This article is not about feminism. It is about understanding the Quran. I hope you are someone who really wants to learn the Quran. It is not women, but Allah (SWT) who is praising Maryam (as). It is Allah in the Quran who said that women have rights over men as men have rights over them. It is Allah (SWT) through the Prophet (saw) that has taught us that women are twin halves of men, that it is their duty like men to learn and teach, and that they will be rewarded equally for their good works. It is humans, mostly men, who have taken these Allah-given rights away from women. Anyone who wishes women to stay in the dark corners of their homes has not truly studied the Quran, hadith or learned of the spirit of Islam. If men give women their God given rights, whether they are their wives, sisters, mothers, aunts, etc, then women have no complaints. The complaint is against the majority of men who do not.

This piece was not about the men and women relationship. This article was to show that Allah loves and respects righteous, learned women, and that women as much as men should have the right and opportunity to study the religion and most of all, be able to teach it. Women have a different perspective on many of the teachings in the Quran and hadith and have alot to share. Her education means educating the future men and women.

As for the relation between husband and wife, there are many rights and obligations that are clear, and then there are things that are left to the individual couple. For example when to wean a child, or to find a nurse, etc. Men do not become subordinate if women get their rights. These rights are given to her by Allah, and taken away from her by some men. If everyone follows their responsibilities, then no one will need to ask for their rights.

What does feminism achieve and what are its claims?

1) Women are fundamentally oppressed and tyrannized by men in all societies.

2) Women need to change society so that they can be equal to men.

What has this achieved?

The money power (bankers and industrialists) wanted a huge unorganized work force, who would work without complaint for low wages and bad working conditions. Wages were lowered by increasing the supply of labour, women were now required to compete for jobs.

Strong families where men and women and children all spend time together and learn values from each other without 'outside' interference like schools or governments they are fiercely independent and self reliant, unwilling to follow orders or to work for corporations. So feminism was used as a weapon by the people in power to break up such families who resisted control.

Great article. May Allah aid you in your studies.

I think the moral is that a woman is an autonomous being and not only defined by roles as mother, sister, etc. The contribution of Sh.Akram Nadwi in listing of the historical legacy of female scholars in Muslim history is said to be 40 volumes, his preface alone is 300 some pages!

Zaynab al-Ghazzali is one Caller who sticks out as someone consistent on never being swayed from working for anything other than the pleasure of Allah and of emulating the model of Mariam (as).
