●Men and women have similar obligations and responsibilities to reform and correct the society to the best of their capability
●Islam entitles women to the same rights as men in terms of education and cultivation

Quotes:
"It is natural for a man to need and find fulfillment with a woman and for a woman with a man, since they are created one from the other and for one another. They both are inseparably bound to each other. Neither can they find fulfillment except when in the company of the other as legal and honorable mate and spouse, as Allah (The Almighty) says in His Majestic Book, the Qur'an, mentioned in the two verses cited in the preface:

(O Mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you in the Sight of Allah is the believer who has Taqwa (piety and righteousness). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.)"

  1. hmmm again the doctrine seems convincing... there should be no inequality right, but we hear about Muslim women being treated unjustly all the time... why do you think thats the case?

  2. I don't know why it's the case, because it just doesn't make sense. Muslim people always say they obey Allah well and are good religious people, but so many men treat their woman like crap. I read this: "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means." From what I've seen and heard, the Muslim men don't really protect their women, they keep them for themselves and don't let them have another life besides the life of taking care of the family and their house.
