What about Gender equality and justice
in Islam?
What do you think about gender equality and justice in
Islam?
We have to know that Islam is the only just religion in the
World, and the only religion that will be accepted by Allah
on the day of judgment.
Islam always equals between both genders men and
women and we are here to show this gender equality and
justice in Islam.
Both genders are completely equal in Islam and
we will discuss some of them:
1. They are both equal in their human being:
Which means that they are equal in their feelings and
characteristics.
Allah said this in the Holy Quran
ٍ(يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ)
(Surah Nisa’).
This means that Allah has created us like each other with
no difference.
Women feel the same feelings as men, and they rise to
what men do.
For these reasons, any point of view showing a difference
between men and women in their humanity is an ignorant
viewpoint.
This is a simple example showing gender equality and
justice in Islam.
Islam came to fight this racism between genders.
For this great reason we owe thanks to this true and great
religion.
2. Both genders are equal in their highness and
loftiness:
This is an important point that shows gender equality and
justice in Islam.
Equality in loftiness means that men and women are equal
in their upright, their deviation, their faith, their unbelief,
and also their softness.
Allah said Surah Shams:
All people _men or women_ know the road of Taqua and
Fojoor, and they realize _by their pure instinct_ if they took
the right or the wrong path.
3. They are both equal in Honor and Dignity:
Allah said in the Quran in Surah Takweer:
ِ(وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ (8) بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ)
In the past in ignorance, the girls are buried alive, and so
Allah sent this verse to his messenger Muhammad (SAW)
to fight this bad habit.
They thought these cute girls brought shame to them.
This holy verse shows gender equality and justice in
Islam, as it showed no difference between boy or girl, what
a great religion!
4. They both are equal in obeying God’s rules:
This will be clear when you read this verse from Surah al Ahzab:
(إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً)This verse illustrates the complete equality between men
and women, and both of them have to obey the rules of
Allah, and Allah will reward them with a great reward
which is Maghfirah.
I mean to say that Islam is a Mercy to the Worlds, and the
only religion that makes no difference between both
genders.
No words can describe how his justice looks like.
Our duty here is to deny the charges that poisons our
minds and distort Islam’s view.
