I really find this quite funny when some ignorant Muslim Apologist make statements like ”Islam proclaims the total freedom of women in the
society” Or ”Islam Fought for the Rights of women and still does” or the statement i hate the most ”Islam Fought and still stands for Equality for women” Like Seriously ARE YOU FOR REAL???
Sorry to say this but Islam is one religion i know which treats women as second class human beings, Islam was also a religion built on satisfying the se*xual and social desires of Prophet Muhammad and Male Muslims Only and by the time you finish reading this article and you take out time to verify all my claims you will also agree with me.
Two very important factors that contributes to the continued concealment of the maltreatment of women in Islamic countries is the fact that other Older women in the family go along with and encourage this way of life. also In Islamic Countries It is suggested that violence against women is not a judicial issue, but rather a family issue. These are the 2 major reasons you have never head of these following practices.
NOW LET ME GIVE YOU TEN DISCRIMINATION BY THE QURAN, PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND ISLAMIC SHARIA LAWS AND TEACHINGS AGAINST WOMEN THESE PRACTICES CAN BE FOUND IN MOSTLY ISLAMIC DOMINATED COUNTRIES E.G SAUDI ARABIA WHICH IS THE HOLIEST CITY IN ISLAM AND ALSO COUNTRIES LIKE EGYPT, SUDAN, IRAQ, IRAN, SYRIA ETC. SO DONT WORRY IF YOU DO NOT WITNESS IT NOW WHEN ISLAM EVENTUALLY DOMINATES THE WHOLE WORLD YOU WILL BE SUBJUGATED TO IT.
Now In This Article we are going to mainly focus on Women’s rights in Saudi Arabia Islams Holiest Country.
1. MEN ARE SUPERIOR TO WOMEN AND SHOULD BE COMPLETELY IN CHARGE OF THEM
In relations between husband and wife, the position of the head of the family exclusively belongs to the husband
One of the most appalling laws is Tamkin, meaning submission or obedience. To be more specific, Tamkin has been defined as the full accessibility and unhampered se*xual availability of the woman to her husband. Se*xual availability is considered a woman’s duty and a man’s right.
Well the Below verse from the Quran Is the main Root of this Inequality and it Explains itself Perfectly so do not allow any Muslim apologist to start reinterpreting it for you….
Quran 4:34 Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand… How can you call this Equality??
2. MEN ARE ALLOWED TO BEAT THEIR WIVES
Well you obviously read the above verse Though its clearly stated that beating should only be as you last resort all that matters is that beating is allowed. It really doesn’t matter whether the hadiths says the beaten should be painless i really doubt if anything like Painless beating exists, i mean imaging a very angry husband who caught his wife cheating inflicting blows on his wive and you expect the beating to be painless well you Muslims can continue deceiving yourselves that All beatings inflicted from husband unto his wives are usually ”Painless beatings”… the main issue here should be what verse in the Quran Also allows Women to inflict painless beating on their stubborn husbands??… once again is this equality???
3. ”HONOUR KILLING” I.E A MAN CAN KILL HIS WIFE IF HE CATCHES HER CHEATING RED HANDED
The age of marriage in Islam for women varies with country. Originally, Islam permitted marriage of girls below the age of 9, because Sharia Courts considers practices of The Great Muhammad, the Prophet, as a basis for Everlasting Islamic law. According to Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the two authentic hadiths(Documentations of The Life Of Prophet Muhammad), the Prophet married Aisha, his third wife when she was 6, and consummated the marriage before she reached the age of 9.
Narrated ‘Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his passing away).
—Sahih al-Bukhari, 7:62:64
Now Before any Ignorant Muslim starts trying to explain to me that the way women got matured in the 6th century is different from today kindly keep in mind that Muhammad was the Last and final Prophet to the whole of mankind so All his practices and actions are to last for the whole of eternity and are to be emulated so if you say Women then stopped Maturing very quickly then indirectly you are saying Allah Is Not All Knowing if not he would have known the future and stopped muhammad from marrying a 6 year old child. I Have No further Comments on this one all i have to say is May God Help Us All… Amen! Can a 50year old woman get married to a six years old boy???
5. 1 MAN CAN MARRY 4 WOMEN
The funny thing here is the great prophet Muhammad was so great he even had immunity to this law as he married above the specified number he had 11 wives alive at one certain time and married a total of 15 wives, please no one should tell me he married women to strengthen bond with his companions thereby securing the future of Islam because Jesus also came to establish a religion and he didn’t get married but yet secured the future of Christianity…
Quran 4:3 And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
In Islam is it permitted for 1 woman to marry 4 men??? Now Please explain to me how 1 man marrying 4 women can be defined as equality??
6. A WOMAN CAN NOT INITIATE DIVORCE IN MARRIAGE
A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and none of them have the right to divorce him — even if he is a non caring husband. Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home. Divorce is only in the hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: “I divorce you” and becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.
Remember Quran 4:34 says…Men are in charge of women…. and righteous women are devoutly obedient…. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted… How can you call this Equality??
7. TO PROVE RAPE A WOMAN MOST PRODUCE 4 MALE WITNESSES, SOMETIMES SHE IS TAGGED UNCLEAN AND SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR BEEN THE ONE WHO INITIATED RAPE BY DRESSING INAPPROPRIATELY
Lol So If I Want To Rape Your 12year old Daughter I Would Wait Till 4 Male Witnesses Are Around Before I Rape Her??? Well See the below Quranic verse…
Quran 24:4 And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses – lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient…
But than a rapist (The Man) may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim. And Sometimes The Rape Victim(The Woman) Is Tagged Unclean and Condemned to Death and Accused of been the one who initiated the rape by dressing inappropriately.
8. IN SAUDI ARABIA THE HOLIEST CITY IN ISLAM WOMEN HAVE NO SOCIAL RIGHTS: WOMEN CAN NOT DRIVE A CAR, VOTE, OPEN BANK ACCOUNT, TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY, ATTEND UNIVERSITY, UNDERGO SURGERY ETC.
Well So you do not believe me??? Google is you friend, In Saudi Arabia a fully grown adult woman has no right to drive a car or do 90% of the social activities you women do here in the west on a regular base most importantly to do the below things its very compulsory that as a a fully grown adult woman you first get approval from your male guardian(Father, Uncle, Elder Brother,or Husband)
- marriage and divorce;
- travel, if under 45;
- education;
- employment;
- opening a bank account;
- elective surgery, particularly when sexual in nature.
Now as A Man do you need approval from your wife to do the above??? how is this equality????
9. IN COURT A WOMAN’S TESTIMONY IS WORTH HALF OF A MANS TESTIMONY AND ALSO IN INHERITANCE SHE GETS HALF OF WHAT HER BROTHERS GETS
The Holy Qur’an equates two women as substitute for one man, in matters requiring witnesses. Well like i stated before i started this article make sure you carry out your own researches and cross check these Quranic verses
Qur’an 2:182 – O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing. Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable himself to dictate, let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing
In Inheritance For example, where the decedent has both male and female children, a son’s share is double that of a daughter’s. Additionally, the sister of a childless man inherits half of his property upon his death, while a brother of a childless woman inherits all of her property.. No Comments.
10. WOMEN ARE INCOMPETENT, INFERIOR, UNCLEAN, WOMEN MAKE UP 90% OF PEOPLE IN HELL FIRE, AND ARE ALL DEFICIENT AKA DULL SO GUARDIANSHIP IS COMPULSORY
Under Saudi law, all females must have a male guardian (Wali), typically a father, brother or husband (a mahram). Girls and women are forbidden from traveling, conducting official business, or undergoing certain medical procedures without permission from their male guardians.
The sunnah in various hadiths, (The Books which record the teachings and actions of Muhammad), are more explicit in comparing Muslim women to Muslim men, in matters of testimony. Sahih Bukhari, which is considered authentic and among the most trusted binding hadiths in Islam, records this Below statement as a law set by the Prophet and his companions:
Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” Allah’s Apostle said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”
—Sahih al-Bukhari, 1:6:301
No Comments.
