Woman may be sister, wife, or daughter and she is really greater than described as a half of society.

Indeed, she is so, but moreover she is the responsible in how to perfect her twin counterpart partnership the man. For this reason the Woman must be regarded as Allah The Great and Almighty recommended us about her.

When we talk about Woman values according to Islamic consideration we must depend on the virtue of Koran and Hadith on which there is many difference on what had come on the book of Allah and on the Sunna of his Prophet from one hand and what is applicable on some Islamic societies of prejudice practicing against Woman on the other hand . This some prejudice practicing against Woman on Islamic society, which is, always out of the Islamic laws, make perplexes to the Islam religion and bring reasons to the other than Islamic- societies to criticize Islam and wage their tongues on crusade campaign against Islam.

Islam gratefully had proceeded on the rights of Woman when she was as insignificant stuff exposures to be sold or bought at the period before Islam advent.

Prophet Muhammad God's blessing and peace upon him had welcomed and supported the rights of Woman whether the women is sister or wife .etc… for this reason we might follow our prophet's approach which is knowable for each one that man rights on Islam are not too widely differ from Woman rights, but only on such considerations that are compatible with the environment which God's creation makes distinctions between man and Woman in order to preserve the shyness of the Woman not more.



Before we initiate our course on talking about the greatness position of Woman in Islam and her rights and her obligations, we need to speak out about the tumbles and the retrog ressions of societies at the last century which occur obviously and virtually when they neglect the woman's rights and didn't treat her according to the Islamic legis lations, when they seek to apply her what they called the "woman rights" according to their worldly laws, then the Woman step by step turns to be as a stuff for selling and buying, especially on those religious societies and civilizations that precede Islam which they are indeed only" talkative" about the Woman rights.


When the modern societies neglect the values and the sacred role of women which God recommends for her , and when they have put on the laws of life legislation such as the new definitions and philosophy doctrines of human rights and Woman rights, the women on this occasion becomes as merchandise which is in request exposure to be bought and sold as much as she has beauty and charm on her figure as the movie stars who tempt people. lastly when she lacks the properties of shine figure she becomes deserted because she looses the virtue of moral values.
When these values of Islam turned to be abandoned, we shall expect the decay and the decline of societies for worst behavioral values and temptation, since the Woman is the valve of safety and when this valve is punctured, the whole rights will be affected and the society turns to deterioration on all its aspects as the Arabic poet said;
"Mother is as school if you consider her appreciations at last you will gain good quality of people".

Each society will not catch the progress line by tackling only with the equality between man and Woman on just using the new applications of applicable laws, unless this society itself deals rightfully according to the natural distinction between Woman and man as religious doctrines recommendations.

When Woman role is taken into consideration, the family will return back to its virtuous and righteous role not momently, but for everlasting.

Many Islamic societies are dragged on to follow the new instructions and disciplines of freedom pertaining to Woman which leads to the failure of Arabic and Muslim Woman on the side of her Islamic characteristics that God donates her.

At last the Muslim Woman lost her original features and neither she is the familiar Arabic Woman or the western Woman because of this decline and this disappointment.

We quite know that West Societies people will not regard the Arabic woman, however, she was educated and enlightened because of their superiority and mockery keep –sighting against Muslim woman.

Now after entering this dark tunnel of misguided thoughts which leads to scratch the Woman shyness and decide into turning her to be as insignificant material for buying and selling. Is it possible now for time or history to be amended and asking about

the restoration of the fallen nature of Woman to be recovered


back for her shine role and position?
I think when we talk about woman, we must return back to the period of our Prophet Mohammad and his pious Companions -God's blessing and peace upon him- to ask ourselves how they judge and treat their women on the shadowy of Islam religion.


And to ask ourselves about our exemplar Prophet; was he stern or kind with his wives and daughters and other women of his nation.
Does the Prophet cooperates with Woman and don't oppress her rights ? Does he really respect and consider her rights?
We should ask ourselves all the above forementioned questions to find out the reality of Islam how it is handling with women matter.

