Re: Don't work with men, Muslim clerics tell Indian women

Syeda Hameed, of the Muslim Women's Forum, said that the board needed to reflect a more "sane, moderate, realistic" view of the world. "There is nothing in the Qur'an or the Sharia law about these things. In fact one of the wives of the prophet was a businesswoman. Saying these things just makes Islam end up looking anti-women, which it is not."

Then Syeda Hameed doesn't know Islam very well because yeah some of the Mothers of the Believers were bussiness women but they conducted it from behind the veil after the order for the veil had been revealed.
The Qur'aan and Sunnah are very clear on the veil and segregation, denying well established things like this is disbelief and apostasy.
A Christian can say Islam should be reformed, a Hindu can call for Islam to be reformed, a hypocrite who calls himself a Muslim can want Islam to br reformed, because all those people don't believe Islam is a true and perfect religion from Allaah Subhanahu Wa Ta'aala, they think the Prophet's (Sal Allaahu Alaihe Wassallam) made it all up and it contains faults BUT a true Muslim, somebody who really believes Islam will never say that Islam needs reforming or updating because he believes that Islam is infallible, universal and timeless like it says it is in the Qur'aan.
It is nice to see that we still have some brothers in India who are committed to our religion, it's really disheartening seeing the Gujarati community in England, there is no concept of Pardah amongst them, even the very religious types who support beards are often seen accompanied with female family members dressed more provocatively than a Hinduess, not that Pakistanis are any better, I suppose you get good and bad people in every nationality.
