The Meaning of the Holy Qur’an

Pickthal

Although the role of women in the family and her presence in it is effective and of special importance, but her presence in society to the extent necessary and to meet the needs of society to the extent necessary (medicine, teaching, etc.) and according to The principle of chastity is flawless. Here are some things to look for when selecting yours.
In Islam, in addition to the responsibility of managing the house and raising children, which is one of her most important duties, she shares many social responsibilities with men, and doing this duty will inevitably lead her from the fence of the house to social scenes, which is not the case. It does not only conflict with maintaining the hijab and chastity, which is one of his other duties, but also helps him to fulfill his social responsibilities and mental health better. Islam has not been strict in any way. And in all circumstances has considered the interests of the individual and society. "God willing, I will help you and I will help you." "God wants comfort for you, He does not want hardship." God says in the Qur'an about the quality of the presence of women in the presence of non-mahrams and the community: At the time of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), women asked him to pledge allegiance.
Women and presence in society
Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her) and after the death of her noble father (peace be upon him) had a heavy responsibility. And the Ansar were in Medina with their wives and helpers, they came to the mosque in full chastity and hijab to get their rights, and they covered themselves with men and women. And they started lecturing behind the scenes. He personally appeared before the Ansar and Muhajir women in mosques and public places and finished his argument against them and asked them for help. In their lives, their noble father (peace be upon him) divided the work between him and Ali (peace be upon him). Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (peace be upon her) says: Only God knows how happy I am, because the Prophet freed me from accepting duties outside the home and work that is for men, but nevertheless, whenever it was his divine duty to They would enter the society with the principle of chastity and full hijab. For example, in the time of Imam Ali (pbuh), his mosque and the mosque of Imam Ali (pbuh) were separate and distinct, who preached religion and hadith, and even separate women in that mosque prayed over corpses.
Women's responsibility in society
Women are responsible for social denials, and have many responsibilities, not only to be vigilant about the positive and negative movements of their homosexuals and to consider their political movements, but also to be responsible for the self-improvement and intellectual cleansing of society. Therefore, a woman can create a healthy and spiritual social atmosphere by enjoining what is good and forbidding what is bad for women. Accept the hard and heavy, because they have been created a sensitive creature. Imam Ali (pbuh) says: "The woman is a flower from the flower of life, not a hero.

The social status of women in Islam

O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition. (Quran 7:26)

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.â€ (Quran 24:31).

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.â€ (Quran 33:59)

Quranic Verses About Hijab

By:Sayyid Mujtaba Musavi Lari
The West's vociferous partisans of Women's Lib. have no idea of the revolutionary leap forward in women's position which Islam brought about. In the days of Islam's first appearance the position of women was that of chattels of the men - little above the domesticated animals. Yet the West, for all their vaunted freedom, have added nothing to what Islam gave to women, except liberty for increased corruption and licentiousness. Islam prohibits debauchery, laxity, vulgarity, debasement and demoralisation. Is that to hinder women's upward advance?

Islam regards both man and woman as created by God to rise to the full stature of the perfect human. This is in stern contrast with those versions of the Heavenly Book which Jews and Christians have tampered with and published as reading: "Amongst every thousand men appears one beloved of God: but amongst all the women in the world there is not to be found one who is included in God's grace and favour." (My quotation is from page 519 of "Islamic and Arab Civilisation", an authoritative work to which due respect must be paid.)

Islam proclaims that in God's eyes there is no difference between man and woman. Each is a precious soul. In His eyes all that makes people stand out from one another is their excelling in virtue, piety reverence, spiritual and ethical qualities. It is open to both men and women to achieve that type of excellence. At Doomsday each soul will be judged, regardless of sex, according to the fruits of their actions, by the above criteria. As it is written in Sura XXVII: Nahl -"Bee". "Whosoever hath faith and performs decorous actions, man or woman, I decree as their destiny a life that will be satisfied and will win that soul a reward better than the good deeds they have done." Compare Sura XXVIII: Qasas-"The Narration" (verse 84): "To whosoever does good, the reward is better than the deed."

Islam regards men and women as complementary to each other. As it is written in Sura III: Aali-Imran -"Imran's Family" (verse 195): "Their Lord hath accepted their prayer and answered: 'Never will I suffer the work of any one of you, male or female, to be lost. Ye are complementary to each other'."

