Women (following �Dajjal�) in �Aakhir-uz-Zaman�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�Aakhir-uz-Zaman� refers to �End Times�. And when Islam talks about �End Times�,
there are some signs which have been told to us:

It was narrated that Hudhaifah bin Asad Al-Ghafari (RA) said:

The Prophet (PBUH) looked out over us when we were talking, and said, �What are you
talking about?� They said, �We are talking about the Hour.� He said, �It will never
come until you see ten signs: 1. Smoke, 2. �Dajjal�, 3. The Beast (of the Earth),
4. The rising of sun from its place of setting, 5. The descent of Eisa bin Mariam
(AS), 6. Yajuj & Majuj, 7., 8. & 9. Three landslides (one in the east, one in the
west and one in the Arabian peninsula). And the last (No. 10) of that will be a
fire which will emerge from Yemen and drive the people to their place of
gathering.�

(Hadith No. 7285 (2901), Book of Tribulations & Portents of the Hour, Sahih Muslim,
Vol. 7; Hadith No. 4311, Book of the Great Battles, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 4).

There are many other signs (of the Hour) which have been reported in various
narrations. Some of them are Al-Harj (killings), disappearance of trust,
preferential reatments, zina shall abound, alcohol drinking will be common, there
will be more women than men, liars will be in abundance, bedouins shall compete
with each other in constructing high buildings etc. All these are minor signs, and
we can see around us that most of these signs are already there. That means we are
living in the �End Times�. However, the major signs, as discussed in the hadith
above, are to be confirmed in order to confirm that the Hour has arrived; and one
of the major signs of that is appearance of �Dajjal�.

Regarding how severe an impact the fitnah of �Dajjal� will have on the people, the
Prophet (PBUH) said: Between the creation of Adam (AS) and the onset of the Hour,
there is no creation that has more impact than the �Dajjal� � (Hadith No. 7395
(2946), Book of Tribulations & Portents of the Hour, Sahih Muslim, Vol. 7).

We have talked about �Dajjal� in our other article titled ��Dajjal� � The False
Messiah�; the article is available at our website, and I request all to go through
it, for not only shall that be helpful in understanding the strange world we are
living in at present, but it shall also help in better understanding of today�s
discussion as well, Insha�Allah.

Our subject of discussion today shall throw light about how the women have been
affected by fitnah of �Dajjal�.

A. Women as the biggest followers of �Dajjal�

According to a hadith reported by Imam Ahmad, the Prophet (PBUH) said: �Dajjal�
will come to this pond in Marriqanaat � a valley in Madinah � and most of those who
go out to him will be women, until a man will come to his mother-in-law, his
mother, his daughter, his sister, and his aunt, and he will tie them up strongly
for fear that they will go out to him. This is narrated by Ibn Umar (RA).

This hadith tells us that the majority of the followers of �Dajjal� will be women.
And the impact of �Dajjal� on women will be of such intensity that it will require
men of a family to coercively stop their women folk from being deceived by fitnah
of �Dajjal�.

Unfortunately, the world is witnessing this at present. The women (majority, not
all) have fallen prey to the deceptive tactics of �Dajjal�. Males who also have
become followers of �Dajjal� tend to support the modern woman in her new idea of
living life. While the males who understand the deception of �Dajjal� and do not
want to see their women-folk go astray, do not support the modern woman in her
perverted ideology. They try their best to advise her about the grave consequences
of following the footsteps of �Dajjal�; but the impact of fitnah of �Dajjal� on the
modern woman is of such intensity that such males find it extremely difficult to
control their womenfolk. That is what the later part of above mentioned hadith
refers to when it is said that �a man will have to coercively stop her womenfolk�
from following �Dajjal�.

Let us see how �Dajjal� has lured the modern woman to follow him.

B. The �Feminist revolution� of �Dajjal�

It is essential that we understand about �Dajjal� and his mission properly in order
to understand why actually �Dajjal� lures women into his deceptive world. I repeat
my request to my readers that they refer to the article titled �Dajjal � The False
Messiah� available on our website to learn more about �Dajjal�.

�Dajjal� is all about deception; therefore, in order to achieve the goal of global
imperialism for Zionists-Jews, �Dajjal� uses different types of weapons; and all
his weaponry is based on deception. This is beautifully explained in following
hadith:

It was narrated from Hudhaifah (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said concerning
�Dajjal�, �He will have water and fire with him; but his fire is cool water and his
water is fire, so do not destroy yourselves.�
(Hadith No. 7368 (2934), Book of Tribulations & Portents of the Hour, Sahih Muslim,
Vol. 7).

