Women are One of the Finest Blessings in This World</h2>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
One of the most striking examples of the lovelessness and harshness of the fanatic mindset is these people’s attitude towards women. Because of all the superstition they fabricate, fanatics, who regard women as an inferior species, exclude women from society and are unable even to bear the sight of them on the streets. In the pages that follow we shall be setting out the fanatic attitude toward women, citing various fabricated hadiths on the subject, and then seeing how their false perspective is diametrically opposed to the Qur’an and the true word of our Prophet (pbuh). The fabricated hadiths in question will give a much better idea of the utterly immoral way in which women are oppressed in many Muslim countries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Underlying the fanatic perspective toward women is the idea that women are deficient in faith and mind. The idea that women are semi-people and need to be governed and directed therefore prevails. For people who think like that, even the very existence of women is a menace and a cause of anger; they therefore feel the need to keep them covered up, excluded from society, deprived of all rights and declared non-persons to the maximum extent possible. They foolishly turn women into second-class citizens and prevent them from making decisions and becoming involved in social matters, and seek to turn them into a community under their own dominion because they know full well that women are quite capable of thinking in great detail, making rational judgments and drawing accurate conclusions by analyzing fine detail. Excluding women by false means has also made it possible for some fanatical types to spread their own falsehoods very easily.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Yet God has revealed that there is no differentiation between men and women in terms of piety and that men and women have equal responsibilities when it comes to doing good works, striving to disseminate moral virtues and waging an intellectual struggle on His path. According to the Qur’an, men and women are equal in terms of responsibility; however, the Qur’an also regards women as superior to men in terms of solicitude and worth, taking great care of them. Some verses which various fanatics and enemies of Islam always seek to portray as evidence against women are actually verses that reveal the superiority of women and the importance and value that our Lord attaches to them. We shall be looking at these verses in detail in due course.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
One comparison that our Lord makes regarding women in the Qur’an shows how much He values them; He compares woman to a delicate plant, or a flower. This description of Mary (pbuh) is an explicit corroboration of the importance and value attached to women:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Her Lord accepted her with approval and made her grow in health and beauty [like a beautiful plant] .... <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 3:37)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Caring for a lovely flower calls for the very greatest sensitivity. A lovely plant is delicate and valuable and requires great care and attention. That beauty of a flower, its delicacy, the care it needs and its value and importance neatly describe the place of women in the Qur’an. It is a fact that God has created all the plants and flowers in the world as elements of beauty, as delightful blessings, as symbols of cleanliness and beauty and as marvels of creation. The use of such an expression of beauty to refer to women, the way that God compares women with a symbol of cleanliness and beauty, is an excellent representation of the value attached to women.</div>

Women in the Qur’an</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
A magnificent value is attached to women in those verses of the Qur’an that speak of her, and women are placed under special protection under all circumstances. In terms of responsibility, however, she is regarded as equal to man. A woman is placed under protection therefore, not because she needs that protection, but because she possesses a special value.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In the Qur’an, a woman can work if she pleases, but she is not obliged to work. As we see in the example of the Queen of Sheba, women can even rule over states. As we see in the example of Mary (pbuh), a model for all other women, a woman in the Qur’an is superior in her fortitude and determination at times of difficulty. A woman in the Qur’an is a queen, an entity who must always be given pride of place. In terms of its perspective toward women, the Qur’an is therefore the finest guide for the entire world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In the time of our Prophet (pbuh), women were involved alongside men in all areas of life. The fact that the blessed wife of our Prophet (pbuh), Khadija (ra), was a well-known and respected businesswoman in the region is an important piece of information in terms of showing the active role that women could play in social life. In the time of our Prophet (pbuh), female and male companions enjoyed equal responsibility in the instruction of people who had newly come to Islam, in the establishment of social order and even in war. The kindness, love, warmth and goodness that our Prophet (pbuh) showed his wives are the finest model for the whole world. It is clear that our lovely Prophet (pbuh), who ran races with his wives, who bent down to help them climb up onto the backs of donkeys, who praised the superiority of women at every opportunity and who rested his head on his wife’s shoulder while watching entertainment, would never permit the dreadful practices of the fanatics. There is also no doubt that by casting doubt on the Companions by fabricating false hadiths in the name of the Messenger of God (pbuh), the fanatics are slandering both him and the Companions and are assuming a heavy responsibility on themselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.7em;">The reason why women in the religion of the fanatics are so different to women described in the Qur’an will immediately become apparent when we examine some fabricated hadiths. A clear and definitive response to each fabricated hadith is also provided from the Qur’an.</span></div>

<em>O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands.

<em>God said: … <u>I also make her stupid</u>, although I had created her intelligent, and must make her suffer pregnancy and birth with difficulty …. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(The History of Al-Tabari: General Introduction and From the Creation to the Flood, translated by Franz Rosenthal<br />[State University of New York Press, Albany], Vol. 1, pp. 280-281)</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There is no mention in any verse of the Qur’an of women being weaker than men in terms of intelligence. On the contrary, by referring to “believing women and believing men,” God tells us that they have equal responsibility in His Sight; in other words, that they are similar in terms of intelligence and conscience. Moreover, as in the example of the Queen of Sheba, women can even be rulers of states taking decisions on the most important matters. In addition, it is not having a different anatomy that makes a person more intelligent, but their fear of God, love of God, depth of faith and conscience. God always inspires the truth in the conscience of every human being, man or woman. Therefore, what makes people intelligent and devout is not whether they are men or women, but whether they abide by what is revealed to their consciences and, as revealed in this verse, <span class="ayet" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;"> You who believe! If you fear God, He will give you discrimination [between right and wrong]...”</span> <span class="ayetno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 8:29)</span> their fear of God: That is the sole measure of intelligence in the Qur’an. Therefore, in the same way that a man is not superior solely for being a man, a woman is not deficient in intelligence and faith simply because she is a woman. However, as we have said many times, the religion of the fanatics is totally different to the Qur’an and is full of slanders. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The way that they slander God Himself with the fabricated hadiths in question shows the extremes to which the fanatics will go. Nothing along the lines of “... <em>I make her stupid, and must make her suffer pregnancy and birth with difficulty” </em>appears in the Qur'an, so what is the status of these words alleged to be the words of God? Where is this revelation, alleged to have come from God, if it does not appear in the Qur’an? The greatest danger of the religion of the fanatics is that they speak lies in the name of God and are therefore capable of such slander.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

A difficult pregnancy and giving birth in pain is one of the tribulations of this world, and one that requires great fortitude, strength and willpower to bear. God reveals that a mother who displays fortitude in the face of this difficulty is very valuable in His Sight. For that reason, a mother who displays submission to God and love of Him despite all such difficulties is a very superior entity. This value attached to mothers is one of the moral values in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As we have seen, there are ways in which women are even superior to men in the Qur’an, therefore the idea that they are “deficient in intelligence and faith” is a grotesque slander by the fanatics. God addresses men and women equally in terms of responsibility. That is one the reasons why male and female believers are addressed at the same time in numerous verses. One such verse reads:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are believers, men and women who are obedient, men and women who are truthful, men and women who are steadfast, men and women who are humble, men and women who give the alms, men and women who fast, men and women who guard their private parts, men and women who remember God much: God has prepared forgiveness for them and an immense reward. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 33:35)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As seen in this verse, there is no distinction between men and women when it comes to such basic elements of being a Muslim as fearing God, remembering God, being loyal to God, having fortitude and giving alms; there is not the slightest suggestion in the Qur’an that women possess any less of any of the characteristics of a believer. Whether people are men or women they have a responsibility to fear God with all their might, love Him with a profound passion and earn His approval.</div>