Anyone shouldn't accuse the Islamic religious of thing is clear out of it, and who claims the right way may return to judging himself on the green light of Islam purposes such as Koran and Sunna of the Prophet , and might not govern on the tribalism disputes which lack the origin of Islam aspects or Islamic constitution.


Now after mentioning the above preamble we shall turn to state the role and the status of Woman on Islam in systematic and scientific methodical approaches by the following notices:

1- the status of Woman according to Sunna of Prophet and Koran:
Allah the Great and Almighty confirms oh his Reverend Sacred Book the greatness of Woman role and accord her the specific care and attention since she has general outstanding roles on society which may be precede the man on several views, on which our Prophet had confirmed upon the prominent status of Woman on several sayings of his Sunna relating and each of it assures her respectful rank on the society.


It is seemed thoroughly and perfectly with out doubt that there is no reasons or perplexing thought to whom claimed the lack of Woman rights on Islam and the door is totally shut out against those atheists who stab Islam religion on its back or can engage their noses to speak out shamelessly about Woman on Islam.


A- Woman on the shadowy light of Koran:
Before the West Institutions issued and before their Revolutions start and when Europe lived on darkness and govern its people with the Law of Jungle and when their people eat others on struggles and catastrophic weep and death, the lights of Islam illuminates many parts of Arabian desert and the Eastern homelands which predicts the new dawn of Islam religion and really new rooted transform ational movement appears and alteration is made to change the status of human from paganism to treat him with the free flexible thought of Islam and to save the Woman from the stern behavior of bad custom tragedy traditions as the habit of olden days.

There are several Verses of the Holy Koran which state about the Woman rights and her obligations to donate her the prominent role on the society.

These are lists of example Verses of Koran we state bellow:
1- Woman Sura Verse 1, Allah The Great and Almighty said (( O, people worship your God, who creates you from one soul and creates from this soul her spouse and sows widely both women and men of this seed. I order you to obey and fear thy God who will asks you at doomsday about your deeds and be careful with your cognate relationships. Allah is watcher and observer in what you do))


2- On the Alhugurat( champers) Sura Allah The Great and Almighty said: (( O, people we create you from male and female and we allow you to be nations and tribes in order to acquaint each other. The generous one between you is who fears God and obeys Him gratefully)).



3- Woman Sura Verse 11 Allah The Great and Almighty Said:
Allah recommends and perch you to be wise and justice between your sons, that is the male must have double portion contrasted to what the female is worthy of heritage, and if the females are more than two they ought to have the one- third of the heritage, and if it is only one daughter, she may have the half of what her father left, and for his parents who still lived the one of six of the heritage if the deceased has son, but if the deceased has not sons, his mother should have the one – third of what had left of heritages, but if the deceased had left brothers, her mother should have the one of six after the will is written on or is entrusted with someone. You don't know which son is the most helpful for you. This is task and willing of God upon you. The Glorious God is wisdom and knowable on his creatures affairs.))

The precise wisdom of the above divisions of heritage, that male had the double portions against female, based on; that Woman has not responsibility as man and it is quite justice judgment, and when the Woman married she has of course her totally rights upon her husband and if we look generally and scrupulously but neutrally we can find that Woman had advantages more than man and has the best position rather than her partner the man.


4- The Bees Sura Verse 97 Allah The Great and Almighty states:
((Who do the good deeds whether he is male or female if he is faithful, we shall donates him the easy life and we shall rewarding him the best reward than his good deeds.))

5- Woman Sura Verse 32 Allah The Great and Almighty said:
(( Don't wish to obtain something if God prefers one of you rather than the others on blessing, the men have portion of what they had acquired and as well as the women so likewise. Ask your God to donate you from his Favour, Allah is knowable on everything.))


6- Repentance Sura Verse 71. Allah The Great and Almighty said:
(( Faithful women and faithful men each of them is the guardian and the custodian of other and each one of them order for the behalf of good deed, and forbid the viciousness, pray to his God, gives the Zakat, and obey Allah and his Prophet. Those people Allah shall be mercy with them and reward them. Allah is Mighty and Wise))

7- Woman Sura Verse 19 Allah The Great and Almighty said:
(( O, Faithful people; you are not allowed to inherit women hatefully and prevent them from marrying in order to take over on their heritage unless they commit manifest adultery and you may handle them with courtesy. If you hate them, may be blessing of God hides in the part you hate.))