The biggest hurdle in the way of accomplishment of Zionists� mission had always
been Islam, and so they, masterminded by �Dajjal�, try every trick in their book to
fight Islam. A Muslim society which is based on the principles of Islam (Qur�an and
Sunnah) is a robust society, well knitted into a united force, blessed by Allah,
which becomes a difficult proposition for every enemy. But a Muslim society which
is not based on principles of Islam cannot be a genuine Muslim society. It will be
weak and feeble, devoid of Allah�s blessings. It will be like a hollow container
which can make lot of noise, but is not strong enough to withstand the external
pressures/forces/attacks. And this is exactly what �Dajjal� aims to do.

The �Feminist Revolution� is one of the many deceptive weapons used by �Dajjal� to
attack the integrity of Muslim society. Based on the deceptive tactics (water shown
as fire, and fire shown as water), all such acts which are condemned and prohibited
in Islam are advertised as correct and fruitful acts, while the acts which Islam
recommends are being portrayed as wrong and negative. The plan is devised on the
false cries/calls about equality of women with men, exploitation of rights of women
and the mistreatment meted out to women.

This master-stroke from �Dajjal� ensures that Muslim women are made to disobey
Allah�s Commands concerning women. It is a strategically designed plan aimed to
attack the integrity of the Muslim society and facilitate the ultimate mission of
the Zionists.

We shall now try to understand how �Dajjal� makes our women go against the Commands
of Allah:

B.1. Women assuming the role of men in a family; they want to pursue professional
careers; they ignore their responsibilities towards their homes/kids/husbands etc.;
they are no more obedient to their husbands; they are the final authority to take a
decision in family matters.

A happily married life is the starting point of development of an educated and

well-guided society. A man and a woman marry, they start a family, new lives come
into being, and this is how society develops. This relation of husband and a wife
is a very important relation, which, if not maintained properly, can have adverse
effects on the society. In order to maintain a balance in this relationship, Allah
has laid down some principles:

���������� ����������� ����� ���������� ����� ������� ������� ���������� �����

������ ������� ��������� ���� ������������� ��������������� ���������� ����������
���������� ����� ������ ������� ����������� ���������� ������������ ������������
��������������� ��� ������������ ��������������� ������ ������������ ���� ��������
����������� �������� ����� ������� ����� �������� ��������

�Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of
them to excel the other, and because they spend from their means. Therefore, the
righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in the husband�s absence what
Allah orders them to guard. As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct,
admonish them (first), (then) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them; but
if they return to obedience, seek not against them means. Surely, Allah is Ever
Most High, Most Great.�
(Aayah No. 34, Surah An-Nisa�, Chapter No. 4, Holy Qur�an).

This verse from Qur�an explains the status of husband and a wife in the relation;
the responsibilities and rights of each other. The first part tells us that men are
protectors and maintainers of the women i.e. care-takers of the women. Some men
take this verse as implying that men have a higher status over women, which is a
wrong explanation. Men are physically stronger than women and they earn livelihood
for them and their families. Earning bread is not an easy task and a person comes
across so many hurdles which he has to overcome in order to earn livelihood. Then
he spends it on his wife (and other dependants) for all her (and their) needs. This
is the responsibility of a husband. Along with this, husband has to protect his
wife from all worries of outer world, from bad eyes of people and give her a
dignified life along with his love. Refer to following hadith:

It was reported from Hakim bin Mu�awiyah Al-Qushairi, from his father, that he
asked, �O Allah�s Messenger (PBUH)! What are the rights that our wives have over
us?� He replied, �That you feed her when you eat, and clothe her when you wear
clothes, and that you avoid hitting her in face or disgracing her, and that you
avoid abandoning her except at home.�
(Hadith No. 2142, Book of Marriage, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 2).

This is what is meant by men being care-takers of the women; there is no question
of men having a higher status over women. It is just Allah�s decision to make men
responsible for this job. So, women should not feel that this verse is against
them. Neither should men try to use this verse to emphasize their superiority over
women.

So, Allah puts this huge responsibility on shoulders of men that they should go out
in search of work and earning livelihood for themselves as well as their families.

And, in the same verse (Aayah No. 34, Surah An-Nisa�), Allah mentions that woman is
a guardian in her husband�s absence. The husband goes out to earn livelihood. The
wife stays at home. It is her duty, in absence of her husband, to be a guardian.
But then a question comes: What is she supposed to guard?

Narrated Ibn Umar (RA): The Prophet (PBUH) said, �All of you are guardians and are
responsible for your words. The ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian of
his family; the lady is a guardian and is responsible for her husband�s house and
his off-spring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your
words.�
(Hadith No. 5200, Book of Nikah, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 7).

