What does being muslim women mean to you ?
Posted by: KING-slave of ALLAH ! on: November 12, 2009
Have you ever looked on the internet for articles on Muslim women and everything that you saw was negative?
* Honor killings
* Oppression of women
* Beheadings of women
* Hijab is oppressive
* Muslimahs are docile
* Women have no voice in Islam
* Looking beyond the veil
Why is it that society only sees negativity when it comes to Muslimahs? Why are we not seen as contributors to society? Why are there so few Muslim women who speak out about REAL issues in Islam? Why is it that there is a negative connotation anytime you mention a Muslim woman???
Today I found in a website statement of a womens who left Islam says,
Ms Wafa Sultan says, “Now in America, I enjoy freedom. I can now talk with a male member of my next door neighbour without being convicted of committing adultery.”
She is the one who is involve in Insulting Islam today time ..
Why asking WAFA SULTAN,BBC etc etc Ask Real Muslim Women !
I know You will not do,so i will do this for you !
Dear Sisters In Islam,
Till today they speaked !

Hello everyone!
I just want to share my own personal experience to give as an example how knowing about my religion and following the words of Allah made my life more meaningful and worth of living.
I live ina country where the laws are not made by Shariya and most of hte girls don’t weare a headscarf, first I was the only one wearing hedjab in my school later we became three. I know very well how most of the non-muslims argue about Islam and say that it is taking away the rights from women and their freedom.
I would argue the opposite since the day I started wearing a headscarf I gained freedom, because peole around trusted me more then before, they saw how mature I became.
Since the day I started reading Karan, I started to look at life with different eyes, and every single work that I do God has helped me. Now, both in my studies and in my family everything has a meaning, there is no depression or a thought “Why did we come to this life? To live, eat, and die..?” NO, now i found the answers to my question, I have no doubts and I am GLAD and everyday of my LIFE is another present given by God.
I love him and he loves us too. SOme sasy then why do people run into problems, yes even Muslims have problems ALL people have problems, but God brought us to this world to suffer and learn from our mistakes and prove that we are true Muslims, only then there is an ETERNAL after life where we will be rewarded for the suffers.
So evey time there is a problem in our life, we should be happy that God is checking us and use all our strength to go through those hardships..
I am THankful and would be very glad if those blind people who can not identify between REAL FREDOM and some imaginary freedom of showing off yourself, would some day find the right path.
And to ALL my MUSLIM siters- EID MUBARAK and let’s pray to God to keep us in his safe and right path.
Let Allah bless ALL of US
I am PROUD to be MUslima and THANKFULL that God showed me the right path.

Islam elevated the status of women 1400 years ago by giving them the right to divorce, the right to have financial independence and support, and the right to be identified as dignified women (Hijab) when in the rest of the world, including Europe, women had no such rights. Women are equal to men in all acts of piety (Quran 33:32). Islam allows women to keep their maiden name after marriage, their earned money, and spend it as they wish, and ask men to be their protector. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) told Muslim men, “the best among you is the one who is best to his family.” Not Islam, but some Muslim men, do oppress women today. This is because of non-Islamic cultural habits or their ignorance towards their religion.
I m proud of being a muslim woman. we r the most beautiful woman in the world in our hijab and our attitude. alhamdulilah.

The words of the Holy Qur’ân in this respect are: “Do not approach (the bounds of) adultery” (17:32). Heavy punishment has been prescribed for this crime, and the order has not been qualified by any conditions. Since the violation of chastity of a woman is forbidden in Islam, a Muslim who perpetrates this crime cannot escape punishment..
a rapist should be stonned to death, NOT the raped one regardless of gender

Mr King-slave
It’s suffice to say that the permission to have unlimited sex are there in the Quran.
Read about the “right hand possessed” or Maa malakat aymaanukum.
It means that apart from the 4 legal wives, Islam permits unlimited sex with female captive of wars.
This religion cannot be true.
Humanity is but one family.

salam to all
I was a born muslium although not raised as one, but did belive in allah (just didnt know the laws) . then at the age of 18 i felt something missing, heart empty. Guys did check me out, did not pray (didnt know how), hurting my parents and wondering what was the purpose of life. Alhamdula allah guided me to find knowledge.
I belive islam is greatest thing for the women. When im covered im not disgusted by men because they are not checking me out (i feel respected). i have the best relastionship with my parents and best of all my heart is satisfield.
But im angry at the world learders they have destroyed islam law in the arab countries (we now have bad arab governments put there by the USA). Now the law doesnt protect the women yet its against them and loves the chance to punish them (AND WORSE THEY STAND BEHIND RELGION AND SAY ITS FROM ISLAM) and there is a saying from the kufir “Give me a good mother i will give you a good nation”
INSHALLAH MAY ALLAH GIVES US A ISLAMIC STATE!!!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
I am a revert sis from Romania and I am 20 yo…and the happiest day of my life was not when I got married to my wonderful husband, but the day I reverted to islam.It was something that i;ve never felt before, it cannot be explained.It took me such a little time to do this step because islam has a beauty that catches the heart of the people who seek the truth.To all those who are anti-islam, I want to tell them they are ignorant and narrow minded and this is a consequence of the so praised society the live in, where stupidity,indecence, lack of morals and judgement is prevailing and where people are more like beasts, well I got tired of it and itls falsity cause itls nothing but a lousy illusion..and me being a human gifted with brain I choose Islam as my way of life.In my world i dontl need to look like a doll whenever I go out or to be pushed away because i am not 45 kg and 1.80 tall, in my islamic world i am appreciated for my neurons not for my legs and breasts and I get the chance to raise my children properly without having to tire myself working for a living+ beign a good mother+ beng a good wife…well u western women all u do is work and when u coem home u look ugly and tired , ur kids become drug addicts and pimps and ur girls become prostitutes, now that is a very inferior society in my eyes. .Hijab and Niqab are making woman nobler and protect them in this jungle were people hunt people for sexual desires.MAy Allah guide all of us continuously so we will not step on wrong paths.Amin

MAY you Aisha be more sensible in your choice of words. Cursing the western women or to sum it up the dirty “kafir” women, that includes their son and daughter is the greatest thing that Islam taught you, I think. Well, my mother is a working non muslim, my sisters and I was brought up well. And I’m not a drug addict and my sisters are not prostitutes. May god bless ur childrens to be a morally upright humans with a higher conscience and wiser than their mother. Live and let live.

