Status of Women in Islam

Assalamu'alaikum WR WB,

Today, I've decided to write a post about the Status of Women in Islam. This is due to my disappointment and unhappiness towards the attitude of some of my male friends and how they view a girl, lady or woman.

For those of you who agree with me, I'm sure you have heard many guys out there saying stuffs like this about girls such as, "oh my! she's hot!", "look at that figure!", "she's gorgeous and sexy!", "I rate her 10/10!" and so on. I am truly sick and tired of having to hear all these. Astarghfirullah. What a shame to those who say those! How dare you view females as such! How dare you rate them! Please, guys, women are not goods where you can look at them like items, comment on their looks, rate them like items, judge their beauty and so on. They are supposed to be treated with respect and kindness and not to be uttered about like goods or items. Astarghfirullah.

Guys, Islam honours women greatly. It honours women who must be respected and treated with kindness. The Prophet s.a.w said: "I urge you to treat women well" - Sahih Al bukhari

The Prophet s.a.w. came at a time when women had no status and rights, and were looked at as cheap items. But the Prophet s.a.w. listened to their woes and took serious note of their conditions. He raised the status of women by reminding mankind of the important role of women. Islam honours women as mothers, as wives, as daughters, as sisters and as aunts. Hence, my friends, let us not stray away from the teachings of Rasulullah and the sacrifices and efforts our beloved Prophet made to raise the status of women so that we, the ummah, treat them with respect and kindness. Don't allow the ummah to return to the age of Jahiliyah where women are treated without respect and humility, like what is going to happen again if we males remain to comment and treat women like items and goods.

Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to a decent life, without facing aggression or being wronged.

So guys, stop! Stop all those wrongdoings of rating them and treating them like objects or items, commenting on their looks and more. They are human beings - creations of Allah S.W.T. Treat them and respect them like how Rasulullah s.a.w has taught us to. Masya'Allah.

Jazakallahu Khairan wa Barakallahufeek,