This makes it clear that it is the responsibility of a wife to take care of her
husband�s house, their children and her husband�s wealth, when he is away from the
home. She has to guard her chastity in absence of her husband. If the parents of
her husband are alive and live with them, it is her responsibility to take care of
them.

But the modern day women simply do not accept this anymore. They want to be the
bread-earners for their families instead of their husbands (and/or brothers,
fathers, sons etc.). They like to assume the role which is not designed for them.
But this is a mistake, as they are unaware of the huge price they (and their
families) have to pay for this.

Such a situation is bound to bring either of the following two scenarios in a

family. While in case of exceptions and emergencies, any of these cases will be
permissible, but under normal circumstances, none of these cases are correct from
Islamic point of view.

B.1.1. Scenario 1 � Woman works outside to carry on the assumed role of family-
maintainer, while the husband stays at home and takes care of the house and kids.

This scenario is against the nature, and is bound to bring following problems:

1. Man�s nature is not to stay at home. He likes to socialize. Allah has created
man like that. After few days of his persistent stay at home, he will start getting
uncomfortable.

2. A father (i.e. a man) doesn�t understand the kids as well as a mother. Allah has
made mother like that. She knows what the kid wants and when. An outcry from a kid
is understood by mother as if the kid is speaking to her about her need, while a
father won�t be able to make anything out of the same cry of his kid. Mothers lose
sleep over their kids; they remain awake whole night to ensure that their kids
sleep sound (Will she be able to do so if she has to go out every morning for whole
day?). Mothers are patient with demands of kids; fathers are bound to lose
patience. Fathers simply can�t match mothers in this aspect. I am a father; I know
the difference between me and the mother of my kids.

3. If husband stays at home whole day, and when wife comes tired from her daily
work, she won�t be able to fulfil physical desires of her husband properly. This
then leads to clashes and complexities in relationships.

No one should be surprized by this, for Allah has made men and women like that;
they are different, and so are their roles.

Therefore, it is a simple matter of going against nature of Allah�s creation when a

wife works outside to earn bread for her family, while the husband stays at home to
take care of house and kids.

B.1.2. Scenario 2 � Both husband and wife work to earn livelihood, and leave their
homes and upbringing of children at the mercy of maids, or hostels, or Day-care
centres for kids.

In this scenario, both husband and wife work outside, and leave their kids in hands
of maids, or hostels or Day-care centres. This is even worse than the previous
scenario. Can we imagine that maids or day-care centre attendants will be able to
give to the kids the same intensity of care and affection that a mother (or even
father) can give? What upbringing do you expect for your kids in such a scenario?
To make matters worse, some of us keep maids who are Non-Muslims. Isn�t it a pity
that a Muslim child who has well-educated parents, is being brought up under the
guidance of a Non-Muslim maid, simply because the mother do not have time to fulfil
her responsibilities as a mother. Who will teach the child morals of life from
Islamic perspective? Who will teach the child the rulings of Islam? Who will guide
the child in his/her day-to-day activities about what is right and what is wrong in
view of Allah?

Is this the way we envisage development of our society?

B.1.3. So, does that means that Islam does not allow women to work and pursue
professional careers?

No, that is not true.

From Islamic point of view, there is no harm if a married woman works. She is
allowed to pursue professional careers, earn money and prosper. Example can be
taken of Syeda Khadija (RA); she was a successful businesswoman.

In fact, it is responsibility of our society to produce female doctors specialized

in gynaecology and radiology. Islamic principles ask for treatment of women
patients for gynaecological problems exclusively by female doctors. Similarly,
Muslim society should have specialized female doctors to carry out tests like
Ultrasound etc. for female patients. In order that women pursue these careers, they
need to study these courses. Here comes need of another career for Muslim females,
that of a teacher, who can teach these courses to female students.

Therefore, it is need of the hour that females come forward and take on meaningful
career roles.

Also there is also no harm if a wife intends to pursue any of her creative hobbies
(like craft, arts etc.). Such works can be done from home itself. Husbands should
be understanding and supportive in such cases.

But, there has to be a check and balance in this matter.

a) If a married woman, who is a mother too, goes for her professional career, then
what about her responsibilities towards upbringing of her children, towards her
husband�s house, towards her husband? If she can manage to fulfill all these
responsibilities satisfactorily, then she has the right to go for professional
careers as well; nothing stops her from doing so.

