Question

http://www.carm.org/islam/Koran_women.htm

Men have more rights regarding divorce than do women

Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise," (2:28)

Muslim men may marry up to four women, but no such provision is made for Muslim women.

"If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice," (4:3).

A man's inheritance should be a portion of two females

Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half," (4:11).

It is okay to beat wives

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)," (4:34).

In Paradise, voluptuous women await men for sensual gratification

"In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched," (55:56).

"We have created (their Companions) of special creation. And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- For the Companions of the Right Hand," (56:35-38)

"Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfillment of (the heart's) desires; Gardens enclosed, and grapevines, And voluptuous women of equal age," (78:31-33).

Answer 1

They don't "become" muslims... they are born to that religion and can't get out of it...

Answer 2

Nuns made a commitment to God which may dictate how they dress, although many orders do not require the habit, Some Muslim women cover themselves because they want to practice modesty, which I find refreshing. Where I work, I see Muslim women (some born in the US) wearing attractive,modest clothing and other women who are embarrasingly immodest. However, many Muslim women are forced to live a secluded life in an atmosphere of tyranny and fear. And it is not only Christians who are concerned about those women. Women's rights activists and health care practitioners are very concerned, for instance.

Answer 3

Im guessing you susspect noone actually reads the verse.

...And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights SIMILAR to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them...

Meaning they have almost same rights but men have a very slight advantage

......................................................................................................

...Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one...

Meaning if the man cant treat them almost the same then only one.(also you hear women complain about men so much, why would they want four?)

........................................................................................................

...to the male, a portion equal to that of two females...

This is because the man takes care of the whole family, the woman keeps any money she makes and uses it for whatever she wants.(she can save, or spend on anything she may want)

.......................................................................................................

...(And last) beat them (lightly)...

LIGHTLY!! grab a pencil, tap your hand, did that hurt?

.......................................................................................................

"In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched," (55:56).

"We have created (their Companions) of special creation. And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- For the Companions of the Right Hand," (56:35-38)

"Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfillment of (the heart's) desires; Gardens enclosed, and grapevines, And voluptuous women of equal age," (78:31-33)


SO? what do you expect ugly women??? The women have the same, if the women wants 50 men in paradise, Allah is all powerful

Answer 4

This is for yavit_k:

While yes, most Muslim women are born into & raised in Islam, just as most Muslim men are, other women(as well as men)have converted **TO** Islam from other faiths.

And likewise, many of the women that were born into & raised in Islam have left & converted to other religions.

Therefore, it is a good question to ask people(women in particular) why Islam was their choice.

Answer 5

women too have equal rights to divorce if the reasons for BOTH --men and women are valid. Divorced women and men are asked to wait because if the COUPLE WISHES to REJOIN, then do have a choice and right for doing so. also the wit helps determine if she is pregnant, so that the husband will take care of her child in future and provide for it. so u see to be badly misinformed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well in Islam u just cant marry 4 women if they want there are rules and regulations to do so. in Islam a man cannot marry just for fun. there is a procedure and one should have valid reasons. the first most important point is -- a man in Islam cannot remarry WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HIS 1ST WIFE. only if the 1st wife permits , should that man marry or else the marraige is null and void.

the reasons for men to remarry are:
1. in case where the 1st wife cannot have a child, in those days there was no IVF or Artificial Insemination. so instead of having a temporary marraige or Muta, the verse was revealed that said that a man can remarry. and in this case, only if the wife disagrees to have an adoption.

2. in case of wars, where a lot of men die and there are many women who are left behind. so instead of such widows who have to live their life alone, the prophet and Holy Quran agreed for the man to remarry. NOTE: in christianity the women were shaved bald so that they would not remarry. in Hinduism, they practised a religious Ritual of Sati, where the widow was burned alive with the dead husband. but it was Islam that said that widows should have equal rights to widowers.

3. during epidemics, where in case if men die and there are a lot of women left back as widows.

