    Is there gender equality in Islam? (OP)


    Today, it has been proven that women are equally capable as men.

    Then how come, Islam doesn't provide with equality? For example, a man is allowed to beat his wife. A man can have many wives even though it's proven that women can equally capable of earning as much as men, in some cases even more than men. Then how come a woman isn't allowed to have many husbands if she can afford to do so?

    No amount of proof will change such a persons mind and heart, even if it was all at their feet. Allah seals the heart of whom He wishes. Those who do not want to believe, Allah does not guide. Simple as that. I really think this thread has served its purpose more than enough and more than once. Its really repetitive.

    Peace

    I already explained this. No law or system is going to be unsexist because there are fundemental differences between the two gender. Treating both genders as if they are the same is sexist, because you wouldn't take into account that there are differences between men and women e.g. men have standing up toilets, women do not. Women have pregnancy tests, men do not. Comprendes?

    For those that feel that Islam is sexist etc, this lecture is for you. It'll only take an hour of your time, if your're sincere in learning.

    But I’m the "Ignorant Kafir", any you are one of the “Good Guys”.

    I’m reasonably “Open Minded”, but I do have my exceptions.
    • We don’t live in a black and white world. In complex disagreements there are two sides and neither is entirely right and the other entirely wrong. Nor has every thing one side done been good and everything the other side has done is evil. And whether an action is good or bad is not based on who does it.
    • Also, a simple equation: Inequality = Immoral. Any deviation in legal rights that differ based on religion, gender, or race is immoral. Period.

    Yet some claim that today women have the most rights
    When you say “Rights”, are you talking legal rights or are you talking about privileges?
    What “Legal Rights” have women of the West lost?

    You have so little insite and make silly sweeping statements. Tell me a valid law that requires the mention of gender. Standing up toilets and pregency test have nothing to do with rights. No law says I can not have a pregency test.

    That's what Satan wants you to believe. He wants to twist the Straight Path which Allah has set for us.

    Re: Is there gender equality in Islam?



    If there was gender inequality in Islam we (Muslim women) should be complaining but we are not. Therefore, this gender inequality you ask about does not exist. Endless evidence and explanations are offered to you, but if you fail to understand, that is up to you. Believe what you like, but as a Muslim woman, I am content with my religion as Islam. It provides me with all the rights I need Alhamdulilaah