Hadiths and Claims Fabricated to Debase Women</h2>

<div class="hadis" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
O womenfolk, you should give charity and ask much forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of hell. ...<span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;"> (Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 142)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The false hadiths in question make it clear how women are belittled and regarded as second-class citizens in societies made up of fanatics. Following the fabrication of these hadiths, some Islamic communities turned into societies of fear and fanaticism that despised and belittled women and shut them up indoors. Women being regarded as second-class citizens led to communities developing a terrible lack of civilization, cultural deformities, lack of taste and emptiness; the representatives of that fanatic mentality never grew or developed. Many countries in the Middle East today are in the middle of that cultural deformity and lack of quality produced by that terrifying perspective. Yet the religion in the Qur’an is lovely, plain, high-quality and peaceable. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The fanatics in question have completely failed to grasp that God attaches great value to women, the jewels of paradise, in both this world and the hereafter. Most important of all, they never sought guidance from the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
None of the terms in the false hadiths in question appear anywhere in the Qur’an. God described people with impaired morals, who do evil and commit unlawful deeds in detail in the Qur’an, and none of these descriptions say anything about them referring particularly to women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
For example, God reveals in the Qur’an that a great many people will not believe, and that a great many of those who do will ascribe equals to Him:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Alif Lam Mim Ra. Those are the signs of the Book. And what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth. But most people have no faith. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 13:1)</span></div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Most of them do not have faith in God without associating others with Him.<span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;"> (Qur'an, 12:106)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In another verse, God reveals that despite His creating all possible means for people to learn from, the majority of people still do not learn, but continue with the same moral degeneration:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
We have variegated it for them so they might pay heed but most people spurn anything else but disbelief.<span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 25:50)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As we have seen, neither these nor any other verses of the Qur’an say anything about people with poor morals and behavior being women, in the way that fanatics allege. People who behave immorally are not classified on the basis of their gender in any verse. There is nothing in any verse saying that women are more immoral or less women will enter paradise any less. The information in false hadiths is all fraudulent and fabricated in order to spread hostility toward women. The Qur’an absolutely and definitively refutes the false hadiths in question.</div>

Were there no women, God would be worshiped properly. (Suyuti, Sahih Bukhari, Ibn-i Adiyy, Abu Khatim, Ibn-i Jawzi, Muhammed Nasuriddin and Ibn-i Hibban all accept this hadith.) <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Silsilat al-Ahadisuzzaif: 74, Tenzihusharia: 1/62, Al-Leali: 2/59)</span></div>

Let us first of all recall one very important point; the misogynistic mindset described in the false hadiths appears absolutely nowhere in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Moving on to the content of the fabricated hadiths above, it is not women or other blessings of this world that prevent people who are weak in, or devoid of faith, from living by religious moral values, but their own weakness of conscience, mind and will. God has created this world as a test. In the same way that people are tested throughout their lives with troubles, difficulties, diseases and weaknesses, so they are also tested by blessings and good things. Women are one of the blessings and jewels of this world. Like every blessing, however, how that blessing is evaluated depends on the moral values of the person possessing that blessing. God reveals in the Qur’an that the blessings of this world are created as a test:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
To mankind the love of worldly appetites is painted in glowing colors: women and children, and heaped-up mounds of gold and silver, and horses with fine markings, and livestock and fertile farmland. All that is merely the enjoyment of the life of this world. The best homecoming is in the Presence of God. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 3:14)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Like women, children, gold, silver, splendid animals, farmland and wealth are all blessings of this world and provided for people to enjoy. However, a person who has faith will also be aware that all these blessings really belong to God, that all the blessings found in this world are transitory, and that the most and finest forms of all blessings are to be found in paradise. None of these blessings therefore turn such people away from God or prevent them striving on His path. If a person falls into heedlessness on account of any of these blessings and no longer seeks God’s approval in all things, then this is something stemming from his own weakness of faith; it is not the fault of the blessings, but of the person himself. It is therefore the person himself who will have to face the consequences, so long as he does not correct himself. It will do no good to a person trying to blame someone else in the hereafter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, a man who seeks to hold women responsible, on the basis of these false hadiths, for all his own errors, sins and evil deeds, is merely deceiving himself. According to the Qur’an, faith means that a person must serve God properly, no matter what the conditions or circumstances. Nobody will be able to use the idea that, “I was unable to worship properly because of women” as an excuse in the hereafter. As we are told in a verse, <span class="ayet" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">“... man will be clear proof against himself in spite of any excuses he might offer”</span> <span class="ayetno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 75:14-15) </span> In other words, no matter what excuses a person may come up with, he is still perfectly aware of the truth. Some people who blame women for their own lapses on the basis of these false hadiths are of course perfectly well aware that they are being hypocritical and making up the whole idea up. Ignoring the fact in this world will change nothing in the Presence of God, where <span class="ayet" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">“...Every self will be paid in full for what it earned. They will not be wronged.” </span><span class="ayetno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 3:25)</span></div>

As we have seen, one of the most important reflections of the way in which fanatics despise women is their fervent wish never to see them in positions of authority. They are therefore opposed to women rulers; they are even against the notion of women being consulted at all. They have this idea that everything women think and everything they do is wrong. This is part of their unpleasant stratagem of excluding women from society. The fabricated hadiths above have also served that end and in many countries fanatical communities in which such perverse ideas prevail and which are hostile to women have formed. Yet that mentality is diametrically opposed to the practices of our Prophet (pbuh) in the Qur’an, and is in manifest conflict with Islam. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
For example, as the peddlers of superstition spread the foolish idea that “<em>Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler,” </em>God cites the Queen of Sheba, a female ruler, in the Qur’an. Despite all the superstition about “not consulting women,” the Queen of Sheba was the sole ruler who made all the final decisions on matters of state. Verses report the leadership qualities of the Queen of Sheba as follows:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
However, it was not long delayed, and then it said, “I have comprehended something you have not and bring you accurate intelligence from Sheba. I found a woman ruling over them who has been given everything. She possesses a mighty throne.”<span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;"> (Qur'an, 27:22-23)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
That is how the Queen of Sheba, a female ruler who governed her people, was described to the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). After the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) had sent the Queen of Sheba a letter of invitation, she consulted the leading members of her people who sent the following reply:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
They said, “We possess strength and we possess great force. <u>But the matter is in your hands so consider what you command</u>.” <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 27:33)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As we have seen, in the Qur’an women can rule states and be rulers and have their decisions and commands enforced. The conceptions of women in the religion of the fanatics and the Qur’an are totally at odds with one another.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
When fanatics shamelessly insult women through these false hadiths, they are unaware that they are also insulting Mary (pbuh), the devout female believers in the Qur’an, the blessed wives of our Prophet (pbuh) and his female Companions. It must not be forgotten that a mentality that so despises women turns that contempt toward all women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
We can clearly see how different the lives of the fanatics is from the Qur’an when we look at the position of women in the time of our Prophet (pbuh):</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
For example, the wife of the Prophet (pbuh), Khadija (ra) was one of the wealthiest merchants of Mecca. She sent trading caravans to Damascus and employed people for that purpose. In the Medina period, women worked as leather workers, manufacturers of thread, weavers, pharmacists, tailors and perfume sellers and took an active part in all spheres of life. Women took part in wars alongside men, and even served in the front line when necessary.</div>

