Women site, - Woman’s Work in the Scales of Islamic Sharee'ah

Share ::- - - -







The topic of woman’s work and her participation with man in public life has raised, and is still raising, much controversy. Those who call for woman’s work outside her house and taking part in men’s work put before their eyes the model of the West in this regard and their wish to imitate it. They claim that this is one of the necessities of civilization and urbanization.
The issue of woman’s work and her leaving her home continues to be the main preoccupation of the media that responds to the calls and schemes of the Jews as stated in theProtocols of the Elders of Zion ]S. D.1[.
Allaah The Almighty addresses the wives of the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and the women of the believers when He Says )what means(:}And abide in your houses{]Quran 33:33[ On the other hand, the media in the Islamic world call upon women day and night to leave their homes, wander in the streets, labs, factories, offices and stores, compete with men and intermix with them as much as they can.
Some of these people hide their evil motives behind the slogans of progress and freedom; while others declare them explicitly without any shame.
Women in the West have achieved this false freedom; so, what was the result? Destruction upon destruction, millions of abortions annually and millions of illegitimate children and divorces. This happened despite the abundance of contraceptives and teaching them how to use them in colleges and schools, from lower to upper grades.
Islam does not forbid woman from working; rather, it urges her to work inside her home. Taking care of the home and raising the children is the main function of the woman. Woman’s work outside the home is permitted in case of necessity. If there is no necessity, then, the basic rule to be observed is indicated in the verse in which Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as ]was[ the display of the former times of ignorance.{]Quran 33:33[
When the woman is obliged to work outside the home and avoids intermixing with non-Mahram)marriageable( men, those who call for the alleged freedom of women get further infuriated and angry with her, for they want her to go out of her home exposing her beauty without a properHijaab)Islamic covering(.
The call of Islam to purity and chastity is a far cry from the call to immorality propagated by those who conspire against women.
How degrading it is for the woman, when all that they see in her is lust, forgetting her great role as the mistress of a home, a mother and a wife. They forget her great role mentioned in the Quran where Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:
}And We have enjoined upon man ]care[ for his parents. His mother carried him, ]increasing her[ in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the ]final[ destination.{]Quran 31:14[
}And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hard ship, and his gestation and weaning ]period[ is thirty months.{]Quran 46:15[
They forget that the woman in the Islamic world works all day and night and that she has no leisure time as they claim. The woman in our Islamic countries works hard cooking, bringing up the children, feeding the young and old, spinning and weaving )especially in the countryside(, treating and nursing the sick, and so on.
However, those who call for the freedom and work of woman are not satisfied with these great tasks that the woman does. That is because their real target is not work or production; rather, their real target is her chastity and religiousness.
The woman’s participation in public life is a grave tragedy and people in the West are starting to wake up to its bitter consequences, while some of the Muslims are following their steps; for even if they enter into the hole of alizard ]SZ2[, they would follow them. The Messenger of Allaah,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who always spoke the truth, said:“You will follow the )wrong( ways of your predecessors hand span by hand span and cubit by cubit so that if they should go into the hole of a lizard, you will follow them into it."They said,"O Messenger of Allaah! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?"He replied:"Who else?"]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
Yes, he spoke the truth: whenever the Jews or the Christians commit a foul act, some Muslims copy and imitate it. So, it is those who are dazzled and deceived by the call for the freedom of women, women’s work and equality between men and women that must be called towards guidance.

O Muslims, the issue of women is neither new nor easy. It is, in fact, a great issue that must be paid great attention to and things that could uproot evil and corruption in relation to them must be studied. It is an eternal issue, old and recent. It was an issue for the Children of Israel and they were cursed when their women openly strutted about with their adornment showing. It is also an issue for thisUmmah)nation( about which the Messenger of Allaah,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, warned. In aHadeeth, he said:"I have not left behind a more harmful temptation to men than women."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ ThisHadeethimplies a warning against this great temptation as well as an attempt to eradicate the causes of evil from the very outset.
