” Did he say, “I seek refuge in Allah from the fitnah (trial) of women?” Did he say, “Astaghfirullah – I seek refuge in Allah! Go home and cook!” No. And of course, he didn’t go to them and say, “Yo, what’s up? You got AOL?” No. Here are the two extremes. ”

As I read the above statement, a bit of hope was replaced that was lost a long time ago. Alhumdulilah, that there are men of knowledge whom Allah has blessed with an understanding of the many issues women within the Ummah are facing?

How often is the excuse of women being a fitna for the man used in relation to many Muslim men denying their muslim sister the rights that Allah & His Messenger have given them? This is proving to be a death sentence for some sisters. Meaning: their faith slowly is snatched away as they are left wondering why Islam allows such horrid treatment. Yet, they do not know that it is not Islam, but the failure of the Ummah to understand Islam.

Thank you so much for highlighting the fact that the Quran sets the example of gender relations. Thank you for making it a point to elaborate on the many challenges that Muslim women are combatting. May Allah reward you my dear brother and all those involved for this much needed and beneficial article.