Quayba bint Sa'd, of the people of Aslam tribe, is reported to have treated the sick and injured in the time of our Prophet (pbuh); in other words, women in the time of the Prophet (pbuh) worked as doctors. Indeed, Asma bint Umais, a highly intelligent, educated and experienced women who migrated to Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia), is known to have been a very good doctor. Ummu Salama says that Asma bint Umais made medicine for the Prophet (pbuh) from "plants and olive oil brought from India and Yemen.” That account also says that Asma learned to make that drug in Abyssinia.<span class="hadisno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;"><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.7em;">(Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat, II, 236.)</span></span><a href="http://www.harunyahya.com/en/books/191085/Bigotry-The-Dark-Danger/chapter/15444/Ch3-The-Fanatics%E2%80%99-Hatred-of-Women#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 51, 51); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #cc0000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title=""></a></div>

The names of some of the women who sold attar of flowers in Medina in the time of our Prophet (pbuh) are known. One of these, Mulayka Ummu as-Saib al-Saqafiyya, entered into the presence of the Prophet (pbuh) in order to sell scents; this clearly shows us that women in the time of our Prophet (pbuh) worked as sales people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The position of the female companions who took part in battles alongside all other Muslims is described as follows in one of the accounts that set the matter out quite perfectly:</div>
<div class="hadis" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
<em>“Polytheists who took advantage of the negligence of the believers entered in such a way that a group of 10-12 people charged with protecting the Messenger of God had to also enter the fighting. At one moment our Prophet (</em>pbuh<em>) was left alone, with only Nasiba with him. That isolation lasted 40-50 seconds. One of the polytheists seized the moment and attacked, but Nasiba slew him with her sword. A second polytheist attacked the Messenger of God. That polytheist was double-armored. No matter how much she struck, she could not kill him. She received a sword blow from her shoulder to her lower back. Other believers then arrived and neutralized that unbeliever. Those few seconds were so important! Nasiba received 11 wounds at Uhud. Yet she never left until the end of the battle.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As we have seen, in stark contrast to the false hadiths, women in the time of the Prophet (pbuh) were present in even the most crucial places such as the battlefield. Female companions occupied such eminent positions as protecting the Prophet (pbuh) in battle. The way that our Prophet (pbuh) regarded it as appropriate for women to assume the role of protecting him in such a dangerous and life-threatening situation is an important indication of how much he trusted the intelligence and conscience of the female companions in question.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Not only male believers, but also female believers are addressed in the verse <span class="ayet" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">“You who believe! Do not say, ‘Ra’ina’ [be our shepherd], say, ‘Undhurna’ [watch over us] ...”</span><span class="ayetno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;"> (Qur'an, 2:104). </span>In this verse, women, as well as men, are advised not to say “be our shepherd.” This means that in the Qur’an, women are not regarded as entities needing to be looked after and governed by men because of their weakness of mind, but on the contrary as strong, intelligent people, capable of standing on their own two feet and whose conscience is to be trusted. However, many people in some Islamic countries that have been shaped by these false hadiths that have been brought in over the course of centuries are devoid of that conception: Therefore, when we say, “Men and women enjoy the same rights in the Qur’an,” those who vehemently deny that knowingly or unknowingly rebel against God’s verses.</div>

The hatred of women that has persisted for hundreds of years in the fanatic mentality has brought a great mass of people to slander God and our Prophet (pbuh). Notice that there is no reference in these false hadiths to women enjoying equal rights with men according to the Qur’an, superiority lying not in gender, but in mind and conscience and in fear of God; neither is there any mention of the existence of Qur’anic verses in which the rights enjoyed by women are protected.</div>

These commandments and accounts are deliberately avoided, and there is never any mention of women being entities who are glorified in the Qur’an. Therefore, these words that have deceived Muslims for hundreds of years, and alleged to be the words of our Prophet (pbuh) himself, have led to a perverse mentality becoming ascribed to Islam. In this way they have defamed Islam and our Prophet (pbuh) for hundreds of years.</div>

Yet the idea of women being left backward by God, may He forbid, appears in not one single verse of the Qur’an. On the contrary, God reveals in the Qur’an, through words such as <strong>“believers, those who believe, anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer...” </strong>that all believers, male and female, have the same responsibilities, with no allowances made for gender. In verse 95 of Surat an-Nisa’, God says;</div>

Those believers who stay behind – other than those forced to by necessity – are not the same as those who struggle in the Way of God, sacrificing their wealth and themselves. God has given those who struggle with their wealth and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind. God has promised the Best to both, but God has preferred those who struggle over those who stay behind by an immense reward. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 4:95)</span></div>

As we have seen, the verse speaks of believers having a responsibility to wage an intellectual struggle on God’s path throughout the course of their lives. However, that responsibility is imposed equally on men and women. By addressing all “believers,” God holds all Muslims, men and women, responsible for discharging that religious obligation. If a Muslim woman performs that obligation better than men, then that woman will be superior to all men in the Sight of God. If a Muslim man does it, then he will be superior in the Sight of God because of his piety; there is no differentiation between the genders here. On the contrary, superiority lies in conscience, intelligence and sincerity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, just like all the others, these false hadiths too are at total variance with the pronouncements found in the Qur’an and the value attached to women in the Qur’an. First of all, Muslims prostrate themselves to none but God. The only powers to which a Muslim will bow his head and obey are God and His Prophet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
For a Muslim woman, her husband is a helpless servant whom she loves for God’s sake and for whom she feels respect and compassion to the extent compatible with being a Muslim. Her love and respect are directionally proportional to her husband’s sincere devotion to God, the strength of his faith and his zeal and determination on His path. There is no question of her feeling respect for her husband simply because he is a man, as there is in the rotten mentality of the fanatics. For a Muslim man and woman, marriage is also a vow that applies to the hereafter. A Muslim woman can, therefore, only feel love, respect and affection for a husband who is virtuous, a student of the Qur’an and someone she hopes that God will be pleased with in the hereafter. She would never feel that love and affection if the opposite applied. Even thinking of such a love or using it in a sentence for comparative purposes is absurd for a Muslim. In contrast to what the fanatics think and the model they seek to impose, a Muslim woman is exceedingly aware, lucid, intelligent and worthy of respect, she has adopted the spirit of the Qur’an and lives her whole life by that spirit.</div>

Allegations Prohibiting Women from Adorning Themselves</h3>

"God curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful…" <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Sahih Bukhari, Book 60, Hadith 408)</span></div>

The main ideas behind the fanatic mindset that seeks to portray women as repulsive, ugly, ill-groomed and second-class citizens stem from these false hadiths. This appearance that fanatics have imposed on women under the name of religion has led to them being regarded as ill-groomed and even no longer human and devoid of beauty, cleanliness and fine speech.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The picture of a Muslim woman drawn by the false hadiths above is one that makes it impossible for a woman to have any place in social life. Under that model, if a woman is a Muslim it is unacceptable for her to be attractive, clean and well-groomed. The fanatic mindset that portrays that notion as a sign of piety thus turns woman into an entity that cannot enter into society because of her appearance and also deprives her of the opportunity of talking about the faith for the same reason.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Just think; what woman would wish to live by a model under which Muslim women are represented by a woman who pays no attention to grooming, who attaches no importance to cleanliness, who never even thinks of dealing with the hairs on her face yet is not even embarrassed to go where other people are? Or who would want such a person to talk about religion? So how can a woman who believes that religion forbids looking attractive, clean and well-groomed, and that she will be cursed by God for doing so, want to have anything to do with such a faith? </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This is one of the main reasons why Islam is all too often literally thought of as a sinister faith best kept well away from, particularly in Western societies. The fanatics have imprisoned Muslim women in an entirely fabricated model that has absolutely no place in the Qur’an, and thus seeks to prevent them living by and preaching Islam. Whereas in the same way that a Muslim woman has a duty to speak of the moral virtues and love of the Qur’an, she also has a responsibility to show these virtues through her behavior and attitudes, to live by them plainly speaking. In talking about being a Muslim she must look good, and in explaining that being a Muslim means love, she must genuinely embody that love; in that way, someone who really needs to know the beauties of the faith must know that this faith will bring all these delights with it and must be able to see them with his own eyes. That is also the way it is described in the Qur’an. The Qur’an speaks of Muslims wearing fine and spotlessly clean clothes and using the finest clothing and accessories when they meet together.</div>

