A Collection of References from the Quran and Hadeeth about the Rights of Women guaranteed by Islam


The Prophet's ( peace be upon him) Disapproval of Women Beaters

Patient behavior was the practice of the Prophet, even when his wife dared to address him harshly. Once his mother-in-law- saw her daughter strike him with her fist on his noble chest. When the enraged mother -in-law began to reproach her daughter, the Prophet smilingly said, "Leave her alone; they do worse than that." And once Abu Bakr, his father-in-law, was invited to settle some misunderstanding between him and Aishah. The Prophet said to her, "Will you speak, or shall I speak?" Aisha said, "You speak, but do not say except the truth." Abu Bakr was so outraged that he immediately struck her severely, forcing her to run and seek protection behind the back of the Prophet. Abu Bakr said, "O you the enemy of herself! Does the Messenger of Allah say but the truth?" The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr, we did not invite you for this [harsh dealing with Aishah], nor did we anticipate it." quoted in: Mutual Rights and Obligations


A Husband's Attitude

'Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) said that a man came to his house to complain about his wife. On reaching the door of his house, he hears 'Umar's wife shouting at him and reviling him. Seeing this, he was about to go back, thinking that 'Umar himself was in the same position and, therefore, could hardly suggest any solution for his problem. 'Umar (RA) saw the man turn back, so he called him and enquired about the purpose of his visit. He said that he had come with a complaint against his wife, but turned back on seeing the Caliph in the same position. 'Umar (RA) told him that he tolerated the excesses of his wife for she had certain rights against him. He said, "Is it not true that she prepares food for me, washes clothes for me and suckles my children, thus saving me the expense of employing a cook, a washerman and a nurse, though she is not legally obliged in any way to do any of these things? Besides, I enjoy peace of mind because of her and am kept away from indecent acts on account of her. I therefore tolerate all her excesses on account of these benefits. It is right that you should also adopt the same attitude." quoted in Rahman, Role of Muslim Women page 149


Spiritual Equality of Women and Men

Allah has got ready forgiveness and tremendous rewards for the Muslim men and women; the believing men and women; the devout men and women; the truthful men and women; the patiently suffering men and women; the humble men and women; the almsgiving men and women; the fasting men and women, the men and women who guard their chastity; and the men and women who are exceedingly mindful of Allah. (Al-Ahzab 33:35)

Attitudes towards women

O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good. (An-Nisa 4:19)

Collaboration and consultation

The believing men and women, are associates and helpers of each other. They (collaborate) to promote all that is beneficial and discourage all that is evil; to establish prayers and give alms, and to obey Allah and his Messenger. Those are the people whom Allah would grant mercy. Indeed Allah is Mighty and Wise. (Al-Taubah 9:71)

Examples of Consensual Decision Making

If both spouses decide, by mutual consent and consultation, on weaning [their baby], there is no blame on either. If you want to have your babies breastfed by a foster mother you are not doing anything blame-worthy provided you pay to the fostermother what you had agreed to offer, in accordance with the established manner. Fear Allah and know that Allah is aware it what you are doing". (Al-Baqarah, 2:233)

Women's Right to Attend Mosques

Narrated Ibn Umar: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Allow women to go to the Mosques at night." (Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 22)

Narrated Ibn Umar: One of the wives of Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayer in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents him from stopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) : 'Do not stop Allah's women-slave from going to Allah s Mosques' prevents him." (Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 23)

Ibn 'Umar reported: Grant permission to women for going to the mosque in the night. His son who was called Waqid said: Then they would make mischief. He (the narrator) said: He thumped his (son's) chest and said: I am narrating to you the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and you say: No! (Sahih Muslim Book 004, Number 0890)

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Do not deprive women of their share of the mosques, when they seek permission from you. Bilal said: By Allah, we would certainly prevent them. 'Abdullah said: I say that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said it and you say: We would certainly prevent them! (Sahih Muslim Book 004, Number 0891)

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Atika bint Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl, the wife of Umar ibn al-Khattab, used to ask Umar ibn al-Khattab for permission to go to the mosque. He would keep silent, so she would say, "By Allah, I will go out, unless you forbid me," and he would not forbid her. (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 14, Number 14.5.14)

The Common Performance of Ablutions

Narrated Ibn Umar: "It used to be that men and women would perform ablutions together in the time of the Messenger of Allah's assembly." (Bukhari: 1: Ch. 45, Book of Ablution)

