Women Leading Prayer - The Deeper Issue

[828]

Re: Women Leading Prayer - The Deeper Issue

828 – It is quite simple. Certain things are wrong in Islam. You can say they are right until you are blue in the face - it still doesnt change the religion. If a person doesnt like the rules/laws/examples/commands of Islam, so be it. By changing them or contradicting them yet saying they are still Islamic - is ridiculous to say the least.

There are many things people can see as right or they can represent it in a way to support their argument. The truth remains we have the Quran we have the Sunnah - so why go around shifting/changing things to suit our ways?

Bottom line - leading prayers is not about equality. Ive never lead prayers in all my life, but Im just as equal to any guy.

But MQ; there is no evidence that this act is categorically forbidden. If its not forbidden: it means that God either forgot about it, didn’t know it was going to happen, or knew and didn’t want to reveal an edict forbidding it. This Amina Wadud act is not changing or contradicting Islam, it is contradicting cultural rituals. Why would God be against this?

Re: bottom line. You are wrong unfortunately. You are not equal if you are not given the right to lead prayers. Equality is a myth and illusion in this stream of islam. That’s like a women saying: i cannot vote, i cannot work, i cannot leave my house…but dammit i’m as equal to any guy!!! Does that make sense to you? apparently it does..maybe u can explain this inherent contradiction.

I say that Muslims who have this perspective completely drop the word “equal” from their dictionary.

Voting, working, leaving the confines of ur house and taking leadership positions are all natural human acts. They have nothing to do with ur gender and everything with u being a human being. This is not about being equal to man…its about becoming fully human.