I would like to say this to women like Wafa XXX and more that Islam not only gives freedom to women in Islam, it also shows how to strongly hold onto her freedom and gives the power to speak out in 100s with firmness in her voice and her eyes enlightened with the dazzling stars of Imaan (Faith).

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmathullah hi wa barkatuhu,
DEAR SISTER, It is only natural to feel hurt and pain. It is also very difficult for woman to accept this today especially as women are brought up in a westernized or cultural environment, not prepared for a polygamous situation considering this; it is possible that you probably have lost your self confidence and self esteem. You probably may be asking the question? Why me? What is wrong with me? I bore him children? Why now? Thus plunging you into greater depression. IF your husband has already married let us approach the situation accordingly on a positive note. 1. What can you do? How do you remove this depresion? Start by acceptance. Don’t fight the situation emotionally. Acceptance does not mean that you lose your womanhood, neither your rights, neither your beauty, neither your intelligence and neither your good qualities. 2. In fact generally through observation one sees the importance the husband places with the 1st wife because she has been a pillar of strength from youth through difficulties and success, and further she is the mother of his children. Hence you hold a very special place in his heart. 3. A common mistake women in polygamous marriages make, they start to compare and compete with the other women wondering what the short falls are, rather take the extra time that you now have to spend on yourself. When last did you have time for yourself besides sacrificing your time between husband, home, children and other possible work or chores. Often women tend to neglect themselves. 4. Start by looking at yourself in the mirror.Appreciate all the positive qualities Allah Ta’ala bestowed upon you. Look at possible areas of neglect on clothing/ doing yourself up especially at home. Bring in some exercises, an excellent manner of stimulating bllod flow and chemicals in the body and brain which alleviates depression. 5. Create a mood of happiness and peace in your home. Avoid allowing your sadness and depression from over -riding you which may lead you to expressing anger and frustration on the children. Some possible suggestions of creating a pleasant atmosphere are: Put on some Islamic Nazms (Arabic/ Urdu, English) Aeromatheraphty candles/ scents Smile at your husband, Bring in the essence of love into the life, show love to your children, your husband and adopt an approach of pleasantness, Also remember to dress beautifully for your husband. All this with the intention for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala. Let this approach become an ibaadat, then you will feel a sence of contentment. Make positive dua, that Allah Ta’ala increase the love between you and your husband. Don’t curse the other woman neither make bad dua. Insha Allah you will rewarded in this world and the next for your patience and positive efforts. May Allah Ta’ala make it easy and give you happiness in your life and remove your depression.
Islam did not introduce polygyny but permitted it remedied the ills and abuses around it. The Hindus, Babylonians, Persians, Athenians, Jews and pre-Islamic Arabs recognized no limit to the number of wives a man could marry. Islam limited and restricted it in number; and hedged it with severe restrictions. Nowhere in the Shariah is polygyny condemned or discouraged but neither is it an essential commandment enjoining men to take multiple wives. Coupled with this permission is the emphatic command of justice and equality, financially and physically (i.e. spending equal amount of time with each spouse), if one intends taking another wife. The attitude of husband towards all his wives must be such as to give no occasion to heartburning, jealousy, dissatisfaction, discontent and frustration to any of them. There should be no cruelty, injustice, bias or partiality on the part of the husband. It is expected and seen that complete peace, harmony and tranquillity prevails in the household where the husband faithfully observes the injunctions of Islam regarding the equal status of all the wives in matters of maintenance, and general treatment. Each wife is entitled to have the opportunity of feeling the security of their man and sharing the bonds of love with him as well as enjoying his companionship
If the husband cannot exercise this equality he is not allowed to marry more than one. Regarding this restriction of number and equal treatment, the Qur’an ordains:
“Marry such as you please, of other women, by twos, threes and fours; but if you apprehend that you shall not be able to deal justly with them, then marry one only.” (Qur’an, 4:3)
However, since love and emotions are beyond ones control, a man will be excused if he loves one spouse more than another. It is most irrational to demand a person to have equal love for two people. A person has friends but he has his “best friend’, a mother with many kids has “the apple of her eye” and the father has his “blue eyed boy”.
Is polygamy really against the natural law?
The facts and findings answer this question in negative.
“‘Man’, says G.R. Scott, ‘is essentially polygamous and the development of civilization extends this innate polygamy.’ “(History of prostitution, p. 21; as quoted in ‘Polygamy in Islam’ published by Islami Mission, Lahore and Polygamy? p 17)
Dr. Mercier says: “Woman is by nature monogamist; man has in him the element of polygamist.” (Conduct and its Disorders Biologically Considered, p. 292-3; as quoted in ‘Polygamy In Islam’)
Professor Russel, an American scholar, said in a conference, held at the University of California, convened to discuss the Family Rights:
“Marriage to one wife and being tied down to only one wife for the whole span of life is unnatural and unreasonable.” Then, in the course of a long discussion, he summarized his theory by sayings that “man ought to accept the law of more than one wife as an important factor in the struggle for the survival.” (Ittilaat, Tehran, No. 3104).
It is an undeniable fact that in most human societies, females outnumber males. In the U.S.A there are at least eight million more women than men. In a country like Guinea there are at least 122 females for every 100 males. In Tanzania there are 95.1 males per 100 females. What would such societies do towards such unbalanced ratios?
A survey over six thousand women, ranging in age from 15-59, conducted in the second largest city in Nigeria showed that sixty percent of these women would be pleased if their husbands took another wife. Seventy-six percent of the women in a survey conducted in Kenya, viewed polygamy positively. In a survey taken in rural Kenya, twenty-five out of twenty-seven women considered polygamy to be better than monogamy. (Women in Islam P 40 with reference to Phillip L. Kilbride, Plural Marriage for Our Times)
So if these countries boast the “one man one wife” system, the question that begs to be answered is what happens to these millions of unmarried women?
Should they kill the instincts and lead unnatural lives? Should they marry men who are already married or should they allow themselves to become public property or opt for a life of loneliness, insecurity and vulnerability?
What is more dignifying to a woman, an accepted and respected second wife or a virtual prostitute?
Advice to a Woman who’s Husband Seeks a Second Marriage.
A husband intending a second marriage could be very challenging for a woman. It could have disastrous consequences however, it is left up to an individual what she wants to make out of it. Allah Ta’ala does not burden his slaves with that which they cannot bear. Depending on the way she response to her husband’s intentions of a second marriage so will the outcome be. If she response positively the husbands second marriage could prove to be for fruitful for her too. We all know the busy and hectic lives women lead. From caring for the husbands needs to the kids, doing the household chores and her personal needs. A co-wife could prove to help and assist in her having more time for herself and her kids. Also at times the husband could be very demanding. After a long days work (of a woman) for a woman to still give full attention to a demanding husband could also be very difficult causing much frustration. With a co-wife they could equally share the burden.
Below are few ways in which a woman could respond to her husband’s intentions:
She becomes very angry, upset and is besides herself with rage, to the point of acting violently against others and herself. She threatens to leave him and abuses the custody of kids. In short she just crates a host of complex problems.
She is all the above but does not leave him. Instead, she puts up a fierce resistance turning her home and everybody’s lives into a living hell.
She accepts the situation grudgingly. She may not display her anger but rather gives the impression that all is well. This store anger then drives her to act maliciously by placing various obstacles in the husband’s life.
She is naturally upset, but takes it positively turning to Allah Ta’ala, asking His assistance. She also encourages her husband and co-operates with her co-wife. Shaytan will most definitely bombard her with evil thoughts and feelings sinking her into depression. However, by being patient and turning to Allah Ta’ala, He will most definitely help her.
A golden rule to remember: The hurt will not leave if she resorts to unreasonable behaviour, but will prolong her anguish if not increase it. To overcome the hurt, she will have to place herself in the ward where this takes place; the ward of the patient.

