Articles - Women in
Islam

The Qur’an likened the creation of the male
and the female to that of the ‘night’ and the ‘day’, implying that they
complement each other “… like twin-halves of a whole.” But they are also
functionally different; hence a successful and harmonious male-female
relationship requires that the ‘day’ (i.e. the male) must function as ‘day’ and
not try to become ‘night’, and similarly the ‘night’ (i.e., woman) must
function as ‘night’ (which covers and conceals) and not try to become ‘day’.
Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) ordered, “. When a girl reaches the age of puberty nothing must be seen of her body except this and this (he pointed to the face and hands).” And so Muslim women have always covered themselves in Hijab—concealing arms, legs, bellies, head, hair, etc., in loose-fitting clothing.

Since women have a basic function of bearing
and rearing children it was necessary that they be freed of an obligation to
earn their livelihood. Thus the Qur’an obliged men to maintain, as well as to
guard and protect them, and, in turn, obliged a woman to be obedient to her
husband or guardian. Men and women ought to marry in Allah’s blessed name, and
live in accordance with His guidance. Then, says the Qur’an, “… Allah places
love and kindness between their hearts” in consequence of which they experience
Sukun, i.e., peace, contentment and tranquility.
But Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa
sallam) warned that among the signs of the Last Day was Dajjal the False
Messiah or Anti-Christ. “… The last people to follow him would be women”, and
his spell over women would be such that “… a man would have to return to his
home and tie down (i.e., coercively restrain) his wife, sister and daughter to
protect them from being seduced by Dajjal.” This prophecy indicated that women
would be deceived and swept off their feet by something that would turn their
world upside down. It would appear to be positive, whereas the reality would be
destructive. Indeed, it would be in consequence of Dajjal’s attack that the
‘night’ would attempt to become ‘day’.
The Prophet prophesied 1400 years ago that
women would “… dress like men”. This is already manifesting in the modern
feminist revolution. He also prophesied, “… women would be dressed and yet be
naked”, indicating that the feminist revolution would spawn a sexual revolution
that would culminate with people committing “… sexual intercourse in public
like donkeys.” One has to be absolutely blind not to recognize that this
prophecy is today fulfilled. Trinidad’s Carnival, for example, is now dominated
by women many of whom are bent on parading their nakedness in a truly pagan
public display of flesh and vulgarity. And many there must be who participated
in Carnival yesterday, but who today turn away in disgust!
The best secular response to this wanton
destruction of every sacred value that binds the sexes together is a public
distribution of condoms. The implication of this dramatic and ominous fulfillment of those prophesies is that a society that so corrupts itself
eventually self destructs. Neither government nor opposition have a clue of how
to prevent such an ignominious end.
“The sun rising from the West”, which is a
major sign of the Last Day, appears to represent modern Western civilization's
‘upside down’ world in which, among many other things, women abandon their
primary responsibility of rearing children in order to dress like men and go
out to work full-time the way men do. The daycare center becomes the new Mummy.
The child never forgets, and never forgives this neglect. And so children rebel
and become uncontrollable, even for the police. But they also pay back their
parents in the same coin by placing them, in their old age, in daycare centers
for the aged that are really junkyards of human beings.
Truly, modern Western civilization's feminist
revolution has succeeded in causing the ‘night’ to become ‘day’ with dire
consequences for society. Yet, with a deceptive smile, that false Western
sunrise declares to her, “You’ve come a long way baby.”
