“A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car. “
~Carrie Snow
As I read this quote I smiled realizing how true this was. I could never
understand how a man could possibly understand what we women go through.
Just as I don’t understand how men could understand what we women
experience, I can’t understand where people who don’t practice a certain faith, or
have depth knowledge about it, make assumptions about it. Living in the States,
it is wonderful in many ways. We have freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech,
and Freedom to be who we are.
However, with that freedom comes many dangers, such as making judgment calls
about other people’s faith. This can be dangerous regardless of whose faith it is.
This is how this article has been founded. Many times people will tell me, that
Islam oppresses women. I start to smile at that comment, because I realize that
what is common knowledge to me is not so common to everyone else.
Does Islam Oppress Women? No Islam actually liberates women. You might ask
how? Below I have written 5 ways that Islam liberates women:
- Islam gave women the right to inherit 1400 years ago!
- Islam gives the woman the choice to pick her husband.
- Islam let’s the woman keep all of her money when she works, her father,
brothers, or husband is to take care of all of her needs. (So she is spoiled
and treated like a princess) - Islam treats the women equal to the men. She is judged by her piety, good
deeds, and righteousness like any other human being. - Islam asks a Muslim Woman to wear the hijab only because she is a pearl,
and pearls are covered in oysters. So a Muslim Woman’s beauty is also
covered, and saved for those most precious to her.
I would like to offer you a book that I wrote “Are Muslim Women Oppressed?”
This book will discuss in depth about the Muslim Woman’s role, her status, her
attire in detail, plus more.