Assalam Alaykum,
My Dear Sister In Islam,
Let me answer ur queries….
Prophet(pbuh) said ”Know that no charity that you give whether small or large, for the sake of Allah, but you will be rewarded for it, even the bite (of food) that you put in your wife’s mouth.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
What a beautiful hadith….
What more Mercy a Muslim Female can get….from ALLAH…..?
***********
Is not females talked directly with prophet (pbuh)…?
talking to man is not SIN,but it leads to SIN ACTS.open the doors of evil ACTS…
so Female are guided to talk in limit and on topic…nothing else…
Prophet(pbuh) said “when a male & female meets,third one is Shaitan”.
He will try his best of best to lead you to Sins…
weather using Personal Emotion or pain…what Ever….that why its said to stay far …
***********
If he cheats you,he will be punished sister…
Who said a cheater will go heaven sister….?
Allah says in Quran at [17:15]
“Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss.”
Dear Sister,
If Person is not fullfilling his duties and cheating,Its Person fault….not ISLAM.
and he will pay for that…..
i will post more links…which will give u answers in proper way!
I hope this answer ur query !
May Allah remove ur pains,and give what is best for you!
Ameen!
[May Allah forgive me if i'm wrong at any place,Ameen!]

Sister Hadia salamu’llah alayk
Your remarks as your questions are from the same source, a source called revolt and misunderstanding.
Revolt because you make the finding of the drift of many men, and your dismay at the drift
and your misunderstanding is obvious
I can only suggest you carefully read the holy Quraan and I can guarantee you will find the best answers to your questions
but if you do not read the Quraan as a woman, you should read it as a creature among the creatures of Allah swt
but a unique creature that Allah has created to accompany man ignorant transgressor who volunteered to take responsibility for what the mountains have refused to assume
Your Misunderstanding leads you to make the mistake of believing that Allah may will reward unfairly the transgressors.
You don’t realize that you attribute to Allah swt the human blindless.
Allah swt is the almighty and omniscient, his paradise will be opened to its loyal and authentic worshipers and its rewards are not allocated blindly or hastily
Because they were never promised so vulgar or disrespectful towards women
There is a difference between the version of the announcements made by the holy prophet Muhammad slaws and those expressed and spread by the ignorant and opportunists who lack delicacy and eloquence
November 22, 2009 at 5:48 am
I will incha a’llah come back to you in order to complete the answer to the rest of your questions and comment, I’ll wiate to read from you first
November 14, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I was born and raised in a Christian family in America and converted to Islam in June of 2008.
I am proud and honored that Allah led me to Islam and made me strong enough to become a Muslim. Islam just makes sense to me. Unfortunately, because of the culture in some Islamic countries where leaders (men) suppress women, Muslims who have been misled by them believe that women have no rights and are merely a possession. Those who read, study and understand the Qur’an know that nothing is farther from the truth. If you look back in history all women were treated as property by men until Allah revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and specified laws and rights of all individuals. Before the Qur’an was revealed it was common practice to bury female babies alive and for women to have no rights at all. The Qur’an forbids the practice of killing innocent female newborns, it specified a dowry for women accepting marriage (she has the right to refuse also), she was given inheritance rights, and also the right to divorce! Allah doesn’t expect people to remain together if reconciliation is not possible. At times it may seem as though men have more rights but Allah also gave them more responsibilities. Many Muslims learn how to recite the Qur’an (in prayer) but don’t understand what the words mean. They rely on teachings of scholars and parents for direction. As a new Muslim I believe it is my responsibility to help promote an understanding of Islam. I have been helping a woman who teaches the Qur’an to women and children with a project. We have a website called http://www.GodLovers4U.com. It has a lot of useful information with English translation to help educate. Please take a moment to check it out and pass along to your friends who may find it useful. The truth about Islam needs to be spread throughout the world and in some small way we hope to help. Inshallah.
Assalamu Alaikum (May the Peace of Allah be upon you)

Assalamualaikum
I feel sooooooooooo blessed being a muslim women.
Would like to start with the misunderstanding what many nonmuslims have and that is muslim women is restricted……..we are not restricted, we are guided and protected in every possible way.
We follow customs and commands of Al-Quran with our will and wish, not by force.
Honored to be a Muslima and Allah, The High, has bestowed his finest blessings on me and my sisters in Islam……. the finest blessing is to be a Muslima………..
We cover ourselves and always accompanied by our men (Mohrim) not coz we are oppressed or not coz our men lack confidence, instead its coz we are GEMS of our Community and i am sure that u know how possessive people abt their Gems..
As far as our rights are concerned, we have rights… and there is no question of partiality or discrimination between men and women in Islam….Rights of women and men are described in Al-Quran-ul-Karim thoroughly with the answers to the questions like why women should wear hijab, why a women shold walk with her gaze lowered.so on and so forth….. in Islam u will find women is leading over men in few rights.
My request to the person who is reading this, Take the Quran and read it with the intention of understanding it………. i will not add much coz afraid u people again dont think that forcing u to do that… but a request….
From whomsoever u heard that they enjoy freedom without Islam or out of Islamic country or by the acts of utter indecency or exposing themselves, they are nothing but insane, and dont know the proper meaning of word “Freedom”.. Islam dont takes ur freedom rather hand the freedom of women with firm and full respect and dignity.
If my comment inspire u even for a second, i pray Allah make that second lasts for ur lifetime. Ameen Summa Ameen..