As will clearly be seen from the few verses quoted here, God employs the beauty of women, the smoothness of their skin from which all hairs have been removed, in the words <strong>“Just like closely guarded pearls,</strong><strong>” </strong>as a measure of beauty, and reveals that this is how the women of paradise will be. This means that God regards smooth and clean skin as beautiful. God loves beauty, cleanliness, elegance, adornment and pleasant clothing, and wishes to see His servants in that form. There is no question that our Prophet (pbuh) would regard as beautiful the things that God regards as attractive and would encourage and advise Muslim women along those same lines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It must not be forgotten that there may be women who have to resort to such grooming methods for reasons other than esthetic ones. For example, women may have to wear wigs after such difficult forms of medical treatment as chemotherapy. This is perfectly normal, and even necessary, and this is an excellent way of looking after themselves for the women in question. Fanatics, however, try to do away with this beauty and making life easier by means of these false hadiths.</div>

In the same way, there is no prohibition in the Qur’an regarding tattoos in various patterns, the correction of asymmetrical eyebrows for instance through tattooing, or the removal of hairs on the face; that would in any case violate the spirit of the Qur’an. Fanatics who would force a pretty young girl to go out with excess facial hair, who would embarrass her in front of other people and who would strive to make her ugly rather than attractive are therefore unable to represent beauty in any way. Yet God encourages believers to be well-groomed, attractive, elegant and clean in verses.</div>

When we look at these two false hadiths, we see that Islam is portrayed as depicting women as supposedly second-class entities condemned to submit to their husbands’ every whim (surely our Lord, the Qur’an and Islam are beyond that); according to that devilish way of thinking, the husband has such dominion over a woman that she will never be able to repay him, not even if she wipes the dust from his feet with her face or licks his body clean of pus. Despite this weird mentality, for hundreds of years, nobody felt the need to even question why a husband should enjoy such rights over a woman, and that led to this blind, superstitious belief putting down deep roots; so much so that most Muslims have regarded that kind of twisted logic as legitimate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Under this foul way of thinking, women have been forced to fulfill the ignorant concept known as “a woman’s duties” toward their husbands even if they are deeply unhappy with those husbands’ appalling behavior and lack of moral values. They have been despised and mistreated, and the precious few rights they enjoyed have been restricted to the point of irrelevance. The idea that they are second-class and feeble entities condemned to oppression has been imposed on them by force, and that perspective has become institutionalized in Islamic societies. For centuries, nobody stood up and said, “There is no such way of thinking or belief in the Qur’an. Men and women are equal. God bestows wide rights and freedoms on women in the Qur’an.” On the contrary, for centuries, the mentality of superstition has imposed non-Qur’anic practices on some ignorant Muslims through a variety of falsehoods spoken supposedly in the name of God and the faith, such as, <strong>“This is what the faith commands. God and the angels will curse those who do not do it. Such people will be sinners. They cannot earn God’s approval or enter paradise.”</strong> The characters of most Muslim women have been annihilated by husbands brought up with the teachings of the fanatical mindset because in the religion of the fanatics, women have no choice but to obey their husbands and do whatever they want. The great majority are not allowed to read, work, enter into social life or even so much as look out of a window. Therefore, since they are made physically and psychologically dependent on their husbands, and since the customs and traditions that prevail in that segment of society also nourish the fanatic mindset, it is next to impossible for women to free themselves from that repression.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
We need to ask here, what it is about men in these fanatic societies governed by superstitions that cause men to view themselves as wholly superior and adopt the perspective that women are little more than chattel? In the view of the Qur’an, superiority lies solely in piety, and the reward for that is to be hoped from God. How can a man have such dominion over a woman that she can never repay him even if she licks the pus off of his body? Who created those rights that can never be repaid, and why? What can bestow any rights on him apart from this superiority of piety? God certainly bestows no such privilege on him, and thus that privilege appears nowhere in the Qur’an: So where did this claimed superiority come from? How did “every husband” without exception come to enjoy this lofty position, irrespective of whether he is devout or irreligious, a believer or a polytheist, a sinner or a tyrant?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is the false hadiths in question that have bestowed this false elevation onto men and that have been made part of Islam by the fanatic mindset. They have spread and imposed that mindset, which is not in the Qur’an and which is cursed by God, in the name of the faith. Most Islamic communities, and even most women who have been indoctrinated in these Islamic communities, simply cannot comprehend any other way of thinking. That is one of the worst scourges that the religion of the fanatics has inflicted upon the world.</div>

The Rights and Superiority Bestowed on Women in the Qur’an Are Nowhere in the Religion of the Fanatic </h3>

In societies under the influence of fanaticism, women cannot enjoy the broad rights and authorities recognized as belonging to women in the Qur’an. Indeed, women living in these societies are wholly unaware even of the existence of those rights and freedoms. The women in question are brought up far removed from the moral values of the Qur’an. One consequence of that exclusion is that most of them are unable even to read and write. There is therefore no way in which they can know that what they are living by is not Islam, but the pseudo-religion of fanaticism. However, not only these miserable women, but also many countries of the world all imagine that these fanatical practices that have persisted for centuries actually stem from the Qur’an. They imagine that, may God forbid, the Qur’an describes a faith in which women are worthless, ignorant, oppressed, devoid of character, deprived of all rights and forced to submit to their husbands without question. Yet none of these slanders appear anywhere in the Qur’an.</div>

Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce with no good reason will be deprived of even smelling the scent of paradise. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Reported by Tirmidhi, 2/329, abwab al-talaq, 11; Ibn Hibban, 9/490, Kitab al-nikah, bab ma'ashirah al-zawjayn)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, the Qur’an explicitly describes the conditions and rules that apply for spouses to divorce one another (This will be discussed in detail in due course). God recognizes the right to divorce of both sides. Yet there are no statements regarding a woman who divorces her husband being unable to enter Paradise as in the above false hadith. This is manifest proof that the hadith is entirely fabricated. There can be no question of our Prophet (pbuh) making unlawful something that God has made lawful and bringing in a commandment that is the exact opposite of what God commands. Therefore, in the event that a woman wishes to divorce, God bestows that freedom on her in the Qur’an. The conditions for divorce are revealed in verses that contain countless precautions intended to protect the woman, materially and psychologically, both before and after divorce. Therefore, the statement that a woman who asks her husband for a divorce <strong>“will be deprived of even smelling the scent of paradise” </strong>is totally false and defamatory. It is the product of a devilish logic that has nothing to do with Islam.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is highly important to note that Islam consists of Divine pronouncements, the word of God, that fully address human nature and the human mind and soul. All the verses in the Qur’an contain pronouncements that lift difficulties from people, prevent oppressive practices, ensure that a person’s free will and mind are involved and are in complete agreement with human nature. None of these pronouncements impose any difficulties on men or women. On the contrary, they resolve disagreements, injustices and inequalities among people. They lift the heavy chains from them. They ease people’s souls. They establish bonds of love and friendship, rather than enmity and hatred. Most important of all, they permit the emergence of a noble and virtuous human model bound to God in complete submission to Him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Yet the model of marriage that appears in the false hadiths in question reflects a conception far outside the moral values of the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an, there can be no compulsion or coercion between married couples. If a disagreement arises, it is to be corrected through the commandments of the Qur’an. The most important thing is for both parties to the marriage to abide completely by the moral values of the Qur’an and to strive to resolve their differences as much as possible. If incompatibility should persist, however, then both sides have the right to divorce.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is also revealed in a verse that in the event of divorce both sides will be under the protection of God:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
If a couple do separate, God will enrich each of them from His boundless wealth. God is All-Encompassing, All-Wise. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 4:130)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As we have seen, in the Qur’an, after a man and a woman decide to divorce of their own free will they continue to live freely. There is not a single verse in the Qur’an to suggest that a woman cannot enter paradise if she divorces her husband.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 22.1136px;">The references in the above </span><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 22.1136px;">fabricated </span><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 22.1136px;">hadiths to women </span><strong style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 22.1136px;">“... failing to please their husbands or not observing their rights”</strong><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 22.1136px;"> are again in blatant opposition to the verses of the Qur’an. If a Muslim woman behaves toward her husband in a manner that is not compatible with the moral values of the Qur’an, then she loses God’s approval, not that of her husband; what truly matters for a Muslim is the loss of God’s approval. For that reason, the important thing for a Muslim is not the approval of his or her spouse, but that of God. So according to the Qur’an, once a Muslim woman has made good her error and earned the approval of God, it is of no importance to her whether her husband or anyone else approves of her. Indeed, if the other person has a Muslim nature, he will naturally be pleased with this state of affairs as that will be pleasing to God.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
However, the general perspective of these false hadiths is strikingly reminiscent of marriages from the Time of Ignorance, based entirely on polytheism, rather than on God and the commandments of the Qur’an. As we have already said, a married man and woman in the Qur’an are select people who fear God, and who possess noble and superior moral values. That is what marriage is based on in the Qur’an. So long as they remain married, their feelings of love, affection, respect, compassion and loyalty to one another grow stronger all the time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
God reveals in the Qur’an that love, compassion, modesty and tranquility must all be present together in marriage:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Among His signs is that He created spouses for you of your own kind so that you might find tranquility in them. And He has placed affection and compassion between you. There are certainly signs in that for people who reflect. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 30:21)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There are thus enormous differences between the model of marriage set out in the false hadiths with its conflicts, intense disputes, belittlement and humiliating actions, and the model of marriage in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It must not be forgotten that in Islam, goodness is shown, not for the hope of reward from other people, but for the approval of God, and Muslims hope for a recompense for their good deeds from God alone. God reveals that morality as follows in a verse:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
those who give their wealth to purify themselves – not to repay someone else for a favor done – desiring only the Face of their Lord Most High. They will certainly be satisfied. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 92:18-21)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, according to the Qur’an, a woman will try to please only God and give thanks to Him and will desire His approval. Her only Lord is our Almighty Lord, not her husband. A mentality that tells women to engage in all sorts of horrible actions in order to repay her husband therefore stands in total opposition to the Qur’an.</div>

Women Being Unable to Go out, and the Idea They Are Prone to Deception by Satan</h3>

A woman is ‘Awrah (i.e. should not be exposed); and whenever she goes outdoors, satan receives her. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban and Sunan Abu Dawud)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Woman is the mainstay, the beauty and fineness of society. It is a great blessing for a society to have women in it, for them to have the right to speak out and be in charge, to be involved in decision-making mechanisms and to have their opinions sought. Woman has been specially created by God to be able to perform detailed analysis, make complex decisions, think of all precautions beforehand and to be highly considerate and intelligent. That is why the value attached to women in Islam is so high. Once that is fully understood, Islam will be properly comprehended across the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is for these reasons that internal and external forces have striven for hundreds of years to cause damage within Islam, especially on the subject of women. Using fabricated hadiths and superstitious practices, as well as various customs and traditions referred to as “rules” that actually have no place in Islam as a shield, they have tried to give the impression that a woman is a second class, despised, repulsive and dangerous entity prone to leading people into sin.</div>

In the above false hadith, for instance, a woman is described as being predisposed to immorality, unable to control herself, weak-willed, unreliable in faith and prone to devilish promptings. That is the reason for all the talk of women being allowed out as little as possible, being kept under supervision and having a strong tendency to immorality in the event that they do go out, thus giving the idea that their every action needs to be monitored.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Yet it is perfectly clear that these fabricated words were never spoken by our Prophet (pbuh). It is the fanatics, with their deep enmity towards women, who spout fatuous falsehoods and ascribe them to our Prophet (pbuh), who in point of fact entrusted his life to women in battle, set aside space for women in assemblies and who felt a profound love and respect for them. In the time of our Prophet (pbuh), as we have already seen in detail, women took their place in battle, were present in all kinds of social environments, engaged in business and were among the leading preachers of the faith. The verses of the Qur’an contain not the slightest suggestion that women are too dangerous or inherently foolish to be allowed out of doors; on the contrary, in the Qur’an God reveals the psychopathic nature of the fanatic attitude to women and how that mentality engaged in fiendish activities in the time of our Prophet (pbuh):</div>

The verses in question provide an all too illuminating description of the terrifying nature of the fanatic attitude towards women and show how much this attitude is cursed by God. A mentality that was filled with rage and turned black when it learned that its child was a daughter and that went even further, committing infanticide by burying that child alive existed in the past, and they will have to give account in the hereafter for their actions as described in verses 8 and 9 of Surat at-Takwir.

Despising women, whom God says He has created in the finest form, and comparing them to dogs, asses and pigs, and describing them as a misfortune is totally incompatible with the moral values of the Qur'an. Muslim women are saintly people who are praised in the Qur'an, cited as role models, who are loved and respected and who are blessings.</div>

As we have seen, the fanatic mindset that overflows with enmity toward and hatred of women has never altered its misogynistic attitude toward them for hundreds of years. Since these people knew that the verses of the Qur’an did not support their wicked way of thinking, they instead sought to wreak harm through these fabricated hadiths: That is the main reason for the existence of these horrifying false hadiths about women in particular. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In another fabricated verse on the subject, the fanatics seek to train women by starving them almost to death and not letting them wear attractive clothes. According to that diseased mentality, if a woman is starved and only given old and shabby clothes to wear she will be less inclined to want to go outside. The false hadiths in question read:</div>
<div class="hadis" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Let women go hungry, but not enough to harm them, and with only few clothes, though do not go to extremes in that. That is because if women can eat their fill and dress well, there is nothing they like more than going out and walking around. But if they are relatively hungry and naked, there is nothing better for them than sitting at home. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">( Ibn al-Jawzi, Mawdu’at, II/282283; Suyuti, al-Laali, II/154 Ibn Arrak, Tenzihus Sharia, II/212213)</span></div>

Strengthen your control of women through (providing them with) insufficient clothing, for when a woman comes to have excessive dresses and ornaments, she tends to roam outside home. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Nahj al-Fasahah, p. 216)</span></div>

A man may have lost his teeth and become ugly while his wife happens to be young and very beautiful. It is possible that such a woman, who may have gone out to the market or to other places where she may have been invited, sees handsome men and upon her return home is reluctant to be responsive to her husband’s amorous advances. This is the result of the visit of a woman to markets and social gatherings to say the least. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Imam Sharani, al-Uhud al-Qubra)</span></div>

