Muslim Woman

Muslim Woman status does the Quran endows for women. The details are lengthy but their gist is that Islam / Quran calls both man and woman, Zauj (counter part) to each other which means companions.

Muslim Woman - Islam Set Example

Tags:
@ 08:22 PM (19 months, 23 days ago)
This then, leads us to the elegantly simple game of
giving. Playable individually or in teams, on a limitless
playing field, it requires no spectators. While it is
easy to understand, the rules are tough and like all great
games, the glory is in the participation; the pleasure in
the commitment. The rewards, which Allah Almighty
promises can be aplenty, are of course welcome icing on
the  cake. Notably though the game never stops, for the
resources given by Allah Almighty are meant for all
humanity; and they have to remain in continuous
circulation. The objective too is unambiguous. Recognize
that peoples’ genuine needs differ, but give as much as
you can from what remains after satisfying your personal
needs. The needy have a right to expect assistance and
within that fundamental premise, the Quran proffers many
explanatory notes. Firstly, give because you believe in
Allah Almighty and his cause. Give wholeheartedly with
unselfish compassion, but do so from that which has been
earned honorably. In giving more or less; openly or
secretly; be genuine, for when we help from what we
ourselves have rejected, our hypocrisy is inexcusable. Of
course, we must give sensibly. Emotions can lead to
excesses and irrationality, which can be detrimental to
both the giver and the receiver. Furthermore, we are
rightly warned to be humble. Constant reminders of the
kind deeds one performs can be painfully embarrassing for
all concerned.

Muslim Woman - Message Of Islam

Tags:
@ 08:19 AM (19 months, 27 days ago)
The Quran reminds us that, originally, humankind was one
Ummah, but this unity was broken by various differences
which the human beings created among themselves surah 10
verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the main purpose of
sending God's message through various Messengers is to
restore back the balance and unity of humankind,which once
existed in the earliest period of human history - Quranic
reference 2:213 & 57:25. The Quran warns us not to
differentiate among Messengers Quranic reference 2:285 &
4:136, because all of them came from the same source, The
Allah Almighty. But the followers of the Messengers Peace
upon all of them, not only created differences among
the Messengers but they also created divisions among
themselves within the following of a single Messenger. As
other people, we, the followers of Messenger Mohammad peace
be upon him have also created divisions among ourselves. We
have done this in spite of the very clear order of Allah
Almighty to hold on to His rope together in unity and not
be divided among ourselves surah 3 verse 103.

Muslim Woman - Rebellion against God

Tags:
@ 09:31 AM (20 months, 23 hours ago)
In this universe, man is the only creature who is given
choice and discretion. He may obey the laws of God Almighty
or may not; this discretion isn't given to any other
creature. Man decides to disobey God Almighty laws when his
feelings and emotions overpower him. These emotions
instigate him for personal gains as against universal
good. He bypasses the laws of Allah Almighty and starts
following his Own emotions. At this stage his intellect
manipulates him the ways and means to achieve these
objects. These emotions or feelings and the intellect which
guides such feelings to achieve the objectives are given
the name of Iblis by the Quran allegorically. Because of
this rebellious nature -according to Taj and Lane-, it was
said that he was born out of fire -Quran chapter 7 verse 12-
and since feelings of human beings remain hidden, Iblis /
Satan was also called a Jinn - Quran chapter 18 verse 50-
Jinn means one who is hidden. Along with the feelings or
emotions, the man is also given the discretion by virtue of
which he is capable of disobedience at the time of his birth
and these accompany him through his life span - see Quran
chapter 15 verse 36

Muslim Woman - Discuss Foundation of Islam's ideology

The governance has nothing to do with the matters
pertaining to religion and ethics. The governance is
comprehensive and composite, encompasses the entire life
of the individual members of the society and is never
accountable to anyone for its functions and decisions. It
engrails its power from the geographical boundaries for
its nationalism.

Muslim Woman: Discuss Anfaq "pinnacle of giving"

Tags:
@ 07:06 AM (20 months, 6 days ago)

Anfaq in effect constitutes the pinnacle of giving.  It
consolidates the containment of societal negatives such as
poverty, hunger, injustice, malice, abuse, disrespect,
waste, greed and the deprivation of the human rights. 
Ultimately, it is the perfect socio-political environment
in which hoarding becomes unnecessary and where all
resources are equitably available for everyone’s benefit. 
The word itself derives from the old Arabic expression for
an open-ended tunnel, suggesting that as much as possible
should flow through and become accessible to those in
need.  No, we are not aspiring to egalitarianism, for the
Holy Quran does recognize that a healthy community must
comprise a mutually beneficial mix of people with
different abilities, roles, responsibilities,
personalities and needs. However, they all have the basic
necessities of food, shelter, health, education and
personal freedoms, the satisfaction of which must be the
central responsibility of any balanced system of existence.

Muslim Woman - Ramadan

Tags:
@ 08:08 PM (20 months, 7 days ago)
Since the Quran prescribed fasting specifically in the
month of Ramadan, it is important to know the significance
of this special time. A special feature of the Quran is
that whenever it gives a command for action, it also
provides the wisdom behind it. It tells what the final
result of that action will be in this world, if it is
successfully carried out. In this way the Quran provides a
pragmatic test for people to see whether or not they are
moving toward that desired result.  Regarding fasting, the
Quran Surah 2 verse 183  says:  Self-control is a
prerequisite both for steadfastness and fortitude in the
battlefield as well as for establishing a just and
equitable socio-economic system. In other words, in case
of a conflict between your physical drives and lofty human
values, you should uphold the latter. Furthermore, you
should habituate yourself to leading a hard and laborious
life. For this purpose fasting has been made obligatory
for you as it was for earlier communities, in order that
you may live according to the Divine Laws and protect
yourself from the pitfalls of life. Fasting is for a
prescribed number of days -as fixation of time itself is
an aid to disciplined life-

Muslim Woman- Emergent Evolution

Tags:
@ 06:28 AM (20 months, 10 days ago)

What is the good of sudden revolutionary changes? What does mankind
gain by accelerating the working of eternal laws for a time and
securing their extraordinary results if after a while human mind and
those results are to revert to their old level? In a concrete form the
question might be, what contribution did early Islam make to the
betterment of mankind?  The answer is "immense" Firstly, Islam gave
the world God's eternal laws in the form of a book (Quran) so that
who so wishes might give them practical shape and obtain their happy
results. Secondly, Islam showed the world that the laws are workable,
that they are not mere utopia but a practicable code of life which was
given a trial in a particular period of history and produced positive
results. Emergent evaluations help mankind go ahead. As already
explained human intellect works by experimentation. 1t evolves a plan,
executes it and then finds after centuries that the plan was defective
and hence a failure. Then it begins experimenting with some other plan.
If, however, it can have the benefit of seeing the results achieved by
a revolution, the precedent will help it assess much better the results
of its own planning. A comparative study of pre and post Islamic
history will show at once that the progress man has made during post
Islamic period is unparalleled. The progress would appear much more
marked had the history of early Islam been available in its unalloyed
form. A revolution gives the ever-moving vehicle of time a push which
accelerates its speed and enables it to cover a lot of distance with
the momentum gained. It was the momentum generated by the short lived
Islamic Social Order, which helped Muslims maintain for centuries their
leadership of the world in science and art. Western thinkers and
historians admit the truth of the statement. In his book The Making of
Humanity, Briffault has devoted a whole chapter to the theme under the
caption Dar Al-Hikmat and says,