Assalam alaykum.
What a priviledge, What an honour?
I remain grateful for this honour given to me by my lord. Being a muslim is a joy to my hearth as i have never experienced freedom this good. As an hijab wearing muslim, i am free from the seductive looks of the worldly vultures, free from their touch. I get my respect as i am not insulted or harrased by any one. i feel good, satisfied and above all there is this blissful feeling from within that insha Allah i will be favoured by my lord in the hereafter.
ALHAMDULILLAH I AM A MUSLIMAH.
November 14, 2009 at 10:56 am
being a muslim girl means u r loved,cared n respected by everyone..and it really feels gud..m proud to be a muslim…m very thankful to ALMIGHTY ALLAH tht m a girl..

I save a lot of money from buying expensive bags and cloth etc. No need to compare with someone wear a LV or dress in Gucci any more. I can use the money to buy some food to feed the homeless or help other ppl in other course.
I save a lot of money from buying make up, expensive jewelries. No need to please other ppl by spend a lot time and money on my face or outside. modesty is the key, wisdom and good character shines me.
I love my husband and I do everything to please him. I dress up beautifully for him, yet protect my beauty for him. He cooks, he cleans, he takes me out and talk with me all the time. We do fight, from time to time, but we all remember Allah and ask for HIS help. Thanks to HIM, we always end up melting in each others’ arms again.
I love my life, I enjoy every aspect of my life. If I cry, I remember I will smile very soon. If I am upset, I know whatever I encounter now is just a task or test or lesson for me. Sooner or later, I will see the reason for all the hardships. and alhumdulliah, everything in my life has proved to have positive effect…
I am really happy, because I know even if all the people who love me are not here with me, God love me and He will always watch over me and protect me and raise me up and provide me with the best I deserve.
What else can make a girl happier? I am not worry about my body imagine, my face, the money in the pocket, what name brand I have to have…. instead, I have love, I have peace, I have confidence, I have respect, I have honor, I have …. I have GOD (ALLAH) ’s blessing…

The way the way the WORLD sees Women in Islam angers me when they should know the TRUE value of Women in Islam couldn’t be said more beautifully: Woman Was Made From A Mans Rib, Not From His Head So He Can Have Superiority, Not From His Hand So He Can Have Power, But From His Side So She Can Be Equal, Next To His Heart So She Can Be Loved, And Under His Arm So She Can Be Protected.
There will always be people putting down Islam, let their ignorance become unteachable. For they will be the ones to suffer. Remember yourself highest regard ladies. We Are Muslim Women. We Are Proud Alhamdulilah! Shukran Allah!

I’m a reverted Muslim from USA living in Egypt. I reverted in 2001 from being a christian, and in that time i had a total different life of always being seen only for my body and looks or sex rather then for my mind or heart. Now im a mother, daughter, wife, and grandmother. To me Islam has given me freedom, knowledge i never had before instead of being told wrong things or those of the ministry who refuse to enplane with proofs that had no meaning or reality like the trinity and so on. I studied and found that Paul was hired to actually kill Jesus, but found it cheaper to write stories of him. There are many things said of Islam and Muslims but its not true, unlike Christianity who thinks God has a son but dose not accept all the prophets or even to go back to the beginning of humanity of Adam and eve who were the 1st created by god from clay and a rib no mother or father! As a Muslimah i feel free and i cover for god (Allah), not for any other reason, and in my freedom do not have men to look at me of lust or to say dirty things to have to show my body to get a husband or to be wanted only in that capacity, instead its of my faith, knowledge and beliefs, respected as a woman, not by lust. I cant see why anyone would look to any other then god for their needs or prayers, May all be guided by his hands to the right paths, Ameen
November 14, 2009 at 1:14 am
Alhamdulillah, i’m Muslimah, I feel truly peace, Hijab liberates me in the way that some people would never know, i feel respected. Islam gave me joy in life and guide me to the “light” and better woman, Thanks to Allah Subhanahu wata’ala that i’m Muslimah, everyday… i feel blessed. Amin
November 14, 2009 at 12:32 am
salam
all I have to say is that i am so lucky and proud to be born a muslim alhamdulillah
November 13, 2009 at 11:14 pm
My parents sent me to Catholic School, but now I’m a mother, a wife, a PhD student, but most of all I’m a moslem. And yes, I’m so proud of it. Hijab doesn’t stop me. Hijab has been protecting me since I was a teenager, so I can socialize in an Islamic polite manner. And you know what? People respect me as who I am, what I do and how I think, not what I look like. I’ve never been harrassed either. Islam is the greatest thing ever happened to my life.
November 13, 2009 at 10:42 pm
As a reverted muslim of 2 years I have found more freedom and happiness than I have ever known. I am respected and loved by my husband, and my Ummah support and protect me. I wear the hi-jab and in doing so my body belongs to me not to the stares of men and those that judge a woman by her looks.
I want to tell of a time I was leaving work and a man came past and gave an elbow to my arm. I was just going to slough it off and forget about it as I was not hurt and figured it was only an act of disrespect. A Muslim brother witnessed this and he sprang right into action, he made sure I was okay then ran off after the guy who had “violated” me in this way! Masha’Allah …
No matter where I go, I know that if I need help there will be someone there to help me. If I need protecting I will be protected. If I need anything, I will receive it!! All because now I belong on one huge family of Muslims!!
November 13, 2009 at 10:30 pm
alhamdulillah…peace and blessing be upon Mohammad, the best of creation.
I am really blessed to have Islam in my life. Respect, protection, wisdom, decency… and a long list of other precious assets comes with this package of Islam. Alhamdulillah, I am doctor, certified in US as well. Those who think I am oppressed or kept behind should wonder then how I became a doctor! Men know I DEMAND respect from them when I go out in my hijab-jilbab(islamic covering dress), I DEMAND that they speak to my Mind and not my physical appearance. Distractions keep away from me and I keep away from distractions because of blessing of Islam. I am connected to my Lord more than 5 times a day through the 5 prayers! all very few minutes but to keep on going back in the midst of daily routine to keep this faith rejuvinated and talk to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
If you see a muslim woman and thoughts come to your mind…dont just sit there and assume anything, take a step forward and ask questions from her nicely and I am sure you will get a welcoming responce. (same hold for muslim men).
All praise be to Allah.
November 13, 2009 at 10:01 pm
i’ve read all the comments so far from my sisters from all over the world and am fascinated that this religion of ours is represented in so many countries! it is the fastest growing religion in the world and still we have to explain? why? i’m a convert to islam from years before we had internet and it still fascinates me! i still feel so proud to be of those chosen to pray in the fashion of our beloved Prophet muhammad (SAS). and may those who choose to have ill words of him come to know him ameen.
how does it feel to be a muslim woman? secure that i have true guidance. do i expect anyone who is not Muslim to understand? no.
just know, if you are reading this and not Muslim, we Muslims are not concerned with this life. this is a brief amusement, a trial. and we are just warning you that you/we will meet our Lord. period.
you can reason, find fault, do what you want. you can not avert it nor delay it. so just wait, and we too are waiting (but we are getting ready. are you?)
my apologies if i did not answer in the light you may have wanted. i came from jumuah today and am still on the Jumuah before hajj high! (i know my fellow and sister muslims can relate!)
November 13, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Assalamo alaykom wa rahmatu wa barakatuh,
i know this story about woman from arabic countrys…they think,if they go to another country are in freedom but allah is anyplace..its sad to see this. islam is not suppression,it is freedom.
I converd to islam and its the biggest good thing what i made in my life. i´m proud to be muslim. inchallah find other girls back to islam. but what we can do, nothing just to try to bring them back with words. Just allah know it
wassalam

