In This Day And Age Muslim Women Can In Many Cases Be Seen

Sadly, views of people in some of countries nowadays is still as foggy and limited as the people’s views thousand years ago. Having studied these laws, we learned that we need to respect women and honour them. They are very well deserved to be treated fairly, and to be looked up to. Hopefully in the near future, the legal system in Muslim countries will be changed in a positive way to foster the roles of women in the society. Women should have more freedom and should not considered as a tool of labor or a slave for

Throughout centuries of human existence, women have been deemed as inferior to men in multiple different cultures and religions. Men have developed a norm to be the individual who carries out duties to help maintain a stable life for himself and the family in which he is providing for. Because of this fundamentalist approach towards how society should be, women’s rights have been suppressed throughout political, social, and cultural actions. The Islamic religion in particular, is fond of abusing the rights of women and empowering the rights of men in such a way that it has created a permanent existence of conflict within countries who follow Islam. In fact, in the Quran it states that women must have lesser authority than men, therefore their

In all areas of life and society the treatment and well being of women have always been challenged. In many religions the role and status of its women are usually overwhelmed by the actions and roles of its men this inequality of religions between male and female allows these feelings and ideology of which sex is superior or inferior to bleed into a society’s culture thus shaping their treatment of their men and women.

There are many political, religious, and cultural factors that shape the lives of Islamic women many of them are completely different than factors in the lives of American women. Islam is one of the world’s fastest growing religions; however, Brooks argues that “Islam’s holiest texts have been misused to justify the repression of women, and how male pride and power have warped the original message of this once liberating faith.” The book also shows these factors have slowly been taking away women’s rights, rather than furthering them.

In 2001 women declared a separate entity from her male guardian. In 2002 women started receiving secular education. In 2011 women received the right to vote. All women are well educated and now have the right to vote, but they are still subject to male dominance under extremist view of Islamic law. They still have to be escorted by a male guardian in public. Women are not allowed to interact with men they aren’t related to. The main problem they fact today is sexual exploitation from being sold into prostitution or human tracking for cheap labor in poor working conditions. It’s almost as if they went backwards all the rights women had well before western countries, has been taken away and now they desire to gain them

Historically, when Islam emerged in 600 BC, the religion liberated women from the many oppressive laws of the time. However, the present

However, the most western women think that Muslim women need to get free from their cultural barriers, which is not the reality. Women in Islam just need an equality, and they need to learn their religions, so no one can tell them what is right for them. In the book “Do Muslim Women Need Saving?” discuss the idea that world thinks that Muslin women need savings from their partners in order to live freely and able to access their rights, but this is not what Muslim women recommends. Muslim women are a source of strength to fight for injustice and not the cause of it. Women in Islam does not ask for rescue from their religion, but to get the respect and understanding while staying in her religion and

Women are under men’s control. A women more specifically a wife, is considered her husband’s property and sex object. If a women chooses to not obey what her husband asks of her, he is then no longer responsible for supporting her, until she is ready to step up and fulfil her duties as her husband demands. Women came from man, so there for women has to obey man. Men hold a primary power in both Christianity and Islam, property is inherited only to and from man. Women did not have enough power to become owners of anything. Women was created from man’s rib so why would women be able to have any power in being able to make decisions, own property or do anything remotely useful for that

In today's society women are given less opportunity then men. However that is not the case in some countries, such as the middle eastern nations. Muslims women are seen as tools that live under some appressive dictatorship ruled by their husbands, and fathers. Muslim men expects women to raise the children, to carry out the responsibilies around the house, and to be a good wife. The next few topics will explore the ideas of women out ruled by men, why women are more concealed in appearances and the religious practices benefit the male.

The topic of Islam has been a very controversial one in past years, and more specifically there have been a lot of misconceptions regarding Muslim women. Islamophobia or the dislike and prejudice towards Islam and Muslims has been a phenomenon the media in the United States and Europe have been infamous for exacerbating. Stemming from this prejudice towards Muslims, women in Islam have been often targeted and labeled as "oppressed" or given fewer rights than men in Islam. When referring to the facts from the Islamic Holy Scripture, the Quran and the teachings and sayings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad we find this is far from the truth.

Woman’s rights have always been controversial. Even today one can see the issues there are, for example the wage gap in the western world. There are still places today that face bigger issues than that like woman not having any rights at all. In the Muslim culture and many others, the man dominates the woman. This seems to be a principle the world was raised on but is changing for equality. Afsaruddin explains, “He proceeds to explain that the qawwamun in this verse means that men have been granted authority over women and that the men have been granted greater rights over women by virtue of the fact that they pay the bridal gift (mahr) to them. Men also regard to general discipline and power over women.” (Afsaruddin 92-93). She talks about the man and how he reigns dominance

Despite some popular images of Muslim women as repressed and oppressed, many women today are actively affirming the rights and responsibilities that they believe the Qur'an affords to them. The Holy Book affirms that men and women are created from one soul to be partners to each other, that males and females have the same religious responsibilities, and that both genders will receive like rewards on the day of judgment.

However, it is not only the issue of keeping with their faith, but the lack of knowledge or ignorance of their rights, they are not aware of the notion of living as an independent, responsible women who are capable to performing various duties like the men, because they are convinced of their religious believe or tormented by the accepted opinions of their society. Those who have had the chance to rebel against

To sum up, Muslim women are not in need of saving, this implies that they are in need of rescue compared to Western societies. Their conditions to which they live are the things that are in need of aid. Based on their state of poverty, and militarism are the oppressions that need to be assisted. The cultural traits and identities of Muslim women symbolize who they are as people. Muslim women need to have liberty from anatomical coercion based on global discrimination and consequences of

The first finds it difficult to develop in accordance with the rest and those restrictions are mainly imposed by the religion. It refuses to take into account the importance of what we call modern. Through the history we have witnessed several transitions to modernization and often exactly religion suffer throughout that process, since it is based on constant believes which are hard to convert to a new era. In world full of opportunities, there is gender segregation in some Islamic countries. In Sudan, for example, in public buses women must stand separately in the back. Their existence and everyday living depends on their guardian who accompanies and literally possesses them. The basic rights are taken away and replaced with an interpretation of the divine law that they respect. In Saudi Arabia women are not allowed to drive because it would expose them to “temptation” and lead to “social chaos”. Meanwhile, in the West emerged the need to create new laws and conventions in order to achieve gender equality. Women were given rights to vote, starting with the Scandinavian countries – Finland (1906), Norway (1913), Denmark (1915), (successors of the first two, apart from Europe – New Zealand (1893) and Australia (1902)). However, we cannot neglect the facts of the past. Islam was the first religion to give a woman the right for inheritance. While Arabic world had strong presence of women in their political life, for example prophet Mohammad’s wife Aisha, in the West they were not influential at
