The Rights of Women in Islam

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

you did'nt mention sons

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

of advantage ..........is your own understanding or translation.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

but by this logic “sons” (male) would be posessions too, which implies that men are not equal too?

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Yes, overall they are equal. No one is greater than another.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Of course men and women aren't 'equal.' Does being different necessarily mean being unequal?

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

It is a wrong disscussion if Man and Woman are qual?
The question is how you treat your women and how you justify your treatment through religious sanctions.

And in comparisan Muslim women are the most sufferer followed by Hindus.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Not really. Culture is different from religion.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Before Islam came to be, women had almost no rights.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

I did underline Sons in my Mssg #38.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

OK, now please tell; Is woman allowed, to possess "sons" (male) beside hoards of gold and silver, horses, cattle and well-tilled land? If not, why not she is equal to man isn't she?

If it is written in Holy Quran then I missed it somehow.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

its the yousaf ali translation.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

so what religion do you practice?

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Islam, all the way.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

^ Lb's a guy

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

lol, my mistake, a male feminist.

Re: The Rights of Women in Islam

Er, yeah...a mother pretty much owns her children, or at the very least the ties of Motherhood are not only important, but nothing can break them.

Note that women can just as well own heaps of silver, gold, cattle, etc.

You analaysis utterly fails with alternative translations:

PICKTHAL: Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode.
SHAKIR: The love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle and tilth, is made to seem fair to men; this is the provision of the life of this world; and Allah is He with Whom is the good goal (of life).
