The Accusing Islam of breaking woman's rights and the rejection of such accusation

Abstract

Thanks to Almighty God and peace be upon our leader Mohammed and all his family members and companions. God has created human beings in the image of males and females and arranged to them rules that are suitable to their nature. Almighty God said, “A male is not like a female” The equality between women and men in all respects of life can not be achieved because there are some creation, fate and religious differences between them. A human being is assigned a role which is suitable with his/her capacity and thus would be gromted rights depending on what he/she deserves. The elimination of equality between man and woman does not necessarily mean preference of one to another. In our present day, some concepts are misinterpreted, therefore, it has become necessary to point out the real intentions of such concepts through the explanation of jurisprudents who emphasized that when there are cases of extra rights to men. The research consists of five parts: The introduction refers to the significance of the topic and the reason for choosing it. Part one deals with witness by women and details are given about it in addition to issue of punishment, marriage and divorce. Part two is concerned with women’s divorce of men. If divorce is originally in the hand of man, it is possible that the wife puts a condition that divorce should be in her hand if she fears that her rights are usurped after marriage. In part three, I pointed the compensation to women in case of harm,- injures and the justification of having less compensation than men in certain cases. Part four is concerned with women heritage and it refers to cases where their shares are increased as compared to men. In part five, we pointed out to case where women are given the power of rulers and judges . And because this part deals with rights in particular and because the assignement of such roles involves some difficulty and trouble, some jurisprudents insisted on the limitation of women’s authorities in this regard. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the results reached in this research, and thanks to Allah, God of all mankind.