O Muslims, the problem of women has become serious and its evil has greatly and increasingly appeared in many forms: not adhering toHijaab, revealing their faces and loitering in markets. All this has been forbidden by Allaah The Almighty and His Messenger,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allaah The Exalted Says )what means(:}….And do not display yourselves as ]was[ the display of the former times of ignorance.{]Quran 33: 33[
Women have gone to extremes in this even beyond the impermissible exposure of beauty in the time ofJaahiliyyah)ignorance(. This saddens the hearts of the believers who fear the punishment of Allaah, His revenge and painful torture. They are afraid of being afflicted with the same punishment which afflicted the Children of Israel when their women impermissibly exposed their beauty.
O Muslims, women have gone to extremes in the impermissible exposure of their adornment. A woman now wears the finest clothes when she goes out to the markets. She wears a gown, which is either short and does not cover the whole body, or light that reveals what is underneath or she lifts it to reveal the beauty of her clothing and adornment, or tight indicating the size of her body. All this, however, is forbidden by Allaah The Almighty and His Messenger,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Allaah The Exalted Says )what means(:}And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment.{]Quran 24: 31[
In this verse, Allaah The Almighty forbids women from stamping their feet to make known the anklets which they wear and conceal. In olden times, women used to wear anklets on their feet but this no longer exists. If Allaah The Almighty forbade stamping the feet for fear of making known the concealed anklet, then what could be said about the woman who wears the most beautiful clothes and then raises her gown so that people would see it and be tempted? There is no doubt that the temptation occurring due to seeing is greater than that occurring because of hearing.
Some women reveal their arms to show their jewelry, adornment and soft complexion. Worse than this is when the woman goes out perfumed. It was narrated that the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"Any woman who applies perfume and passes by people to smell her fragrance is an adulteress."
O Muslims, the matter is great and dangerous. Intermixing between the two sexes is widespread in markets where women crowd with men, speak with loud voices and joke with men without either bashfulness or fear of the Ever Powerful.
O Muslims, where are the men? Where is chivalry? Where is nobility? Where is the manly zeal?
The ignorance of today is much severer than the ignorance of former times. Once the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, came out of theMasjid)Mosque( and observed that there was intermixing between the two sexes on the pathway. Thereupon, he said to the women:"Give way )walk to the sides( as it is not appropriate for you to walk in themiddle of the road. Stick to the edges."Thereafter, the women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would rub against it.
O Muslims, where are the women who respond to the command of Allaah and His Messenger,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam? Offer advice to the foolish among you and persistently push them to follow the truth. Men are required to prevent women from exposing their beauty and applying perfume when going out. This must take place before the advent of the curse of Allaah upon us. Even, greater than this is that we must do so before the prevention of rain. Birds curse disobedient humans and the sea asks daily for permission to drown them. Where is protective jealousy about religion? Women have been left free to joke with men, buy and sell from them and go to markets without adherence to the commands and prohibitions of theSharee‘ah. Indeed, to Allaah we belong and to Him we indeed shall return. There is no power and no strength save in Allaah.
O Muslims, beware of imitating Western traditions. Beware of imitating the disbelievers in the manner they dress and walk. The person who imitates a certain people belongs to them. Do not be deceived by their falsification. They beautifyBid‘ah)religious innovation( and erroneous deviation for you.
O Muslims, if your enemies called you to disbelief orShirk)polytheism(, you would surely not respond to them. Hence, they are satisfied with destroying your morals and religion from other angles. One such way is through minor sins, which you belittle but which in fact are collecting for you and will finally lead you to Hell. In aHadeeth, the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"The devil has despaired of making idols worshipped )again( in the lands of the Arabs; so, he will be satisfied with making you commit what is lesser than this, which is minor sins.These minor sins will be destructive on the Day of Judgment."
O Muslims, fear Allaah and do not be deceived by what your enemies offer you. You are now at the crossroads, for this worldly life is opened to you now and the enemies whom you brought to your countries have exalted after they had been humiliated by Islam and upgraded after they had been degraded by Islam, gather to attack you. Islam commands you to take theJizyah)a type of tax( from them willingly while they are humbled. However, you raised their position and brought them to spread mischief in the Muslim countries.