In addition, Muslim men can marry women from other religions (religions of the book Christian and Jews), while women cannot marry a non-Muslim unless the man converts to Islam. Is This Equality???
In Iran girls are legally allowed to marry at 8-9 years old, while boys must be at least 14 years old Is This Equality???
also it is compulsory that a woman must wear a Hijab, In Iran Theres even a Law That states: “Those women that appear in the streets and public places without the Islamic hijab, shall be sentenced from ten days to two months’ imprisonment or fined Heavily,” there is no similar law and penal code for men. Is This Equality???
CONCLUSION
Its Also important to Note That Many Activists reject guardianship, they all agree it is not love and is demeaning to women. In a 2009 case, a father vetoed several of his daughter’s attempts to marry outside their tribe, and the sharia court sent her to a mental institution as punishment. The courts recognize obedience to the father as law, even in cases involving adult daughters.
Saudi activist Wajeha Al-Huwaider agrees that most Saudi men are caring, but “it’s the same kind of feeling they have for handicapped people or for animals. The kindness comes from pity, from lack of respect.”She compares male guardianship to slavery:
The ownership of a woman is passed from one man to another. Ownership of the woman is passed from the father or the brother to another man, the husband. The woman is merely a piece of merchandise, which is passed over to someone else—her guardian … Ultimately, I think women are greatly feared. When I compare the Saudi man with other Arab men, I can say that the Saudi is the only man who could not compete with the woman. He could not compete, so what did he do with her? … The woman has capabilities. When women study, they compete with the men for jobs. All jobs are open to men. 90% of them are open to men. You do not feel any competition … If you do not face competition from the Saudi woman … you have the entire scene for yourself. All positions and jobs are reserved for you. Therefore, you are a spoiled and self-indulged man.
Lol i thank God I am a man oh! I Just Can’t wait ’till we have these fun activities where we live! Can you?
Hell on Earth is here. It meets at your local mosque. Allahu Akbar!!!! To All True Muslims…All Peaceful/Moderate Muslims Are Hypocrites/Infidels Only Extremist are The True Muslims. Lets All Come Together Join ISIS And Boko Haram and help Our Beloved Friend Satan In Is Vision to make the whole world One Single Islamic Caliphate/Community Where Sharia Laws are Regarded as Constitution. Well its high time Muslim women come together and fight against inequality or they die in silence and help Secure the Inferiority state of their female children’s future.
Lastly Let me Define the Word Equality With A Dictionary:
equality
Well Its Either the word Equality Has been redefined and now has a different meaning or you muslim men simply do not know the meaning of that word … So from the Above Article do you think Islam Promotes Equality?
Whose talking about Islam here, one Cristian girl talking about Islam. By reading 4 lines of Qur’an you will not understand Islam.
1.The reason why the husband is regarded as superior and is given the role of qawwaam (protector and maintainer)
Praise be to Allaah.
The great rights that a husband has over his wife are something that is affirmed in sharee’ah, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise”
[al-Baqarah 2:228]
“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allaah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity and their husband’s property). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great”
[al-Nisa’ 4:34]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman can fulfil her duty towards Allaah until she fulfils her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.”
Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1853; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
And there are other similar texts.
Allaah has explained the reason in the verse where He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means”
[al-Nisa’ 4:34]
This superiority is something that Allaah has decreed, and He is not to be questioned about what He does, rather they are to be questioned. It is also because of what the man does, spending on his family and striving to earn a living for them.
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (1/363): “The phrase ‘but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them’ means that they are superior in physical nature, attitude, status, obedience to the commands of Allaah, spending, taking care of interests, and virtue, in this world and in the Hereafter, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means’
[al-Nisa’4:34].” End quote.
He also said (1/653): “Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women’ meaning that men are in charge of women, i.e., they are their leaders, who rule over them and discipline them if they go astray. ‘because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other’ means, because men are superior to women, and men are better than women. Hence Prophethood was given to men only, as is the highest position of authority (i.e., khilaafah or the position of caliph), because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No people will ever succeed who appoint a woman as their ruler.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari from the hadeeth of ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Abi Bakr from his father. The same applies to the position of judge etc. ‘and because they spend (to support them) from their means’ means, because of the mahr, spending and maintenance that Allaah has enjoined upon men with regard to women in His Book and in the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). So men are better than women in and of themselves, and they have the responsibility to spend on them and maintain them, so it is appropriate that the man should be the protector and maintainer of the woman, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them’, i.e., they are in charge of them. She should obey him in that which he commands her to do, and obeying him means treating his family well and protecting his wealth.” End quote.
Al-Baghawi said in his Tafseer (2/206): “ ‘because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other’ means, men excel women because they have more powers of reason and religious commitment and they are in charge of affairs. And it was said that this refers to giving testimony, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women’ [al-Baqarah 2:282]. And it was said that it refers to jihad, or to worship i.e., Jumu’ah and prayers in congregation, or that it refers to the fact that a man may marry four wives, but a woman is not permitted more than one husband; or the fact that divorce is in the man’s hand; or that it refers to inheritance, or to diyah (blood money), or to Prophethood.”
Al-Baydaawi said in his Tafseer (2/184): “ ‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women’ means that they are in charge of them and take care of them. He gave two reasons for that, one that is inherent in them and one that is acquired subsequently, and said: ‘because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other’, because Allaah has favoured men over women by making men more perfect in reasoning and running affairs, and has given them more strength with regard to work and acts of worship. Hence men are singled out when it comes to Prophethood, leadership, guardianship, establishing rituals, giving testimony in legal matters, the obligation to engage in jihad and pray Jumu’ah, and so on, and they are given a greater share of inheritance, and divorce is in the man’s hand. ‘and because they spend (to support them) from their means’ refers to what they spend with regard to marriage, such as the mahr and maintenance, etc.” End quote.
In conclusion, men have been given the role of protectors and maintainers for the two reasons mentioned in the verse, one of which is inherent i.e., Allaah has made men superior to women, and the other of which is acquired by the man through his own hard work, which his spending his wealth on his wife.
And Allaah knows best.
2.Hitting one’s wife?
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing in the Qur’aan that suggests that a man is allowed to bite his wife.
1 – The Qur’aan enjoins good treatment of one’s wife: she is to be honoured and treated kindly, even when one no longer feels love in one’s heart towards her. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“and live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allaah brings through it a great deal of good”
[al-Nisa’ 4:19]
2 – The Qur’aan explains that women have rights over their husbands, just as their husbands have rights over them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise”
[al-Baqarah 2:228]
This verse indicates that the man has additional rights, commensurate with his role as protector and maintainer and his responsibility of spending (on his wife) etc.
3 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined kind treatment and honouring of one’s wife, and he described the best of people as those who are best to their wives. He said: “The best of you are those who are the best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3895; Ibn Maajah, 1977; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
4 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke beautiful word concerning kind treatment of one’s wife, stating that when the husband feeds his wife and puts a morsel of food in her mouth, he earns the reward of doing an act of charity. He said, “You never spend anything but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you lift to your wife’s mouth.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6352; Muslim, 1628.
4 – And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fear Allaah with regard to women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allaah and intimacy with them has become permissible to you by the words of Allaah. Your right over them is that they should not allow anyone to sit on your furniture whom you dislike; if they do that then hit them but not in a harsh manner. And their right over you is that you should provide for them and clothe them on a reasonable basis.” Narrated by Muslim, 1218.
What is meant by “they should not allow anyone to sit on your furniture whom you dislike” is that they should not allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses, whether the person disliked is a man or a woman, or any of the woman’s mahrams [close relatives to whom marriage is forbidden]. The prohibition includes all of them. From the words of al-Nawawi.
The hadeeth may be understood as meaning that a man has the right to hit his wife, in a manner that is not harsh and does not cause injury if if there is a reason for that, such as her going against his wishes or disobeying him.
