Rights of Women
(Muhammad Wasay Shahid, Islamabad)
Islam pressurize on rights for
female. Islam says that woman is not weak but is made weak by different ways:
harassing her, destroying her prestige, beating her or even sometimes killing
her by burning or any method. Before Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) men openly kept
mistresses and could divorce them, but there was no right for women to divorce.
She was called as a weak creation. The woman in the state of mother, wife,
sister or daughter would be harassed, killed, or buried alive before Islam.
Many companions of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) buried their daughters alive but
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) told them that they are forgiven by Allah Almighty.
Today in different parts of the world many women are teased by males. Especially
in Canada and America. Many cases in Pakistan are also came in front of public.
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) gave position to the women in every state of mother,
wife, sister and daughter.
Many males people do not want their girls to read and write because they though
that a woman is weak. Islam also says that women can also take divorce from
their men.
Islam also says we should be a better Muslim if we give rights to every one
especially mothers and other women and also neighbours.
