The Qur'anic Verse |
Reflecting on it |
|
O mankind! Allah (God) has created
you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that
you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah
(God) is that who is most pious. Verily, Allah (God) is All-Knowing,
All-Aware
The Noble Qur'an (49:
13) |
Allah
(God) Almighty states in this Qur'anic verse that he has created male
and female and that people are not elevated in the site of Allah (God)
based on color, money, nor on the basis if a person is male or female. |

Allah (God)
Almighty states the wisdom behind making the veil obligatory
upon a believing woman, and the wisdom behind this is stated
in the Noble Qur'an in chapter 33 - verse 59
(O Prophet! Tell your wives and your
daughters and the women of the believers to draw their
cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better,
that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as
not to be annoyed. And Allah (God) is Ever OftForgiving,
Most Merciful). Such that it can be concluded from
the verse that when a believing man and woman wear a gear
that identify them as Muslims then people would think twice
before attempting to hurt them. Also people around them know
that this woman do not want obscene things and thus it would
not be offered to here. And so we notice how the
commandments of Allah (God) are all based on mercy.
Also when a
woman wears a cloak it would protect her private parts from
men and that is purer for the heart of men, because when a
man sees the private parts of a woman his companion devil
whispers to him with a voice matching the one he thinks with
(as if the person is thinking to himself with these ideas)
telling him ideas like for example, what if you do this and
that, and this devil makes adultery beautiful in his eyes.
Also this companion devil comes to a person in dreams by
generating imaginations that he is doing perverted sexual
acts and when he wakes up this devil comes to him with
whispers in his head telling him to carry out what he has
seen in his dream.
It is
noticeable that adultery is wide spread in communities where
Islamic gear is not worn compared to other communities where
such gear is worn.

It
is noticeable that Prophet Mohammad peace be upon Him did
not beat any woman at all. The matter of beating a woman is
mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, however, the majority of
Muslims do not know what is meant by this act of beating?
The Noble Qur'an is the best explanatory book for itself,
such that the beating which is allowed in Islam can be
understood from chapter 38 - verse 44
("And take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike
therewith (your wife), and break not your oath. Truly! Allah
(God) has found him patient. How excellent (a) slave!
Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!).
Allah (God) teaches us that the beating which is
allowed in Islam is the one that does not leave any trace on
the body (i.e. no pain or change in the color of the skin)
and this is what results when someone is beaten with a
thin-water filled grass. Thus the beating mentioned in the
Noble Qur'an means touching the person to draw his or her
attention and not the beating that people are accustomed to.
Thus a woman that is going towards doing unlawful deeds
should be advised by words, actions, and touching her to
draw her attention.
Thus the goal behind touching a woman is to draw her
attention to a mistake she is doing. This applies also to
children when a parent sees them doing bad deeds, then he or
she should advise them by words, actions, and touching them
to draw their attention to the mistake they are doing.

During the month the body of a woman goes into cycles and it
causes the body to lose blood and it becomes weaker; thus
the mercy of Allah (God) comes to make this easier on the
woman such that the Almighty made prayer not obligatory on
the woman during the menstrual cycle. Thus Allah (God) did
not do this because woman are unclean but to show mercy upon
His creation.

To know the truth with regards
to this subject we need to reflect upon the context in which
this matter is mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, where it can
be found in Chapter 4 - verse 3 (And
if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with
the orphan, then marry women of your choice, two or three,
or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal
justly (with them), then only one or that your right hands
possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice).
And we find that the
verse previous to this talks about orphans, where it says
(And give unto orphans their property
and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones;
and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your
substance. Surely, this is a great sin).
Where we find that the Almighty
starts verse 3 with the words (And if
you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the
orphan), which is a conditional statement that
indicates that in the only case of having a fear of not
doing justice to the orphans, which means that in special
cases like in wars where a lot of men are killed and as a
result of this there is an increase in the number of widows
and orphans. In this case only polygamy is permitted in
order for the orphans to find whom will take care of them
financially. Whereas marrying more than one woman without
having the conditions stated above fulfilled is not
permissible.

The matter of having girls circumcised is not mentioned at
all in the Noble Qur'an nor in the teachings of Prophet
Mohammad peace be upon Him, and thus this matter is not
derived at all from the teachings of Islam. Moreover, it is
the work of Satan to cause harm to women. such that the
companion devils of people whisper to them with a voice
matching the one they think with (as if they are hearing
these ideas in their head) telling them to do this. As Allah
(God) Almighty states in the Noble Qur'an that Satan
commands you to do what is harmful, sinful, and to say about
Allah (God) what you have no knowledge of (Chapter 2 -
verses 168-169 (O mankind! Eat of that
which is lawful and good on the earth, and follow not the
footsteps of Satan. Verily, he is to you an open enemy *
Satan commands you only what is evil and sinful, and that
you should say against Allah (God) what you know not).
Thus Satan commands people by a voice matching the one they
think with to cause harm to themselves and he also gives
them arguments to convince them to the falsehood of their
ways. Like for example telling the father that if you do
circumcision to your girl then you protect her from this and
that. Such that the aim of Satan in this is to cause harm to
girls. And Allah (God) Almighty instructs us not to believe
and not to perform the whispers of Satan.
