The Social System is defined as the set of rules that organize all
the relationships and interactions between men and women in

the public and private sphere of life and all that branches out
from their mutual relationship

 The basis of equality can only be used to organize Man-Woman relationship if both are the sexes are identical In this case same rights and same duties can be assigned to each gender

 Science has proven that Man and Woman are similar in a lot of attributes but at the same time they differ in many others They differ in terms of
physiology, emotions, mental capabilities, hormones, child birth etc

Common Attributes

Man

Woman

Man is unable to precisely identify the commonalities and differences between man and woman and hence is incapable to assign precise rights and duties corresponding to their respective capabilities

Attributes specific to Men

Attributes Specific to women

 Capitalism gives a simplistic solution to this very complex human problem and declares that man and woman will be considered completely identical and thus will be assigned same rights, duties and roles
Asking a weak and a strong pupil of the same class to lift 40Kg weight may be equality but this is not justice given the abilities of the two students Similarly same rights/duties for inherently different genders (man & woman) may be seen as equality but definitely it cannot be seen as justice The West also recognizes these differences and this is why men and woman compete separately in all types of sport

 In the eyes of Islam and society Man and Woman are equal but they are different and hence must have different roles

When Woman happens to be a mother she has authority over man who happens to be his son
Man when assuming the role of father and husband has a leading role over his daughter and wife

Allah says whose meaning could be translated as "Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer verily, to him will give a good life, and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do" [An- Nahl: 97] And "And whosoever does righteous deeds, male or female, and is a true believer, such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice will be done to them even to the size of a naqir (speck on the back of a date-stone)" [AnNisa: 124] And "So their Lord accepted of them, never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another" [AlImran:195] Thus, Islam came with different rules, some of which are particular to men and some of which are special to women such as pregnancy, childbirth, suckling, custodianship and the waiting period. And it distinguished between men and women with regards to a section of these rules and ordered them to accept what Allah has specially assigned for them in terms of these rules And He said: "And wish not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel others. For men there is allotted from what they have earned, (and likewise) from women there is allotted for what they have earned" [TMQ: An- Nisa: 32]

In Islam, both men and women Based on the concepts of Freedom & equality the system tries to burden conduct their lives according to the each with the same rights and duties Commandments of Allah (swt) in their general and specific responsibilities The equality stems from the reward and punishment that they will receive from Allah (swt) for fulfilling or neglecting their responsibilities 1 Allah (swt) created men and women Man and woman are completely as clearly distinct in their physiology, equal in all regards and such a distinction has mandated certain responsibilities specific to Under this guise of equality man each 2 has actually forced the woman to share his burden of responsibilities such as providing food, shelter and financial support etc.

"Verily, the Muslims, men and women, the believers men and women, and the men and women who are obedient (to Allah), the men and women who are patient, the men and women who are humble, the men and women who give Sadaqat, and the fasting men and women, and the men and women who guard their chastity, and the men and women who remember Allah much. Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward" [Al- Ahzab: 35] 2. Man gives meher to his wife not the other way around "And give to the women (whom you marry) their mahr with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm" [TMQ: An- Nisa: 4]. Man is responsible for the sustenance of his family "But the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother's food and clothing [TMQ: Al- Baqarah: 233].

Woman has the same rights On the other hand duties such as child and duties as that of Man 1 bearing, feeding the baby etc remains with except for those which Islam the woman as a natural physiological has specified exclusively for man or woman 2 obligation which can never be shared by man equally. As a result woman in the west ends up fulfilling her duties obligated by nature and the duties of man which are passed on to her under the fake pretext of equality. Poor liberated woman!!! In Islam Allah has saved woman from exploitation by clearly assigning certain duties to man and at the same time allowing woman to partake productive role in the society if she pleases and circumstances permit

1. In the thirteenth year of the Messenger of Allah's (SAW) Prophethood, the year he emigrated, there came to the him (SAW) seventy-five Muslims, among whom were two women, and they all gave him the second Bai'ah of Al-Aqaba, which was a Bai'ah of war and fighting and a political Bai'ah. Once they had all given their Bai'ah, he said to them: "Bring me twelve Chiefs (Naqeebs) from among you who would be responsible for themselves and their folk." This order was addressed to everyone, to select from among everyone present. He (SAW) did not specify whether they should be men or women and he did not exclude the women, neither in regard to who was to select, nor to who should be selected. These elected individuals were to actively involve in politics, consultation and accounting.

Khilafah
It is fard on both Man and Woman alike to pray, fast, pay Zakah, perform Hajj, obey parents etc Islam obliges woman as well to participate in politics and account the ruler1 Women can take up carriers such as business, agriculture, teaching, medicine, industry etc as long as she takes care of her primary responsibility

1. Hind came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Abu Sufyan is a miserly man. He does not provide me with the maintenance that my children and I need. So the Messenger of Allah told her Take that which suffices you and your children in a fitting manner (Bil Ma'roof). The judge will force him to provide her with Nafaqah and give her the right to manage the expenditure and he will not be allowed to control the expenses in this case.