Many women possess such personal excellences and intelligence that they attain great heights of true humanity and happiness. Many men, alas, fall to the lowest depths because they flout reason and abandon themselves to their passions.

It is related that on one occasion the Second Caliph, Omar, said from the pulpit in the presence of a large crowd: "I will fine any man who gives his bride 500 darhams or more as dowry. He shall be made to give the same amount as that by which his dowry exceeds the Mahr-as-Sunna (traditional dowry) to the public treasury." At this a woman who was at the foot of the pulpit cried out in a loud voice her objection to Omar's statement saying: "Your proclamation contradicts God's law. for does not the Sura IV: Nisa'a -'The Women', say (verse 20): 'But if you decide to take one wife in place of another, even if you have given the wife you put away a talent of gold as her marriage portion, take not the least bit of it back.'? How can you, then, in contradiction of the Divine Law which has stated that it is permissible to give more than the legal minimum marriage portion, make your proclamation?" Omar could not deny the impeachment and withdrew his proposition saying: "It was a man who erred and a woman who uttered the truth."

Contrast with this the tragic depression of women in pre-Islamic Arabia. What a height of dignity has been conferred by Islam on the female sex to enable one of them to lift up her voice in public rebuke to a Caliph and cause him to reverse his own public utterance! Islam took from men the right to own women. It instituted equality of human souls, with due regard to differences of male and female constitutions.

In the 19th century religious leaders of France, after long discussions, decided: "woman is a human being, but made to serve man." It was not until recent years that women in European lands had any rights to own property. In England it was not till about AD 1850 that women were counted in the national population census. It was in 1882 that a British law, unprecedented in the country's history, for the first time granted women the right to decide how their own earnings should be spent, instead of handing them over direct to their husbands immediately. Until then, even the clothes on their back had been their husband's property. Henry VIII had in his day even forbidden women to study the Bible when the first English translations began to appear.

Fourteen centuries ago Islam had decreed women's total financial independence, their right to own and dispose of property without the surveillance or control of any man, to conduct business, trade and all the transactions concerning their profit and loss, including the execution of deeds of gift, without having to check with anyone. As it is written in the Sura IV Nisa'a-"The Women" verse 33: "In no wise covet gifts bestowed by God seemingly more freely on some than on others. Whatsoever a man earns is his own. Whatsoever a woman earns is her own. Pray to God for the bounty of His Providence for He knows all things."

Besides property rights Islam bestowed dignity, liberty and freedom on women. This is not least true in the matter of marriage. Marriage is the most important and sensitive step in a woman's life. Islam did everything to secure her in it, and to enable her to consider the financial as well as all the other matters concerning the situation before she accepted him in wedlock.

Thus the rights and privileges which European women extorted after bringing forceful pressure to bear on the societies in which they lived, and only recently achieved, Islam bestowed upon all women voluntarily without any form of revolt or pressure many centuries back. Indeed there is no moment of a woman's life, and no problem she is likely to face, for which Islam has not made beneficent and wise provision.

It is true that today far too many women are condemned in the East to an unsatisfactory way of life. But this is not due to Islam's regulations. It is due to the neglect of religious precept in political, social and financial institutions.

Poverty is one important reason for the bad conditions under which Eastern women have to live. A few are too rich; but the majority far too poor, victims of hunger and wretchedness. The resultant weakness has deprived people of the strength to rise up and insist on a change in their environment, for the sake of their families and children. Nor have the women the power in such a situation to make use of their legal rights and to take the men to court for the violence and tyranny of their behaviour. Women fear the difficulties of having to live without a male companion in a man's world.

The same economic needs cause a diminution in morals and in human affections. Violence and injustice replace moral values.

Although Islamic lands are amongst the worst sufferers from these modern disasters, it is not Islam itself but the deliberate neglect and abandonment of Islamic principles by Muslims and their leaders which has brought these tragedies upon us. For Islam is the very acme of the counterforces to poverty and injustice, and insists that wealth must be fairly divided amongst people of all classes, declaring that it is wrong for people to have to live under the torture of indigence and its pressure on hearts and souls, not least those of women and children.

Have we not men wise and just enough to eradicate these wrongs? To cure the bitterness which they produce? To re-enact sound Islamic measures? To restore respect for the dictates of piety and reverence for God and men? Should not that same Islam which once rescued woman from degrading depression, now raise her again by instituting a new society?

