry non-muslim men, right? If it is God’s will that women cannot marry non-muslims then God’s will does not give women more rights than men.

Also the fact that women get half the inheritance of men also contradicts this first statement. Also the fact that a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s (due to to her lack of mental capacity, according to muhammed) is again another contradiction.

God and things from God are never a contracdiction.

You say the muslims are offended when people point out that their religion is false. By saying that our Lord Jesus Christ was just a prophet is akin to saying that Catholicism is false. Seems like you have a double standard.

Wrong . rights dont’ mean **same nature / same responsiblity **in all things .

If my country is under attack , it’s men’s duty to go to war & defend the country , it’s not a must for women to take arms & fight .
Also the fact that women get half the inheritance of men also contradicts this first statement.
nuh . read the post again , try to understand the logic.

take my example . I got a flat from my dad . I am enjoying all the money …I am not giving anything to my husband . But my husband needs to spend his money that he got from his dad for me . Why it’s hard to understand ?
Also the fact that a woman’s testimony is only worth half that of a man’s
not in all cases . time for night prayer . InshaAllah will write about it later.

Christians use dirty words to degrade Muhammed (p).
we don’t use any nasty words about Jesus or
Mother Mary ( pbut ) .

Can’t u see that whenever we write their names , we use respectful words / ask God to shower His blessing on them ? How that can hurt Christians ?
 
Ok first off what do muslims believe about masturbation and celibacy?

Is masturbation a sin for muslims?

Are the clergy in the muslim faith suppose to remain celibate or are they permitted to marry?
 
Wrong . rights dont’ mean **same nature / same responsiblity **in all things .
Marriage and fredom of will is a right. Every true right is associated with a duty the person has. I have a right to get married to the person of my choice because I have a duty to fullfill my vocation to be married. I cannot fullfill that vocation if I am forced to marry someone not of my choice. Why cannot a muslim woman marry a non-muslim. A muslim man has this right. Why doen’t women? Seems like this is a right that a man has that a woman does not.
take my example . I got a flat from my dad . I am enjoying all the money …I am not giving anything to my husband . But my husband needs to spend his money that he got from his dad for me . Why it’s hard to understand ?
What does this have to do with the unequal inheritance? Why not give the entire share to the woman. Why only a half. Since it is already the man’s responsibility to take care of the woman why does he need twice the share of inheritance. Shouldn’t he be working already? Why can’t the woman take care of herself if she wishes? If she wants her brother to take care of her then she can make the free choice to give half of her inheritance to him. :confused:
not in all cases .
Well you contracticted youself again. Supposedly women have more rights than men. If a court case it is a person’s duty to give testimony so the truth is brought out. It is a person’s right to have their testimony is heard if ti further’s the truth. So in some cases, by your admission, this right is not afforded (or at least degraded) to women in islam.
Christians use dirty words to degrade Muhammed (p).
we don’t use any nasty words about Jesus or
Mother Mary ( pbut ) .
I see any untruth as an evil since it is not from God. I could consider the fact that you call the Son of God only a man something that degrades Christ. It degrades his divine nature to a purely human nature.

Facts about muahmmed’s life, the agressive battle’s he led, the treaties he broke, the persecution he inflicted on others, people he killed for criticizing him, the 9 year old he married are not nasty words. They are the truth according to the hadith. Anything nasty about them comes from the nature of muahmmed and these islamic writings, not the utterance of them by non-muslims.

Muslims often say that some of these hadiths are weak or not truth. I have often wondered why would muslims continue to propagate and promote hadiths that do not characterize muhammed as the peaceful man he supposedly was?
 
Wow, women have more rights?

This is why the koran has a full chapter on them telling how the man is to beat her, and do other things to her.

Or here are some hadiths on their greater number of rights:

Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”

Qur’an 4:11 “Allah directs you in regard of your Children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females… These are settled portions ordained by Allah.”

Muslim:B1N142 “‘O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.’ A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof.’”

Qur’an 4:43 “Believers, approach not prayers with a mind befogged or intoxicated until you understand what you utter. Nor when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.” [The Qur’an claims women are unclean and polluted - worse than dirt.]

Qur’an 33:59 “Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better.”

Qur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”

Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’”

Ishaq:584 “Tell the men with you who have wives: never trust a woman.”

And these are not even the end of all the nasty things about women in islam’s koran and hadiths.

’ Understanding muhammad, A Psychobiography’ really goes into mohammed’s negativity towards women and how it is manifested in the koran and hadiths.

yes .

to get married is higly encouraged in Islam. It helps people to stay away from adultery / fornication. Of Course all Muslims are allowed to marry including Imams ( religious leaders ) .

