"Wherever possible and so far as possible the male is separate from the female, since it is something better and more divine.Some offspring take after their parents.Males take after their father more then their mother....
..Others do not take after a human being at all in their appearance, but have gone so far that they resemble a monstrosity.The first beginning of this deviation is when a female is formed instead of a male, females are weaker and colder in their nature; and we should look upon the female state as being as it were a deformity...."
What the QUR'AN says about women:
- "He it is Who has created you from a single soul and made there from its mate, so that the male might incline towards the female and find comfort in Her." (Qur'an, 7:189)
- What Prophet Muhammad(saw) said about women on the other hand: “Women are the twin halves of men. None but a noble man treats women in an honorable manner, and none but an ignorant treats women disgracefully.”
- He(saw) also said, "O people, your wives have a certain right over you and you have certain rights over them. Treat them well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers."
- “A man asked: O Prophet of Allah, who deserves to be treated well by me most of all? The Prophet said: Your mother. He asked: Who then? The Prophet said: Your mother. He asked: Who then? The Prophet said: Your mother. He asked: Who then? The Prophet said: Then your father.”[Bukhari]
So which system from its origins is more rightly positioned in its view of women to secure their rights and govern their affairs?
Note: (saw) means salAllahu alayhi wasallam, which is translated to Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him
