Last changed: September 13, 2007 God declares: "And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-Repeated (Verses) and the Grand Qur'an"(15:87) God declares about His Final Book Holy Qur'an:<If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the Command is with Allah in all things! do not the believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the Right)?....>13:31 <Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth
do prostrate themselves to Allah-with good-will or in spite of
themselves: So do their shadows in the mornings and
evenings>13:15 Then, you don't have any other option but to bow to the command of God and accept Islam? Why should a man or a woman do a loss making business, knowing fully well? God Almighty Allah calls you to Read Holy Qur'an which leads you to success and to Heaven. Do you want to lose this opportunity? Is anyone waiting for death to come all of a sudden and then there is no chance to go back and do this job? Why the Day of Judgment?: God (Allah) answers:<That Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts (good or evil acts or earnings); And verily Allah is swift in calling to account>14:51. How Secure Are You? God informs<It is those who believe and mix not their beliefs with wrong-that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance." <<They accepted it and became the warriors of it though they fought for many years to destroy the same! Find out who they were?>> God informs us through Holy Prophet Muhammad (s): <They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say : "They are a hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women in their courses and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, you may approach them as ordained for you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean> 2:222 About Feeding the Baby<The mothers shall give suck to their offspring for two whole years, for him who desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation. And if you decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no sin on you, provided you pay (the foster-mother) what you agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what you do>2:233. Marrying four women? God instructs men : <If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three or four; But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which your right hands possess. That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice>4:3 This instruction
was given by God to the Prophet, after the battle of Uhud, when the muslim
community were left with many orphans, widows and some women captives of
war (pow's) from the enemy side. So, there must be some way out to solve
their problem. God gave the solution so that the future of these
women did not be sorrowful. To protect their interests and do
justice is given importance over here. But if you fear, you are
unable to do justice to the orphans, marry only one. Before Qur-an's laws
existed, people used to marry unlimited women without any obligation to
their rights and fear of God. It was a carefree society.
But the laws of Holy Qur'an aim at rooting out all evil practices -
whether against orphans, women and other weaker sections or against God
and His Religion. |

Islam looks unattractive from outside but only Islam offers the real strong set of beliefs and an elaborate true lifestyle to overcome any difficulties and stressful conditions. That is why Muslims don't have to attend to a special course outside Islamic Guidelines to counter the life's difficult situations. God gave us all the required things to face different difficult situations, in Islam. So all women, young and old are most welcome to find out their great place inside the domain of Islam.
The Sweetness and Truth of Islam belongs to the discoverer. If you take one example of those who want to buy fish, go to (fish) market, bear with the smell of fish. But the taste of well cooked dish of fish is something that makes one to yearn more of that. Those with malicious propaganda against Islam have spread the bad smell (against Islam by hurling false charges against God Almighty Allah's Religion; can you imagine someone doing like this?) This bad smell is not of Islam. This is emanating from those devils and their wicked actions who are out to destroy your life by robbing you the benefits and Guidance of Islam. They are saying this and that terrible false things against Allah and can you imagine if Allah is to call them to justice, can they stand before Him in the presence of His Majesty? Imagine even standing before the human judges/juries, subject to intense questioning which can leave a person mentally upset.
Do they want to taste God's wrath by hurling false accusations against Islam that Islam discriminates against women in inheritance and dress code and other matters? You will find out after a deep probe into their accusations and the study of Allah's words (Holy Qur'an) and Prophet Mohammad's (peace be upon him) Holy Hadith (Traditions) that men and women have been given their roles and responsibilities and their reward in the end of the Day is Heaven which is more important than anything the world offers. For example if you spent whole your life being a celebrity, you did never probed into the meaning, responsibility from God Almighty Allah and reason of your existence on this earth and due to this failure, in the end Allah sent you to Hell Fire, so what is the use of all those awards (the glittering ceremonies, beachfront villas and so many other benefits the world offers because you did something big in their view and assessment but in the sight of God Almighty Allah that is not even worth the ash)?