But, if the price being paid for taking on these professional careers by a married
woman is that she will have to leave-off her duties as a wife and as a mother,
thereby leaving her home and kids at the mercy of others, then the matter is of
serious concern. This, then, will be just the initial price; there will be lot more
she will have to pay, which we will discuss at different stages of our discussion,
Insha�Allah.

b) The career she opts for should be a meaningful one. Tell me what is the point in
a lady working as a bank executive, or on any other similar post? This point hurts
me a lot when I connect it to modern times. Several women can be seen working in
places just for the sake of pursuing their careers (they might not be requiring
money as the financial needs of their families might have been taken care of by
their husbands/fathers/brothers already), whereas on the other hand, several men
are unable to find a suitable job for them and hence are finding it difficult to
earn bread for their families. Imagine, if these ladies had not been working, it
would have created extra vacancies that could have helped many men earn livelihood
for their families.

c) Working ladies should ensure that they observe all do(s) and don�t(s) for women
in Islam, like Hijab etc.

Having said this, please remember, taking care of husband�s home and up-bringing of
the children (i.e. the role of a lady as a wife and as a mother) is the biggest
responsibility of a woman. Islam rates mother as the highest in ranks among all
relatives (the status of mother is three times higher than father):

�And we have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother
bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in
two years � give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final
destination.�

(Aayah No. 14, Surah Luqman, Chapter No. 31, Holy Qur�an).

and,

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: A man came to Allah�s Messenger (PBUH)
and asked, �Which of the people is most deserving of my best companionship?� He
said, �Your mother.� He said, �Then who?� He said, �Then your mother.� He said,
�Then who?� He said, �Then your mother.� He said, �Then who?� He said, �Then your
father.�

(Hadith No. 6500 (2548), Book of Al-Birr, Sahih Muslim, Vol. 6).

This great status for a mother in Islam is not just for name-sake; it is a reward
due to the hardships she undergoes while bearing the child in her womb, the
sleepless nights she spends in weaning her children, the efforts she puts and pains
she endures during the process of upbringing and developing her children.This is
what Allah wants her to do. Getting away from this responsibility and trying to
assume the role of men in a family is nothing but a deception which can prove to be
lethal for women (individually) as well as for families, both in this world as well
as in Hereafter.

B.2. Women abandoning the �Hijab�

The obligation of �Hijab� which is specified in Qur�an is being challenged all

around. It is portrayed as oppression towards the women, and slowly & gradually,
women are being made to accept that, and they have abandoned �Hijab�.

If you talk to Muslim women now, majority of them will try to press hard that the
scholars of Islam, and consequently the community as a whole, have a
misunderstanding or misinterpretation of Qur�anic verses (Aayah No. 59, Surah Al-
Ahzab, Chapter No. 33; Aayah No. 31, Surah An-Nur, Chapter No. 24) related to
�Hijab�. They will argue about it to the maximum.

Some women take an excuse by saying that they abandon their �Hijab� because their
husbands want them to do so, and they have to be obedient to their husbands. Some
husbands really do feel happy and elated when their wives abandon Hijab.

Amazin! Isn�t it? If a husband asks his wife to be dutiful towards his parents,
then she will not be so obedient to her husband, although this is a righteous deed
which he is expecting from his wife. But when the same husband asks her to do an
act which is against Allah�s Command, then she readily agrees to do it.

They will do whatever it takes to prove that the obligation of �Hijab� is not
correct. �Dajjal� ensures that the modern day woman doesn�t obey yet another
Command from Allah.

This is a big step towards erosion of morals in society.

B.3. Women clothing gets shorter, lesser and skimpier.

�Dajjal� didn�t stop at convincing the women to abandon �Hijab�. He went on to put
in the minds of women the concept of modern fashion. This led to a revolutionary
change in clothing of the women. The clothes started getting shorter, the fabric
kept getting thinner and thinner, the design of dresses started getting skimpier
and tighter; and the end result now is that the clothes for women are designed with
an intent that the beauty of woman�s body who wears that outfit should be on full
public display. Modesty has taken a back seat. In fact, a modern woman says that if
her cleavage is not visible, then her dress is not good. What a shame! They have
forgotten the words of Allah�s Messenger (PBUH):

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) said: �There
are two types of the people of Hell whom I have not seen: People having whips,
like the tails of cows, with which they strike the people; and women who are
clothed yet naked (i.e. scantily dressed), with their heads like the humps of
camels leaning to one side. They will not enter Paradise nor smell its (Jannah�s)
fragrance, and its fragrance may be detected from such & such distance.�

(Hadith No. 5582 (2128), Book about Clothing & Adornment, Sahih Muslim, Vol. 5).

Why don�t women understand? What has happened to my Muslim sisters in particular?
Can�t they understand that all these revealing outfits (advocated by industries
like modeling, film industry etc.) are in fact downgrading them? Can�t they see
that they are being made an object of lure and attraction? If not, what can explain
a semi-nude attractive girl posing in advertisement of almost every product
nowadays? We don�t need a PhD to understand this.

