According to the judgment of the Qur’an, if a man accuses his wife of committing adultery, the<br />

wife can nullify the accusation as her testimony is accepted, consequently, the wife will not be<br />

punished.<br />

However, if the accuser is not her husband, then he has to bring four witnesses. If not, he will<br />

receive eighty lashes and his testimony will be rejected forever.<br />

Women’s Veil<br />

What the Bible Says<br />

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a<br />

woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his<br />

head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man did not<br />

come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for<br />

man. For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on<br />

her head. (1 Corinthians 11:6-10)<br />

What the Qur’an Says<br />

0 Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks<br />

(veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known so as not to be annoyed.<br />

(Qur’an, 33:59)<br />

And when you ask them (the wives of the Prophet) for anything you want, ask them from behind a<br />

curtain: that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. (Qur’an, 33:53)<br />

Commentary<br />

The Bible instructs women to cover their heads. The purpose of the covering is to show the<br />

authority of men over them because men are the image and glory of Allah while women are the<br />

glory of men! Because of this teaching, some non-Muslims think that Muslim women, who wear<br />

the veil, are ill-treated and neglected.<br />

Unlike the Bible, the Qur’an instructs women to wear the veil for their protection. The veil is one<br />

of the Islamic measures to create a righteous society and to block the roads leading to fornication<br />

and adultery. The Qur’an clarifies that the veil makes wicked men stay away from women.<br />

Furthermore, the veil purifies the heart from immoral thoughts and temptation because showing<br />

beauty may excite men’s sexual feelings. On the other hand, the Qur’an allows women to show<br />

their beauty to other women, their husbands and some close relatives in addition to children.<br />

Marriage<br />

What the Bible Says<br />

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall<br />

marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit<br />

adultery.<br />

His disciples say unto him. If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But<br />

he (Jesus) said unto them. All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For<br />

there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some<br />

eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves<br />

eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it (Matthew<br />

19:9-12) (KJV)<br />

If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers<br />

and sisters-yes, even his own life-he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)<br />

Those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. (1 Corinthians<br />

7:28)<br />

What the Qur’an Says<br />

But monasticism’ they invented. We ordained it not, but (they sought it) only to please Allah<br />

therewith and they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those<br />

among them who believed, their reward; but many of them are rebellious transgressors. (Qur’an,<br />

57:27)
