Equality of Men and Women

My brothers and sisters everywhere! Islamic law [Shari'ah] -that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) sent down to His Messenger Muhammad - came to announce that women (exactly like men) are full human beings. Women (like men) are therefore required to follow the way appointed by Allah.

A woman (like a man) is therefore obligated with all three degrees of this religion: Islam (outward submission to Allah), Iman (inward faith in Allah), and Ihsan (perfection of worship of Allah).

Islam (outward submission to Allah)

It is thus required for every woman to testify that there is none deserving worship but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger; to pray; to give charity; to fast; and to make a pilgrimage to Allah's House if she has the means.

Iman (inward faith in Allah and the unseen [Al Ghaib])

It is likewise required for every woman to believe in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in Allah's decree (and that the good and evil consequences thereof are from Allah).

Ihsan (perfection of worship of Allah)

It is likewise required for every woman to worship Allah as if she sees Him. For although she cannot see Allah, she must believe that He sees whatever she does in secret and in public.

Women (exactly like men) have been commanded with these three levels of the religion (Islam, Iman, and Ihsan).

NIQAB DAY 8th MARCH 2010

After the ban of hijab in public schools, the road of Islamophobia goes through the ban on burqa. The next station can be any topic like a ban on Ramadan fasting in public schools for health security reasons, but once again health will not be the true reason.
 "Why do Muslim women  cover their heads?"
 
This question is one which is asked by Muslim and non-Muslim alike. For many women it is the truest test of being a Muslim.
The answer to the question is very simple - Muslim women observe hijab and niqab (covering the head and the body) because Allah has told them to do so.

"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed..."

Other secondary reasons include the requirement for modesty in both men and women. Both will then be evaluated for intelligence and skills instead of looks and sexuality.
 
"We want to stop men from treating us like sex objects, as they have always done.We want them to ignore our appearance and to be attentive to our personalities and mind. We want them to take us seriously and treat us as equals and not just chase us around for our bodies and physical looks."
 
A Muslim woman who covers herself is making a statement about her identity. Anyone who sees her will know that she is a Muslim and has a good moral character. Muslim women who cover are filled with dignity and self esteem; they are pleased to be identified as a Muslim woman. As a chaste, modest, pure woman, she does not want her sexuality to enter into interactions with men in the smallest degree. A woman who covers herself is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to be brought out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why You Should Join Niqab Day 8th March 2010.
 
Violence against women is happening in the world. This violence is not just physical but also verbal. Goverment who we have elected are ones who now are holding our sister against their will, they are the ones telling us how a woman should look or behave. Moreover, the government ignores woman needs — and denies their very existence and prevent human rights.

Womens are the ones who had to fight to have basic rights, throughout the history, the question is why is this happening now?

Sisters and brothers, we need to show the world that We are as equal as men and We have right as they.

Join to take part of Niqab Day, to show our support to our sister on 8th March 2010 on the Women’s day - it’s a day when the world celebrate. Let’s celebrate the choices of womens.