Alhumdo lelah i am a muslim (a revert) thank god i found islam i am not oppressed i am liberated. How does covering yourself in a modest way equal being oppressed?? Sadly ppl think that to be liberated u must be without half your clothes and doing all sorts but they are the slaves really to the big industries and society. I am a proud slave to Allah obeidient to him. Allahu akbar!!
November 13, 2009 at 6:54 pm
ONE Very Small PROOF of how WOMEN are NOT oppressed in ISLAM..
Statistics are a proof enough of the opposite as the Statistics say that the number of women who convert to Islam daily are 4 times more than the number of men,.. Simply because the misconceptions we hear of other religions “including Islam” is one thing and the reality of the religion is another thing.. Truth can be played with by those who hate Islam, but it can never be hidden.. when you truly study Islam and understand it, it’s light will reach your heart, for it is the True word of God,. That’s why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world…
Being a Muslim women Is blessing I can’t be thankful enough for it,.. It’s the only way where you can find tranquility in the heart, purity of the soul, and peace of mind… It’s a complete way of life, for it’s the way which Allah has chosen for us, and only in Allah’s way do hearts find peace, happiness and satisfaction..
November 13, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I feel respected, loved, cared by my Muslim brothers and sisters. I feel lucky that I was born in a Muslim family. I am proud to be a Muslim girl!
November 13, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I’venever felt resticted because of Islam. I can only think of nothing but freedom.
Also being the muslim protects me in sooo many ways I don’t even know about.
November 13, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I am an American Muslim woman who embraced Islam more than twenty- four years ago. I came to Islam as a seeker of truth. I understand Islam as a seeker of truth.
Islam is a religious way of life that has the very highest of all ethics, morals and values. There is tremendous wisdom and beauty in it. Islam frees me to be myself.
I am a Niqabi, I not only wear the head cover, but I also wear a face cover as well. I do not find it oppressive, on the contrary… it allows me- to be me. I do not have to be concerned about others judging me by my body… I have a mind and a heart. I am free to represent myself through my mind, my thoughts and my ideas… not by rather I am physically attractive or not.
Actually, I consider the western way of women showing their bodies to be very oppressive. It is prevalent within The United States for men to rate women on how beautiful they are, how attractive their body is. I call this oppression not freedom.
November 13, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I am proud to be a Muslim woman alhamdulillah. Islam gives Muslim women individuality it gives us freedom, rights.It has freed Muslim women from slavery.It gives Muslim women the honour and dignity. It is the most beautiful gift for me from Allah to have been born as a Muslim girl and to have had the honour of praying to and serving the true God and ruler. Those who say that Muslim women are being deprived of their rights are wrong as it was Islam that first gave these women their rights who were sold like animals and bunt alive before Islam. Alhamdulillah I am a MUSLIM and am proud of it
November 13, 2009 at 2:02 pm
assalam alaykoum , well i`m not a women but i`m muslim , and soo proud , just don`t forget to share all those feelings with those that haven`t yet felt them …………
November 13, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Sorry just wanted to add that the quote at the top by the anti muslim is only given because she was never a true muslim and doesnt know what a true muslim is. maybe she oughta learn about the deen before she makes any statements and wowwwyy she can talk to her male neighbour something to be really proud of isnt it LMAO, jokes man!!!1
November 13, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Alhamudillilah i am a born muslim and proud and theres nothing thats ever made me think differently. being a muslim has given me freedom, a position, rights that i think that non muslims dont have that thats why they decide to waste they time trying to make it look like that they feel sympathy for us but guess what w DONT need your sympathy or support we’re proud. yeah sure tehey can do, eat and wear anything which is practically nothing but why are they soo messed up, why do they have to lose their self esteem and respect in order to get these things??? non muslims say we’re oppressed who gave them the right to make this judgement about us, and just coz we like to cover ourselves, its not oppression its modesty we CHOOSE to. lets take nuns for example they cover themselves like us muslims why are they not oppressed!!!!!????
Another thing is that non muslims dont know nothing about our religion and they decide to make their own speculations but lemme tell you people out there on the behalf of me and other muslims WE’RE HAPPY TO BE MUSLIMS, PROUD AND KNOWING WE’RE MUSLIMS GIVES US A STATUS NO ONE CAN COMPETE TO. ITS THE PATH TO JANNAH. IM PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM.
La illah ha illallah Mohammadan Rasul Allah-
praise to the almighty Allah swt show the non muslims and muslims by name the true path and make them understand what this beautiful deen is all about. Ameen