If a Physician declares a person is dead, based on his knowledge and condition of the (sick) person, who will contest it? When a man is dead, that is due to the decision of God. What can the Doctor do other than declaring this fact to his relatives? Now, when God declares that Holy Qur'an is His Final Guidance and Muhammad is His Final Prophet for all mankind, who would like to contest God's Decision? God
declares in the Holy Qur'an : "The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His
Will)...." (3:19) Words Can Change The

The World, Then Explore What The Holy Qur'an-The Words of God Could
Do To You And The Mankind? God warns us not to reject Him: <The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: That is the straying far, far (from the goal). Don't you see that Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth? If He so will, He can remove you and put (in your place) a new Creation? Nor is that for Allah any great matter>15:18-20.
Hadith (sayings) of Final Prophet Muhammad (S): <<Increase the remembrance of the destroyer of all pleasures (that is Death)>> <<The Grave is the First Stage of the journey into Eternity>> <<To Love him (or her), who loves Allah and hate him (or her) who hates Allah, and to keep your tongue employed in repeating the name of Allah. To do unto all men (or women) as you would wish to be done unto you and to reject for others what you would reject for yourself>> <<It is Better to sit alone than to be in the company
of the bad; and it is better to sit with the good than to be alone and it
is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent and
silence is better than bad words>> |

Are you still unsure? Do you still want to miss it out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents in the Holy Qur'an-The Final Book of Almighty God Allah: God warns mankind to revere the parents: <And be good to the parents and the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor kin and the alien neighbor and the companion in a journey and the way farer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful> (Holy Qur'an Ch.4, Verse.36) Parents in the Hadith (sayings or traditions) of the Final Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) : By the following Saying (Hadith) of Mohammad -The Final Prophet and the Messenger of Allah, we learn in a most beautiful way the Status given by God for women (mothers): <<A man came to the Messenger (Muhammad- Peace be upon him) - and said : "O Allah's Messenger, who of mankind is most entitled to the best of my companionship?" The Prophet said: "Your Mother" The man said : "Then who?" The Prophet said : "Your Mother" The man said : "Then who?" The Prophet said : "Your Mother" The Man said :"Then who?" The Prophet said :
"Your Father". The above Hadith (saying of the Prophet Muhammad- peace be upon him) shows that mother is the most revered and important personality for mankind. Father's position comes only later which is clear from the above Hadith. <Paradise lies at the feet of mothers> The above saying (Hadith) of the Holy Prophet really means this: By serving our mother, we can get entry to the Heaven in the next life. In one incident, Holy Prophet is reported to have prevented a person from participating in the Holy Struggle (Jihad) for the sake of God, whose mother was still living. He ordered him to serve his mother first which was better for him than to participate in Jihad (and get the ultimate result, that is entry to the Heaven of God by doing an act pleasing to Him). Nonetheless with God, Jihad has the most important grade above all forms of worship prescribed by Him for His True Believers. To lay down ones life for the One he loves is the ultimate part of ones achievement and the proof of ones faith in God. Man loves his life very much. It is better to mention here that none will be a true believer, until and unless, Love of the Final Prophet Muhammad is superior to the love for his or her own self. Because that is the test and price of our faith, as fixed by God. But it is not to be forgotten that God's Love is above all things. These are the grades fixed by God Himself. When everything, including our life belongs to God, who can set the price for it other than the Owner or Master Himself? <God's pleasure is in father's pleasure; and God's displeasure is in father's displeasure> (Hadith) Husband and Wife In Islam: Said the Prophet Muhamad (S): <Shall I tell you which is the best of Treasures? A good wife. She is pleasing to her husband's eye, obedient to his word and watchful over his possessions in his absence> <Virtuous wife is a man's best treasure> <A Muslim must not hate his wife; And if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, he will be pleased with another which is good> <The most perfect Muslims are those whose disposition is best; And the best of you are they who behave best with their wives> <The Best of you (men-folk) are those who treat their wives best. He who has two wives and is inclined wholly towards one of them will have half his body paralyzed on the Day of Judgment> Prophet Muhammad did not tell anything for the sake of a joke or just for teaching some meaningless beliefs. Actually all of what he said is informed to him by God Almighty Allah. Divorce: Said the Final Prophet Muhammad: <The lawful thing which God Almighty Allah hates most is divorce> The Greatest Crimes: Said the Final Prophet Muhammad (s): <The Greatest Crimes are to associate another with God (Almighty Allah), To Vex your father and mother, To murder your own species, to commit suicide, and swear to a lie> Some other Ahadith (Plural of Hadith) mention other kinds of sins also in addition to the above sins. <The world is your wealth- and of it the best of all wealth is a virtuous woman> Role of Men and women assigned by God : <Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard....>4: 34 <<Humility and courtesy are acts of piety. Good conduct is half of faith. The most lovable of you are those who are best in behavior>> << A gentle word is charity>> <<Be courteous. Sit with the poor and the humble, this
will exalt you in the sight of God and save you from pride and
arrogance>> |