�Dajjal� has succeeded in duping the modern woman into this filth.

B.4. Women start wearing dresses meant for men.

When �Dajjal� spreads the call for women�s liberation, when it is said that women
have been oppressed by Islam for so many years and hence they should be liberated,
a feeling of being let down develops in the women. And that leads them to think
that they should now make up for all the exploitation that they had suffered so
far. They go ahead to compete with men in an effort to prove that they are no
inferior to men in any way. In order to do so, they even start wearing the clothes
which are symbolic of men. After all they have to prove that they are equal to
males in all aspects. But they forget yet another saying of Allah�s Messenger
(PBUH):

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) cursed men
who wear women�s clothes and women who wear men�s clothes.
(Hadith No. 4098, Book of Clothing, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 4).

I call my Muslims sisters, all those who are involved in doing so, to read the
above mentioned words of Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) and take heed.

B.5. Women do not want to get married.

We discussed above how the woman now is not willing to undertake the
responsibilities of husband, his house and upbringing of the children. But to add
to the woes, the matter has gone a step ahead now. In their journey of attractive
professions, women now have started raising voice about �why at all should they
marry�. I myself am a witness to one radio programme aired some years back, in
which a female RJ was requesting the listeners to call her and convince her �why
should she get married�.

Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) says: �Marriage is a part of my Sunnah, and whoever does
not follow my Sunnah has nothing to do with me��. � (Hadith No. 1846, Chapters on
Marriage, Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 3).

But the modern woman thinks otherwise. She doesn�t care about what Allah�s
Messenger (PBUH) has said. So what if not marrying will lay a trap for her for
falling into acts of fornication; it doesn�t matter to the modern woman at all now.
She can have children out of wedlock. She is okay with not giving a father�s name
to her children. After all, her ideal is �Dajjal�.

B.6. Women do not want to bear children.

It was narrated that Yahya bin Ma�mar said: �.. Abdullah bin Umar (RA) said: My
father, Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA), told me: �While we were with Allah�s Messenger
(PBUH) one day, a man came to us whose garment was exceedingly white and whose hair
were exceedingly black, and there were no signs of travel on him, and none of us
knew who he was. He came and sat before the Prophet (PBUH), resting his knees
against his and placing his hands on his thighs. He said: �O Muhammad (PBUH)! �..
Tell me about the Hour.� He (the Prophet, PBUH) said: �The one who is asked about
it does not know more than the one who is asking.� He (the man) said: �Then tell me
about its signs.� He (the Prophet, PBUH) said: �When the slave woman gives birth to
her mistress, and when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing
in the construction of lofty buildings.��.. The Prophet (PBUH) then told his
companions that the questioner was Jibra�il (AS)��
(Hadith No. 93 (8), Book of Faith, Sahih Muslim, Vol. 1).

We shall concentrate on the statement �when the slave woman gives birth to her
mistress��. This is a difficult statement from the hadith to understand in context
of signs of the Hour. Different scholars have derived different inferences out of
this.

Some scholars consider this as hinting towards a situation where there will plenty
of slave women giving births to the kids of their masters. But I am not too much
convinced by this understanding as this situation used to exist in earlier times,
whereas this hadith is in context of �End Times�.

Some others explain this by saying that it refers to disobedient children, kids who
do not respect their mothers (parents) and behave with them badly; they treat their
parents as their slaves (Astaghfirallah). This explanation seems better than the
previous one.

But the best explanation from my point of view is this one:

Modern woman is busy fulfilling demands of her professional careers. Modern

glamorous careers like modeling, acting, TV anchoring etc. require that a woman
appears in her best possible looks; after all they need their viewers to be glued
to their productions/presentations. So, she either

� ignores marrying totally, or

� she delays her marriage unless she reaches an age where her looks start wearing
out and the glamour industry no more finds her suitable for the intended purpose,
or
� she marries timely but doesn�t want to have babies in order to maintain her
figure/looks.

We have already talked about the first point in previous section; so let us now
concentrate on the other two points.

If she marries late (i.e. in age above 35-40), she finds it difficult to conceive a
baby. We know that from medical point of view, the probability of conceiving a baby
for a woman start getting lesser when she goes above the age of late thirties,
although it doesn�t mean that she can�t conceive at all. But the fertility of a
woman is at its best when she is in her teens and remains good till late thirties;
after that it starts getting lower.

Similarly, there is a woman who has married timely, wants a baby, but at the same
time doesn�t want to do it on her own (i.e. do not want to conceive it in her womb)
in order to maintain her attractive body figure.

�Dajjal� and his followers ensure that these thoughts do not escape from minds of
the women; so they bring forward a solution to cater to the needs of such women.
That alternate solution is �Surrogacy�.

