Re: APPOINTMENT OF A WOMAN TO CONDUCT MUSLIM MARRIAGES . GREAT NEWS FOR WOMEN'S RI
hmmm...seems like the way nomuslims encouraging this concept of so-called female muslim being MAAZUN (as it is forbidden in Islam for females to give Azan)
i am sorry but i think i m being naive here
so do females also become Pope, Pandits, jewish priests, or get to the highest positions in other religions?
and do they become very frequently?
ps. avoid relating to some mythical stories. and it will be great if no-muslims talk specifically about female role in their respective faith.

Remeber it was man who wrote Koran, hadiths and sunnahs and not the hand of ALlah. Can we trust men who wish to keep us suppressed to truly interpret correctly what Allah stated and all the words of Allah
the Quran was dictated to the Prophet PBUH by Allah through His angels... with a statement like that you entirely dismiss the Prophet's role in Islam, imply that he was corrupt and writing down untruths, and deny that it was Allah who sent down the Quran to His Prophet... in other words, you completely do NOT regard or believe in the first Kalma which states that There is only one God and Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is his last messenger. this is a basic tent of Islam... how can you call yourself a Muslim if you deny this? have you even read the Quran? seriously though... pick up an English translation of it and read through it yourself and you will understand the rights women are given in Islam.
i think its great that women are allowed to conduct Nikkah's but i don't think it gives greater status to a nikkah or a lesser one either... so its a woman, so what? how is it so mind-blowing and revolutionary?
just because SOME people have culturally corrupted Islam to their own needs and wants instead of following the religion truly, doesn't mean ALL Muslim woman are oppressed and following Islam by force. there are two sides to every story- whether you want to admit that or not is your prerogative, but not admitting it won't change it. look at the whole instead of spitting out constant vitriol and hatred about men and society and most importantly about Islam.

I will probably get alot of criticism for what I am bout to say but nevertheless I feel it is true.
There is a reason why men have been created stronger both physically and mentally than women. There are certain things men are allowed to do which women cannot in Islam. For example, a woman must pray behind the man, 2 female witnesses equal a male witness, etc.
Allah has done all this for a reason. After all, noone is a greater planner than Allah (SWT) himself. By saying that there is now a woman who can perform nikkah in no way means things are getting better or that we are being granted more "freedom." Yes I am a woman myself but in no way does it make me happy knowing this. In fact, it makes me feel sad knowing that women are not content enough with the role Islam has provided for them. For what reason do these women feel the need to go out and stand shoulder to shoulder with men? Yes, some of us live in the Western world and that is something we are required to do on a daily basis, but once we go home and pray or enter that mosque, it is behind the curtain, behind the men we pray, not shoulder to shoulder with them. Let's not forget out religous roots.
In the Quran, and I will cite the ayah for whomever is interested, it says that the time will come when in Islam people think they are doing good when in fact it is causing destruction. On Youtube the other day, me and my brother were watching women leading prayers, giving khutbas and shaking hands with men in the mosque as if it were something to be proud about. When Allah has commanded something, why do we insist on changing it? Why do women still insist on being equal to men?
Islam is a religion of moderation and in no way does it make women to be inferior to men. So the lady can perform nikkah and get people married, but what will she answer to Allah?
Just my 2 cents, but questions and comments are most welcome.
well said. i have had experience of islamic extremists who were basically fundamentalists but i am witnessing extremism in being progressive.
