Be mindful in yourtreatment of women!This venerated position of women was imprinted on the psyche of every maleof the society. This was achieved through equating the service and happinessof parents to great and meritorious acts like striving in the Path of Allah andHijrah (migration) for the sake of Allah. Such was the zeal with which the oncemale dominated society treated and served their women that a companiononce carried his mother on his back to allow for her to fulfil the rights of theHaj (Pilgrimage) and yet thereafter acknowledging that he had not fulfilledthe right of her one ‘turning’ towards him as an infant out of concern for hiswell being.The Noble Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him) also said, ‘Among theMuslims the most perfect, as regards his faith, is the one whose character isexcellent, and the best among you are those who treat their women well’(Hadith-Tirmidhi). In another narration it is mentioned ‘I command you totake good care of the women’ (Hadith-Bukhari) and also, ‘Do not beat Allah’sfemale servants (i.e women)’ (Hadith-Abu Da’ud, Ibn Majah). The NobleMessenger of Allah(peace be upon him) also said ‘How does anyone of youbeat his wife as he beats his camel and then embraces her?’ (Hadith-Al-Bukhari)Based on the above some scholars like Ata bin Rabah (May Allah’s mercy bewith him) stated, the fact that the Noble Messenger of Allah(pbuh) neverresorted to the permission of beating and said, ‘He who beats his wife is not agood person’ (Hazimi, al-Itibar)From the above we learn that Islam encourages the kind treatment of womenand forbids in both word and spirit, their abuse in any form, be it physical,verbal, emotional and psychological. It therefore stands to reason that rape issomething that Islam condemns in the strongest terms and, in fact a rapist inan Islamic country would be sentenced to death by the Islamic courtsIt was this type of thought that permeated the psyche of Muslim societiesfrom the time of the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) until thisday and any behaviour to the contrary by Muslims today is nothing other thantheir deviation from the principles advocated by Islam and the lifestyle of theNoble Messenger of Allah(pbuh). Issues like honour killings and spousalabuse in Muslim societies which are often highlighted in the media and forwhich Islam is criticised are practices that have their place in culture and haveno basis in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. Shariah always has an ‘inner’ as well as an‘outer’ mechanism that are used to achieve its objectives. In the issuediscussed, if the psyche of the society could be described as the ‘inner’mechanism to allow for women to be respected and honoured then it must besaid as an ‘outer’ mechanism Islam advocates the institution of Hijab so thatwomen are judged for what they are truly worth and not merely objects formen’s gratification. As much as the media always makes an issue of andmaligns the treatment of women in Islam it is interesting to note that Islam isthe fastest growing religion in the world (Guiness book of records) and in thewest, in particular, most reverts are women who have no hesitation indonning the hijab. In fact, they do so with much pride.In Islam rape and all other forms of women abuse are reviled. In fact TheNoble Messenger of Allah (pbuh) discouraged and penalised adultery,fornication and rape.Wa’il ibn Hujr reports of an incident when a woman was raped. When he therapist was later positively identified the Messenger of Allah (peace be uponhim ) said “Stone him to death.” (Hadith-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud).May Almighty Allah Ta’ala grant us the wisdom, courage and moral strengthto uphold the rights and dignity of our women in society …ameen.We appreciate feedback on our articles.

Imaan:From Weakness to Strength via Sabr....From “Beyond Education” collection – Nissar Nadiadwala’s driven out overnight. The Qur'an testifies with the example ofEditorial for Young MuslimsBani Israel's victory that Sabr is one of the main qualities thatSabr enjoys a top privilege in Islam. The Qur'an mentions it turns an entire Nation from a weak society to a power packedbetween 80-90 times in different styles. In Kitabul Ilm of Sahih community. That is what Moosa (a.s.) said to his people, PrayBukhari, Ibn Masood (r.a.)is quoted: As Sabru Nisful Emaan, for help from Allah and bear with patience, for, the earthwhile Yaqeen is complete emaan. Scholars explain this term belongs to Allah to give a heritage to such of His servants as Heas-Sabru nisful emaan that half of Islamic commandments are pleases. Surah al-Ar'af ch 7, verse 128. The community wasbased on Sabr! If a believer observes patience then he can about to lose sabr when Moosa further said to them: It may beimplement 50 percent of Shariah, and if he is impatient then that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make youhe may fail to implement a large number of commandments.inheritors in the earth... says the 129th verse of the sameSurah.Scholars prayed a lot for sabr. In Surah Barkarah, verse 250,the translation says: Our Lord! Pour on us Sabr and make our The Bani Israel though they were rebellious and sinners yetfeet firm (in the battle) and help us against those who reject they had people who showed extreme patience and that isthe faith. why Allah appointed leaders among them giving themguidance till they persevered with Sabr and continued to haveHow can you be firm without Sabr? In the battle you lose your faith, says in Surah as-Sajdah chapter 32, verse 24. Allah gavemen, you face injury, you fear being killed, yet you continue them political leadership and religious leadership as well. Outbeing there because it is Sabr which makes you firm that is of the 25 Prophets mentioned by name in the Qur'an, a largewhy the above dua has "Pour on us Sabr..." The magicians who number of them were from Bani Israel. Prophets like Dawoodaccepted Islam after their magic was over powered by and Suleman were Kings as well, peace be upon them. TheMoosa's Miracle requested Allah, “Pour out on us Sabr.” It was Bani Israel turned into a super power of their time whenwhen the death was close upon them.Prophet Dawood routed the Palestinians and King Sulemanwas feared by many rulers of his times. Sabr is a quality thatThose who desire the help of Allah are also told in this verse transforms not only an individual but an entire communityand other verses of Surah Bakarah. Seek the help of Allah into a strong Nation.through Sabr and Salah.Sabr is a source of strength. It gives immense psychologicalstrength too. Recall the situation when our Prophet (pbuh)and Abu Bakr (r.a.) were in the cave and the enemies were soclose to them that they just had to look at their own toes andwould spot the two men. Abu Bakr (r.a.) feared but Rasullulah(pbuh) assured him. What is your opinion about those twowhen the third is Allah? The verse number 40, of Surah Toubahwas revealed commemorating the confidence of the Prophet(pbuh) in Allah and it was an immense display of Sabr.Thousands of years ago another Prophet (pbuh) wasrewarded for sabr, who stood on the bank of the sea with noway to escape and his enemies within his sight.It was here that Prophet Moosa (a.s.), when questioned by hismen who were afraid, showed immense patience and rejectedtheir fear saying “KALLA! My Lord is with me and He will guideme.” The word Kallah means "Impossible!" NOT POSSIBLEthat my enemy will catch me. Then he said "My Lord is withme.” Pharaoh had a huge well equipped army but Moosa hadAllah. With whom is Allah? The Qur'an says multiple times.Allah is with those who show Patience. Moosa (a.s.) showedpatience and Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) showed patience,so Allah justified their confidence in Him and helped thembecause He is with those who are patient.I Met Money and Said" You Are Just A Piece of Paper "Money Smiled & Said, "Of Course,But I Haven’t Seen A Dust Bin For Me Yet!”A Tongue Has No Bones.But It Can Break A Heart.It Can Also Be A Pillar For BuildingA Broken Heart!These days Muslim Nations are politically weak.