i can honestly say, the most amazing time in my life started when i took my shahadah ( became a muslim) it was the greatest thing i ever did achieve in my life, and i can only thank Allah for giving me hidiyaat( guidance) . the west discriminates against muslim woman, believing that we have no rights and no freedom, yet we have more freedom of choice than the west, we are liberated we are covered and protected, we are not discriminated against we are loved and cherished as mothers, as wives, as sisters, as daughters, we are not forced to cover , in islam it is all about choice! we choose to cover, for our protection, our dignity, our self respect. we don’t look down on others, we help one another, we are all sisters in islam so we all help each other out, its so loving and caring, as a muslim woman you have so many responsibilities yet so much respect and gratitude for the things we do in the community, we are not looked down upon by our men, we are respected and have a high status in islam! i can honestly 100% say that islam is more civilised and structured than most societies today, if you follow the true islam, if you follow the sunnat( ways of the prophet mohammad pbuh) you cant go wrong! islam is my pride, my honour, my love, my religion, my way of life alhamdulillah ( praise be to Allah)
November 13, 2009 at 11:03 am
thanks TO ALLAH 4 blessing me, for making me a muslim girl. its something that can never ever be repaid. ISLAM gave me honour. I m being respected because i m a muslim. Islam gave me rights more than any religion could claim. At the same time it gives me protection. Girls r not public property. Islam make it sure. it maintains a family system. Islam allows me to make decision. It helps me to choose the right and the best. Islam has given me a complete code of life so i dont have to wander, it makes my life tension free. It made my life easier. It respects my opinion. Most amazingly its exactly what i want. I want respect. I want importance. I want easiness. I want myself not to be commented on. Islam help me do it. Islam is vary close to nature. So its nothing to be ashamed on. Actually its something to be proud on.

As salam alikum,
Islam is such a beautiful and true religion of mankind, iam a born muslim my mother and my aunts are revert to islam, they tell me that they were chosen by god “to become a muslim and spend rest of there life’s with dignity, equality with love and respect rather be an amusement for people “WHO WILL JUST WANT TO USE U” without any security of your future or ur emotions u have a chose to chose to be a entertainer for men or a loving trustworthy, loyal wife to your husband the choice is ours and Allah (swt) has chosen the best way for us, hijab is our pride it makes us more secure than the other women who chose to be an entertainer by exposeing herself. the muslimah does complete hijab not because she is obliged to. but for the command of the creator is life in her, the trust is energy in her. bcoz they belive that a girl who wear’’s shorts or the clothes which show her figure depict to eyes of the beholder that she welcomes his lustful eyes and a muslimah who dons her hijab clearly states this that “IAM FORBIDDEN FOR U” being a muslim women has taught me to be an ideal daughter, an ideal wife, inshallah a very soon with the help of my Allah inshallah i will be a ideal mother soon. being a muslim has taught us to leave our life with dignity and pride that we belong to Allah and to our family’s alone not of the neighbours love for allah and fear of allah makes all these deeds sinful and self destroyeing acts as not part of our houses and our life may Allah save every muslimah with these type of self destroying acts.

Hello all.
Ms Wafa Sultan does not insult Islam due to enmity or hostility against Islamic religion. She experienced the suffering of being a Muslim woman in her home country of Syria.
Anyone here who revert to Islam, can you accept a person who have sex with a 9 year old girl as messenger of god? Do you accept someone who accumulated more than 11 wives during his lifetime as messenger of god?
What you all feel is a false sense of peace. Try to live in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Sudan for a change please? You merely familiar with the surface nature of Islam, ignoring the inner real dark ugly side of this religion.
Moreover, your testimony is worth half of man, and deficient in intelligence according to your “Prophet”.
Make your own research about that “Prophet”, read Suraa At-Tahrim, learned the reason behind that verse. Open the hadith book, Bukkhari and Muslim, read cover to cover. Read Siraa Ibn Ishak, At-Tabari and Al-Waqidi to obtain a clear picture of this man historically.
Humanity is but one family.

and Islam guides you to live as human….
Do you think these peoples didn’t searched….and said FAKE….like you are saying….
================
“My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.”
[Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, page. 33.]
================
Even non-Muslim historians recognize him to be one of the most successful personalities in history.
R. Bosworth-Smith wrote in “Mohammed & Mohammedanism” in 1946:
“Head of the state as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but, he was pope without the pope’s claims, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a Right Divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without instruments and without its support. He cared not for dressing of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life.”
==================
“Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?”
[Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp. 276-277.]
===================
George Bernard Shaw, a famous writer and non-Muslim says:
“He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness.”
[The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936]
======================
“The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes. There is Muhammad the Prophet. There is Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad the Businessman; Muhammad the Statesman; Muhammad the Orator; Muhammad the Reformer; Muhammad the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad the Judge; Muhammad the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero.”
K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian (Hindu) professor of Philosophy,
=======================
“I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind… I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet’s biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life.”
Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him,
=============================
Humanity is but one family.