Women's Right of Proposal

Narrated Sahl: A woman came to the Prophet, and presented herself to him (for marriage). He said, "I am not in need of women these days." Then a man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "What have you got?" He said, "I have got nothing." The Prophet said, "Give her something, even an iron ring." He said, "I have got nothing." The Prophet asked (him), "How much of the Quran do you know (by heart)?" He said, "So much and so much." The Prophet said, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Quran." (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 72)

Women's Right of Permission

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission)." (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 67)

Narrated Khansa bint Khidam Al-Ansariya that her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she went to Allah's Apostle and he declared that marriage invalid. (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 69)

The Right of Women not to be Forced

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Barira's husband was a slave called Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet said to 'Abbas, "O 'Abbas ! are you not astonished at the love of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?" The Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do so?" He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not in need of him." (Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 63, Number 206)

Asserting Women's Rights

Ibn Al-Jauzi narrated the virtues and merits of Umar bin Al-Khattab (Allah bless him) in the following words: Umar forbade the people from paying excessive dowries and addressed them saying: "Don't fix the dowries for women over forty ounces. If ever that is exceeded I shall deposit the excess amount in the public treasury". As he descended from the pulpit, a flat-nosed lady stood up from among the women audience, and said: "It is not within your right". Umar asked: "Why should this not be of my right?" she replied: "Because Allah has proclaimed: 'even if you had given one of them (wives) a whole treasure for dowry take not the least bit back. Would you take it by false claim and a manifest sin'". (Al Nisa, 20). When he heard this, Umar said: "The woman is right and the man (Umar) is wrong. It seems that all people have deeper insight and wisdom than Umar". Then he returned to the pulpit and declared: "O people, I had restricted the giving of more than four hundred dirhams in dowry. Whosoever of you wishes to give in dowry as much as he likes and finds satisfaction in so doing may do so". quoted in: "On the Position and Role of Women in Islam and Islamic Society"

Seeking advice and comfort

Narrated 'Aisha (the mother of the faithful believers): ... Then Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza ... (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 1, Number 3)

The Characteristics of a Believing Man

Narrated AbuHurayrah: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: a believing man should not hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another. (Muslim Book 8, Number 3469)

The Education of Women

Narrated Abu Said: A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Men (only) benefit by your teachings, so please devote to us from (some of) your time, a day on which we may come to you so that you may teach us of what Allah has taught you." Allah's Apostle said, "Gather on such-and-such a day at such-and-such a place." They gathered and Allah's Apostle came to them and taught them of what Allah had taught him. (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 413)

On the Treatment of Women

Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: I went to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and asked him: "What do you say (command) about our wives?" He replied: "Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them." (Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 11, Number 2139) "The best of you is one who is best towards his family and I am best towards the family". (At-Tirmithy). "None but a noble man treats women in an honourable manner. And none but an ignoble treats women disgracefully". (At-Tirmithy).

A Husband must keep the Privacy of his Wife

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: The most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of Judgement is the man who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret. (Muslim Book 8, Number 3369)

Hello..I do agree with you and before couple of weeks I asked a similar questions and the answers I received were controvercial. I am Christian and feel very bad and uncomfort when I read a question, full of hatred and misunderstanding. Yahoo answers is supposed to be a free Forum,with rules, no insulting or offending questions,thoughts, etc. Unfortunately, we observe the opposite, which is sad,because we must be good and tolerant to each other..There are bad and good people, fine..Why we have to condemn either Muslims or Christians. Yes, there are some IDIOTS and LOSERS,who has nothing else to do seems except hate and provoke others. I do respect Islam,respectively Muslims and in the Quran (if I am not wrong) was written that Muslims also respect other religions as Christianity and they not install compulsory their teaching. Let's think about when Mohamed ,the Prophet was expelled from Medinna with his followers he was accepted and not betrayed by the King of Abisinia,who was Christian. Isn't that enough evidence that we have more in common..I reject both the Christian and Muslim sects ,who tend to provoke people to violence etc. I appeal as Renoz DO STOP PLEASE WITH QUESTIONS FULL OF HATRED ABOUT RELIGION..GOD IS ONE AND SEES AND HEARS EVERYTHING..LET GOODNESS PREVAILS UNDER THE EVIL NOW AND FOREVER..

I'm sick of islamophobia.

I realise that there are Muslim extremists and it is a problem but no more that the America christian right is a problem. As is often the problem a minority of people with extreme religious/political views spoils things for everyone else.

I come into contact with Muslims on a daily basis in work and they're no better or worse than anyone else.

What Israel is doing at the moment sickens me, the state of Israel should never have been formed in the first place. My grandparents were Jewish and I'm sure they would agree with me if they were alive to see what is happening in the middle east at the moment.