This is like the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“As to those women on whose part you see ill‑conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great”
[al-Nisa’ 4:34]
If a woman rebels against her husband and disobeys his commands, then he should follow this method of admonishing her, forsaking her in bed and hitting her. Hitting is subject to the condition that it should not be harsh or cause injury. Al-Hasan al-Basri said: this means that it should not cause pain.
‘Ata’ said: I said to Ibn ‘Abbaas, what is the kind of hitting that is not harsh? He said, Hitting with a siwaak and the like. [A siwaak is a small stick or twig used for cleaning the teeth – Translator]
The purpose behind this is not to hurt or humiliate the woman, rather it is intended to make her realize that she has transgressed against her husband’s rights, and that her husband has the right to set her straight and discipline her.
And Allaah knows best.
3.HONOUR KILLING
Praise be to Allaah.
One of the gravest of major sins with which a person can meet his Lord is the sin of killing a soul whose killing Allaah has forbidden.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein; and the Wrath and the Curse of Allaah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him”
[al-Nisa’ 4:93]
It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about major sins, and he said: “Associating others with Allaah, disobeying one’s parents, murder and bearing false witness.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2510; Muslim, 88.
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The believer will continue to have a good chance of salvation so long as he does not shed haraam blood.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6469.
It is not permissible to accuse chaste women of zina. Zina can only be proven by the testimony of four men who see the act take place with their own eyes, and see the penis enter the vagina, or by the unforced confession of the man or woman who committed zina.
Anything other than that is accusing a Muslim woman of zina, for which the person should be given eighty lashes.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the Faasiqoon (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”
[al-Noor 24:4]
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah and Zayd ibn Khaalid al-Juhani (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “… Go tomorrow, O Unays, to this woman and if she admits (to adultery) then stone her.” He said: I went to her the next day and she admitted it, so the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ordered that she be stoned.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2575; Muslim, 1698.
Allaah has specified the punishments for men and women who commit zina. The hadd punishment is stoning if they have been married and one hundred lashes for one who has not been previously married.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allaah, if you believe in Allaah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment”
[al-Noor 24:2]
It was narrated from Jaabir that a man from (the tribe of) Aslam came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he was in the mosque and he said, “I have committed adultery.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet had turned his face, and testified against himself four times. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Are you mad?” He said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Are you married?” He said, “Yes.” So he commanded that he be stoned in the Musalla (Eid prayer place). When the stones troubled him, he ran away, until he was caught in al-Harrah and killed.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4969; Muslim, 1691.
If it is asked: who is it that should carry out this hadd punishment for zina?
The answer is:
No one should carry out the hadd punishments without the permission of the ruler. If there is no ruler who rules according to sharee’ah then it is not permissible for the ordinary people to carry out the hadd punishments. Whoever does that is sinning, because carrying out the hadd punishments requires examining the matter and requires shar’i knowledge in order to know the conditions of proof.
The ordinary people have no knowledge of such things, and the carrying out of one of the hadd punishments by the ordinary people leads to many evils and the loss of security, whereby people will attack one another and kill one another or chop off one another’s hands on the grounds that they are carrying out hadd punishments.
Al-Qurtubi said:
There is no dispute among the scholars that qisaas (retaliatory punishments) such as execution cannot be carried out except by those in authority who are obliged to carry out the qisaas and carry out hadd punishments etc, because Allaah has addressed the command regarding qisaas to all the Muslims, and it is not possible for all the Muslims to get together to carry out the qisaas, which is why they appointed a leader who may represent them in carrying out the qisaas and hadd punishments.
Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 2/245, 246.
Ibn Rushd al-Qurtubi said:
With regard to the one who should carry out this punishment – i.e., the hadd punishment for drinking alcohol – they agreed that the ruler should carry it out, and that applies to all the hadd punishments.
Bidaayat al-Mujtahid, 2/233.
Al-Shawkaani said:
It was narrated from Abu’l-Zinaad from his father that the fuqaha’ of the people of Madeenah used to say that no one should carry out any of the hadd punishments except the ruler, unless it is a man carrying out the hadd punishment for zina on his male or female slave. Nayl al-Awtaar, 7/295, 296.
The family of the woman should prevent her from committing immoral actions and should prevent the things that lead to that, such as going out, speaking to non-mahram men, and everything that may enable her to commit evil. If the only way is to detain her and tie her up, then they have the right to do that, so they should detain her in the house.
But as for killing her, they should not do that. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about a married woman who had children and who formed an attachment to a man and committed immoral actions with him. When she was found out, she tried to leave her husband: did she have any right to her children after doing this? Was there any sin on them if they cut off relations with her? Was it permissible for the one who has proof of that to kill her secretly? If someone else did that would he be sinning?
He replied:
Praise be to Allaah.
Her sons’ and male relatives’ duty is to prevent her from committing haraam actions, and if the only way they could do that is by detaining her, then they should detain her. If it means that they have to tie her up, then they should tie her up. But the son should not beat his mother, and with regard to treating her kindly, they have no right to do otherwise. It is not permissible for them to cut off ties with her so that she is free to do evil actions, rather they should try to prevent her from doing evil as much as possible. If she needs provision and clothing they should provide that for her. And it is not permissible for them to carry out the hadd punishment – execution or otherwise – on her, and they will be sinning if they do that.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 34/177-178.
It so happened that some women committed zina at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and no one in their families killed any of these women. One of them was al-Ghaamidiyyah (may Allaah be pleased with her).
It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Haseeb said: A woman from Ghaamid, a branch of al-Azd, came and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, purify me!” He said, “Woe to you! Go back and seek the forgiveness of Allaah and repent to Him.” She said: “I think that you intend to send me back as you sent Maa’iz ibn Maalik back.” He said, “What has happened to you?” She said that she had become pregnant as a result of zina. He said: “Is it you (who has done that)?” She said: “Yes.” He said to her: “(You will not be punished) until you give birth to that which is in your womb.” A man from among the Ansaar sponsored her [i.e., paid for her needs etc] until she delivered (the child). Then he (that Ansaari) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “The Ghaamidi woman has given birth to a child.” He (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) said: “Then we will not stone her and so leave her child with no one to nurse him.” One of the Ansaar stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, let me be responsible for ensuring that he is nursed.” Then she was stoned to death.
Narrated by Muslim, 1695.
So the attitude of the family of the woman asked about here, claiming that she deserves to be executed, is wrong in other ways as well, such as:
1 – They do not have the attitude if one of their sons or brothers commits zina. This is like the actions of the people of the Jaahiliyyah who allowed themselves to commit zina but not their women. And these people feel that their honour has been besmirched and their protective jealousy comes to the for if their women commit sin, but there is no protective jealousy on their part if one of their sons or brothers does the same thing. Indeed some fathers boast about their son’s evil actions and encourage him to do it.
2 – They have opened the door for women to fall into sin, by allowing women to attend mixed schools, have bad friends, watch haraam things and sit in reprehensible gatherings. This has led to women’s hearts becoming deadened and attracted to immoral things. Some of them do not arrange marriages for their daughters or sisters and they stipulate impossible conditions, then they want to punish them when they are the ones who deserve punishment more.
3 – They don’t only kill for the sin of zina, rather they do that even if the woman only spoke to or got to know a non-mahram man, for which there is no hadd punishment of killing in sharee’ah.
4 – They open the door for everyone who wants to kill his sister or daughter on the grounds of nonsensical excuses, when the reason for killing her may be her wealth, or because she knows things about them that they want to conceal, or other such reasons.
From time to time we hear claims from the kaafir west or the deviant east that everyone who kills his sister or daughter does so because of honour. That is because many laws let the killer off if he kills any family member for this reason.
Even though this claim may be true, we should not be deceived by these people and their claims, because the purpose of these claims is to remove gheerah (protective jealousy) from the hearts of the woman’s family, and to open the door for women to commit immoral actions.