What is the situation in the West? Women have fallen victims to the bestial passions to which men have abandoned themselves under the influence of subversive propaganda of all kinds, in which the massmedia, particularly cinema and TV, and the advertisements that disgrace the hoardings of our great cities, play so tragically fateful a part.

Nowadays a woman's good reputation and dignity does not come, as it used to, from her possession of moral excellences, education and knowledge. Too often women of piety and learning are left in obscurity. Respect, reputation go too much with the name of " artiste" which some women arrogate to themselves. They perform no useful function in society. They do not help the men forward. The name "artiste" seems to cover a multitude of sins of incontinence and debauchery, which are the very opposite of that virtue and chastity in which the honour of women once resided. How many earn a shameful living as "models"?

An American sociologist writes that the modern stripteaser can earn a million dollars a year: a fellow who is able to knock out another man with one blow of his fist gets half a million: a man who has spent a lifetime in the service of his fellows, in his white hairs finds hardly enough to live on.

Professor Albert Connolly writes: "In 1919 England's women fought for the right to be elected to Parliament, and in their battle went to prison and suffered physically in fearless vindication of their sex. What use are their grandchildren making of the privileges gained for them by these courageous women pioneers? And what would their grandmothers think of them? Maybe they are actually turning in their graves at seeing the liberties they fought for perverted to shameless licence. This last half century has taught us that the liberation of women is not enough. Besides all their other sacrifices for their cause, women seem also to have connived at the sacrifice of the respect and the ancient realities, the moral dignity and the devotion to mankind's uplift which in former days brought honour to the name of 'woman' and 'mother'." (Quoted from "The Enlightened Thinkers' Magazine", No. 829).

Islam and The Position of Women

"Women in Islam" the book discusses the history of women before Islam and to see how peoples before Islam and non-Muslim peoples after Islam, in both civilized and primitive nations, acted in regard to the issue of women. It goes without saying that complete historical analysis of this topic is beyond the capacity of this publication so I will merely suffice with a short review of this history.

Women in Islam

This book details the rights of husband and wife in Islam as stated in reliable books of Islamic Law.In this handy booklet, the author has described the rights and duties of husband and wife in a manner that is very easy to understand. This book has covered all the aspects of Quran and hadees in married life. It is very useful for those couples who are going to get married or are newly married so that they can acquire peaceful life.

Rights of Husband and Wife in Islam

Islam believes in an extraordinary worth of a mother, and has drawn the people’s attention to this matter in various remarks. It considers the attainment of the last phase of perfection, namely paradise, dependent on the mother’s satisfaction, and says “Heaven lies beneath the feet of mothers”.

The Status of Mothers in Islam

At the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America1 held at the McCormick Center in Chicago in early September 1999 and attended by an estimated 35,000 Muslims,2 a group of young men were selling T-shirts with humorous, Islamic themes.3 One of the shirts read, “It’s good in the hood,” over a silhouette of a woman wearing hijab (headscarf ). The shirt quickly sold out, and literally hundreds of young women were roaming around the McCormick Center wearing the t-shirts over their long-sleeved shirts and baggy pants, with hijabs on their heads. Islam has become a publicly recognized religion in the American social landscape. Muslims have become visible actors not only in sports, but also at school and at work, in big cities and smaller towns. The most visible Muslims are those women who have taken up the hijab and the jilbab (a full body cloak worn in addition to hijab). In the last few years, the numbers of young, second-generation immigrant Muslim women in schools and colleges who have started wearing the hijab and jilbab has greatly increased. Why is this happening, and why now? Why did their elder siblings or parents not take up hijab earlier? The argument here is two-fold: the women under consideration are agents of change, of self and others, but they act under certain constraints. The changing attitudes of these particular women to religion are important and explain their decisions at the individual level as to why they wear hijab. But this does not help us understand why wearing hijab has suddenly become tolerable and in some ways “fashionable.”

Why Here, Why Now? Young Muslim Women Wearing Hijab

The content of the book is aimed at enlightening the people (in general) and women (in particular) about the role of women in society. The principles laid down in Islam have not been clearly communicated or narrated in many instances. The book comes out to bridge the gap between knowledge and its proper communication. The purpose of the book is to discuss the issues with a wider aspect and hence paving the way for clear guidance.