The description of women in the false hadiths in question is an abnormal creature, literally one of an animal that cannot control itself anywhere it goes, that tends to act in the light of its own instincts rather than out of faith in, and fear of, God and that therefore needs to be kept in check by various precautions. Such a description is exactly that the fanatics have of women. What concerns us is the perspective of the Qur’an, not that of the fanatic. The Muslim woman described in the Qur’an fears God. She therefore knows very well how she should dress in which environment, how to protect her chastity and honor, and how to behave in the shops, at the market and during celebrations. The Qur’an is all she needs to know. She has no need of a man to tell her in order to know that, nor to tell her what to wear or eat. It is God Who will decide, not a mortal man. Men are given no such authority or license anywhere in the Qur’an. Men are given no privileges or attributes to allow them to claim that they possess such rights anywhere in the Qur’an. <span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.7em;">Since God addresses female believers in the Qur’an in the same way that He does male believers, a woman will see and understand what our Lord says to her in the Qur’an and strive to act on it in the most perfect way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In order to act on the morality described in the Qur’an, all a woman needs is to fear God. Those people who maintain that piety can only be established by being imposed by a man are fanatics, who are quite literally prisoners of these terrible false hadiths.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In addition, God reveals in the Qur’an that Muslims, be they men or women, should eat and drink everything that is lawful - without overdoing it of course - come to the mosque in the finest clothes, wear jewels and be clean and well-groomed. There are no verses about a woman not going out of doors. On the contrary, it can clearly be seen from verses that the social responsibilities that God imposes on women require that they play an intensive role in social life. Those hadiths are therefore at complete variance with the Qur’an.</div>

The Apostle of God (pbuh) said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer…<span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;"> (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 2, Hadith 704)</span></div>

Evil omen is in three things: The horse, the woman and the house.<span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;"> (Sahih Bukhari, Book 52, Hadith 110)</span></div>

If there is any evil omen in anything, then it is in the woman, the horse and the house. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Sahih Bukhari, Book 52, Hadith 111; Sahih Muslim, Book 26, Hadith 5528)</span></div>

We need to consider these fabricated hadiths in the light of the above remarks. To belittle women, whom God says He has created in the finest form, by comparing them with dogs, donkeys and pigs, and to describe them as ”evil omen”, is incompatible with the values of the Qur’an. Muslim women are blessed people, praised and shown as role models, and loved and respected in the Qur’an, and are described as blessings throughout the Qur'an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In addition, the way that animals such as dogs and horses, which are very nice and also of much help to human beings, are described as creatures with evil omen annulling acts of worship is also a sign of the horrible manifestation of the rationale in question.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
What is more, there is no such concept as fortune or misfortune in Islam; these concepts are part of polytheism. It must not be forgotten that good and evil both come from God. Nothing created has any power of its own to be either fortune or misfortune for human beings. Believing in misfortune is simply a part of the polytheistic character, and God tells us it is really those people who have ill fortune:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
“... No indeed! Their ill fortune will be with God. But most of them did not know.” <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 7:31)</span></div>

Examples of the fanatic mindset that compares women to animals</h3>

The race of women consists of ten species, and the character of each (of these) corresponds and is related to the distinctive quality of one of the animals. One (species) resembles the pig, another the ape, another the dog, another the snake, another the mule, another the scorpion, another the mouse, another the pigeon, another the fox, and another the sheep. <span class="hadisno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(from Counsel for Kings by Imam Ghazali)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Here we need to ask; what kind of opinion of a woman could a man who believes in such nonsense possibly have? How can he love and respect his wife? How could such a person feel anything other than hatred for the person who should be the closest to him in this world? How could he attain the love that is so important in the Qur’an if he literally regards his own wife as an animal?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
He cannot, of course. Yet in the Qur’an, God speaks of the importance of love and compassion between spouses:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Among His signs is that He created spouses for you of your own kind so that you might find tranquility in them. And He has placed affection and compassion between you. There are certainly signs in that for people who reflect. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 30:21)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On that basis we can expand our discussion a little: Generally speaking, someone whose opinion of his wife is framed by such horrible details will doubtlessly think of his own mother, sister or daughter in the same way. His love and respect for them will be a reflection of the perspective in those false words, and his relationships with them will inevitably be based on contempt.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The description of women in the false hadiths obviously encourages hatred, rather than love. It is impossible to feel respect for the woman described in the false hadiths in question and not a word is said about love. This great emotion, which God describes as essential in the Qur’an, the love that is the whole purpose behind God’s creation of the universe, has literally been forgotten. What kind of faith is it that has so many enemies, and particularly women?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Such a faith is most definitely not the true faith in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In addition, one of the most important things in the Qur’an is to hold favorable opinions of others. It is a sin to jump to conclusions without evidence and witnesses. Therefore, in the view of the Qur’an, it is wrong to think of people as “perfidious, eager for fine clothes, predisposed to steal, cunning, proud and tricky” just because they are women. It is an outrageous lie, and a sin. In order to be able to say that someone is a cheat, we need to witness their trickery and dishonesty; in order to be able to accuse someone of theft, we need to prove that they have stolen someone else’s property. In the view of the Qur’an, it is slander to make such accusations, in the absence of any evidence or witness, solely on the grounds that a person is a woman. However, the fanatics are unaware of the commandments in the Qur’an and are therefore unable to see the perverse logic in the fabricated hadiths because they live by an entirely different and false faith.</div>

Verses addressing the wives of our Prophet (pbuh)</h2>

We now need to make one important point very clear; the Qur’an contains verses addressing the wives of our Prophet (pbuh). In order to prevent strife and possible misunderstandings, God kept the wives of our Prophet (pbuh) separate from other women in his time. As it is revealed in the Qur’an:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Wives of the Prophet! You are not like other women provided you have piety. Do not be too soft-spoken in your speech lest someone with sickness in his heart becomes desirous. Speak correct and courteous words. Remain in your houses and do not display your beauty as it was previously displayed in the Time of Ignorance. Perform the prayer and pay alms and obey God and His Messenger. God desires to remove all impurity from you, People of the House, and to purify you completely. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 33:32-33)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In these verses, the wives of our Prophet (pbuh) have separate responsibilities on the subjects of life style, speech, clothing and the like; people looking at these verses sometimes interpret them as being generally addressed to all Muslim women. Yet these verses are not addressed to all Muslim women, and the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) are specifically set apart from other women.</div>

<span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="line-height: 22.1136px;">Conclusion:</span></span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The main reason for our discussion of the fabricated hadiths concerning women in this chapter is to show the false belief widespread in some Islamic communities and what its true origin is. In this way, those who abide by these views in the name of Islam, and those who are opposed to Islam because of them will be able to see that this oppression of women has absolutely no place in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
However, some people try to find evidence in the Qur’an for the belittlement of women. That stems from the misinterpretation of various verses of the Qur’an, the misinterpretation of various personal annotations made in parentheses and from such misinterpretations being generally made in the light of the fabricated hadiths cited above. Yet when one looks at the Qur’an alone it is impossible to find any of the ideas that the fanatics come up with in the light of their own desires. In order to understand this better, we shall be looking at verses which they have for years sought to portray as supporting evidence for their enforced enclosure and beating of women and women being treated as second-class human beings. When one looks at these through the eyes of a Muslim who abides by the Qur’an, and not through the eyes of a fanatic, when the verses are interpreted according to their true meanings, when that false faith of the fanatics is excluded, then everyone will clearly see that the system that attaches the greatest value to women is the system found in the Qur’an.</div>

One of the issues that fanatics bring up most of all is that women should cover themselves up. The conception of religion and faith of certain people, who exhibit almost no sensitivity to a great many commandments of the faith, who fail to observe even its most fundamental requirements but who are scrupulous when it comes to abiding by the Sunnah - the hadiths in other words - generally takes the form of “the headscarf=religion.” However, does the headscarf, which some people literally regard as the sole symbol of the faith, appear in the Qur’an?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Many scholars say that they draw their remarks about the headscarf and covering up from the Qur’an, and point to various verses on the subject. The fact is, however, that the word “headscarf” appears in not one single verse. Therefore, we first need to see how the Qur’an is interpreted and what the accurate explanation is.</div>