It is clear from the above fore mentioned Verses of Koran that Islam don't differ or makes distinctions between man and woman, but judges them equally according to what each one of them is deserved of his equivalent rights, in spite of those who provoke hostility against Islam, because they had not any excuses but only to refute and tried to lessen or distort the shining picture and the righteous principles of Islam, but even if they seek vainly, our God will protect and support this religion and will enlighten this belief until it is entirely go ahead.


Even we had discussed the position of Woman through Koran, we may pay a visit into what our Prophet Sunna to enlighten our speech by his tasteful speech and instructions into both doing and saying and control the light upon the Woman right according to his view.


B- Status of Woman through Prophet Sunna:
1- Our Prophet said through his famous preaching address;((you may treat women kindly because they live with you as captives.)) i.e. they are under your mercy because they are weak and you are strong.

2- Mohammad God's blessing and peace be upon him says:
(( The better Muslim; is the better one for his family and his wife and I am the best one in this purpose.))



3- One day an illiterate- man visited Prophet whose name is ( Ibn Asaem)

to ask the Prophet about his victims and about his absolute ignorance when he buries his alive daughter which is a common habit through Arabian region at the pagan period and still work on until the Islam advent, then the Prophet replied to him (( who will not tackle others with mercy, he will not find the mercy from God, and who has daughter and would not think to aggrieve her or as alive will bury her or do not prefer the son upon the daughter, Allah will enters him the Heaven.))



4- Prophet also said; " who provide two maids until they reach the full age with living standard offering, he will come at the doomsday as these fingers of mine.")) i.e. will enter the Heaven with the Prophet, the faithful people, and martyrs.

5- Prophet said; " who is working for the custody of widow and poor people in this point of view his good- deed is alike the good deed of the warrior who struggles for the sake of God or the prayer who still standing up all night or the Fasting -man one who abstains the food until breaks the Fast."

6- Prophet has said according to the Verse of Koran; (( we are ordered to obey our parents and will not say for them " ugh" or anything might anger them, and the Muslim must pray and beseech God to be kind and merciful with his parents.)) and says what the gratefulness is! When the mother lives with the father on honorably respectfulness.

7- Prophet said; (( you are all responsible about your kinships and citizenships, and indeed everyone is alike, the father should be responsible to offer his family guardianship, as well as the Woman is responsible to offer her children and her husband the care and the respectfulness obligations.))

8- Other types of Prophet Sunna gives the mother priority as he said when someone asks him who is the better to be dealt with as best association and companionship; the mother or the father? He replies;(( your mother, then your mother, your mother, and then your father.))



It is obvious that Islam gives Woman priority on its doctrines ways to build and sustain her character, and tries to save her from sins not to be fallen on vices or depravities on opposite what the West speak out and tries to stab the Islam religion, while themselves do not offer for the Woman the respectfulness of Islam and the Woman on their societies is vulgar with out shyness may live with her lover in the home of her legally husband .

Then if we ask ourselves why they outrageously launch this campaign against Islam?
The answer is quite easy because they lack the obvious conceptions and the clear doctrines then at last they would dedicate their domination upon the Islamic societies to occupy their countries by the excuse of human rights or Woman rights on which they tried to make opening gap on religious track.



Alas to say that some Arabic leaders give them a listening ear even if they entirely had known that the West its personal motive is to opposite Islam religion and to interfere into the Islamic societies and try to sow the disputes and the difference between the individuals of one nations as they occupied my country under the name of democracy and human rights, they kill people under this opaque law to declare on disgracefully and dishonorably manner they came to fight against terrorists and terrorism, but they are themselves indeed and with out doubt the terrorism makers , so it is obvious they try to lessen the Islam value by any excuse to provide insult for the values of Islam respectfulness. .