Now, these are week hadiths and are not really taken seriously or are not true. Muslims still keep them in the islamic cannon and sharia law is based off of them becasue…ummm…

could somone help me here… :rolleyes:
 
I have more about all the value mohammed placed on women. When muslims in America, and any Western country, where sharia law is not the law of the land say that islam values women they are being less than honest and also not doing their muslim sisters that live in countries where sharia law is the law of the land any good. There comes no voices from our lands from the Western muslim in our lands to stop the atrocities of what happens to women in muslim lands. And what they are either in denial about, or ignoring, will be brought to the lands for their daughters and future females since their goals are to islamicize the lands they live in - yes, to bring sharia law to our lands.

The ones who try to bring this to people’s attention are the ones that the muslims bash - such as; Mr. Robert Spencer; other ex-muslims such as Walid Shoebat, Hirsi Ali, etc. Since I have supported these people I have seen where they go to colleges to speak and the left wing along with muslim women - all either throw things or out shout the speakers trying to bring light to the plight of muslim women in muslim lands.

The worst human rights violations are in lands where sharia law has prevailed.

Well, enough about that - onwards with why I am posting:

This is very disturbing too.

Stonings.

mohammed told his followers that they are to like stonings.

Jesus stopped a stoning and mohammed encouraged them. These few words say mountains about the differences between Jesus and mohammed.

Many hadith, including Sahih Bukhari give proof that Stoning was ordered and practiced by Muhammed, for example:

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 413:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
The Jew brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque."

here are more hadiths about stoning:

faithfreedom.org/Articles/stoning.htm

here are some passages about women’s deficiencies:

Did you know - Quran (4:34) orders a man to beat his wife if she doesn’t obey him?
Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Here is a good doc gathering together all the wife beating information:

Now, these are week hadiths and are not really taken seriously or are not true. Muslims still keep them in the islamic cannon and sharia law is based off of them becasue…ummm…

. I have a right to get married to the person of my choice
If u marry a disbeliever , there is a risk that in future u will be influenced by ur life partner & will go astray . Also , in future , when u will be blessed with kids , they will also become disbeliever .

Islam gives importance on hereafter most . So , though a Muslim man is allowed to marry chaste women of people of the holy books , it’s not encouraged.

Also , kids must be raised as Muslims . Many will say that now a days , specially in the west , Muslim men must not marry non Muslims as chances are high that kids will be influenced by the atmostphere & will ruin their hereafter.
Why cannot a muslim woman marry a non-muslim.
becuase God did not allow it & God knows best .

Human explanation is given already.
Why not give the entire share to the woman. Why only a half.
already answered.
Why can’t the woman take care of herself if she wishes?
If a wife is a millionaire & husband is a poor person , he is responsible for her well being . He will spend by his standard.
If a court case it is a person’s duty to give testimony so the truth is brought out.
women are allowed to work but it’s better if she stays at home & be the Queen there . Surely u know king rules the kingdom & Queen rules the king ? 😛

As women normally don’t do the financial transaction , business etc & motherhood is a 24/7 full time job , women may not give full attention at outside works .

So , these could be the reason 'Quran has instructed the believers dealing in financial transactions to get two male witnesses or one male and two females (2:282) .

If a husband brings a serious charge against wife , then wifes testimony will be equal to him .

WOMEN IN ISLAM VERSUS WOMEN IN THE

BEARING WITNESS

… women were not allowed to bear witness in early Jewish society. 12

The Rabbis counted women’s not being able to bear witness among the nine curses inflicted upon all women because of the Fall (see the “Eve’s Legacy” section).

Women in today’s Israel are not allowed to give evidence in Rabbinical courts. 13

The Rabbis justify why women cannot bear witness by citing Genesis 18:9-16, where it is stated that Sara, Abraham’s wife had lied. The Rabbis use this incident as evidence that women are unqualified to bear witness.

It should be noted here that this story narrated in Genesis 18:9-16 has been mentioned more than once in the Quran without any hint of any lies by Sara (11:69-74, 51:24-30). In the Christian West, both ecclesiastical and civil law debarred women from giving testimony until late last century.

Testimony of Women

As for woman’s competence to give testimony, it depends on the nature of a given case.

If the subject-matter relates to transactions, then for the testimony to be admissible, it must be given by two women in addition to one man.

The is based on the Qur’anic verse: ‘And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not (at hand) then a man and two women, of such as you approve as witnesses, so that if the one errs (through forgetfulness), the other will remember.’

(Al-Baqarah: 282)

The significance of stipulating two women here in the above-mentioned verse, instead of one, is due to the nature of the case, which is somehow complicated and requires a certain kind of accuracy.

Thus, for their testimony to be admissible, there must be two females so that if one of them forgets, the other can remind her. This is not the case for men.

Should there be any loss of memory from one of them, the other cannot be a substitute; rather, the testimony will be straightaway rejected. This also shows the great respect Islam has for women.

That post is the same as saying no matter how much abuse and denigration is levied upon women - it is a good thing and that proves they are valued. :doh2:

Sort of a ‘abused wife syndrome’ if I ever heard of one. :hypno:

And I keep saying there is no logic in islam. We data processors call it ‘negative’ logic.