What the guardians of women must do is to fear Allaah regarding those who are under their care, and prevent them from committing immoral actions or doing the things that lead to that, and not be either careless or too strict.
And Allaah knows best.
4.A 50 YEAR OLD MAN CAN MARRY A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL
It was a divine inspiration:
Before describing the rationale behind this married relation, let it be known that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) married Sayyida Aisha not of his own desire rather it was a Divine inspiration. Read the following Hadith;
Narrated ‘Aisha:
That the Prophet said to her, “You have been shown to me twice in my dream. I saw you pictured on a piece of silk and some-one said (to me). ‘This is your wife.’ When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it was yours. I said, ‘If this is from Allah, it will be done.” {Bukhari :: Volume 5 :: Book 58 :: Hadith 235}
2-It was not out of his physical desires:
The Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) did not marry Sayyidah Aisha out of his physical desires. One need to note that for first 54 years of his life he had only one wife. His only wife till 50th year of his life was Sayyida Khadija. He spent his entire youth with her and she was a two time widowed woman, 15 years elder to him. For next four years his only wife was Sayyidah Sa’uda.
3-Age of Marriage in Old Ages:
One must first understand that 1400 years ago was very different than now, times have changed and so have humans. 1400 years ago it was something very common to marry young girls, in fact they were not considered young girls, and rather they were considered young women back then. It is a historic fact that girls from the ages of 9 to 14 were being married in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in fact even in the United States girls at the age of 10 were also being married just more than a century ago.
Yet with these facts no historian claims that all these people were sick perverts, historians would call anyone who made such a claim to be arrogant and very stupid who has no grasp or understanding of history.
Even in Indo-Pak Sub-Continent girls used to be married at 12-13 even 50-60 years ago. And those ‘girls’ infact raised much better families. There were less family problems then. A simple analyses of the divorce rate then and know would certainly make it clear that maturity level earlier used to be different i.e. people used to come of age rather quickly.
4-Child Brides in Byzantine Empire:
http://www.roman-emperors.org/aggiefran.htm
Visit this link to see how common were the child brides in the Byzantine Empire.This article clearly states;”Child brides, whether Byzantines or foreign princesses, were the norm rather than the exception, especially from the late twelfth century”.
5-The Pagans of the Prophet’s time:
The fact that it was a completely acceptable thing can also be seen from the response of the pagans at that time. No Muslim or even pagan objected to the marriage because it was widely practiced. And even until today in 3rd world countries (Muslims and non-Muslims), little girls as young as 9 or 10 do get married. Anyway, the reason no one objected was to the Prophet’s marriage was:1-People used to have very short life-spans in Arabia. They used to live between 40 to 60 years maximum. So it was only normal and natural for girls to be married off at ages 9 or 10 or similar.2-Marriage for young girls was widely practiced among Arabs back then, and even today in many non-Muslim and Muslim countries
6-Engagement with Jubair bin Mutim:
It ought also be noted that Sayyidah Aisha ( RA) was engaged to Jubayr son of Mut’im before Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him. This indicates the age of marriage and engagement in Prophet’s time. However, the engagement was later nullified by Jubayr’s parents due to Abu Bakr (RA) embracing Islam.Doesn’t this indicate there was nothing bad in marrying a 9 year girl at that time?She must have been even younger when she was engaged to Jubair
7-Sayyidah Aisha was fit for marriage:
Furthermore as to the Holy Prophet’s marriage with Sayyidah Aisha, something people will notice is that the completion of the marriage was done when Sayyidah Aisha was 9 years old, not when she was 6, and there is a reason for that. The reason why this happened is because Sayyidah Aisha had been through puberty by the age of 9, and in Islam a female who under-goes puberty is considered a lady and is fit for marriage.
If we read the hadiths, we find that right before Sayyidah Aisha got married off to the Holy Prophet that she was sick and not feeling too well:
Narrated Sayyidah Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.” {Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234}
So as we can see, Sayyidah Aisha got ill and her body was going through some changes, indicating that she was going through her puberty.
8-Sayyida Aisha never showed her displeasure:
Another striking thing to observe is that among hundreds of her narrations there is not even a single one showing her displeasure about this marriage. Hence, she had no problem with this relation. Infect it is manifest from several traditions that she loved the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) too much and even felt some sort of jealousy when she found others around him. Does this not prove that she was extremely happy about this marriage? So, when she herself had no problem at all then what’s the matter of concern for others?
9-A 9-year old Thai girl gave birth:
A 9 old girl can become a mother. If you don’t believe me then see here is the proof;
The news item is from the New Straits Times, 10/3/2001.
In our world today, we still have people who marry very young girls. Why should we object to someone who married a 9-year old girl 1400 years ago, when we still practice it today? The girl above even gave birth at the age of 9!
10-It was absolutely legal:
Prophet Muhammad’s marriage with Aisha was 100% legal and acceptable by all laws and Divine Religions. It is important to know that girls during the Biblical and Islamic days used to be married off at young ages when they either had their first periods, or their breasts start showing off. In other words, when they turn into “women”, then they get married off. It was quite different for men on the other hand, because physical power and the ability of living an independent life had always been and will always be a mandatory requirement for men to have in life. So men waited much longer than women in terms of getting married. The guy had to develop both his body and mind before he was ready for marriage. That is why you see girls as young as 9 or 10 were married to men as old as 30 or even older. The culture back then and in many of the world countries today (NON-MUSLIM ONES TOO) is quite different than what you live in today.And there is no divine law which is broken in marrying a girl of nine at any costs.
11-Her parents never objected:
Sayyidah Aisha’s mother and the Muslim women back then were O.K with her marriage. It was part of the Arab custom and still is in many of the Muslim and non-Muslim countries today for girls to marry at a very young age. When a girl’s body starts showing up (her breasts and her height and physical size), then she would be ready for marriage
The only reason why Sayyidah Aisha’s father, Abu Baker Al Sidique, broke her engagement with Jober is because he was a non-Muslim. Later, a woman named Kholeah Bint Hakeem suggested for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to marry Sayyidah Aisha, because the Prophet and Abu Baker became best friends. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) engaged Sayyidah Aisha for 3 years before he married her.
12-Muslims never concealed it:
Had there been any bad thinking regarding this marriage in minds of the people at that time. Muslims would have tried there best to conceal at that time. But they didn’t.
13-Refuting unjust Pagan views:
There were many baseless traditions in practice among the Arabs in those days. So Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was usually ordered by the Almighty ALLAH to refute such traditions through personal examples. Similar is the case of Prophet Muhammad’s marriage with Umm al Momineen Aisha (R.A.)
1-For a bad omen, Arab considered Shawwal a month prohibited for marriage. Sayyidah A’isha’s betrothal and departure from her parent’s house took place in Shawwal. This changed the ridiculous custom.
2-Another bad custom was that the Arabs did not give the hands of their daughters to those who they “called” their brothers (though were not actual brothers). This was the objection raised by Abu Bakr himself, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) made the proposal. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) then told him that a brother in faith was not an actual blood brother to be placed in the prohibited category.
14-Great Wisdom behind this marriage:
Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) marriage with Sayyidah Aisha at that age was indeed a great blessings for all the Muslims ever since. Most of the matters related to cleanliness, married relationship and other household issues have been cleared due to her narrations. She lived a long time after the death of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and continued to teach the Ummah about matters of daily routine and great importance.
15-What was Sayyidah Aisha famous for ??
Well what was her specialty? I ask the critics.
Was it beauty?
Was it wealth?
No it was religion!Thus proving the DIVINE LOGIC.
Arwa Bin Zubair says, “I did not find anyone more proficient (than Aisha ) in the knowledge of the Holy Quran, the Commandments of Halal (lawful) and Haram (prohibited), Ilmul-Ansab and Arabic poetry. That is why, even senior companions of the Prophet used to consult Aisha in resolving intricate issues”.
(Jala-ul-Afham by Ibn Qaiyem and Ibn Sa’ad, Vol.2, p.26)
Also see this;
Abu Musa al-Ashari says: “Never had we (the companions) any difficulty for the solution of which we approached Aisha and did not get some useful information from her”. (Sirat-I-Aisha, on the authority of Trimidhi, pg. 163)
INDEED ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST!!!
5.1 MAN CAN MARRY 4 WOMEN
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to why Islam does not allow a woman to marry more than one man, the imams (may Allaah have mercy on them) have explained the wisdom of the Lord behind that. For example, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
That is the wisdom of the Lord and His kindness and mercy towards His slaves and His taking care of their affairs. Exalted be He far above anything other than that. His laws are above suggesting anything other than that. If it were permitted for a woman to have two husbands or more, the world would be corrupted, lineages would be lost, the husbands would kill one another, there would be great misery and tribulation, and there would be continuous trouble.
How could a woman be in a good position if she were shared by a number of men who were fighting all the time? How could the men who share her be in a good situation?
The fact that sharee’ah brings the teachings it does is one of the greatest signs of the wisdom of the Lawgiver and His mercy and care.
If it is said, how come men are taken care of and given free rein to satisfy their desires and move from one wife to another according to their desires and needs, when a woman’s sex drive is the same as a man’s?
The answer is that because women are usually hidden behind veils and inside their houses, and women tend to be more even-tempered than men, and less active than men, and men have been given more physical strength and energy which makes men’s desires greater than woman’s and men are affected by these desires more than women, a man is allowed to marry more partners than a woman is. This is one of the things that have been given exclusively to men and not to women, one of the things in which they have been given something more than women, just as they are also favoured over women in that only men can be Messengers, Prophets, caliphs, kings, governors and judges, and go out for jihad, etc., and men have been made qawwaamoon (protectors and maintainers) of women, taking care of them, working to provide them with the means of living, exposing themselves to danger, travelling about in the land and exposing themselves to all sorts of trials in order to take care of their wives.
The Lord is Ever-Appreciative and Forbearing, so He appreciates the men’s efforts and has rewarded them by giving them something that He has not given to the women.
If you compare the exhaustive efforts and hard work that men do for the sake of woman with the jealousy that women suffer, you will find that the men’s share of effort and exhaustion is greater than the women’s share of having to put up with jealousy.
This is the perfect justice, wisdom and mercy of Allaah, may He be praised as He deserves.
6.DIVORCE
Divorce existed before Islam, but the advent of Islam made the divorce process much more favorable to women. Women’s property is not divided during a divorce.[58] Whatever a woman earns or is given before and during the course of the marriage remains her property if the marriage ends.[59] This prevents men from taking advantage of women’s property or wealth through marriage. On the other hand, the man’s property is divided if a divorce occurs according to the couple’s marriage contract.[60] A woman is entitled to support and maintenance from her former husband if she requires.[61] There are also special instructions if divorce occurs before the marriage is consummated and before or after the dowry is set.[62]
Islam also instituted a three-month waiting period for women called Iddah.[63] During this three-month period women are not permitted to re-marry.[64] The basic reason for this rule is to determine whether the woman was pregnant before she remarried so the proper father could be ascertained.[65] This practice also ensures the child’s identity and lineage can be accurately determined.[66] A husband and wife are also allowed to attempt reconciliation during the waiting period.[67] However, men are specifically instructed not to take back their wives to “injure or take undue advantage” of them.[68]
Determining the proper procedure for divorce is highly dependent upon the timing of the divorce, the reasons for divorce, the client’s Islamic School of Thought (Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, and Shafi), whether he or she is Sunni or Shiite, and the circumstances surrounding the divorce.[69] The scope of this article cannot cover all the conceivable scenarios or grounds for divorce but will seek to address the basic requirements for divorce. [70] It is important to keep in mind different schools of thought can cause some variances in the basic structure described below.
Requirements for divorce
As stated earlier, Muslims in America seeking a divorce still have to comply with the laws of the United States.[71] However, most Muslims will seek to follow the laws regarding divorce in America but will also want documents reflecting their religious beliefs and their marriage contract.[72] Either a man or woman can initiate a divorce.[73] Before a Muslim starts official legal action he or she must meet the following requirements:[74]
He or she must have reached puberty and be capable of making a decision;[75]
He or she must be sane, conscious, alert, and free from intoxication or anger;[76]
He or she must be free from external pressure;[77]
His or her intention must be clear;[78]
Divorce must take place after the wife’s menstrual period and no sexual relations have occurred since her period ended.
If all the above factors are present, either the husband or wife can pursue a divorce or they can pursue a divorce jointly and amicably. This will involve going through the normal divorce proceedings according to American law but will also involve reviewing the terms in the marriage contact and drafting language that incorporates prior agreements and ends the contract.
There are also several levels of revocability of divorce in Islam.[79] If a client approaches a practitioner claiming the divorce is revocable the best course of action is to consult an Islamic scholar. This can be a complicated question that will likely require an Islamic scholar to listen to both sides and make a determination. Islam has a strong tradition of alternative dispute resolution that will help resolve complex matters surrounding divorce.[80]
It is also important to keep in mind that although divorce is permitted in Islam, it is not encouraged. The Prophet Muhammad stated of all the permitted acts divorce is most displeasing to God (Allah).[81] The Quran further states: “Live with them (your wives) on a footing of kindness and equity. If you dislike them it may be that you dislike something in which Allah has placed a great deal of good.”[82] Muslims truly view divorce as a last result and many Muslims seek counseling and extensive assistance to avoid divorce. If a client is coming to a practitioner to carry out a divorce it has likely been a very long and difficult religious and personal decision.
7.Why must a raped woman produce four male witnesses?
24:4 And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors.
This is the verse you are referring to.
The “four witness” standard comes from the Qur’an itself, a revelation Muhammad announced in response to accusations of adultery leveled at his wife, Aisha: “Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce not witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.”[Qur’an 24:13]
These 2 verses are connected.
In the event when Aisha was accused of adultery, Muhammad’s adopted son Zayd ibn Harithah defended Aisha’s reputation. Shortly after this, Muhammad announced that he had received a revelation from God confirming Aisha’s innocence and directing that charges of adultery be supported by four eyewitnesses.[12][Third-party source needed] These verses also rebuked Aisha’s accusers,[13][Third-party source needed] whom Muhammad ordered to receive forty lashes.
It is NOT the raped woman who needs to produce 4 male witness, but the person who is accusing the woman off having the relationship.
i hope you understand this situation.
((Also i would like to add this concerning rape.
So if a perpetrator uses a weapon on a woman, beating her, shooting her, injuring her, kidnaps, imprisons and transports her elsewhere, rapes her, this could rise to the degree of hiraba which is the more severe crime, likely warranting a death sentence.
Key for a female is to put up a fight and show resistance to the best to her ability, not just surrender and do as the perpetrator commands as Western law enforcement instruct.
Thus, fathers should teach their daughters to fight tooth and nail against anyone attacking her. If she is killed by a perpetrator while she is defending her honor and life, she dies a shaheeeda.
Whats far more difficult to prove is when someone coerces a woman within a private setting and she puts up no resistance and there is little to no evidence. Thus, a mahrem who rapes a female.
8.Islamic Law
The year 2011 ended with an irreversibly changed Middle East where the hegemony of several dictators collapsed at the hands of their oppressed populations. The Syrian and Yemeni peoples’ immense sacrifice and desire for change continue into 2012. There is little doubt that the world will further witness the collapse of other dictatorial regimes in the region.
Whilst the Muslims of the Middle East continue to sacrifice their sweat and blood for liberation from the shackles of dictatorship, the debate about the aftermath continues. In Egypt, for example, although the Ancien Régime remains largely intact, parliamentary elections were conducted at the end of November 2011 and the presidential election is expected to be held in July 2012. Nevertheless, the question of the form and character of the system of governance is far from settled. Although the role of Islam in the state will be inevitable, its extent of influence remains far from clear.
The Anglo-French-American triple alliance has added to the mist of confusion, as they painstakingly attempt to hijack the spirit of the protesters in order to install a new generation of rulers who would ensure the security and furtherance of Western interests in the region.
In such cataclysmic circumstances, the subject of whether Islam can deliver the rule of law under the shari’ah is in the minds of millions of Muslims. After all, nobody wants to return to the repressive days of Mubarak, Ben Ali and Gaddafi. People want an accountable, transparent, fair and just authority.
This article explores how the Islamic shari’ah can realise the hopes and aspirations of the millions of protesters in the Arab spring by ensuring that the rule of law is established. This article surveys the illustrious Islamic history and highlights how Islamic rule guaranteed the rule of law many centuries before the Europeans even dreamt of such standards. It is argued that the rule of law in the Muslim world can only be instituted under Islamic rule.
Definition of the “rule of law”
Prior to launching into defining the rule of law, it is important that certain misconceptions are dispelled. One such fallacy is the argument by many Western politicians that the rule of law is the monopoly of Western secular democracy. [1] For example, Thomas Bingham, the former lord chief justice of the English courts said, “There has been much debate whether the rule of law can exist without democracy. Some have argued that it can”. [2] Bingham’s assumption is premised on an erroneous notion that good governance can only be the result of democracy.
The West has hitherto paraded democracy as the only system available to mankind but failed to convince the Muslim world that democracy is the panacea for all its ills. As Mark Welton quite aptly recognises, “Democracy… is a high-value term loaded with positive connotations for Americans and Europeans. But the same term, used so indiscriminately by Western politicians, is also widely perceived in the Arab Middle East as a codeword, a “guise for Western efforts to re-conquer Arab territories and plunder their natural resources”. [3]
The Islamic legal and historical sources strongly rebut the suggestion that the rule of law is the sole possession of the West. As Welton elucidates, “…the concept embodied in the term “rule of law” is in fact a legal and political value shared by both the West and Islam, and if properly refined, can provide a useful framework for more effective discourse and understanding between these two traditions”.
So what do we commonly understand by the principle of the rule of law? Let us look at Bingham’s definition. Bingham asserts that under the rule of law “all persons and authorities within the state, whether public or private, should be bound by and entitled to the benefit of laws publicly and prospectively promulgated and publicly administered in the courts”. [4] Islam in principle has no objection to this definition insofar as this definition can manifest within the Islamic legal and political framework. [5]
The rule of law necessitates that law is accessible and clear so that citizens of a state are aware of the boundaries of the law, which they must obey. The rule of law also applies to government and guarantees certain basic rights such as presumption of innocence until proven guilty, not to be arbitrarily detained without due process and right to fair trial in an independent court. All the executive and judicial organs of a state must uphold the rule of law because nobody is above the law. [6]
Brief analysis of the system of governance in Islam
It is well known that the system of governance in Islam is the Khilafah (caliphate). This system is well rooted both in the Islamic shari’ah and the history of Islam. It is a system that is quite unlike the Western democratic paradigm. The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The Prophets ruled over the children of Israel; whenever a prophet died, another prophet succeeded him, but there will be no more prophet after me. There will soon be khulafah and they will number many. Fulfil the bayah [i.e. pledge of allegiance] to them one after another and give them their dues for Allah will verily account them about what He سبحانه وتعالى entrusted them with”. [7]
The Khalifah is the guardian of the people and his task is to ensure that the shari’ah is implemented so that justice prevails. Allah says,
وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
“And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly”. [8]
Under the Khilafah, there is no separate legislature because the power of legislation lay not in man but in the Creator of man. Allah says,
فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ
“So judge between them by what Allah has revealed…” [9]
Allah also says,
إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ
“The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah”. [10]
Sovereignty belongs to the laws of Allah, the shari’ah, not the people. It is the Khalifah who implements the shari’ah in the lands of Islam. As imam Abu’l Hasan al-Mawardi (died 450 AH) states, “Imamate is prescribed to succeed prophethood as a means of protecting the deen [Islam] and of managing the affairs of this world”. [11]
The rule of law is therefore established on the basis of the shari’ah. As Welton states, “The Islamic world, too, has a devotion to the rule of law that has prevailed through much of its history and, while severely impaired in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by Western colonialism and its aftermath, has resurfaced as a desired virtue, fully compatible with Islamic law and tradition”. [12]
How the shari’ah guarantees the rule of law
This section of the article seeks to illustrate what role the people, the Khalifah and the judiciary play in establishing the rule of law under shari’ah.
a) The people
Allah سبحانه وتعالى says,
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ۖ فَإِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ
“O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger”. [13]
Allah has thus obliged Muslims to obey the ruler who rules by the shari’ah.
Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “A Muslim is obliged to hear and obey whether he likes it or not, except when he is required to do something that is sinful, in which case, there is no obligation to hear or to obey”. [14] Unlike democracies where obedience to the law of the land requires coercion by the state, Muslims historically lived by and obeyed the laws of Islam by and large without the need for coercion. This is because respect for and obedience to the laws of Islam is a matter of doctrinal and creedal obligation upon Muslims, which was the reason behind the success of the Khilafah. Thus, when Allah ordains upon Muslims to obey their rightful ruler, there is no option but to observe this command. This principle is well established in Islam from numerous ayat and ahadith.
b) The Khalifah
It is beyond the scope of this paper to elucidate the process of electing the Khalifah; however, it suffices to say that the majority of the classical scholars of Islam are unified on the view that the Khalifah assumes authority by approval and authority of the people. As imam al-Mawardi asserts, “…it is necessary for the electors to agree to his Imamate and that once agreed, it comes into effect because Imamate is a contractual agreement and it is not brought into being except by the contracting partner”. [15] The post-colonial despotic rulers of the Muslim world are therefore an anomaly in the history of Muslims.
The first Khalifah of Islam, Abu Bakr (RA), in his inaugural address said, “O People, I have been appointed over you, though I am not the best among you. If I do well, then help me. And if I act wrongly, then correct me… If I disobey Allah and His Messenger, then I have no right to your obedience”.
The second Khalifah of Islam, ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) enunciated the attributes required of a Khalifah, “By Allah, O Ibn ‘Abbas, only the strong person without violence, the one who is gentle without being weak, the one who is economical but without being miserly, and the one who is generous without being wasteful is worthy of this affair”. [16]
The above abundantly illustrate that the Khalifah (and thus his executive subordinates) is required to be mindful of his obligations to the people and the shari’ah. He cannot be above the law but rather is subject to the law like everyone else.
The Khalifah fulfils, amongst the myriad of other obligations, the following as part of his responsibilities. The Khalifah must:
1. guard and protect Islam and its way of life against external influences and ensure that innovations do not creep into the pure message of Islam;
2. establish justice where disputes arise between litigants so that the strong does not oppress the weak;
3. implement the Islamic hadd punishment (i.e. criminal laws) so that the prohibitions of Islam are not violated;
4. possess the appropriate defence capabilities in order to defend the territories of the Islamic state and its citizens against external attacks;
5. manage the fiscal affairs of the state and collect the taxes prescribed by the shari’ah e.g. kharaj, zakah, jizya and ushur etc;
6. manage the funds of the treasury (Bait-ul-Mal), invest in public projects he considers necessary without being wasteful and pay the public sector employees’ salaries from the treasury; and
7. assume personal responsibility over the affairs of the people and execute the policies of the ummah without overreliance on delegation of authority.
Provided that the Khalifah conducts himself in accordance with the shari’ah as abovementioned, he would be deemed to have discharged his obligation to Allah and the people.
c) The judges
The Khilafah also has a strong judiciary which implements the laws of Islam, dispenses justice and keeps the executive accountable. Everybody under the shari’ah is equal before the law and judgment is pronounced without fear or favour. Principally, there are three types of judges in Islam: [17]
1. the Qadi settles disputes between people in private law matters and implements the penal codes;
2. the Muhtasib is responsible for dealing with communitywide issues that affect the public and wider society, e.g. unscrupulous traders who harm the wider public; and
3. the Mazaalim is responsible for investigating and settling the disputes between the ruler and the ruled. Essentially, this judge keeps the executive accountable and in checks.
When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was the head of the Islamic state in Medina, he was petitioned to intercede for a noble lady who had committed theft, but the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The nations before [us] were destroyed because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person amongst them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, committed theft, Muhammad would cut off her hand!” [18]
This hadith illustrates that even if the Prophet’s daughter had committed a crime, notwithstanding his position as the head of the Islamic state, he would have implemented the same criminal punishment upon his daughter without favour. Such approach is inimical to the rulers that litter the Muslim world today whereby the rulers, their families and their entourage enjoy unbridled favour and effectively operate above the law. This is a direct result of the absence of the shari’ah in the Muslim world.
There are detailed rules in Islam pertaining to the appointment of judges, the discussion of which is beyond the scope of this paper. However, let us again invoke the words of the second Khalifah of Islam, ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) when he outlined the attributes a judge requires in an Islamic court. He said, “The task of the judiciary is an undisputed obligation and a sunnah to be followed. Seek to comprehend when people have recourse to you, for it is no use to speak of a right if it is not put into effect. See that your face, your justice and your sitting are the same between people, such that the lord does not hope for your partiality, nor the weak despair of your justice…” [19]
These words of wisdom essentially outline the justice one can expect to see under Islam. The Khalifah or the judiciary have no room to depart from this boundary and will be accounted by the people if any departure from the rule of law is apparent to the citizens. The Umayyad Khalifah ‘Umar bin Abdul Aziz (RA) once said “Rulers usually appoint people to watch over their subjects. I appoint you as a watcher over me and my behaviour. If you find me at fault in word or action guide me and stop me from doing it”.
The judiciary is principally responsible for accounting state officials, including the Khalifah and his governors, in cases of wrongdoings. [20] The remit of such judges is wide enough to serve the purpose. Imam al-Mawardi maintains that such persons have the authority to investigate abuse of power by rulers against the ruled, and to hold them to account for the injustice they may have inflicted. Such powers may be invoked by the judges irrespective of whether or not the citizens complain against the official concerned. [21]
During the early Umayyad era, there were some incidence of official misconduct whereby the citizens were deprived of the rights they were entitled to. However, these were not tolerable in Islam and thus Khalifah ‘Umar bin Abdul Aziz (RA) instituted formal procedures to investigate wrongdoings by officials, to the extent that he returned the goods that were seized by members of his tribe to their rightful owners. In the sight of ‘Umar members of his tribe were no different from the citizens of the Islamic state whose rights were violated. As imam al-Mawardi recorded in his treatise, “he would reject all such wrong doing and would maintain respect for just and fair practices or re-establish such practices if necessary”. [22] This practice of accounting state officials for abuse of power was carried out, in varying degrees, during the Abbasid era, for example, under al-Mahdi, al-Hadi, ar-Rashid, al-Ma’mun and al-Muhtadi.
The history of Islam contains abundant examples where abuse of power by state officials were investigated and remedied by judges. Such a judge may, amongst other matters, deal with:
1. abuse by tax officials, e.g., if they miscalculate the tax due from individuals and overtax. In such cases, the judge would order the return of the amount due back to the individual who overpaid;
2. allegations of deficiency, delay or negligence towards the payment of salaries of state employees who receive their salaries from the treasury. In such circumstances, the judge concerned would investigate and rectify any errors and ensure that their salaries are paid in a timely manner;
3. the restitution of private property seized unlawfully by state officials, even if he was a governor. The judge is obliged to investigate such allegations of seizure of property and effect restitution after conducting his investigation; and
4. unlawful seizure of property by one powerful individual from another due to his weakness. Upon investigating such complaints, restitution will be effected in accordance with the judge’s findings.
The rule of law deficit in the West
The West has over the past few decades lectured countries around the world to institutionalise democracy, the rule of law, justice and equality. However, the USA and the UK have been exposed in recent years for not practising what they preach. For example, both the USA and the UK have been systematically involved in practices such as “extraordinary rendition”, torture of terror suspects, indefinite detention without charge, unjust treatment of foreign nationals and intrusive spying on Muslims. As one American academic commented,
“Virtually every significant government security initiative implicating civil liberties – including penalizing speech, ethnic profiling, guilt by association, the use of administrative measures to avoid the safeguards of the criminal process, and preventive detention – has originated in a measure targeted at noncitizens”. [23]
Yet, this deficit of the rule of law is not just limited to the above. In June 2007, it emerged that Tony Blair had pulled the plug off a major fraud investigation by the Serious Fraud Office against the British arms manufacturer BAE Systems. It was reported that BAE secretly paid £1 billion to Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia as “secret commission”, thus effectively bribing the Saudis to place the largest defence contract worth £43 billion, known as the al-Yamamah deal. [24] It was allegedly in Britain’s “national interest” to terminate this SFO investigation, thus sacrificing the rule of law under the pretext of Britain’s oft-quoted “national interest”.
Similarly, on the eve of Bill Clinton’s departure from office, he pardoned 140 convicted criminals/fugitives. Those pardoned included US billionaire Marc Rich, who was at living abroad to avoid prosecution by US authorities. It was alleged that Marc Rich made handsome donations to the Democrats to secure the pardon. [25] This “cash for pardon deal” scandal raised many doubts over America’s hollow claims that the US upholds rule of law. Needless to say, examples of abuse of power are quite common in the 21st century Wild West.
Conclusion
The above discourse evidently illustrates that the shari’ah has put in place all the ingredients necessary for establishing the rule of law, which is much needed in today’s turbulent Muslim world. History is testament to the fact that Islam had established an enviable civilisation under its rule. There is no reason why this cannot return. On the other hand, the tired and baseless suggestion that only democracy is the way forward for Muslims is hardly foolproof. Western politicians must wake up to the slogan in Tahrir Square, ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam (the people want to bring down the regime).
9.What is the daughter’s share of inheritance?
Praise be to Allaah.
If a daughter inherits – whether from her mother or her father – her share of the inheritance may vary according to the situation:
1 – If the daughter is an only child, i.e., she has no brothers or sisters (i.e., heirs who are descendents), then she has a half of the legacy of the deceased. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“…if only one, her share is a half…”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:11]
2 – If there are more than one daughter – two or more – and the deceased has no male children, then their share is two-thirds. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“…if (there are) only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance…”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:11]
3 – If there are other, male, heirs who are descendents of the deceased (one or more), then they are to be given the remainder after each person who is entitled to a share has been given that share. Her share is equal to one-half of her brother’s share (“to the male, a portion equal to that of two females”), whether they are two or whether the children include both males and females. The male takes a share equal to that of two females. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allaah commands you as regards your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:11]
These are the shares which have been decreed by Allah. So it is not permissible for anyone to change any part of them, or to deprive an heir, or to bring in anyone who is not an heir, or to deprive an heir of any part of his inheritance or to give him more than the share allotted to him by sharee’ah. And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

Thanks Bro you Just Further Proved me 100% Correct and Accurate… You barely Refuted Any of My 10 Points but you just ended up making a complete fool of yourself….
In The First place Men and Women are not Supposed to have ”Rights” Over One Another…. What is then The Use Of Love, Equality And Trust??? What Kind of Marriage is Built on having degree of Rights over One and Other…
your following statements further solidifies my claims that Islam Discriminates thereby promoting inequality against women…..
1. ”The great rights that a husband has over his wife” are something that is affirmed in sharee’ah, as Allaah says… SO BASICALLY U HAVE AGREED WITH ME THAT INDEED MEN HAVE MORE RIGHTS OVER WOMEN,
2. ”And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands” LOL BRO DID YOU EVEN READ MY ARTICLE??? YOU ARE JUST HELPING ME EXPOSE ISLAM THE MORE!!!
3. YOU JUST KEPT ON RANTING AND RE-INTERPRETING THE WAYS MEN ARE SUPERIOR TO WOMEN. MOST OF THIS THINGS YOU STATED EVEN A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD KNOWS A MAN IS STRONGER THAN A WOMAN PHYSICALLY
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (1/363): “The phrase ‘but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them’ means that they are superior in physical nature, attitude, status, obedience to the commands of Allaah, spending, taking care of interests, and virtue, in this world and in the Hereafter, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
WHO DOSENT KNOW MEN ARE PHYSICALLY STRONGER THAN WOMEN???? THEN YOU KEPT ON REPEATING YOURSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHICH MADE YOU SOUND MORE RIDICULOUS….
4. THEN YOU WENT FURTHER TO AGREE WITH ME THAT ALLAH IS NOT ALL KNOWING AS HE NEVER KNEW THE FUTURE WHILE HE WAS REVEALING THAT MUHAMMAD MARRY A 6 YEAR OLD CHILD…
”One must first understand that 1400 years ago was very different than now, times have changed and so have humans. ” IF ALLAH KNEW THAT TIMES WILL CHANGE AND IT WILL COME TO PAST 1400 YEARS AFTER MUHAMMAD WILL BE TAGGED A CHILD RAPIST, WHY ALLOW IT???
5. AFTER READING THIS YOUR BELOW STATEMENT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT FIRSTLY YOU DIDNT READ MY ABOVE ARTICLE, SECONDLY YOUR COMMENT WAS NOT YOURS BUT YOU COPIED IT FROM AN ISLAMIC SITE WHICH FEEDS YOU WITH HALF BAKED STORIES….
”Furthermore as to the Holy Prophet’s marriage with Aisha, something people will notice is that the completion of the marriage was done when Aisha was 9 years old, not when she was 6”
IF YOU READ MY ARTICLE YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MY NUMBER ”4” WAS ”A 50 YEAR OLD MAN CAN MARRY A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL AND DIS-VIRGIN HER AT 9YEARS OLD” LOL NEXT TIME READ VERY WELL BEFORE YOU COPY AND PASTE AND MAKE A COMPLETE FOOL OF YOURSELF
All your other points where completely irrelevant and off topic… I EXPECTED YOU TO TAKE MY POINTS IN A CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER FROM 1 – 10 AND COMPLETELY DEBUNK ALL MY CLAIMS BUT INSTEAD YOU JUST TRIED TO REINTERPRET THE MEANINGS OF ABOUT 3 THEN ADD LOTS OF IRRELEVANT TOPICS THEREBY MAKING A COMPLETE FOOL OF YOURSELF
all u can do is to spoil Islam but u are just making attempt Islam is a complete religion and no amount of your evil can stop it from growing.The words Quran is for the intelligent onece. or how will you interprets #the man kick the bucket#.u can never get it write if a well Islamic clerics did not explain what it really meant.Alquran is not like other book that can be understood even if you are not knowlegdible.
lol I understand the Quran more than your bias Quranic Teacher… The Only People Who Practices what the Quran teaches are Isis Boko Haram etc.
@ first, when I saw this, I was enraged, but I cautioned myself cos that is not the right reaction to issues like this…Just a few words for you the writer. I’m close to very sure that in the course of you trying to put this up to ‘slander’ Muslims, (I won’t say Islam, coz you’re just too irrelevant to get close to doing that)something in your mind tells you what you’re about to write against is rather rational. You just go back and read, your readers don’t need an apologists to counter your claims, instead you are the apologist who have contradicted himself…just an example; you showed an image of 7&3 being placed on thesame scale as 10. you are very correct, numerically, 7&3 is equal to 10 anytime any day, but on the other hand, can 7&3 stand in place of 10 in every other aspects aside numerical equality? An emphatic NO! I will really not blame you coz your problem is either of, or a combination of some or all of the fflg: hypocrisy, ignorance, ignoramus, feeble mindedness, myopia,cheap publicity,and …But whichever one it is, try to get a life and get a grip on yourself. Like I saw on your description, you’re a christian…y don’t you direct your energy to doing things that will improve the christian community rather than promoting hate against the muslims? It’s really not worth it! You know it’s so easy hiding behind your screen in your comfort zone putting up anything on the internet…if you really are keen on this, I personally challenge you to come out, call your audience, and I call mine, and we both dialogue this in the presence of the world. I challenge you!!! And don’t stress yourself too much…Yes I’m a muslim woman, and I’m equal to, but not thesame as a man.
Lol you Muslims are all the same thing Ignorant Hypocrites i do not blame you though 90% Of Christians are just like you ”IGNORANT” Most Christians are Ignorant of the fact that Islam was built on Top The Falsification of Christianity i am also sure you have never told your Christian friends that whether they live a holy life or not the fact that they Call themselves A Christian they are already condemned to hell because in Islam its the Only Sin Allah Can NEVER FORGIVE ITS CALLED SHIRK, ”ASSOCIATING COMPANIONS WITH ALLAH” Well i accept your Challenge
HOW THEMES FOR THE DEBATE ARE 2
1. DOES ISLAM PROMOTES VIOLENCE?
2. DOES ISLAM PROMOTES INEQUALITY AGAINST WOMEN?.
What ignorance can do to a people can not be imagined.
I sincerely wonder what whoever posts this misinformation stands to achieve. He/she should seek Allahs forgives.
LOL I AM ALREADY SERVING A LIVING GOD SO I DO NOT NEED ALLAHS FORGIVENESS
What a misconception! Your brane is too small to think for Islam, Almighty Allah has established the religion the way it is. Therefore your interlect is as a result of what u think it should be due your knowledge and experience . Islam if you must know, is not a philosophical ideas combine together, but rather the knowledge from The Supreme Master Of the Day of Judgement who created d brain we use to think.Above all, piety of a woman does not mean freedom but it is the basis for her to gain the pleasure of Allah.
The Qur’an has been interpreted the most perfect way that mankind can understand. So stop misinterpreting it to convince people negatively. Sincerely,every man on earth know that a woman is suppose to be obedient to her husband as d bread winner , and d man is expected to allow her enjoy her rights proclaimed in the Holy Book. If only you know, personal interest is not welcome in Islam but the believe on the message and acts.
lol so you agree with me Islam promotes inequality in Women??
we all know the trueth about every religion but people should be allowed to follow willingly any religion of their choice without force. religion is not politics…… GOD alone know his CHILDREN.
i don’t think y’all need to comment on this false person dat put this up because i’m not even surprise at all. People have already been doing alot of things just to put a stain on islam. Some people came out of no where and call themselves boko haram and claim to be islam just to ruin islam. Y’all will fail insha allah.
I CAN PROVE TO YOU THAT BOKO HARAM AND ISIS ARE BETTER MUSLIMS THAN YOU WILL EVER BE TILL YOU DIE
I’ll lyk to advice you that going back to your religion at least try to solve the unsolved problems that full your religion ,which cannot even be solved right there in Christianity.for more than 20century no any Christian can provide the geneiu bbl revealed by Jesus Christ. so if there should be confession in the source of your religion I.e Christianity, so how bold enough will you be to prove something wrong in ISLAAM??? today more than 50 version of bbl were produce and every church has the one he believes in. people use to say ” REMEMBER the moment you are pointing at someone with your index your thumb is pointing at you too”so I’ll like to advice you to go solve this problem and other more before coming out so say something about ISLAM or any other religion……………. ALLAH REVEALED THE QUR’AN AND HE PROTECTED IT FROM ANY ERROR,……….
Masha Allah, As it is stated in the Holy Quran; The Quran said, To the believers, to the believing men and women. We believe and we are pleased,Alhamdulilah it does not say to the disbelieving people, no one force the blasphemer’s to like our Sunnah and Religion. We love our Prophet Muhammad Sunnah cause all he did and said wasn’t by his will but Allah Subhana wata’ala’s. Lakum deenikum wal yadin