<u><strong>Say to the believing women that they should lower their eyes and guard their chastity and not display their adornments – except for what normally shows – and draw their head-coverings across their breasts.</strong> </u>They should only display their adornments to their husbands or their fathers or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or other women or those they own as slaves or their male attendants who have no sexual desire or children who still have no awareness of women’s private parts. Nor should they stamp their feet so that their hidden ornaments are known. Turn to God every one of you, believers, so that hopefully you will have success. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur’an, 24:31)</span></div>

“Khimar” / Cover</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word “khumur” used as evidence for the headscarf covers a broad range of meaning, and is the plural form of the word “khimar,” meaning “covering,” and is derived from the root <strong>“khamara,” </strong>meaning <strong>“to cover.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Dictionaries generally translate the word “khimar” as meaning “cover,” suggesting “anything which covers something.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, the word translated as “head coverings” in the verse in fact means just a “cover”, and the word “head” appears nowhere at all in the verse.</div>
<h3 id="title24" style="background: url("../images/dashed.gif") center bottom repeat-x rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.846em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 1.692em 0px 1em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
“Yadribna” / To strike</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This verb in the verse is translated by those who wish to portray the headscarf as being commanded in the Qur’an as, “that they should draw, that they should release.” The reason for that is to be able use the words “and draw their head coverings across their breasts” in order to justify their preconception that the verse refers to a headscarf already existing on the head. The fact is, however, that the verb means no such thing, and is properly used as follows:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The verb “yadribna” is derived from the root “daraba.” Daraba means “to strike, to beat, to leave, to cover, to close.” The verse is referring to the covering of the chest region with a covering when it says “that they should cover (walyadribna) their breasts (juyubihinna) with their coverings (bikhumurihinna).”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In the Qur'an the verb “yudnina” is used when the meaning purported is “that they should lengthen, release, or let down.” This verb however appears in no part of this verse.</div>
<h3 id="title25" style="background: url("../images/dashed.gif") center bottom repeat-x rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.846em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 1.692em 0px 1em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
“Juyub” / Collar opening</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word “juyub” is the plural form of the word “jayb,” which means “pocket” (it is used in the explanations such as “to open a pocket in a shirt”, “to put into a pocket” or “to remove from pocket”)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is also used to mean the breast, bosom, heart, pocket, purse, opening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word “juyub” appears three times in the Qur’an. ”Juyub” is used in verse 31 of Surat an-Nur, while the singular form of the word, “jayb,” appears in two places in the story of the Prophet Moses (pbuh). It is used as follows in those two verses:</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">

<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Put your hand <u>into your bosom (fee jaybika)</u>. It will emerge pure white ... <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 28:32)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word “juyub” in these two verses is used to mean the “<strong>bosom</strong>” of the Prophet Moses (pbuh). Looking at all these facts together, it is clear that when used together with the word <strong>“khimar,” </strong>the word <strong>“juyub” </strong>means to cover up the bosom. The verse contains no reference to “covering up the head.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, the true meaning of the passage generally interpreted to mean, “...<strong>that they should draw their head-coverings across their breasts</strong><strong>,” </strong>is in fact, “<strong><u>that they should cover their breasts with their coverings.”</u> </strong>The commandment in the verse refers to the covering of the breasts, not the head.</div>

In order to be able to produce a commandment referring to the “headscarf” from verse 31 of Surat an-Nur, various misleading interpretations have sometimes been employed by commentators while translating the verse. The aim behind that is to be able to adapt the verse in the light of fabricated hadiths that we will be analyzing soon (surely the verse is beyond that). The main misleading interpretation in question was brought about by the mistranslation of “… that they should draw their head coverings…”</div>

As we have seen from examining the Arabic, sthis passage, interpreted to mean, <strong>“… that they should draw their head-coverings across their breasts,” </strong>contains a reference neither to a ”head-covering” nor “drawing down.” Nonetheless, some people desirous of interpreting the verse along those lines fall into serious contradictions and errors in terms of meaning because their interpretations conflict with the Qur’an. Many of them make surprising comments along the lines of “They drew the headscarves they were already wearing on their heads across their breasts,” maintaining that the women already had a covering on their heads. In order for Muslim women of the time to “already have a covering on their heads,” there would have to be a commandment to that effect in the Qur’an: Yet nowhere in the Qur’an does it say anything about the headscarf. It is therefore impossible for the women of the time to have had scarves on their heads as a religious commandment. The idea of the “scarf already on their heads” is therefore a serious logical flaw.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
1. In order to back up the idea of “a scarf already worn on the head,” some commentators suggest that the reference to the “jilbab,” that is burqa, in verse 59 of Surat al-Ahzab was revealed before verse 31 of Surat an-Nur, and that Muslim women therefore already wore scarves on their heads. As we shall be seeing in detail, the jilbab is a piece of cloth that covers the entire body, from head to foot; its purpose is essentially to cover the entire body. If we remember that verse 31 of Surat an-Nur commands women to cover up their breasts, we can see that there is no possibility of the chest of a woman wearing the jilbab being uncovered in any way, so the verse is <strong>not </strong>addressing women who cover their entire head and body. The people making that claim seem to have forgotten this very important and fundamental point.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
2. Women in Arab societies of the time moved around unclothed and that is why the verse was sent down. Following that verse, Muslim women began covering their previously exposed chests. Let us recall that the word “juyub” in the verse means bosom, and that the true sense of the passage in question is <strong>“that they should cover their breasts with their coverings.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
3. According to some commentators who insist on the idea of a “pre-existing head covering,” the women in question have “already” covered their heads with scarves, yet, according to their way of thinking, their chests are somehow completely uncovered! According to this peculiar way of thinking, women managed to think of covering their heads, but not of covering their breasts (surely Muslims are beyond that). They were supposedly scrupulous when it came to covering their heads, but walked around naked. That is the inevitable conclusion from these commentators’ idea of “the pre-existing headscarf.” With this interpretation, these people are maintaining that women “with their chests exposed but their heads covered up” are being advised to pull those head coverings down to cover up their chests. This terrible flaw of logic is the result of trying to include the idea of the headscarf in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
4. According to this strange idea, “the pre-existing headscarf” must be so long that it can be pulled down in such a way as to completely cover the chest from both sides. Therefore, each one of the women who were apparently wandering around topless at the time must “already” have been wearing the headscarf, which was as long as a full body covering. The misinterpretation of the verse along the lines of “that they should draw their head coverings” has thus led the proponents of this idea into a logical fallacy. That is the consequence of trying to impute another meaning onto this explicitly clear verse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Explanations of false hadiths fabricated in order to add the headscarf to this verse result in even worse logical distortions. This will be described in later sections.</div>