Khilafah
Islam obliges the man to fight in Jihad but excuses woman from this responsibility The actual obligation of providing food, shelter and clothing for wife and the family falls on the husband Wife has a right in the money of her husband.1 If she earns, the husband has no right on it It is fard on man to visit his female relatives not the other way around

Capitalism
The concept of equality must not allow such discrimination.
Equality obliges wife to work as well to meet the cost of living The equality of sexes obligates that woman contributes equally No such provision in a Capitalist system

The primary role of the woman as a No such provision in a Capitalist wife and a mother obligates her to system look after the children and husband

Islam made the period of the Iddah after divorce into three menstrual cycles which is approximately three months or until the time of delivery, (in the case of a pregnant woman) and imposed on the man the duty of providing maintenance to the divorcee and housing her throughout the period of the Iddah, and prohibited the man from expelling the woman that is observing her Iddah until she completes it. This is for the purpose of bringing reconciliation between them and making room for an opportunity by which they can take each other back and resume a new and peaceful life. From this point of view, a clear admonition has been given in the Qur'an. He said:"And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, either retain them on reasonable terms or set them free with kindness. But do not retain them back to hurt them. And whoever does that, then he has wronged himself [Al- Baqarah: 231] If the child is under the age of distinction and does not comprehend things and does not realise the difference between the conduct of its mother and its father in, such that he is still suckling or just finished he is not given a choice but is united with his mother. This is due to what Abu Dawood has reported on the authority of Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As that a woman said: Prophet of Allah, my womb is a vessel to this son of mine, my breasts are a water-skin for him, and my lap is a guard for him, yet his father has divorced me, and wants to take him away from me. The Prophet of Allah said: You have more right to him as long as you do not marry. If the child is at the age of distinction and is able to comprehend things and understand the difference between the conduct of his mother and the conduct of his father, as when he is over the age of weaning; in this case he will be allowed to choose between his parents. He will be given to either of the two he chooses, due to what was reported by Abu Dawood that Abdul Hamid ibn Jafar narrated from his father on the authority of his grandfather Rafi ibn Sinan that he (Rafi ibn Sinan) embraced Islam and his wife refused to embrace Islam. She came to the Prophet and said: My daughter; she finished suckling (or was about to stop suckling) Rafi said: My daughter. The Prophet said to him: Be seated on a side. And he said to her: Be seated on a side. He then seated the girl between them, and said to them: Call her. The girl inclined to her mother. The Prophet said: O Allah! guide her. The daughter then inclined to her father, and he took her. Ibn Abi Shayba (ra) reported on the authority of Umar (ra) that he divorced the mother of Asim. Later he visited her and Asim was on her lap. He wanted to take him from her. They pulled him back and forth until the boy began to cry. So they went to Abu Bakr (ra) who said: Her wiping, her lap and her smell are better for him than yours until he grows up so that he can choose for himself.

Living together is one of companionship. They have companionship according to the rights Allah has clarified for each of them so that marriage life is one of happiness and tranquility. Allah says in Quran: It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and then He has created from him has wife (Hawwa) in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her. [TMQ; 7:189] Ibn Buttah reported in Woman's Rules from Anas that a man travelled out of town and prevented his wife from leaving the house. Then her father became ill. She asked the Messengers permission to visit her sick father. The Messenger replied: Fear Allah and do not disobey your husband. Later on her father died. She asked the Messenger's permission to attend his funeral. He said: Fear Allah and do not disobey your husband. Then Allah revealed to the Prophet that I have forgiven her due to her obedience to her husband.

Khilafah
In the eyes of the creator Man is not better than woman nor the other way around Since Islam is given by the creator who is neither Male nor Female therefore He is not biased towards anybody. He is the only Deity who can give a just system for both male and female Both man and woman have certain roles to play which stipulates specific rights and duties laid down in the Shariah

The rights and duties of each role is laid down by the Almighty so that the society functions properly without chaos and conflict, each knowing his/her area of influence and responsibility
Mother (woman) dominates son (man). A wife (woman) cant leave home if her husband (man) forbids her for a certain reason Mother (woman) is more entitled to kind treatment and good companionship of the son than his father (man) The Father (man) has the authority over the daughter (woman) For younger children Mother (woman) has the right of custody over the father (man)

Khilafah

Capitalism

Man and women are not allowed to For material gains the Capitalist take up jobs which exploit their sexually exploits both male and sexuality such as air host(ess), waiter, female to its fullest and it is secretary, receptionist or barber merely to take advantage of their sexes considered perfectly legitimate to use sex as a selling tool
People are deceived to believe that they have free will under Personal Freedom in taking up exploitative jobs such as female secretaries for male bosses, working in nude bars, male/female prostitution, modelling etc; but in fact the system never provided enough dignified jobs and opportunities for people to fulfil there necessities without being sexually exploited. Capitalism's failure to satisfy womens needs and to give her the place in society she deserves, has given birth to feminist movements across the world cherished by millions of women living in the capitalist world. This phenomenon is completely alien to Islamic rule of 1300 years where women got their due rights and were satisfied and there was never a need for such a rebellion to take place.