Women among the non-muslims ask : Do Muslim women have any freedom of action and thoughts?
Answer : O.K. Let us take an example of a game, say football. Under what conditions (regulations) do they play the game? Don't they have a fixed boundary and anything that goes out of the boundary is considered as null and void? Is it not the practice and part of the game to have a referee to oversee the game and judge the actions of the players and throw out those who do not play the game according to the regulations? Life of man and woman is more important than a game which would last for about a couple of hours. This life leads us into the Eternal Life and so, we must take such care of ourselves that everything could be sacrificed for the success for the Eternal Goal and the Life. If we are not going to happy over there, then all happiness, luxury, wealth of this life is going to be like a mirage. All these will be the things of the past. We must look forward to the luxury and pleasure of future permanent world, which starts after death.
Then, with this fact at the background, if you read the Holy Qur-an (the Book of Laws and Guidance of God applicable to our daily life and the Eternal one, you will find out that either men or women are bound by certain laws and regulations and if they break it, they will have to pay the penalty. It may be in this world or in the next permanent world. God may pardon our faults and sins, if we seek His pleasure and forgiveness by doing such acts that conform to His Laws and Guidance (as given to us in Holy Qur-an). Women like men are given certain permits within whose parameters, they can lead the life of dignity, real pleasure, success, peace and safety and security in this world and the Hereafter. Islam does not prevent them from having their own (exclusive) colleges (where anything that is not against Islam is permitted), educational, vocational centers, hospitals, banks (without interest), art and craft centers, etc. They can also do business of their own, teach, be medical doctors catering to the needs of women and children, etc. Men can't prevent them from enjoying what God has permitted them to have. Both are God's Servants and they must have to be within the limits of God's Laws to be successful. Otherwise, they will be considered as criminals by God even though they may have millions of fans among the masses. If you are not on God's side, then don't expect that God is your side too. Leaving God and His path=falling from Grace and opening the way for His punishment!
Who will want to climb up to the peak of a mountain and then fall deep down the valley? But declining to accept and apply the laws of God are much more dangerous than this act. Because man dies once only and the pain will be caused once. But the pain and the suffering for defying Almighty God Allah's Laws (Holy Qur-an's Laws) will accompany him or her in the permanent Eternal World. So, we all must be sensible and not let our passions override our wisdom and God given path of Islam. Let us all pray to Almighty Allah to success in this world and the permanent world after death; (Aameen).

God Declares : We have enjoined on man Kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is ( a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, He says : "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be Grateful for Your Favor which you have bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents and that I may work righteousness such as You May approve; And be Gracious to me in my issue. Truly Have I turned to You and truly do I submit (to You) in Islam.