Mr King-slave, thanks for your reply.
The quotation from Micheal H Hart also included cruel personalities such as Hitler too. Why don’t you mention about that? Do you know that he has changed his position recently?
Do you know why those people never convert to Islam? Even Maurice Bucaille and Keith Moore never converted. Heard of the financial wealth received by Maurice Bucaille from King Abd Aziz Saud？ Read his book that Muslims like to boast, on the contrary, he never become Muslim.
George Bernard Shaw was not a scientist, let alone a man an authority of the subject discussed. He was a play-writer and humor writer.
Ironically, you brought forward the statement from Lamartine, he said: “Founder of a cult without image”. Yes, Islam is cultic in nature, thus dissenter will never be tolerated. Just like other cult that had sprang up in certain areas. Moreover, he never complimented the “Prophet” as a wise, kind and man of mercy. Please do not misuse this quotation as to mislead the public, okay.
Perhaps, you should find the statement of Sir Winston Churchill about Islam as he was more reliable than George Bernard Shaw. Winston Churchill observed the political situation during the World Wars with the uprising of the Nazis and the hypocritical nature of Muslims as to their position in those days.
Please Mr King-slave, do not defend Islam by showing these few Westerners as examples. Look at your own history and traditions.
Humanity is but one family.
November 13, 2009 at 7:12 am
being a Muslim woman means the whole world to me and i cant seems to find the right word to thank Allah for giving me the privilege to become a moslem.
November 13, 2009 at 6:54 am
Assalamualaikum wbt,
Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah that I was born a muslimah.
Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah for this way of life.
I feel secure with my hijab and I am happy that I was well educated with the truth of Islam. May I will be able to teach the same true teachings of Islam to my children onwards, InsyaAllah.
May those who are mislead from teh truth be shown hidayah from Allah swt.
Wassalam.

Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Well Alhamdulillah(Praise be to Allah) I am a proud muslim girl. I love the way I am treated as a muslim girl. I feel protected by my Almighty Allah. This protectedness feeling had bloomed in me since I started wearing hijab. I am respected where ever I have gone. My classmated treat me with utmost respect even though we talk and have fun.
Actually, limits is what Miss Wafa Sultan is speaking as “boundries”. We too here talk to boys, but what we take care of are the limits which have to be kept while talking to them. Vain chats and unbounded conversation is what we are ought to avoid. She talks about freedom to talk with her neighbour, so for her kind information, we too talk to our neighbours, collegues, male teachers etc., but we are never blamed for commiting any act of adultery.
So in short, I would conclude that I LOVE ALLAH. I LOVE PROPHET MOHAMMAD (Salallaho alaihi wa’alaihi wassallam). I LOVE ISLAM AND I AM PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM.
Jazak Allah

Sallamz;
Hi, being a muslim women is so amazing for me, i feel free, with rights, im not oppresed, im happy, cause i am ME, and i dont try to be like someone else, i get respect from people, and i feel the most lucky person in the world.
I have to mention i am reverted, i am mexican, grew up as catholic, and as many ppl, i didnt know what Islam was, i didnt know the beauty of it, i always thought it was something bad, when it really isnt.
Most people thinks that a women wears veil or covers themselves cause their family, meaning, husbands parents, brothers or whatever, forces them to do so, but, let me tell u this, who do you think that would force me, when I AM THE ONLY MUSLIM IN MY ENTIRE FAMILY?? Nobody, i wear it cause is one of God’s commands, and its also in the bible, and if Mary, Jesus’s (SAW) mother covered herself, why wont we??
I want to say:
LA ILAHA ILALLAH, MUHAMADAN RASOULULLAH, I am proud to be a MEXICAN MUSLIMA!! MASHA’ALLAH!!!
P.D. Dont judge the religion cause of the acts of others, cause u can be wrong, dont tag them cause of their looks, talk to them, find out what everything is about, and then, only then, make conclutions….
Assalamu aleikum waRahmatullah!

Salaam Alikam,
I am a Muslim woman who embraced Islam at 13 years old.
I had been brought up in an abusive home, where my family are Christians.
Islam made me free from the oppression of my home, I felt special and loved by one person and that was Allah swt.
I had nothing and no one to turn to except Allah swt through prayer(As-Salaat), It was hard practicing Islam at my home since my father would beat me being a Muslim, eventualy Islam lead me to being disowned and no longer beaten which was a relief for me.
I got married to a very caring Husband, who never hits me or yells at me.
As a Woman in Islam you are like a diamond so precious that no one can just come and touch and play with you. Only the man your married to can touch you, and he must respect you.
Hijab is our protection and our duty towards Allah, Hijab isn’t about the man controlling us, but its about covering our beauty from strangers because a woman’s beauty is sacred.
It’s not like a footpath where everyone walks over and uses.
Women are more special then this and Islam treats a woman more better then anything.
A woman is so high that she is 3 times more better then a man because she sacrafices to have children &raise them.
We are the very special people in Islam who are loved & respected

Assalam o Alikum All,
well Alhamdulillah i’m muslim since birth. and i thank ALLAH from bottom of my heart for it(i’m residing in Hong Kong).i would like to clear the non muslims misconception that if muslim women does not show her body it doesn’t mean she is oppressed by any way.that is only because our religion is a practical religion and our each and every step is to please ALLAH only. whatever we do we do it happily because our concept is very clear.we are not at all forced to do anything in our religion being a women.
secondly i want to ask is it freedom to show you naked body to everyone ???it means you are just like a display everyone can enjoy you free of charge.and i must mention here display model is always useless no one want to buy it either as its Dirty…
muslim women is equal to men and due to some physical requirements ALLAH has ordered men to earn food for family.which is perfect system made by perfect ALLAH subhan o tallah. ALLAH knows the best!May he guide us all towards straight path and grant us Jannah.

i couldnt describe it into a words about being a muslim women. i feel like im lucky, blessed and comfortable. i treated like queen, pearl, and the most precious things in the world. many non muslim think that we dont have a rights, they are totally wrong, my rights is respected. i feel free. i feel comfortable under my hijab cuz im not be an object anymore. im proud to be a muslim woman

First of all, “talking to a male” is not, I repeat NOT adultery. Adultery is a specific act, that being the act of sexual intercourse.
My being a Muslimah is a joy and an honor beyond any words bestowed on me by Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala. I feel a sense of liberation I never felt before. Insha’Allah, I hope I die before I think of leaving Islam.
November 13, 2009 at 2:01 am
To non-muslims the idea of a Muslim woman and liberty are antithetical. They find it hard to believe that we can feel liberated in a strictly patriarchal religion. To this I say: why does being part of a patriarchal society necessitate the oppression of women? If there is honor placed upon my very being, and if God says we are equal to men, why should I feel otherwise? My sense liberty come from God Alone, not from men. Non-muslim view of equality, on the other hand, has been tainted, and now the non-muslim wish women were like men. One’s sense of liberty comes from what defines one’s views in the first place.