I fail to see a verse in the Torah similar to the one in the Koran that officially regulates women’s testimony.

I personally find those Rabbis’ alleged explanation rather ridiculous. Sara is never stated to be the representative of all women in the Torah! More, her acts are related to her personal traits, not to her being a female human.
It should be noted here that this story narrated in Genesis 18:9-16 has been mentioned more than once in the Quran without any hint of any lies by Sara (11:69-74, 51:24-30). In the Christian West, both ecclesiastical and civil law debarred women from giving testimony until late last century.
The Koran does not even mention Sara by name! How can we expect the Islamic scripture to contain certain details in the biblical accounts when we see that it apparently discards many crucial elements stated in the same stories. The Koran does not even narrate Abraham’s affair with Hagar. A person reading the Koran before reading the Bible may mistakenly conclude that Sara was the mother of Isaac, Jacob, and Ishmael!

The NT has no commandment or teaching that bars women from giving testimony either. Ironically, the news of the Lord’s resurrection is first delivered to women, whom God considered equal to Christ’s male disciples.

Finally, the 12th Surah of the Koran makes a hasty and faulty generalization by ascribing the deceitful plans of the Egyptian ruler’s wife to the nature of all women:

Surah 12:23-28
And she, in whose house he was, asked of him an evil act. She bolted the doors and said: Come! He said: I seek refuge in Allah! Lo! he is my lord, who hath treated me honourably. Lo! wrong-doers never prosper. She verily desired him, and he would have desired her if it had not been that he saw the argument of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might ward off from him evil and lewdness. Lo! he was of Our chosen slaves. And they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from behind, and they met her lord and master at the door. She said: What shall be his reward, who wisheth evil to thy folk, save prison or a painful doom ? (Joseph) said: She it was who asked of me an evil act. And a witness of her own folk testified: If his shirt is torn from before, then she speaketh truth and he is of the liars. And if his shirt is torn from behind, then she hath lied and he is of the truthful. So when he saw his shirt torn from behind, he said: **Lo! this is of the guile of you women. Lo! the guile of you is very great. **

If this demonstrates the great respect Islam has for women, I cannot even imagine what would be considered the great disrespect towards women in Islam???

First, the quoted verse in chapter 2 obviously implies that resorting to women’s testimony is only advisable when it is impossible to find TWO MEN. Thus, women will not be allowed to give testimony if two male witnesses are present.

Second, the same verse means that TWO WOMEN will be called to substitute for the MISSING MAN. Thus, the missing male (one man) will be represented by TWO WOMEN. Why? Because the authors of the Koran taught that TWO WOMEN make ONE MAN. 😃

… the 12th Surah of the Koran makes a hasty and faulty generalization by ascribing the deceitful plans of the Egyptian ruler’s wife to the nature of all women:

Holy Quran :

**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 Allah and His Messenger.

On them will Allah pour His Mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise"

(9:71).

“And their Lord answered them: Truly I will never cause to be lost the work of any of you, Be you a male or female, you are members one of another”

(3:195).

"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,

for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity,

and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise-- For them all has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward"

(33:35).

===WOMEN IN ISLAM

by Dr. Zakir Naik

Prophet was once asked who amongst all the people was the most worthy of his respect and compassion .

The Prophet (Pbuh) replied “your mother”; the man wanted to know who should be next, the Prophet (Pbuh) said “your mother”.

The man enquired, who next?, the Prophet (Pbuh) replied for the third time “your mother”, again the man asked who next? The Prophet (Pbuh) replied “your father”.

This means that **75% of love and respect goes to the mother and 25% **to the father; that the better 3/4th goes to the mother and the remaining 1/4th to the father; or to put it in another way the gold medal goes to the mother and the father gets a consolation prize.

The Koran verses quoted above does not change the fact that the verse in Surah 12 blames all women for being deceitful as a consequence of their nature.

The Hadiths, on the other hand, praise not all women, but only women that give birth and become mothers. Although every mother is a woman, not every woman is a mother.

I also wonder why Mohammad did not respect his own mother, about whom even Muslims know almost nothing.

Verses we need specially for hereafter

They [Jews and Christians]
took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords beside God

[by obeying them in things which they made lawful and unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by God],

and [they also took as their Lord] Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they [Jews and Christians] were commanded [in the Tawrah (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel)] to worship none but one ilaah (God – Allah) la ilaha illa Huwa

[none has the right to be worshipped but He].

Praise and glory is to Him [far above is He] from having the partners they associate (with Him).}*

The following verse in the Koran was written by other scribes that contradictorily approved of rabbis’ authority:

Surah 5:44
Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which **the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah’s Scripture **as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses.

The writers of this verse thought that Jewish rabbis and priests were given authority by God to judge the Jews in the same way as the prophets!

Some scribes must have suffered from short memory while writing the Koran. :rolleyes:
