Islam oppresses women? / ¿El Islam oprime a las mujeres?

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh

¿El Islam oprime a las mujeres?

En el Islam, una madre es honrada,

los hombres están obligados a tratar a sus

esposas amablemente, y hay una recompensa

en la educación de las hijas.

1- Islam honours women greatly.
It honours women as mothers who must be respected, obeyed and treated with kindness. Pleasing one's mother is regarded as part of pleasing ALLAH.

1- El Islam honra a las mujeres en gran medida.

Honra a las mujeres como madres, las cuales deben ser respetadas, obedecidas y tratadas amablemente. Complacer a la madre de uno es parte de complacer a Allah.


2- And Islam honours women as daughters, and encourages us to raise them well and educate them. Islam states that raising daughters will bring a great reward.
For example, the Prophet (salla ALLAH alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever takes care of two girls until they reach adulthood, he and I will come like this on the Day of Resurrection,” and he held his fingers together.
Narrated by Muslim, 2631.

2- Y el Islam honra a las mujeres como hijas, y nos anima a criarlas bien y educarlas. El Islam declara que criar a una hija traerá una gran recompensa.

Por ejemplo: El Profeta (salla allahu allahi wa salam) dijo: "Quien cuide de dos hijas hasta que alcancen la madurez, él y yo llegaremos así en el Dia de la Resurrección," y él sostuvo sus dedos juntos.

Narrado por Muslim, 2631.


3- Islam also honours women as wives. Islam urges the husband to treat his wife in a good and kind manner...

“and live with them honourably”
[al-Nisa’ 4:19]

3- El Islam también honra a las mujeres como esposas. El Islam insta al marido a tratar a su esposa de una forma buena y amable...

"Y vive con ellas honradamente"

(al-Nisa' 4:19)

4- Islam honours women as sisters and as aunts. Islam enjoins upholding the ties of kinship and forbids severing those ties in many texts..

Al-Bukhaari (5988) narrated that the Prophet (salla ALLAH alayhi wa sallam) said:
“ALLAH, may He be exalted, said to the ties of kinship: ‘Whoever upholds you, I will support him, and whoever breaks you, I will cut him off.’"

4- El Islam honra a las mujeres como hermanas y tías. El Islam ordena mantener los lazos de parentesco y prohíbe cortar esos lazos en muchos textos...

Al- Bukhaari (5988) narró que el Profeta (salla allahu allahi wa salam) dijo: "Allah, exaltado sea, dijo sobre los lazos de parentesco: "Quien te mantenga, le apoyaré, y quien te rompa, le cortaré."

Aishah Aish

Asiya (RA) A Woman To Learn From

I've read the story of Asiya (RA), one of the best women of Jannah (Khadeejah, Fatimah, Maryam mother of Jesus are also the best women of Jannah) and I loved it so much that I thought in making a post about the morals of this story. It inspired me. Alhamdulillah.

Asiya (RA) was a great woman, a great example of how women must be, strong, independent, confident and steadfast in her faith. Her husband oppressed her and he did awful things to her, did she obey him? NO why? Because women doesn't have to obey anyone who “asks” her to give up their faith, dignity, rights, integrity or everything. We don't have to obey when he force us to do something we don't want, something we don't believe in or something bad.

We as muslims must seek knowledge and this include women, no man can stop us from this if any does so, you better be away from such people, learning is important to not be ignorant, to not be easily influences nor manipulated, can't you see it's importance?

The Prophet (saw) said: "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim" [Ibn Majaah]

Islam has forbidden us from following any path other than the path of ‘Ilm: “And follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah).” [Quran 17:36]

Also, we must be careful from where we learn from, study your options and if you see something negative (against the real teachings of he Quran) in it, go away from it. This is your key to Jannah, make sure you get the right one, you only have this life to do so.

A narration of Imam Zuhri springs to mind, "Be careful from whom you take your knowledge, because that is your Deen."

As a revert muslimah, I found many many MANY “brothers” and “sisters” that when they knew I was a revert they desperately wanted to “help” me and with the excuse “you know nothing” they tried to brainwash me and make me believe horrible things telling me that's what Islam says. Everytime I asked for references they said “You are douting Islam? You are not a Muslim you must believe me” “Later I can't now” and those references never came etc etc.

So my advice is, 1 if someone tells you something about Islam, ask for references ALWAYS, if what they are saying is true, they won't have any problem to give it to you, if they give them to you, check them by yourself, just in case. Don't let yourself being emotionally manipulated “Don't you trust my word? Is not my word trustworthy enough?” Things like this. Actually no, their word is not trustworthy enough so don't be afraid or sad to ask for proofs, it's your right.

Another advice which I follow without exception is, Islam is peace, love, respect... so whatever goes out of those lines, IT'S NOT ISLAM. Doubt it and search the truth, it might have been out of context or totally invented.

"La cura para la ignorancia es preguntar" 

- Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu Allahi Wa Salam)

"Allah will exalt those who believe among you and those who have been granted knowledge to high ranks." [58:11]

"And say: My Lord increase me in knowledge." [20:114]

"It is only those who have knowledge among His servants that fear Allah." [35:28]

"Whoever follows a path in the pursuit of knowledge, Allah will make a path to Paradise for him. [Bukhari]

"When Allah wishes good for a person, He makes him understand the religion." [Bukhari]

In conclusion, please please please, get knowledge, be strong and stand up for your belief and rights and don't allow anyone to take them away from you. You are precious, Allah made you like this, no one on earth can make you feel the opposite. Claim what Allah has given you. Those who deny it, FEAR ALLAH, you can't decide what to follow and what don't as you can't force anyone to follow something that benefit you and ignore those that don't benefit you but does to them. Don't be arrogant, don't be selfish, don't be an hypocritical man.

"El Islam no es un buffet donde puedes 

elegir lo que quieras."

May Allah guide us and give us the right knowledge and understanding of His Islam. May Make us women strong enough to stand up for our rights and men wise enough to accept them and make it easy for us. Amin

Message to Muslimahs / Mensaje para las Musulmanas

Message to Muslimahs: 

[My own thoughts]

Islam gave you many rights, learn them and use them. Stand up and don't allow any man(or another woman), in his ignorance, handle you and put you under his feet.. you were made to stand by his side, you have voice, you have opinion and it's as valid as his. Don't let any culture force you to be less than you deserve. Culture came from humans, Islam came from Allah, choose Islam over culture at anytime. Learn by yourself, don't let anyone to impose you their thinking, study because you have that right too. Refuse to do whatever you don't feel comfortable doing, refuse to do anything that goes against Islam's teachings and against the Prophet (salla allahu allahi wa salam)'s teachings. It is important to learn by yourself because this days even the Islamic places are getting under the west control and they only want us to submit to what they think is right or to what pleases and benefits them... never allow it. Never.

With the right knowledge and with Allah's help we will be as appreciated as Allah appreciate us and as recognized and valued as Allah recognize and value us as women in shaa Allah.

Mensaje para las musulmanas:

[Pensamientos míos]

El Islam te dio muchos derechos, apréndelos y úsalos. Levántate y no permitas que ningún hombre u otra mujer), en su ignorancia, te maneje y te ponga bajo sus pies... fuiste creada para estar a su lado, tienes voz, tienes opinión y es tan válida como la suya. No dejes que ninguna cultura te fuerce a ser menos de lo que te mereces.

La cultura vino del ser humano, el Islam vino de Allah, elige el Islam sobre la cultura siempre. Aprende por ti misma, no dejes que nadie te imponga sus pensamientos, estudia porque también tienes ese derecho. Rechaza hacer lo que sea que no te haga sentir cómoda haciéndolo, rechaza hacer lo que sea que vaya en contra de las enseñanzas del Islam y en contra de las enseñanzas del Profeta (salla allahu allahi wa salam). Es importante que aprendas por ti misma porque en estos días incluso los países islámicos están bajo el control del este y ellos solo quieren que nos sometamos a lo que ellos piensan que es correcto o a lo que les complace y beneficia. Nunca lo permitas. Nunca.

Con el conocimiento correcto y con la ayuda de Allah seremos tan apreciadas como Allah nos aprecia y tan reconocidas y valoradas como Allah nos reconoce y valora como mujeres in shaa Allah.

سلام أعطى لكِ ( أيتها المرأة) حقوقاً. تعلمِيهم و أجيدِى إستِخدامَهم! قِفى ولا تسمحِى لأىّ ذكر أو أنثى بفِعل جهْلهِم فى أن يتَحَكَموا بكِ أو فى أن يضعوكِ تحت أقدامِهم. لقد خُلقْت لكى تقفى بجانب الرجل لديكِ صوت و أفكار مثله تماماً و لا تسمحِى للعادات و التقاليد(الثقافة البشرية) فى أن يرغموكِ على أن تكونى أقل مما تستحقين فالعادات والتقاليد جائت من عند البشرِ أما الإسلامُ فقد نزلَ من عندِ ربِ العالمين. إحرِصى على إختيار و تفضيل الإسلام فوق العادات والتقاليد, علّمى نفسك بنفسِك و لا تسمحى للآخرين بفرض آرائِهم و تفكيرِهم عليكِ و أطلُبى العلم لأن لك الحق فيه أيضاً. و أرفُضى القيام بكل فعلٍ يتعارضُ مع مبادئك الشخصية أو مع مبادئ و تعاليم الإسلام أو تعاليم الرسول الكريم (صلى الله عليه و سلم). و من المهم أيضاً تعليم نفسك بنفسِك لأن فى أيامنا الحالية الدول الإسلامية تخضعُ لحكم الدول الغربية و الغربُ يريدنا بأن نخضعَ لما يعتقدُ بأنه الحق و أن نسعى و نقوم بما يسرهُ و يفيدهُ. مع المعرفة الصحيحة و بعون الله تعالى سيتم تقديرنا و الإعتراف بنا كما قدرنا و قيّمنا الله عز و جلى.
