my muslim sister, i was very moved eith this article of yours, believe it or not, i, being a a boy, after seeing the status of women in this society compared to what WAS the status of women back in the times of Prophet(S.A.W.), was very annoyed by all ‘powers’ resting with men. But after reading your article, i became satisfied that, NO, men and women are weighed in same scale in islam

Salam Alaikum Sister,

Your article struck a chord in me , and I think we probably come from the same West African country. I have always been struck by the way infidelity is condoned for men here regardless of whether they are muslims or not. I never attended Friday prayers or Eid until I travelled to the UK for my studies. It is disheartening the misogyny that is practiced in the name of Islam. May Allah guide us all to be better Muslims and to change these things in our country and the entire Muslim Ummah, ameen.
And we can teach our own children that this way is not the right way and Insha Allah bring about the much needed change.

Salaam alaykum
Thank you for posting this sister. It is a good conversation started and a much needed one. Woman are still treated second class in many masjids and so called Muslim countries. I know that is not Islam. It is so hard for me to know how many sisters suffer and how men are just allowed to do such awful things to women with zero accountability. I know there are a great Muslim men but when culture overrides Islam then doing right can go out the window. I have been Muslim for 12 years and the violence and misogyny i see and hear committed by “muslims” really tests my faith…..i always have to remind myself that is not what Allah teaches in the Quran….Islam is perfect Muslims are not. Thank you for the verses you in your article I will bookmark them to remind myself.

I was very moved by your article as I grew up in the same circumstances but in a very catholic setting. True Islam is the answer for mankind. May Allah reward you for your time and efforts in writing this.