&الترجمة&



المرأة هي الأم وهي الأخت وهي الزوجة والابنة. ومن ثم فهي في حقيقة الأمر أكبر وأعظم من أن توصف بكونها نصف المجتمع، فهي النصف فعلياً ولكنها صانعة النصف الآخر وهو الرجل. ولهذا ينبغي أن تحظى بالرعاية والمكانة التي وضعها المولى عز وجل فيها.
وعندما نتحدث عن مكانة المرأة في الإسلام ينبغي أن يكون مصدرنا الرئيس هنا كتاب الله وسنة وهدي نبيه صل الله عليه وسلم. فارق كبير بين ما أتى به كتاب الله وما استنه المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم وبين الممارسات السلبية بحق المرأة في بعض المجتمعات الإسلامية. دائماً ما تنسب هذه الممارسات إلى الإسلام ومبادئه والإسلام بريء من أن توصم به هذه الممارسات الخاطئة التي لا يقبل بها عقل أو شرع.

فقد عظم الإسلام من شأن المرأة وارتفع بقدرها بعد أن كانت مصدر عار لأسرتها في الجاهلية. وقد ضرب المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل المثل في تعامله مع المرأة سواءً كانت زوجة أو بنتاً. ولهذا كان أولى بنا كمجتمعات إسلامية أن تقتفي أثر المصطفى في تعامله مع زوجاته وبناته ونساء المسلمين. فالرجل في الإسلام ليس مقدماً على المرأة إلا في أمور تتفق مع الطبيعة التي خلق بها المولى عز وجل الرجل والمرأة، وذلك حفظاً لحياء وكرامة المرأة.

وقبل أن ندخل في الحديث عن مظاهر تقدير وتعظيم الإسلام للمرأة وحقوقها وواجباتها في الإسلام، نود الإشارة إلى أن انقلاب وتدهور حال المجتمعات خلال القرن الأخير لم يكن إلا نتيجة تحويل المرأة والخروج بها عما هيأها الله إليها. والتي فتحت مسميات حقوق وحرية المرأة وتلك الدعوات الباطلة، فتحولت حواء شيئاً فشيئاً إلى سلعة، خاصة في المجتمعات التي سبقت الدول الإسلامية في مجال الحديث عن تحرير المرأة. فهي الآن لا تختلف في وضعها عن السلعة يزداد الطلب عليها لطالما تنعم بالحيوية والجمال، وتلقى جانباً عندما تفقد تلك المظاهر الفانية. وبخروجها عن دورها الذي أهلها الله إليه، ضاعت الأسرة التي هي صمام الأمان لكل مجتمع. فعند ضياع الأم ليس علينا أن نتوقع سوى انهيار المجتمع بأكمله، تأكيداً لقول حافظ إبراهيم "الأم مدرسة إذا أعددتها أعددت شعباً طيب الأعراق).


ولن يرتقي الشعب لمجرد تطبيق تلك الأفكار الحديثة الخاصة بمجرد خروج المرأة ومساواتها رأساً برأس في كل شيء، ولكن بوضع كل شيء في مكانه، فكل يسر لما خلق له. وعندما تتولى المرأة دورها الذي أنيط بها فستعود الأسرة إلى سابق مجدها وترتقي المجتمعات ارتقاءً مستداماً وليس ارتقاءً لحظياً.

لقد انجرت دولاً إسلامية كثيرة وراء تلك الدعوات المضللة التي أفقدت المرأة العربية والمسلمة هويتها وجمالها الذي حباها الله إياه. فلم تعد بالمرأة العربية المسلمة ذات القسمات الفريدة، كما أنها لن تكون تلك المرأة الغربية ولن يقبل بها الغرب، ونحن نعرف النظرة الدونية التي ينظر بها الغربيون إلى من هم سواهم. فهي الآن باتت فاقدة الهوية لا بالشرقية ولا بالغربية.

الآن وبعد الدخول في هذا النفق المظلم الذي أهدر المرأة وخدش حيائها وحولها إلى سلعة شأنها شأن أي شيء، أما آن الأوان لنعود بها إلى سابق مجدها. وعندما نتحدث عن مجد المرأة علينا أن نعود إلى عهد المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم وصحابته الكرام البررة.



