why has democracy , freedom, human rights and womens rights failed in islam?

Answer 1

Because it is a very conservative culture and they hate progress.

Answer 2

It's not so much that that these things have failed under Islam but just under those who still follow it in it's true form. Those who still obey the laws of Islam as written as if time had not passed and man had not become more enlightened since it's creation are the ones who are incapable of accepting individual rights,freedom etc. And it's only in the last few centuries that Christianity moved into more acceptance of the freedom of the individual,womens rights etc. And if you watch the modern Christian church there are many who seem to want to move backwards in that community,but it's too late because the fastest growing group within Christianity are those who accept the religion but ignore many facets if it is against their basic concept of fairness,regardless of what the Bible may say to the contrary. Such as the fast growing number of people who accept the ordination of women,even though there is absolutely no way to support it biblically.It is the people who eventually pull a religion out of the dark ages,not the other way around.

Answer 3

Because local patriarchal societies persuaded people that traditions are religion. That obstacle will be overcome when Islam goes through its own reform, turn back to the book and find more enlightened answers to modern problems. Of course, I cannot imagine what they will do about women stoning edicts and such. I guess they will do what Christians did. Ignore the book when necessary.

Answer 4

I think Mohammad was the first guy who gave human rights, women rights, even animal rights. this is intresting. read this:-

In his farewell message of the last pilgrimage he said:- O people! Surely there are rights in favour of your women which are incumbent upon you, and there are rights in favour of you which are incument upon them (then he ended the message with the words:) Have therefore fear of God with regard to women, and I enoin you to treat them well.

There was a verse in the Quran I saw (somebody pls furnish with the verse no etc) And they (women) have rights similar to those of men over them according to what is equitable. (I really hope I remember the translation right)

on his death bed, he said:- If I owed something to anyone, or if I wronged any person or damaged anyone's property and honour, my person, my property and my honour are here; he may take revenge from me in this world
there was complete silence.

there are other sayings too. but then the answer will become too long.

trust me. research on your own. I think all u r doing is just reading bunch of articles of the internet. if u really want the internet, then go here:- www.irf.net

Answer 5

Great efforts have taken place in various human societies, so that by some means, justice and social security be established and the violations and crimes diminish or cease altogether. However, one fundamental problem which exists in these efforts is that they desire to compel the individuals to a desired state by setting laws and building prisons and in short, by using an external control, but this method did not have any effectiveness, and was tested time and again. This is because if the control is only by means of laws and other controlling tools, which work on an individual externally, then the leaders and chiefs who exercise control over the people shall consider themselves exceptions to the law or may find means to escape from it and thus abscond.

In addition, in the courts also, important factors like recommendation, bribes presentation of forged documents and thousands of other deceptions, play a pivotal role. In short, that which is not exercised is the Truth and that which is not heard is the complaints of the oppressed. It is because of this lack of effectiveness of the laws and other methods of control, that the national security and the defense budgets are always on the increase and the prisons are increasing day by day, whereas if, alongside these measures and laws, an internal control also existed, the results would be much better. That is, if an individual (or a society) believes that after death, he would have to be present in a court in which he shall witness the reality of his deeds and their results without the slightest reduction and should he have any objection, the parts of his body which performed the deeds would stand witness against him and in addition to this, in such a court, no bribes, friendship, recommendation and reconsideration exist. In such a circumstance, how much would crime, violations and revolts diminish in the society? It is possible to claim that basically, with the presence of such a faith and belief, the occurrence of such acts of crime and violations, is strange and unanticipated and would, in all totality, become effaced and cease to exist. Of course, since varied instincts and numerous and at times contradictory, tendencies exist within man, violations and crime cannot be totally uprooted from the human society, however at the very least, the part played by these beliefs and the internal control with regards to the happenings which usually take place in material, godless and irreligious societies, is beyond question and denial.

Another point being, it should not be concluded that thus, no offence and crime exist in the Islamic and religious societies or that the state of these societies are, according to statistics, cent per cent better than the other societies (which indeed is), because two fundamental factors serve as a hindrance for the total uprootment of offences and crime in the human and religious societies, and they are as follows:



i) The varied and at times contrasting instincts of men, shall continue to incline man towards uncleanness.

ii) Weak beliefs of the people with respect to Allàh and Resurrection after death.

Hence, however much the beliefs of the people with respect to Allàh and life after death become stronger and deep-rooted, calmness and security shall increase in the society and as a result, the quantity of offences, crimes, treason, criminals and prisoners shall decrease.

Answer 7

They have not failed in Islam. They have failed in a few countries where their culture overrides their religion.

I am married to a Muslim man and living in a Muslim country. I am happy here, free and loved. I lived in the US my entire life and dated many men there, even marrying one. I was never treated as well as I am here.

Thanks to the recent update on your identity, I now understand your feeling of oppression as a woman in Islam. It really is hard to identify to the life of a Muslim woman when YOU ARE A MAN!

But it is us the people who must be blamed, cause we just didn't take care of that.So ur an exmuslima, why don't u just go on with ur life, better than spending time trying to say anything to hurt other muslims.

Answer 10

Islam accepts bad things as the way they are and as Allah's will, so they don't often try to change things for the better. The goat herd mentality, let's all follow the leader and if we die doing so, it's Allah's will.
