Wondrous Treatment Of Women In Islam

T he purpose of this article is to show how the barbaric nature of
Islam manifests itself in the cruel treatment of women.

1. Lets start with the "great" Mohammed himself, the founder of this
"fabulous" faith. Mohammed was married to Khadija Bibi, his employer
and 15 years his senior. At that time Mohammed was 25 years old. He
was Khadija Bibi's third husband. Khadija Bibi was a widow when she
married Mohammed. For the first time in his life, Mohammed enjoyed a
luxurious life.

This shows the parasitic nature of Mohammed who married his employer
so that he can live a rich life without putting in a single day's
work.

2. Khadija Bibi died when Mohammed was 49 years old. Between the ages
of 49 and 63 the "great prophet" married at least 11 times.

This shows how he treated the institution of marriage. For him, women
were nothing but objects for sexual fulfillment. Marrying at least 11
women in 14 years throws light on his insatiable sexual appetite.
Read on about the "greatness" of this prophet.

3. Mohammed's favourite wife was Ayesha Bibi who was 6 years old when
she was married to him.

Marrying a 6 year old baby clearly shows that Mohammed was not only a
womanizer but also a child molester.

4. Mohammed's adopted son Zayed was married to Zainab, daughter of
Jahsh. But one day the prophet "beheld in a loose undress, the beauty
of Zainab, and burst forth into an ejaculation of devotion and desire.
The servile, or greatful, freeman (Zayed) understood the hint and
yielded without hesitation to the love of the benefactor."

Mohammed was not satisfied with his own overflowing harem and had to
marry his son's wife. His son being a devoted follower of the "great"
prophet was more than happy to divorce his wife. What a great father-
in-law Mohammed was, a model for all Islamic father-in-laws!

Mohammed preached what he practised. This is supported by the
following verses from Quran and Hadiths.
Quotes from the "Holy" Quran on Women

II/223: Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate). So go to your
tilth as ye will...

Here you can clearly see how highly Islam treats women. Women in Islam
are referred to as fields that are to be cultivated by man. What an
honour for a Muslim woman!

IV/34: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of
them to excel the other.. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion,
admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them.

First point to notice here is that Quran clearly states that Men are
superior to women. Secondly, Islam instructs that a man should control
his women through brutal violence and fear.

IV/15: (For women) If any one of your women is guilty of
lewdness ...confine them until death claims them.

IV/16: (For Men) If two men among you commit indecency (sodomy) punish
them both. If they repent and mend their ways, let them be. Allah is
forgiving and merciful.

As you can see, for women any sort of sexual exploration is punishable
by death. Whereas for a man, any form of perversion is pardoned by the
all merciful Allah.

XXIV/6-7: As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses
except themselves , let the testimony of one of them be four
testimonies...

Here we see, that a husband can easily accuse his wife (or wives) and
eventually sentence her to death by merely declaring four times that
the accusation is true. On the other hand, women have no such right in
Islam.

Quotes from Hadith TIRMZI AND OTHERS

1. If a woman's conduct is mischievous or immodest, the husband has
the right to beat her up but must not break her bones. She must not
allow anybody to enter the house if her husband does not like him. She
has the right to expect sustenance of her husband. (TR. P 439)
2. It is forbidden for a woman to be seen by any man except her
husband when she is made up or well-dressed. (TR. P 430)
3. A woman is not a believer if she undertakes a journey which may
last three days or longer, unless she is accompanied by her husband,
son, father
4. A woman must veil herself even in the presence of her husband's
father, brother and other male relations. (TR. P 432)
5. She is forbidden to spend any money without the permission of
her husband, and it includes giving food to the needy or feast to
friends. (TR. P 265)
6. A wife is forbidden to perform extra prayers (NAFAL) or observe
fasting (other than RAMADAN) without the permission of her husband.
(TR. P 300)
7. If prostration were a legitimate act other than to God, woman
should have prostrated to her husband. (TR. P 428)
8. If a man is in a mood to have sexual intercourse the woman must
come immediately even if she is baking bread at a communal oven. (TR.
P 428)
9. The marriage of a woman to her man is not substantive. It is
precarious. For example if the father of the husband orders his son to
divorce his wife, he must do so. (TR. P 440)
10. A woman who seeks KHULA i.e. divorce from her man, without a
just cause, shall not enter paradise. (TR. P 440)
On the contrary, a husband can divorce his wife at will.
11. Majority of women would go to hell. (Muslim P 1431)
12. If a woman refuses to come to bed when invited by her husband,
she becomes the target of the curses of angles. Exactly the same
happens if she deserts her husband's bed. (Bokhari P 93)
13. Women who are ungrateful to their men are the denizens of hell;
it is an act of ingratitude for a woman to say: "I have never seen any
good from you." (Bokhari P 96)
14. A woman in many ways is deprived of the possession of her own
body. Even her milk belongs to her husband. (Bokhari P 27) She is not
allowed to practise birth control either.