So such women, who are financially very well off, go out in search of poor women,
who are badly in need of money, and hire them to act as surrogate mothers. These
poor women carry the pregnancy for the intended parents. This is done in various
manners; �In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)� is one of the common methods used.

The child takes birth, and is then handed over to the rich parents (the so-called
parents). The child now grows up in the riches around. A girl born of such
surrogacy is a rich girl in the making, while her actual mother remains a slave.
This phenomenon completes the meaning of the statement: �a slave woman gives birth
to her mistress�.

And Allah knows best.

B.7. Women undertaking long travels without any Mahram male

The modern professional careers sometimes ask for tours out of work place. These
outings can sometimes be out of the country (or city of your residence), and at
times these can last for many days (even weeks or months in some cases).

Review this in context of a female professional, who is in complete following of

�Dajjal�s deceptive footprints. She is modern; she has no hesitation in mixing with
members of opposite gender; she wears glamorous outfits with her body on public
display; and she is ready to undertake journeys out of her work/living place all
alone (i.e. without any Mahram male accompanying her on such tours), or even with
Non-Mahram male(s) with her.

So where the following hadith stands for such a lady:

It was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said, �It is
not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the �Last Day� to travel for
a distance of three nights, unless she has a Mahram with her.�
(Hadith No. 3260 (1338), Book of Hajj, Sahih Muslim, Vol. 3).

Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) has laid down a condition that no believer woman should
undertake a journey/travel which is of a length/duration of three nights or more
without a company of a Mahram male. In some other narrations, it is even mentioned
about a reduced extent of a journey (for one day/night). This is such an important
ruling that based on it a Muslim woman is not even allowed to go for Hajj without a
Mahram male accompanying her. Can there be any travel more important than Hajj for
a Muslim?

But the modern woman does not believe in any such sayings of the Prophet (PBUH).
She believes in what �Dajjal� and his supporters teach her.

B.8. Women becoming heads of communities

The urge of modern women to prove to the world that she is no less than her male
counterparts, accompanied by obvious global support to this �feminist revolution�,
doesn�t stops by taking the women out of her husband�s home to professional
offices; it even vouches for making women the heads of communities. We can see many
female Prime Ministers and Presidents of countries. In context of Non-Muslims, this
holds no importance; but for Muslim communities, it goes against the teachings of
Allah�s Messenger (PBUH):

When Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) was informed that the Persians had crowned the
daughter of Kisra (Khusrau) as their ruler, he said, �Such people as ruled by a
lady will never be successful.�

(Hadith No�s 4425 & 7099, Book of Al-Maghazi & Book of Al-Fitan, Sahih Bukhari,
Vol. 5 & Vol. 9).

Do I need to mention countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan now?

B.9. Women do not want their husbands to marry anyone except them.

�And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls
then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that
you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then �only one� or that your
right hands possess (the slaves). That is nearer to prevent you from doing
injustice.�
(Aayah No. 3, Surah An-Nisa�, Chapter No. 4, Holy Qur�an).

This gives a Muslim man permission/right to marry four women, subject to the
condition that he should be able to do justice with all his wives (in all aspects,
except for such which are beyond one�s control) and observing all do(s) and
don�t(s) of a Muslim marriage. But this right of a man has been made a mockery of,
unfortunately, in modern times. While some men misuse this permission to fulfill
their never-ending desires of lust, at the same time the modern woman simply
rejects this right of a married man.

Modern woman just does not want to listen about this matter at all. She is of the
view that if a man marries more than one woman, it is by default because of his
crooked nature of having more and more women to satisfy his lust. She simply cannot
accept any other women as a wife of her husband, so what if Allah has given this
right to the man. She doesn�t care about Qur�an; she doesn�t care about Allah�s
Words.

Let us analyze what could be the different reasons which may call for a Muslim man
to marry more than once, and how the attitude of modern women pushes her into
sinful acts in all such cases;

� Islam takes a very serious view of women who are divorced, widowed or are not
getting married due to their poor family backgrounds or other similar reasons.
Islam recommends its male followers to take initiative in such matters and marry
such needy women so as to enable them to lead honorable lives. We have example of
our Prophet�s (PBUH) plural marriages for us to understand this.

Imagine a divorced lady or a widow, living all by herself, with no male to take
care of her livelihood and other requirements in such a filthy society of modern
times. She will be subject to eyes of bad elements of the society who will try to
take advantage of her loneliness (we should be honest and courageous enough to
accept that this is what happens in our society; therefore, there is no point in
arguing against such eventualities).