Assalam alaykom
The meaning of being a muslim woman is that one I believe that there is no god but Allah. Second, it means I respect my body because I want to obey Allah so I wear Hijab. Third, it means that nothing in this world matters but what I do to get to Jannah. So my family is not going to help me get to Jannah. No. Neither is me showing off my body going to somehow enter me into the Highest level of Paradise. Islam is not oppression but infact it fights against oppression! The muslim woman fights against oppression, because she will not allow herself to be a victim play toy. She has her rights. The muslim woman also is a mother. At her feet is paradise, because she is the one that raises her children and teaches them. The muslim woman is also a sister. She is there for her other sisters in Islam. She helps them. She listens to them. And says words of wisdom. Oh, what it means to be a muslim woman is truly something worth wild.

being a muslim is a joy and blessing that cannot be described in words…being muslim brings meaning to life…in which without it non can survive spiritually and mentally…being a muslim woman is the only thing that liberates women and grant her honoour and dignity…those who attack muslim women and accuse them of being oppresed are soooo jelouse and cannot stand the fact that muslim women are preciouse thus they they intend to lower their status but the status of a true muslim woman will never be lowered…alhamdulilah i am a muslima

Mr Ken,
A totally meaningless argument placed on ur side.. this is what happens if u lacking knowledge of islam. Get a Quran(with english translation) n read it asap.
Ok here are ma counter arguments on statement u have put forward regarding islam permitting sex with female captive/prisoners of war:-
I want you to join with me as we turn back the pages of time and explore when slavery became a custom.
Slavery was not initiated by Islam, it had been in practice long before the advent of Islam. As we know, it’s the custom of war to have captives and those captives or prisoners used to be turned into slaves and concubines by their masters.
Women were subjected to all kinds of injustice, oppression and barbarian treatment. This went as far as that Greeks used to consider her a mere commodity, to be bought and sold. As for Romans, she was a slave already by nature, even without being captured at war!
Then Islam came, it tried to put an end to all such inhumane practices. It left no stone unturned in its quest to let women have their rights and dignity restored. This is clearly manifest in the way Islam handled the issue of slavery. Right from the start, Islam set a goal to eradicate this barbaric syst.
ma malakat aimanukum” (what your right hands possess). This is mentioned in many verses in the Qur’an, like the following:
If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And God hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: …
Surah 4 Verse 25
right hands” here refers to women taken as prisoners of war. It is by no means an implication of concubinage, for this is totally prohibited in Islam. Nor does it refer to purchasing female slaves from market to be used to satisfy sexual urge.
The special functions and merit instinctively man has reserved for the right hand:
And it is the very hand used in making pledge of allegiance … etc.”
All this indicates that the word “what your right hand possess” has a special and glorified meaning in Islamic usage. In fact, it signifies the great care and good treatment that captives or prisoners of wars should be accorded. This is how Islam dealt with the issue from the earliest stages.
he Prophet (pbuh) made this clear in his hadith that masters should treat their slaves as their brothers and female captives as their sisters, if not in faith, at least in humanity. He said:
“Your servants are thy brethren. Allah has put them under your control. He could, if He willed, make you under their control. Thus, whoever has his brother under his control, let him feed him of his same food and dress him of his same dress. Never saddle them with work that goes beyond their capability. If the work happens to be somehow difficult, lend them a helping hand.”
As for female captives, Imam Bukhari quotes the Prophet, as saying:
“If any of you have a slave girl, whom he gives good education and excellent training, and then he emancipates her and marries her, he shall have a two-fold reward.”
Islam further put an end to the habit of using derogative names of “slaves” or “servants”. For in Islam, man must not show servitude to anyone besides Allah the Almighty. So it was stipulated that the captives should be addressed by “fatah” (boy) or “fatat” (girl). Besides, the act of emancipating slaves used to be a competitive work among the Prophet’s Companions, for it was highly recommended by Islam and was considered an act of worship.
I rest ma case here at the moment.

Hello Mr Deviladvocate
Allow me to refute your apologetic claim. Remember about Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid? She was a successful businesswoman during the PRE-ISLAMIC period. The society at that time accepted her without discrimination. But her property gradually become lesser and lesser until exhausted in the beginning of Islam.
Fact was that the portrayal of women’s suppression in Pre-Islamic jahiliyya community was greatly exaggerated by later Muslim apologists. Can you find another successful businesswoman after Islam was established? NO. and WHY?
I had been reading Quran for 14 years. In each and every page, you can detect a kind of insecurity of the so-called god vis a vis the Unbelievers. Quran mostly elaborate about torment and torture of Unbelievers that will send shiver to our bone. have you ever wondered why is this god creating bulk of humanity only to enjoy torturing them? Think about this analytically. You have been brainwashed to accept every hook, line and sinker from that hating book, the Quran.
Slavery was rampant in Pre-Islamic as well as Post-Islamic period. “Prophet” Muhammad himself kept slaves and indulge in slave trading. Please don’t conceal this, sir. At one time, he possessed more than 9 wives and mostly all of them kept slaves.
He waged war like a mafia warlord and reduce the status of free women to slaves, was that moral thing to do? Have you heard of Buddha, or Jesus spilled the blood of others? NO.
Islam is a very sick religion that will produce sick individual who feigned piety and piousness but in reality, heart full with hypocrisy. Most of the Caliphs of Islam from Umayyad till Ottoman Dynasties accumulated many sexual partners in their harem.
When Muslims criticized the moral degeneration of the West, they overlook their own shortcomings.
Muhammad cannot be a prophet, his conducts were contradictory even at the simplest matter of urinating. There’s hadiths about him prohibiting urinating while standing but in other hadiths, he urinated standing. You can detect many issues regarding this when reading hadiths.
The permission to have sex with female captive of wars and slave girls are the ultimate blow to Islam as this indirectly sanctioning unlimited sexual partner as long as there are wars going on between Muslims and Non-Muslims. That’s why Muslims always aspire for wars. They are duped to believe in virgins in paradise as well as booty in the form of captured female slaves.
How am I going to explain to my child that the prophet married a 6 year old girl and sexually enjoyed her at 9? Then, he had many wives and sexual partners. Is this qualities of prophethood? NEVER.
Wake up before it’s too late.
Humanity is but one family.
