In Islam?

Well, what i feel is although Islam has raised the rights, the image of women but It still keeps (at some places slight and at some places big) differences in the rights of Men over Women.

Islam gives the Women respect, yeah thatz great, thatz what a woman need.

Islam raised her image high by honoring/awarding her from the MaaN Kay QadmooN Talay Jannat concept.
But!!!
Only if she would be a mother.
Am i right?

Anyways by going further in continuation i find “if there would be allowed Sajdah other than God then Woman would be ordered to do it for her husband”…A Hadith!..This Is Why husband is called Mijazi Khuda i think.

If The gender which is awarded with the gift of Jannat QadmooN Talay, if allowed, would be ordered to do Sajdah another gender then whose image is raised more?
Whose image is more stronger?

Plus Would there be something like Hoors for pious Muslima as well in Heaven?

Ppl Please try to Understand Me.
If i said something wrong, something sinful due to my little knowledge then i beg Allah To Forgive Me.

But ppl i wanna make my concept clear, most probably i m wrong totally wrong, but these questions bother me many times, i wanna get rid of these questions.
Can someone help me please, by references from hadiths from Quranic Ayahs.
Any logical proofs.

Nor a disbeliever, neither a Bigot but willing to know and discover more and more about Islam The Only True Religon.

aoa
if u wanna learn more 'bout islam pls check this site 'islamic.org.uk'.
2ndly u have qouted two hadiths.
actually these two hadiths neither raises the image of one gender nor degrading the other gender. Actually for social setup Family (ppl livin' in one house) is the unit.
if the basic unit is perfect then the whole
setup will be perfect. so in this context islam tells the young generation that if u have ur mother then its ur janat.im adding another hadith it says if ones mother has passed away, then his janat is under the feet of his Aunt (mothers Sister). if his aunt isn't there then any of her mother's friend can be considered for same reward.
As far as Sajda to men is concerned it is to keep a wife's life on track. in this context thers a hadith saying for its n't compultion for a wife to cook for her husband, but only if she wish to do so.
pls correct me if im wrong.
thanx

always be positive

Asalamu Alaikum Conservative Girl,

The rights of women and men are not the same in Islam. Both play different roles, and therefore have different responsibilites and rights. This is not to say that they are not equal, because they are. What differs, is what is expected of each in order to maintain a healthy happy Muslim household.

The woman's primary duty is to nurture her family. She is responsible for this and once this responsibility has been fufilled then she may also get involved in other things, eg. working outside of the home.

For men, their primary responsibility is to financially support his family. He has been appointed the Ameer of the family, and so as a result, he does have to be listened to.

Now at first, I too thought that this was kind of unfair, but as I thought about it, this does make more sense. A woman is not always in a state to take charge of the family, she does have times when she cannot take these responsibilities, eg. in the final months of pregnancy, during child labour, and the period after birth, during her period, etc.

The man can always lead the prayer in the home, always be in a state to make a rational decision, etc.

Now, obviously we can say that there are many woman who are more capable then men. And I totally agree. So, when those women marry, they should pick someone they will be able to respect as their Ameer, and not some bozo.

Just my thoughts,
W'salam

I would like to correct you all here by telling you that the rights of men and women are the same in Islam. Only thing that is different is their roles. They both have been created equal with different roles to fill.

Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow,
to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure4 of Allah. that is the supreme felicity. (Quran 9:72)

And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;- (Quran 24:4)

Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable.
(Quran 24:26)

For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah.s praise,- for them has
Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.
(Quran 33:35)

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. (Quran 33:58)

There is a hadith which I am sure you have heard of. One of the companions asked Prophet Mohammed (saaw) that who is the most deserving of our love, respect and kindness he said “Your Mother”, “Your Mother”, Your Mother" and the fourth time he said “Your Father”.

I think the sister here (conservative girl) has been put on this thinking pattern because of Shaytans whispering and taking her away from the right path. The Shaytan has made her question her own belief and therefore I think she needs a lot of reading to do on her own as well to know what Islam exactly is.

There are a lot of things which, when you read, you will think that it favours men. But other things which you read will favour women. The things that supposedly favour men everyone knows about them. But the things that favour women I will try to point out here to the best of my recollection.
1)Women dont have to pray in the mosque while it is obligatory on men to pray in the mosque

2)Women are forgiven Hajj if they have no Mahram (men she cannot marry in Islam).

3)Women dont have to make up paryers they miss during their periods (menses).

4)The well known fact that the Heaven lays beneath the feet of the mother, or if she is not alive then her sister.

5)The aboove hadith I quoated in the paragraph.

This is all that I remember now. I dont remember if there are more or not but this is what I am able to recollect. If I have said anything wrong then that is because of Shaytan and may Allah (swt) forgive me and not let it go to your minds.

Jhazak Allahu Khair.