فكيف طبقوا قول الحق في نسائهم وبناتهم وأخواتهم؟

ماذا عن قدوتنا صل الله عليه وسلم، كان جباراً مع نسائه أم كان قلباً حنوناً وصديقاً وفياً لزوجاته؟ هل تعامل معهن من علياء أم وقف إلى جوارهن وساعدهن داخل المنزل؟ علينا إلا نلصق بالإسلام ما ليس فيه. ومن يبتغي الحق عليه العودة مباشرة إلى كتاب الله وهدي نبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم، وليس إلى ممارسات قبلية لا تمت بصلة إلى الإسلام ونبيه الكريم.

الآن وبعد هذه التوطئة المهمة، جاء الدور للحديث عن مكانة المرأة في الإسلام بأسلوب علمي ومنطقي. من خلال العرض للنقاط التالية:
أولاً: مكانة المرأة في ضوء كتاب الله وسنة نبيه صل الله عليه وسلم.
أكد المولى عز وجل في كتابه الكريم على عظمة المرأة وأولاها عناية خاصة لما لها من دور خاص، ربما يفوق دور الرجل في الكثير من المواضع. كما أكد المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم، من خلال العديد من الأحاديث النبوية على رفعة قدر المرأة واحترامها. معروض أدناه للمرأة في المصدرين لندرك ويدرك العالم معنا، كيف أن الإسلام رفع المرأة ولم يهبط بها كما يحاول الملحدون والماجنون في الأرض وصفها:

أ. المرأة في القرآن الكريم:
قبل أن تصدر الدساتير الغربية، وقبل أن تقوم ثوراتهم بعشرات القرون، وفي زمن كانت فيه أوروبا تعيش حياة الغابة، ويأكلون لحوم بعضهم، كانت شمس الإسلام تضيء الجزيرة وأرض المشرق لتنبئ بفجر جديد. أتى الإسلام لينقذ البشرية من وحل الجهل والجاهلية، وليعيد للمرأة حقوقها المفقودة لتقوم بدورها الأمثل في رعاية أسرتها وتنمية مجتمعها.

تعددت الآيات التي وردت في كتاب الله التي تتحدث بشكل مباشر عن المرأة ووزنها في المجتمع وحقوقها وواجباتها وأهميتها كعضو فاعل في المجتمع المسلم. كما ورد الحديث عنها بشكل مباشر في الكثير من المواضع في كتاب الله، وذلك على النحو التالي:
(1) سورة النساء (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا (1)

(2) سورة الحجرات (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عَندَ اللهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ) (وَاللهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم منْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم منْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً) (مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً


(3) سورة النساء ( يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ ۚ فَإِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ ۖ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ ۚ وَلِأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَوَرِثَهُ أَبَوَاهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ ۚ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِي بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا ۚ فَرِيضَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا (11)


وللإسلام حكمة عظيمة من جعل حظ الرجل من الميراث ضعف حظ المرأة، نظراً لكونها غير مسئولة عن توفير الدخل للأسرة، بخلاف الرجل، وعند زواجها، حقوقها محفوظة، ولها أجر من زوجها، ومن ثم ففي الحقيقة لو تمعنا لأدركنا أن المرأة في الوضع الأفضل مقارنة بالرجل.

(4) سورة النحل (مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُون) ( 97 )

(5) سورة النساء ( وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا اكْتَسَبُوا ۖ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ ۚ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا (32))

(6) سورة النساء (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيراً وَنِسَاء وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءلُونَ بِهِ وَالأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا ) ( 1 )

(7) سورة التوبة (وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ (71)

(8) سورة النحل ( مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (97)

(9) سورة الحجرات ( يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (13)

(10) سورة النساء ( يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا ۖ وَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ ۚ وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ فَإِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا (19)

يتضح من تلك الآيات الكريمة كيف أن الإسلام ساوى بين الرجل والمرأة ولم يفضل بينهما كما يدعي المغرضون أعداء القيم بل وأعداء الإنسانية. فهم أعداء للإنسانية نظراً لأنهم يحاولون طمس وإخفاء وتشويه هذه الحقائق والقيم المضيئة. ولكن الله متم نوره ولو كره الكافرون.