Some brought their evil habits and deviant traditions. Some of you traveled to their countries and you saw them in the print, audio and visual media. Consequently, either you must have strong and firm faith on which the enemies' schemes are destroyed, or you have a strong Muslim personality and therefore you neither transgress nor are deceived by them and adhere to the same methodology of your righteous predecessors and enjoy the best of both worlds; or you adopt the contrary approach: weak faith, weak personality and collapse in the face of temptations. In such a case, your share will be the losing deal. This loss cannot be compensated and your break is incurable if you are included in the verse in which Allaah The Exalted Says )what means(:}"Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss."{]Quran 39: 15[
Sister, I am telling you that the gap will keep widening as long as our girls are heedless of what the enemies are scheming against us. Unfortunately, the Muslim girl is trapped in the snares of those who seek corruption and they are confined to their ambushes, consciously or unconsciously. This is the bitter reality.
Wake up, O Muslim girl, granddaughter of Khadeejah and ‘Aa’ishah! Be aware that what is being planned against you is an evil plot with grave consequences. Despite its slow start, its end is abysmal. Evil does not emerge all of a sudden. The target is not to removeHijaabonly, but when theHijaabis removed, bashfulness breaks away and its sources dry up. At this point, disaster will loom and the loss will be in this life and in the Hereafter. Look around and you will discover the truth.

O Muslims, listen to the Quran when it calls you by the most sublime name - believers. Allaah The Exalted Says )what means(:}Tell the believing men to reduce ]some[ of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allaah is Acquainted with what they do. And tell the believing women to reduce ]some[ of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which ]necessarily[ appears thereof and to wrap ]a portion of[ their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands.{]Quran 24: 30-31[
See the details of this noble verse. This is an address for those who have gone to extremes in permissible things, those who started to act according to their own opinions even though Allaah The Almighty will ask them about that on the Day of Judgment when they will stand before Him. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}…. And not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess.{]Quran 24: 31[
The verse does not say that it is permissible for them to expose their adornment to their friends or their non-Mahram)marriageable( kindred. Listen to the words of Allaah, understand His religion and do not be overtaken by blind ignorance. Allaah The Exalted Says )what means( at the end of that verse:}And turn to Allaah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.{]Quran 24: 31[
Exposing women's adornment is only permissible beforeMahrammen. Those who claim wisdom as well as those who ignore this manifest clarification are invited to understand the Divine command. It is as if they say: we neither hear nor obey. They permit intermixing between the two sexes when they are friends or kindred. The issue ofMahramand non-Mahramrelatives receives no attention. They all gather and joke with each other and both men and women eat together. All this takes place under the false claim that hearts are clean and pure. Exalted is He and High above what the ignorant say by great sublimity.
O you who spend long hours watching videos and the television, are your hearts purer than the hearts of the Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them?
The faith of some of the Companions could outweigh the faith of the wholeUmmah)Muslim nation(. They witnessed the revelation of the Quran and the Messenger of Allaah,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was among them. The Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to them:"Nomanever meets awomanin seclusion butthe devilbecomestheir third)companion(."
They responded,"We hear and obey."This was their attitude towards all the commands of Allaah and His prohibitions. Let them rejoice for they were the best people and therefore Allaah The Almighty chose them as companions for His Messenger,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
Then, when it was our turn in the fourteenth century, we said,“Our hearts are clean and pure and intermixing between the two sexes is allowed among friends.”Some of us even shake hands with each other and do so with non-Mahramwomen. We did so and considered it a form of progress, development and civility.
However, this, in fact, is disobedience to Allaah The Almighty and His Messenger,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and a deterioration from the standards of Islam and faith into imitating the enemies of Islam and Muslims. In aHadeeth, the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"The person who imitates a certain people belongs to them."
This also features weakness of faith and a lack of protective jealousy. If such people were jealous, none of them would ever allow a non-Mahramman to talk with his wife as a friend. This leads to lack of bashfulness and indifference on the women’s part.
It is known that a woman shaking hands with non-Mahrammen is prohibited and there is a relevant severe threat from Allaah. So, fear Allaah, avoid the traits of the pre-Islamic era which Islam came to fight and eradicate. You should have religious zeal, bashfulness and chivalry with which you could defend your honor and women. With your chastity and Islam, you will be distinguished from the Westerners as well as those who call to evil and corruption.
O Muslims, you should know that you are responsible before Allaah The Almighty for your women and children. So, fear Allaah, be jealous about your honor and maintain it. Do not turn the woman into a commodity that is exchanged among friends and in the streets. Fear Allaah The Almighty and be conscious of the fact that He is watching you. Fulfill your duties so that you may succeed and be saved from the torture of Allaah on the Day of Judgment, when neither wealth nor children will avail you.