Quotes From Sahih Muslim Hadith

Chapter 540.The prophet said that he saw a woman coming and going in
the shape of a devil and she fascinated him. So he came to his wife,
Zainab, as she was tanning leather and had sexual intercourse with
her. That drove out what he felt in his heart.

Chapter 558. The prophet said: "When a man calls his wife to bed and
she does not come, the husband spends the night being angry with her,
and the angels curse her until morning. The one who is in heaven is
displeased with her until the husband is pleased with her.

Chpater 576. The prophet said :"Woman has been created from a rib, and
will in no way be straightened for you."

Anwar Shaikh , the author of Islam: An Arab National Movement says:
"It shows the basic doctrine of Islam about womanhood, that is, she is
basically crooked, and man has the right to keep her under his
constant vigil; she must never be left alone."

In fact, another hadith expresses woman's position bluntly:

"I have not left any calamity more
hurtful to man than woman."

Chapter 619: Selling a cat, selling a dog (unless it is a working
dog), and earning of prostitutes(unless they are non-muslims),... are
all forbidden.

This verse encourages the Muslim invaders to convert women of other
faith into prostitutes for their own enjoyment as prostitution by non-
muslims is NOT forbidden. We can see plenty of examples of this
throughout history, especially Indian history.

Chapter 1140: The prophet said : "The majority of those who entered
the fire of Hell were women."

So Islam considers most of the women are evil in nature and they end
up in hell.

Malik 362:1221 Ibn Fahd said "I have some slave girls who are better
than my wives, but I do not desire that they should all become
pregnant. Shall I do azl(withdrawal) with them?" Hajjaj said "They are
your fields of cultivation. If you wish to irrigate them do so, if not
keep them dry."

The next three verses are related to each other.

Malik 364:1234 If a woman suckles a baby, she becomes its foster
mother and her husband a foster father. If a man has two wives, and
one suckles a boy the other a girl, the boy can not marry the girl as
the foster father of each is the same.

The next verse contradicts the previous one.

Malik 364:1239 The rule pertaining to foster relationship only applies
to children under 2 years. Thus (Malik 365:1243) a grown up man fed
with the milk of a woman does not entail fostership.

Read the next verse carefully.

Malik 365:1245 A man said, "My wife has willfully given my slavegirl
with whom I used to cohabit her own milk to drink. What is my
relationship to the slave girl ?" Omar said "Punish your wife and go
into your slave girl".

What more can I say about these golden verses from the "Holy" Quran
and the enlightening Hadiths-- guidelines for every true Muslim!

Gazzali, the renowned Islamic thinker summed up the 18 pains that had
been visited on Muslim women as a punishment for Eve's transgression
in paradise. The list eloquently shows the position of women in Islam
and how the social customs were backed up by Islam. Here Islam goes to
the extent of saying that even pregnancy and childbirth are
punishments from God. Such is the nature of the all merciful Allah!!!
The 18 punishments are:

1. Menstruation
2. Childbirth
3. Separation from father and mother and marriage to a stranger
4. Pregnancy
5. Not having control over her own person
6. A lesser share in inheritance.
7. Her liability to be divorced and inability to divorce.
8. It being lawful for man to have 4 wives but for a woman to have
only 1 husband.
9. The fact that she must stay secluded in the house
10. The fact that she must keep her head covered inside the house.
11. The fact that 2 women's testimonies have to be set against the
testimony of one man.
12. The fact that she must not go out of the house unless
accompanied by a near relative.
13. The fact that men take part in Friday and feast day funerals
while women do not.
14. Disqualification for rulership and judgeship.
15. The fact that merit has 100 components, only one of which is
attributable to women while 999 are attributed to men.
16. The fact that if women are profligate they will be given only
half as much torment as the rest of the community at the ressurection
day.
17. The fact that if their husbands die they must observe a waiting
period of 4 months and 10 days before they remarry.
18. The fact that if their husbands divorce them , they must observe
a waiting period of 3 months or 3 menstrual periods before
remarrying.

To enlighten the people who are ignorant about "Sati" Pratha in India,
this custom was a result of Muslim oppression and brutality. The Hindu
women of India, in order to save their honour, used to jump into the
fire after their husbands were brutally murdered by Muslim invaders.
The question that arises from this is why did they jump into the fire
and kill themselves? Why didn't they just poison themselves? The
reason for this is that the lecherous necrophiliac muslim invaders did
not even leave the dead bodies alone. Yes, they had sex even with the
dead bodies! How disappointing it must have been for them to find
nothing, but ashes.

This is only a handful of facts that states the true nature of Islam.
