allah is with me
Rabana Wa laqal Hamd
salamualaikum ........
well, very before an atheist mailed me on youtube talking a bout islam, and this argument kept on going, and yesterday he asked me about women...
saying why did not allah make equality among man and women, so i said allah had made everything equal...
then he sent me this ...
'read otherwrite. here is what i have found in islam.. these are pasted detials of hadiths/quranic verses.
Testimony or bearing witness. The Quraan states that the testimony of one man is equivalent to the testimony of two women.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her
[al-Baqarah 2:282]
---------------
A woman inherits half of what a man inherits.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Allaah commands you as regards your childrens (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females
[al-Nisa 4:11]
-----------
here are other differences.. EQUAL?
· A man can marry four women, but a woman can only have one husband.
· A man has the right to issue a divorce and it is valid if he does so, but a woman does not have the right to issue a divorce.
· A man may marry a woman from among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), but a Muslim woman may not marry anyone but a Muslim.
· A man may travel without his wife or any of his mahrams, but a woman may not travel unless she is accompanied by a mahram.
· Prayer in the mosque is obligatory for men, but not for women; a womans prayer in her house is more beloved to Allaah.
· A woman may wear silk and gold, but a man must not wear them.
now understand me when i say I THINK YOU DESERVE MORE. if i made rules i would tell you that you should have more then men should do worth more can do more etc.. irrelevant to how precious women are in my beliefs, you say "equal" both men and woman have someone not of equal status.. but women are put down more. if you disagree.. please give me proof for every single one of the above.
enjoy ya ramadan. take care and
peace'