Oh yeah and what Aleks said is right. It's damn near impossible to live in a world without insults, conflicts etc. when you take into account that 99% of people are idiots.

The problem is that there are Islamic Extremists blowing things up everywhere around the world. The Muslim leaders are usually quiet about it (they don't renounce their attacks). This makes many believe that most Muslims actually are one and the same with the "Terrorists". Also, many Muslims started dancing on the streets shortly after the 9-11 events... And there was very very little condemnation from any Muslim leaders.

Muslims have to speak out. If they don't, what do you expect?

Unfortunately, there are a number of nutters here who don't get that - they hear about this 'group' but never meet it's people face 2 face. Least not in a talkative way.

They assume that their point of view is the best - which leaves not so much to talk about really.

But what's that?

(Quote)"what? you muslim don't insult anybody? just read the messages honey! "(EndQuote)

You know, they are right... some muslims even said that they were not Christian! Oh no! (That was my idea of a joke)

And there are healthy doses of nutters from other religions and backgrounds too. I don't single out the Christians. :)

Finally, my spelling of Mulsim is not techinically incorrect; we Aussies translate it that way. Though the American "Koran" rather than the Aussie "Qur'an" is taking over, I must admit.

Asalam Alaikum
One thing to remember is that non-Muslims will never be happy with you until you leave Islam. Some may be nice to you but they still are not happy with you inside. That is ok as long as they are still respectful they don't have to like me. The ones who are nice and respectful deserve respect back and maybe inshaAllah they will see Islam as the truth. But these ignorant people who show their hate and dislike are the ones that cause the problem. Best thing to do is ignore them. They are the ones going to bed with hate in their heart every night not you. Stay strong sister, your doing what you are suppose to be doing. May Allah reward you and your family. May He give you a home in the Paradise. Ameen

Hello,

I think we are here to learn from each other and ask questions, so we gain some knowledge.

I really do not understand why some people answer with hatred and anger when there is something related to Islam!! Muslims are very peaceful people. They act as if Muslims were the worst people ever..

I really feel bad because when Muslims talk about others religions, they do not answer with hatred or anger.. so please try to learn about Islam and Muslims to really know whether they are bad or not..

thanks

I am a Christian, and I don`t hate you, I also wonder why my country wants to be in another ,ie Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia,Irak
and desperately trying to get into others.
We have kids here with drug, health, and education problems.
Yet we can only find answers to some vague hunt for weapons of mass destruction, and other willow the wisps. I see in the new Testament that Jesus said there are only 2 commandments,
1.Love God above all else.
2.Love your neighbours as your self.
I am thankful that I am not the neighbour of some of you well meaning people, et al

You are right, you can insult me as I am white and a Christian. If however, I choose to insult you (which I don't by the way) I find that I am breaking the law and being racist.

'You're picking on me because I'm white' is likely to make people laugh rather than get angry on my behalf. 'He called me a Christian prick' is hardly going to bring the full weight of the law down on a non-Christian insulter.

There are muslims in my country (who come from other countries) who can openly deride the functions of government and the very fabric of this nation of which I am a native. If I was to go to their country and do the same thing, I think I'm safe in my belief that I would not be allowed to carry on for too long.

The bottom line is that if you do not like where you live, you have the right to leave and live amongst those with whom you are comfortable. But whilst you live in the west, please understand that sometimes YOU make it very difficult for us to get along.

People claiming to be Muslim just tore up parts of Europe over a cartoon in a newspaper! They are engaged in inter-sect killings in the Middle East. They murder, bomb and mutilate innocents world wide. They deliberately put civilians in harms way as part of their Jihads. They hide munitions in Mosques, knowing that they put their worshipers at risk. They call for the death of all Infidels world wide.

Get together with several thousand of your fellow Muslims, and loudly and publicly condemn the violent actions worldwide. The revenge and honor killings, the car bombs, hijacking, and suicide planes, the Taliban's actions in Afghanistan. Weed out your crazies & radicals yourself. Then the world will take you seriously and possibly offer the resperct you seek.

Please share with us how you see insults. Is it perhaps that your told by your men thats what were doing when we question them since you cannot talk to infidels and live? That you say Islam is a religion of dignity, yet allow your men to chop off peoples heads for spiritual infractions? Isn't that your Gods duty? Didn't he say, "Vengence is mine" No, your not dignified and your religion takes barbarians to practice it. This is not an insult because only barbarians hide their possessions from others for fear those possessions will be stolen. I can't imagine living in a country where every man hides his wife from everybody as if she were a possession, then claims she isn't. Thank you for not wanting us to follow your religion or your lifestyle.