4. when there is poor and orphan girl with no one to take care of, and when no man agrees to marry her -- then with the permission of his first wife the man can accept the poor woman. for even today in some conservative societies, they dont accept an orphan as a dauther-in-law.

5. in ISLAM on the day of marraige, the preist solemnizing the wedding will ask both the bride and groom (bride first then groom) THRICE and only if the bride accepts, the marraige is VALID. also a girl is asked first so that she will not be under the presure from the groom's answer. so the preist asks the girl first and then the groom and if the accepts, the marraige goes on. if the girl refuses, the marraige is null and void.

6. MUSLIM MEN CANNOT REMARRY IF THEY CANT SUPPORT THE WIVES AND THEIR CHILDREN FINANCIALLY AND DEAL WITH ALL OF THEM JUSTLY.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
why do women get 1/4 share when son gets 1/2 shares?

a woman should be taken care of and provided by men. that means that in Islam a woman has the RIGHT to HER property/ father's property/husband's property/son's property -- but it is not the same for men. men cannot have or ask the property of women until women give it willingly.

a daughter is given 1/4 share bacauseafter her marraige she is to be taken care of by her HUSBAND and in Islam A WOMAN DOESNT PROVIDE A MAN.

the son's get 1/2 share. YES THEY DO. why? because he has to FEED his WIFE AND CHILDREN. and HALF OF THE SON'S SHARE GOES TO HIS WIFE AND THE CHILDREN SHE BORES HIM. so in short, we Muslims PROVIDE EVEN FOR THEIR DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS & HER OFFSPRINGS.

beat the women, huh?

maidens -- spiritual partners and even for women --1 FOR 1 MAN AND 1 FOR EVERY WOMAN -- A PARTNER WHO WILL HELP YOU ON A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. and there is no sex in Heaven -- ONLY SPRITUAL RELATIOSHIP OR SAY HELP-MATES. and it applies to BOTH MEN AND WOMEN. and fyi, in Islam even a woman who dies in labor is a MATYR, so even she will get her reward.

hope i helped.
have a nice day and peace.

Answer 6

A woman does not become a Muslim. A woman wants to serve her husband. " your craving will be for your husband and he will dominate you." GENESIS 3:16. A woman need to serve the true god JEHovah. How tells us to take care of a woman. And love them as you would your self with respect.

Answer 7

As quoted by Yvonne Ridley - a convert.
"How liberating is it to be judged for your mind and not the size of your bust or length of your legs."

Answer 8

There is more to the understanding of the Quran then your cut and paste and baseless philosophies. May God open your eyes to the the true meaning of the Quran. And if there is sincerity in your heart to find truth, have tolerance and strengthen your understanding, he will ISHA.

Answer 9

it is seduction by out of sequence deliberate poetry, that is why not as many men convert except for drug addicts, boxers, bouncers and mostly the violent and the "angry" who are looking for "discipline" and a chance to rebel against society by labelling them as "infidels" in order to attack with religious license.
The spirits that inspired Mohammad told him to order his followers to recite the Koran in arabic slowly and deliberately whether they could understand or interpret it.
Surah 74:16
"Move not thy tongue with this revelation,
That thou mayest hasten to preserve it.
Surely upon Us rests its collection and its recital.
So when WE recite it, then follow thou its recital.
Then upon Us rests the INTERPRETATION thereof."



The verses are also written deliberately in poetic fashion though they are grossly out of sequence and misname historic persons like the parents of Mary and her relationship to Moses.
It is why the Koran has to be (eventually) recited in Arabic in order to keep the brainwashed person bound, besides forcing 5 times a day prayers at exact times.
Brainwashing at its best and it's an unfortunate fact of studies that the female is slightly more susceptible than the male (relatively) to forms of brainwashing.

Answer 10

Obviously, they are not affected by the content of what you post because they seek a deeper meaning to life and existence, may God guide them to the truth, and guide us all!
