Islam Honours and protects the women .The Bible culture is Harsh on women
The Wife's Submission To Her Husband According To The New Testament
The Bible teaches that a husband should have authority over his wife...
Colossians 3:18
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
1 Peter 3:1
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
However, what kind of submission are we talking about here?...
1 Peter 3:5-6
5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
So aren't the women of today also supposed to follow this example and call their husbands their master?
It is good that the New Testament teaches that a wife should obey her husband but you can kind of get the impression that it takes it a little bit too far...
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
The wife should submit to their husbands in EVERYTHING? Isn't that a little bit too extreme? Paul is saying that the wife should submit to the husband as the Church does to Christ. Now since Christians believe that Christ is God does that mean that the wife should obey her husband as if she is obeying God and give him the same rights?
You can see a similar problem here.
In Islam there are limits when it comes to obedience to people...
Surah 4:135
O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well- acquainted with all that ye do.
So if a husband orders his wife to do something wrong she must not listen to him and obey him in EVERYTHING just like the New Testament says