The unmarried males will be looking for unmarried spouses; and they have the right
to do so as recommended by the Prophet (PBUH):

Jabir bin Abdullah (RA) narrated: Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) said to me, �Have you
gotten married?� I replied, �Yes.� He said, �To a virgin, or one previously arried?
� I said, �To one previously married.� He said, �And why not to a virgin whom you
would play with, and who would play with you?�
Hadith No. 2048, Book of Marriage, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 2).

Therefore, the biggest responsibility of taking care of such women falls on the
shoulders of males who are already married.
All such wives (of married Muslim males) who do not want to let their husbands have
another wife along with them end up opposing this recommendation of Islam. They
indirectly add to the woes of their ailing Muslim sisters.

� A married man may not be able to have children by his first wife due to
complications with his wives reproductory system. This is a genuine reason which
can motivate the man to go for another wife. He can do so by marrying another woman
and at the same time keeping his previous wife also with him, and can live happily
with both his wives.

Modern wife will not let it happen; of course exceptions can always be found. She
will say why can�t we live without children; thereby, trying to deny the man of his
right to have children. If this doesn�t works, she will come up with a condition
that if he marries another woman, she won�t stay with him. So he has to choose
either she or the new one. She actually threatens the man by asking for divorce if
he dares to go for another marriage. She forgets that not only is she trying to eat
the right of her husband, but she is also committing a grave sin by asking for
divorce without a genuine reason; refer to following narration:

Thawban (RA) reported that Allah�s Messenger (PBUH) said: �Any woman who asks her
husband for a divorce without any cause will be prohibited from smelling the
fragrance of Paradise.�
(Hadith No. 2226, Book of Divorce, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 3).

These two are the major two reasons which call for exercising this right of
�Polygamy� by Muslim males. However, if a man marries more than once even without
any such reason, still we do not have any right to label him as wrongdoer unless a
genuine wrong intention on his part is proven beyond any doubts.

Modern woman doesn�t accept this. She tries to introduce lots of if(s) and but(s)
to find a way out. Some of the common points raised by modern woman (and her
supporters) are:

� She says: �A married man needs to take permission from his existing wife for
marrying another woman�.

This is absolute nonsense, for there is no such ruling in Islam which says that a
married man has to do so.

� She says: �Polygamy is allowed on a condition that the man should be able to do
justice with all her wives. And as I am not happy with him marrying another woman,
and so this is injustice to me. Hence, he cannot marry another woman by making me
unhappy.�

This is yet another hollow statement from modern woman and her supporters. The
ruling of �Polygamy� is based on the verse of Qur�an (Aayah 3, Surah An-Nisa�,
Chapter 4, Holy Qur�an). If we are Muslims, then we have to have complete faith in
each and every verse of Qur�an. I ask modern woman and her supporters:

Do you reject this verse of Qur�an? If you believe in Qur�an, that means you
believe in this verse too; therefore, what makes you unhappy about it? Or do you
believe in Qur�an partially? If that is the case, then let me remind you about
following verse of Qur�an:

��������������� �������� ���������� ������������� �������� ����� ������� ����

�������� ������ �������� ������ ������ ��� ���������� ���������� ��������
������������ ���������� ����� ������� ���������� ����� ������� ��������� ������
�����������

�Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is
the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this
world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous
torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.�
(Aayah No. 85, Surah Al-Baqarah, Chapter No. 2, Holy Qur�an).

Even after having such guidelines from Allah�s Book and His Messenger�s (PBUH)
Sunnah, the modern woman just doesn�t want to accept this. If her husband is guilty
of gambling she can accept it, if her husband drinks alcohol she can accept it, if
her husband doesn�t offer Salat regularly she will accept it, if her husband
doesn�t observe Saum regularly she will accept it, but if her husband marries
another woman she will never accept it.

For her all the grave sins in Islam are acceptable when it comes to her husband�s
exclusivity for her, while Polygamy is the gravest of all sins for her.

She doesn�t care about her Muslim sisters who are widows or divorced; it is of no
concern to her if her fellow Muslim sisters lead a miserable life. She doesn�t care
about the rulings of Qur�an. For her it doesn�t matter if it is Allah�s Word that
permits a man to do so. All she knows is that she is not going to accept her
husband having any other wife.

Such is the intensity of impact of fitnah of �Dajjal� on modern woman. It is a

complete brainwash.

Note: Sections B.1, B.6 & B.9 discussed above are relevant to married women;
Section B.5 is relevant to unmarried women; Sections B.2, B.3, B.4, B.7 & B.8 are
relevant to both married as well as unmarried women.