The Rights and Duties of Women in Islam

Women who deserve to go to hell, this works was written with the intention of awakening women to reality and providing examples of women who deserve to go to hell. One section deals with things and way of life that must be avoided. Some outstanding pious women whose lives may be emulated are also mentioned.

Mansoor Abdul Hakim has written this book with the intention of awakening women to reality. They may be cautions and not misled by mischievous promises of a liberated life.

Women Who Deserve to go to Hell

The new converts have discussed issues which non-Muslim women and Muslim women who suffer from inferiority complex think lower their status. For example, the “Hijab” (veil) is considered by those who misunderstand Islam to be something that makes women hides their beauty. But people must not forget that in those days when christianity was taken very seriously in Europe and other parts of the world, it was unbecoming for a woman to leave her house without a scarf or to wear short dress with short sleeves.

Women Finally on the shores of Islam

This book written in a relatively simple language, presents a summary of the islamic teachings to provide some matters deeply in a specialized manner.

This book, written in a relatively simple language, presents a summary of the teachings of Islam. It elaborates on some of the core principles and beliefs in Islam that are important for all followers of the Ahlulbayt to be familiar with. Each principle is explained using references from the Qur'an, hadith, and practices of the Ahlulbayt .

Basic Teachings of Islam; Tabatabai

Imam Ali bin Abi Talib may Allah’s greeting be to him – is the Imam of eloquents and scholastic as he is the Imam of the pious; the masterpiece of whose is Nahj Al-Balaghah that represents, on the grounds of Arabic style, a rank coming after that of the Holy Quran. Throughout thirteen centuries, the Arab styles have related to it, have built up on its foundation, have quoted their firebrands from it, and that their good styles revive within the framework of his magic eloquence.

Imam Ali was improvising his speeches, reciting them at people meetings as summeries of a contemplations and at their circles as addresses increasing inside the self; the tongue utters them spontaneously and thus come precise (under the Creator’s speech and above that of the created).

At the end of the fourth century A.H. Al-Sharif Al-Radhi chose samples of his sermons, letters, and short sayings, and gathered them in a book called Nahj Al-Balaghah. The name indicates that these chosen samples represent a method in eloquence and performance that leads, if taken as an example, to rhetoric as it is a revelation of the self and reality, and a delivery to the receiver. This is the objective of the great creative literature.

From the day the book was selected, scholars and literary men devoted themselves to reading and explaining it; thus the expla-nations became numerous and various, some of which reached several volumes that requires, only to be acquainted with, time and effort people often do not have within these days. Hence came the need for a book that facilitates knowledge of the “Nahj” for the common reader by selecting samples and explaining them.

The famous author George Gerdak attempted to carry out this task: he works throughout years to simplify difficulties for the reader so as to collect within a book masterpieces of Nahj Al-Balagha; he classifies them according to its topics on them one hand, and according to time of appearance on the other hand, and explains what is strange and difficult out of their expressions.

Once more, throughout these masterpieces which he chooses, organizes and explains, he introduces an excellent study on the “Allawiyan Personality” adding it to his well-known five-study series.

This book satisfies a need for the common reader, the students of schools and universities, and the specialized reader as well, at this time when man does not find an opportunity for reading, amid several businesses and the control of audiovisual mass media.

Al-Ghadear Center for studies is interested to introduce this book in its new dress after its edition has been sold out wishing to achieve the benefit it aims.

Masterpieces of Rhetoric Methood (Nahj Al-Balagha)

Humans are comprised of a body and a soul, yet most of them take care of their bodies and forget about their souls. This book wakes them up, the author hopes, and provides them with a dose of spirituality which they may never have had before.
This book is written for everyone, and its stories will appeal to many, if not most, people who will find in them beauty and universality: There is One God, one human family started by Adam and Eve, one truth, one heaven, one hell, one right and one wrong... and one religion. Call any of these by any name, it does not matter, for calling a rose by any other name does not change its beauty, hue, aroma or anything else. So is the case particularly with God whom the Muslims prefer to call "All¡h" for reasons which the book explains.
This Volume discusses the "99 Attributes of All¡h" or how Muslims view their Creator. Knowing a maker is done by knowing what he makes. It discusses not only prominent figures but other beings as well: jinns (or genies), angels, demons, etc. It narrates interesting tales about a number of God's prophets and messengers such as Noah, Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon and Jesus Christ, peace with them all and many, many salutations.