What needs to be known about the meanings of the Arabic versions of verses and accuracy of interpretations</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Care needs to be taken over various elements if an Arabic text is to be properly understood, or accurately translated into other languages:</div>
<h3 id="title29" style="background: url("../images/dashed.gif") center bottom repeat-x rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.846em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 1.692em 0px 1em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
1-Care over the use of words in Arabic</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
One subject requiring attention if the criteria involving women covering their body parts is to be properly understood is how the word “cover” is used in Arabic.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word “cover” is generally used in Arabic together with an emphasis on the object to be covered up. For example, when the word table is used alongside the word to cover, the result is a tablecloth. In the same way, the use of the word <strong>"to cover" ("khimar") </strong>alongside the word <strong>"head" ("ra’as") </strong>gives the word <strong>“khimaru-ra’as” </strong>meaning<strong> “</strong><strong>head covering.” </strong>If the Qur'an commanded women to cover their heads, one of the expressions that need to be used would have to be “<strong>khimaru-ra’as.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In verse 6 of Surat al-Ma’ida, which is about ritual purification before prayer, the word head is expressed with the word “ra’s.”</div>
<div class="ayet" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 1.615em 30px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
You who believe! When you get up to perform your prayer, wash your faces and your hands and your arms to the elbows, and <u>wipe over your heads</u>, and your feet to the ankles. <span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;">(Qur'an, 5:6)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Arabic transliteration: </strong>ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo itha qumtum ila alssalati faighsiloo wujoohakum waaydiyakum ila almarafiqi waimsahoo <strong>biruoosikum </strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is clear that had God commanded women to cover their heads, that command would have been set out explicitly and unequivocally in the Qur’an. However, examination of the verses regarding women’s clothing contains no such emphasis regarding the head.</div>
<h3 id="title30" style="background: url("../images/dashed.gif") center bottom repeat-x rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.846em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 1.692em 0px 1em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
2-Examination of words in the Qur’an through other verses</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In examining the Qur’an, one needs to look at how a particular word is used with other words in the verse and in other verses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The word used alongside the word <strong>“khimar” (“cover”) </strong>in verse 31 of Surat an-Nur and which emphasizes the subject is <strong>“juyub.”</strong> <strong>As we have seen above, this word is used to refer to the bosom region in all the other verses in which it appears</strong>. The area that needs to be covered up is therefore the bosom.</div>
<h3 id="title31" style="background: url("../images/dashed.gif") center bottom repeat-x rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.846em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 1.692em 0px 1em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
3-Care being taken over ascribing meaning to Arabic words in parenthesis</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Arabic has a much larger vocabulary than many other languages, and it is exceedingly rich in terms of meanings: Much can be said with few words, and a word can have very different uses, and therefore meanings. Therefore, many interpretations are added in parenthesis even though the meaning of the verse is quite clear; additions are made and meanings are shaped according to the individual interpretations of the translator.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Let us recall here that since some of the people who translate the Qur’an have traditional conceptions of Islam or since these people’s translations are generally highly esteemed, individual interpretations emerging in translations of verses are generally traditional and shaped in the light of fabricated hadiths. Such translators who add remarks in parenthesis have a tendency, conscious or otherwise, to alter the meaning of verses in line with that of such false hadiths.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
When we look at the translations of verse 31 of Surat an-Nur, we see that although the word “head-covering” appears nowhere in it, the word is used by commentators either directly in the text or else in parenthesis. Although the word “head” or “ra’as” does not appear in the verse, and the word “bosom” is used in combination with the word “cover,” meaning that the area to be covered up is clearly the bosom, the word “khimar,” meaning “any covering,” is translated as “head-covering.” The instruction in the verse is thus altered; this altered meaning has been made widespread and become the traditional interpretation, and the conclusion is thus drawn that women need to cover their heads.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
When this interpretation that was added only later by commentators is done away with, however, it is clear that the verse is explicitly referring to the covering up of the bosom. Anyone reading the verse will encounter that meaning alone.</div>
<table align="center" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; text-align: justify; width: 100px;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;"><img alt="Kuranda başörtüsü" height="580" src="http://www.harunyahya.com/image/karanlik_tehlike_bagnazlik/239-tercume-dikkat.jpg" style="border: 0px;" width="787" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="yazi" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: center; text-shadow: rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 1px 1px; vertical-align: top;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px;">
Some people who translate the Qur'an from a traditional conception of Islam tend to produce changes in meaning, either through the use of parentheses or directly in the text itself. Although verse 31 of Surat an-Nur says nothing about a head-covering, these people have not hesitated to refer to the headscarf either in parenthesis or directly in the text. Yet once this interpretation is done away with, the verse clearly refers to covering up the chest.</div>

Surat an-Nur verse 31, 2nd part</h2>
<div class="bg_desen1 aa1 ayet" style="background: url("../images/bg_desen1.gif") left top repeat rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 15px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 213, 183); box-shadow: rgb(219, 213, 183) 3px 3px 3px; display: table; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.008px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.1136px; margin: 5px 10px 10px; padding: 10px 30px; text-align: justify; text-shadow: rgb(215, 200, 160) 1px 1px 1px;">
Say to the believing women that they should lower their eyes and guard their chastity and not display their adornments – except for what normally shows – and draw their head-coverings across their breasts. <u>They should only display their adornments to their husbands or their fathers or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or other women or those they own as slaves or their male attendants who have no sexual desire or children who still have no awareness of women’s private parts. Nor should they stamp their feet so that their hidden ornaments are known. Turn to God every one of you, believers, so that hopefully you will have success.</u><span class="ayetno" style="font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none; white-space: nowrap;"> .

Misinterpretations regarding “women’s adornments”</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Another subject that God draws our attention in verse 31 of Surat an-Nur is women’s “adornments.” The passage in the verse that reads, <strong>”... so that their hidden ornaments are known”</strong> means that they should not display their breasts, and is not a reference to their heads.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
However, this is reflected very differently in some hadiths and in some commentaries on the Qur’an through additions in parentheses or the distortion of the meanings of words. Let us have a look at these:</div>

The idea that women are instruments of trial</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The true meaning of the first part of the word “zeenatahunna” in this verse is “adornment or ornament,” and the suffix “hunna” indicates that this is being addressed to women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In their own opinions, some scholars say, “Women’s bodies are decorative and attractive, for which reason the verse is referring to their entire bodies.” From that starting point they claim that women should cover all their bodies up; in truth, the verse is actually saying no such thing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Some people come up with a very different interpretation to what the Qur’an is saying and say, “This refers to the parts of the body where beads and decorations are displayed, for which reason it is unlawful to look at the regions where these are displayed.” Others go even further and say, “It is unlawful to look at a woman’s cut hair or nail clippings.” They then go on to produce very odd ideas such as, “Looking at just one part usually leads to looking at the whole.” <span class="hadisno" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 5px; text-shadow: none;">(Ibn Hajar, al-Zawajir)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Even though the verse is perfectly explicit, countless very different and odd interpretations have been produced from the term ”... so that their hidden ornaments are known.” These interpretations vary according to people’s way of thinking, and sometimes depending on their perspective toward women. Mindsets that seek to shut women away, pacify them, make them ugly and keep them away from society and humanity, to make them second-class citizens and – may God forbid - turn them into entities that live only to serve men and not God, have tended to want to eliminate women entirely by means of the single word “ornament.” Through these false interpretations of verses of the Qur’an, many people have departed from the essence of the faith and have regarded the Qur’an as an incomprehensible book, and when these additions have been taken together with fabricated hadiths, the result has become an interpretation of faith very different to that seen in the Qur’an.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
However, the term “hidden ornaments” in the verse is very clear, and refers to two areas that are kept hidden, the sexual organs and the breasts.</div>

The error of making adornments and accessories unlawful</h3>
<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; text-align: justify; width: 100px;"><tbody>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Some people maintain that the “ornaments” in the verse are things like “beads, jewels and other accessories.” This is significant in grasping the error and oddity of various interpretations based on false hadiths. According to this astonishing claim, a man’s instincts are so primitive that the sight of a single bead is enough to drive him out of control. So according to that mindset, beads should be banned at once in order to keep “men,” supposedly barbaric entities, reined in!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #121419; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 22.1136px; margin-bottom: 1.462em; margin-top: 1.462em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This frightening way of thinking in point of fact is very revealing regarding the fanatics’ view of the Muslim male. Yet a Muslim man is an entity that fears God and the reason he will refrain from unlawful actions is not because some things have been banned, but because they will be unpleasing to God. A Muslim man is not a being who will lose all control when he sees an uncovered woman or a handful of beads, or who lives in the light of animal instincts; to claim that he is represents a worst slander of a Muslim male.</div>