Concluding Remarks

We and particularly Muslim women (and the voices supporting the �Feminist
revolution of �Dajjal�), should realize that all these talks about equality and
women not being treated well in Islam are baseless, coming out of ignorance and
lack of proper knowledge about Islam. When talking about equality, we should be
very clear that in front of Allah, both men and women are equal. This is evident by
following verse of Qur�an:
����� �������������� ���������������� ���������������� ����������������
��������������� ��������������� ��������������� ��������������� ���������������
��������������� ��������������� ��������������� �������������������

�Verily, the Muslims men & women, the believers men & women, the men and women who
are obedient (to Allah), the men & women who are truthful, the men & women who are
patient, the men & women who are humble, the men & women who give Sadaqat (i.e.
Zakat & alms), the men & women who observe Saum (the fast), the men & women who
guard their chastity, and the men & women who remember Allah much with their hearts
and tongues � Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward.�
(Aayah No. 35, Surah Al-Ahzab, Chapter No. 33, Holy Qur�an).

Therefore, men and women are equal in front of Allah.

Men & women are equal in most of the aspects, but not similar in all aspects. Allah
has made men and women different; different in appearance, different in looks,
different in capabilities, different in roles and responsibilities. Refer to
following:

����������� ����� �������

�By the night, as it envelops,�

������������ ����� ��������

�By the day, as it appears in brightness;�

����� ������ ��������� �����������

�By Him, Who created male and female;�

����� ���������� ��������

�Certainly your efforts and deeds are diverse.�

(Aayah No�s 1 to 4, Surah Al-Lail, Chapter No. 92, Holy Qur�an).

These verses tell us that Allah has created men and women for different roles and
responsibilities, similar to the creation of night and day. If it was to be day
only and no night, or had it been other way round, that would have caused a big
imbalance in nature. Day has a different role in man�s life while night serves
another purpose. They both are complimentary to each other. Both are equally
important, but both are not similar.

Basic differences in rights and responsibilities are due to biological, physical

and physiological differences in the two genders. For example: a woman�s body has
been designed by The Almighty to give birth to a baby, and a man cannot do that.
Similarly, man has been designed to undertake tough jobs which are suitable for his
make. Allah has blessed both genders with different capabilities (and different
limitations), according to the different roles they are supposed to play in the
world.

Just give it a thought, why are there separate competitions for men and women in
international sporting events? Why a separate Wimbledon Championship for women
and another for men? If they advocate equality

Thus, it is not a matter of equality; rather it is a matter of (maintaining)

balance in the Muslim society. Hence the roles and responsibilities of men and
women are different; though both are equal in significance in front of Allah.

Therefore, I appeal to all my sisters globally, and to Muslim sisters in

particular:

Give a serious and impartial thought to all the points discussed Section B of this
article. Try to understand and correlate the adverse effects these actions have
(cumulatively and individually) on your individual life and its dignity, on the
dignity of women as a whole community, on the dignity/image of Muslim community, on
the image of Islam, on the lives of your family members, on the dignity of your
families/husbands/parents, on the account of deeds which is being maintained by
Allah for which you (and everyone) will be questioned by Allah in the Hereafter, on
the prospects of your life in Hereafter etc. Is there anything positive about this
modern approach of yours?

Dear sisters! Please get out of this deceptive web of �Dajjal�. Understand your
worth. Understand your roles. Yes, you have the right to raise your voice for your
rights; and Islam is very clear about the fact that none of the rights of a woman
should be exploited by others, she should be given her due rights just like
everybody else should be given his/her rights. This is what a just society calls
for. But talking about rights alone doesn�t serve the purpose. Rights always come
with responsibilities. Undertake your responsibilities, ordained on you by Almighty
Allah, honestly. Do not degrade yourself by entering into this wrong argument of
being on equal terms with male counterparts which compels you to go against the
rulings of Islam. You are already equal, rather, above in status as compared to a
man, only if you knew that. Please maintain the order of high status Islam has laid
down for you.

My dear sisters! Please wake up to the reality before it is too late.

Please remember, Allah is our Creator. He knows what is better for us; we are mere
mortals and it is impossible for us to match Allah�s wisdom. We can�t challenge His
words; no one ever has done any good to himself by doing so. I request all to
concentrate on their respective roles, instead of raising challenges to the rulings
of Qur�an. Fulfill respective responsibilities in a righteous manner, and be sure
that Allah shall treat both His creations on an equal footing, solely on the basis
of their faith and deeds.

Insha�Allah!

�Whoever works righteousness � whether male or a female � while he (or she) is a

true believer, verily, to him (her) We will give a good life (in this world), and
We shall pay them certainly a reward (in Hereafter) in proportion to the best of
what they used to do.�
(Aayah No. 97, Surah An-Nahl, Chapter No. 16, Holy Qur�an).

And Allah knows best.