Allah The Concept of God in Islam

This is an attempt to understand the faith and religion in the light of Holy Quran and Hadiths. With the real life examples, I have tried to understand various issues related to faith.

Pearls of Guidance in view of Quran

What is the place of hijab in Islam? What are the requirements of hijab according to the Quran and Sunnah? Are practices such as niqab and burka cultural or Islamic? What are the religious benefits of adhering to hijab? In this book, Dr. Ismail Memon Madani makes it self-evident through ayas of Quran, detailed explanations from the famous Tafsirs, and the ahadith that hijab is indeed an Islamic commandment which has been observed by the wives of the Blessed Prophet (Peace be upon him), the Sahabiyat (May Allah be pleased with them), the pious predecessors and our whole Umma for the last fourteen-hundred years. The book details the requirements of hijab are according to the Quran and Sunna. This book also highlights how hijab is the most effective tool in maintaining peace and purity in society and how abandoning it leads to promiscuity and shamelessness.

Hijab: The Islamic Commandments of Hijab

The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam (1930) is Muhammad Iqbal's major philosophic work: a series of profound reflections on the perennial conflict among science, religion, and philosophy, culminating in new visions of the unity of human knowledge, of the human spirit, and of God. Iqbal's thought contributed significantly to the establishment of Pakistan, to the religious and political ideals of the Iranian Revolution, and to the survival of Muslim identity in parts of the former USSR. It now serves as new bridge between East and West and between Islam and the other Religions of the Book. With a new Introduction by Javed Majeed, this edition of The Reconstruction opens the teachings of Iqbal to the modern, Western reader. It will be essential reading for all those interested in Islamic intellectual history, the renewal of Islam in the modern world, and political theory of Islam's relationship to the West.

Sayings and Preachings of Hazrat Ali (as)

This is the story of the man who changed the world in 23 years and continues to influence it today. His father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was only six. Sheltered by a powerful uncle, he made a good start in life, established himself in a profitable business and married well. Then, at the age of 40, he was transformed. A man who could not read or write, he announced that he was the prophet of God. His name was Muhammad, and in the next 23 years he would bring peace to the warring pagan tribes of Arabia and establish the religion of Islam, which today has 1.2 billion followers.

Biography of the Prophet (pbuh)

The heart of every Muslim is filled with the love the last Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) and the love of the Messenger of Allah is an asset for any Muslim. This book a biography goes into the details of the lineage of the Prophet (SAWS) his message, his jihad and his social interaction.

A complete authoritative book on the life of Prophet Muhammad (S) by Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuri. It was honored by the World Muslim League as first prize winner book. Whoever wants to know the whole life style of the Prophet in detail must read this book. Muhammad (S) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him, are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (fore heads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurdt (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (Paradise). (Al-Fath: 29) The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's Religion (Islam) and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet ) and learns and then teaches it to others. The (last example is that of a) person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's Guidance revealed through me (he is like that barren land)." (Al-Mukarramah)

This text An Analytic Study of the Most Critical Event in the Political History of Islam written by Baqir Sharif Al- Qarashi;

The first political, yet conspiratorial, conference that was held in Islam was the Saqifah Conference, which was held immediately after the passing away of the Holy Prophet (¥) and before his holy body was buried. The dispute of the conferees came to a head, since all of them tried his best to take over power but none of them said a single word of demanding to observe the interest of the Muslim nation or to guarantee its rights after it had been exposed to the astounding misfortune of losing the Holy Prophet, their actual savior. No single historical document has conveyed a decisive situation of any of these conferees, even if such situation would have been demanding that the election of the next ruler should be postponed until the situations of the nation would return in good order and only then, the public would elect a leader...

The Saqifah Conspiracy

This text carefully examines and refutes the claims of Ahlul Sunnah about Abd Allah Ibn Saba. It is almost impossible to find any single Salafi writer or speaker on Shi’ism who will not mention one ‘Abd Allah b. Saba as the founder of the Shi’i madhhab. This Ibn Saba is their bogeyman, through which they seek to scare away the truth-seekers from objectively researching the origins of Shi’ism. Expectedly, Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah has played this same card in his infamous Minhaj al-Sunnah. He is never left behind in such matters! This book therefore is a reply to Ibn Taymiyyah first and foremost, and then to his ilk.

Abd Allah Ibn Saba Myth Exploded