Abu Bakr narrated on the authority of Ibn Jurayj who said that 'Aisha said: My cousin came while she was wearing her ornaments. The Prophet came in and turned away from her (when he saw her). So I said: Oh Messenger of Allah! She is only my cousin, a mere maiden. He said: Oh Aisha, when a woman reaches puberty then it is not permitted that any part of her body should be seen (by non-mahrams) except her face and what is below this. So he clenched his arm just above the joint of the hand leaving a space in-between for another fist to be clenched. With regard to the woman's dress in public life, the Legislator (SWT) has obliged her to wear a wrap (Jilbab) which conceals her (home) clothes and drapes down until it covers her feet. If she does not have such a wrap (Jilbab), she must borrow one. If she is unable to borrow one, she is not allowed to go out without such a cloth. This is in reference to the lower portion of woman's clothes. As for the upper portion, she must have a Khimar (head cover) or anything similar, which covers the entire head, the neck and the opening of the garment on the chest. Such a Khimar should be available when she goes out in public as this constitutes the upper portion of the woman's dress in public life. If the woman does not have these two pieces of clothes, she is not allowed to go out at all. This is because the command to wear these two pieces is general and it will remain so, since there is no proof to make an exception to that. Allah (SWT) says in Quran Let them draw their head-coverings (khumur) over their necks and bosoms (juyub). And let them not display (more of) their charms to any but their husbands... [An- Nur: 31] As for His (SWT) saying regarding the lower half: Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (Jalabeeb) all over their bodies [Al- Ahzab: 59] Additionally, it has been narrated from Umm Atiyya (ra.), who said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) ordered us to bring out the young women, the menstruating women and veiled women for the two Eid festivals. The menstruating women were to keep away from prayer, yet witnessing the goodness and the Dawah (address) to the Muslims. I asked, O Messenger of Allah, what about one who does not have a Jilbab?. He said: Let her use the Jilbab of her sister. It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (SWT) said: On the Day of Judgement, Allah will not look with mercy towards the one that trails his garment behind him/herself in haughty pride. Umm Salama asked: What are the women to do with the hems of their dresses? He answered: Let them increase their hems the length of a hand span. She enquired: Then their feet will be uncovered! He then replied: Let them increase a fore arms length and no more. Hence from this it is clear that the Jilbab is draped down to the floor until it conceals the feet. These evidences are clear in their indication of a woman's dress when in public.

Obscenity gives rise to a sex obsessed society where the sole objective of an individual is to fulfil his/her sexual desires As a result the focus of the society is lost which produces a gradual decline in all spheres of life hence leaving that nation behind in the race towards progress

The Prophet said: Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day (Alyawm al-akhir) let him not be alone with a woman who has not a Mahram with her. Indeed, the third (person) is al-Shaytan! Abu Dawood reported, a man asked the Prophet (saw), about whether he should seek permission from his mother (when he enter her quarters) He (saw) said: Yes. He said: There is no one to serve her but me. Should I seek permission every time I enter? He (saw) said: Do you like to see your mother naked? The man said: No. He (saw) said Then seek permission. Therefore, Islam forbade any human from entering a home other than his without the permission of the home's inhabitants.

"Marry 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 your concubines. That is more fitting so that you do not deviate from the right course" [An- Nisa: 3]. As for the meaning of His saying: "But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then marry only one" [An- Nisa: 3] This means that if you fear that you shall not be able deal with these numbers of wives justly then you should simply choose one wife and relinquish the marriage to more than one wife immediately. Indeed it should be known that the justice mentioned here is not a condition for marrying more than one wife. Rather it is a ruling for the man who wishes to marry a number of wives, that he must restrict himself to one wife if he fears he will not be able to deal with them justly. If Allah had wished to make it a condition then he would have said: "Marry women of your choice, twos or threes, or fours if you can deal with them justly", but that is not the case, so it is established that justice is not a condition, rather it is another Shara ruling different to the first rule. So firstly He permitted the plurality of marriages up to four, then He came with another ruling which is that it is better to restrict oneself to one wife when he believes that marriage to more than one wife will make him incapable of dealing with them in a just manner. It has been reported about 'Aisha (ra) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to distribute things and do justice to all and used to say, Oh My God, this is my distribution of what is in my control, but do not blame me for what is in Your control and over which I have no control. i.e. his heart. It has been narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (ra) concerning the saying of Allah (SWT): "You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline completely to one of them so as to leave the other suspended [An- Nisa: 129]. He said this is with regards to love and sexual intercourse. Allah (SWT) has ordered us to abstain from completely inclining towards one wife. This means He has permitted the inclination because the prohibition of the complete inclination indicates the permissibility of the inclination. Thus, the justice which is obligatory upon a husband is the equality between his wives in that which he has control over such as staying overnight, providing food, clothing and lodging etc. As for what falls under the meaning of inclination, which is love and desire, It is not obligatory to be just in these things because that is impossible, and they are excluded by the Qur'an.