ب. المرأة في السنة النبوية المطهرة.
لا يمكن ونحن نتحدث عن مكانة المرأة في الإسلام أن نمر هكذا دون التوقف في محطة رسول الله صل الله عليه وسلم، وتعظيمه وتقديره للمرأة، من خلال العديد من الأحاديث النبوية الشريفة، بل ومن خلال ممارساته العملية مع نسائه ونساء المسلمين. معروض أدناه لأمثلة من تلك الأحاديث:

(1) قال -صل الله عليه وسلم- : في خطبته الشهيرة: "استوصوا بالنساء خيرًا فإنهن عندكم عَوَان "يعني أسيرات.

(2) قال -صل الله عليه وسلم- رافعًا شأن المرأة، وشأن من اهتم بالمرأة على ضوابط الشرع: " خياركم, خياركم لنسائهم، خيركم , خيركم لأهله، وأنا خيركم لأهلي" صلوات الله وسلامه عليه.

(3) يأتيه [ابن عاصم المنقري]؛ ليحدثه عن ضحاياه، وعن جهله المُطْبِق، ضحاياه المؤودات فيقول : لقد وأدت يا رسول الله اثنتي عشرة منهن، فيقول –صل الله عليه وسلم-: "من لا يَرحم لا يُرحم ،من كانت له أنثى فلم يَئدْها، ولم يُهِنْها، ولم يؤثر ولده عليها، أدخله الله –عز وجل وتعالى- بها الجنة ".

(4) قال –صلوات الله وسلامه عليه-: "من عَالَ جاريتيْن حتى تبلغا، جاء يوم القيامة أنا وهو كهاتين، وضمَّ بين أصابعه صلوات الله وسلامه عليه"

(5) قال–صل الله عليه وسلم:" الساعي على الأرملة والمسكين كالمجاهد في سبيل الله، أو كالقائم لا يفتر، أو كالصائم لا يفطر"

(6) قوله –صل الله عليه وسلم-: أمٌّ مكرَّمَة مع الأب، أُمِرْنَا بحسن القول لهما (فَلاَ تَقُل لهما أُفٍّ) وحسن الرعاية (وَلاَ تَنْهَرْهُمَا) وحسن الاستماع إليهما والخطاب (وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلاً كَرِيمًا) وحسن الدعاء لهما (وَقُل رّبّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبّيَانِي صَغِيرًا).

(7) وقول الرسول صل الله عليه وسلم : " كلكم راع وكل مسئول عن رعيته فالرجل راع في أهل بيته، وهو مسئول عن رعيته، والمرأة راعية في بيت زوجها، وهي مسئولة عن رعيتها"

(8) وبعض الأحاديث تعطي للمرأة الأفضلية على الرجل كما جاء في الحديث: " من أحق الناس بحسن صحابتي. قال: أمك . قيل : ثم من؟ قال: أمك. قيل : ثم من؟ قال: أمك. قيل : ثم من؟ قال : أبوك ."

إذاً الإسلام من خلال مصدريه الرئيسين (القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية المطهرة) أكد على عظمة مكانة المرأة وارتقى بها في وقت كانت تعيش فيه أوروبا في ظلام الجهل والتخلف. وبعد أكثر من 14 قرناً، يخرج علينا الغربيون للحديث عن حرية المرأة وكيف أنها مهضومة في الإسلام. وما كان للغرب أن يتمادى في غيه لولا تخاذل الكثير من المسلمين والمسلمات خاصة أولائك الذين غسلت رؤوسهم وتغربوا عن مجتمعاتهم الإسلامية وتنكروا لقيمهم العظيمة، فأعطوا الفرصة لغير المسلمين للطعن في الإسلام وفي قيمه العظيمة، التي تشكل سفينة الإنقاذ الوحيدة لهذا العالم .
