ADAM PBUH WAS CREATED, AND FROM
HIM HIS PARTNER, COMPANION,
FRIEND, AND HELPER, HAWWA PBUH.
AND FROM THE PAIR, ALLAH MOST
HIGH CONTINUED THE FORMATION OF
THE HUMAN RACE.
[4:1] “O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind)
and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your
rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.”
Man and woman are not the same. In
fact, they are vastly different, more than is
appreciated commonly. And
interestingly, they both have their own
purposes, in accordance with the way
Allah has made them.
This article will be focusing on the aspect
of woman and her importance in Islam.
As women are different from men, they
are not equal. However, they are both
equally important.
And it is unfortunate that the world that
we must live in is one in which few have
grasped the concept of treating and
respecting women the way they are
meant to be treated and respected.
Of course, this has become a universally
accepted phenomenon, and although
many may differ with the word
‘phenomenon’ as used here, it is
unfortunately true. It has not only been
understood, but also accepted, that
women are not treated as they should
be. However, as AnsarAllah, who are
striving to keep on the path of Allah s.w.t
and reach Him through each the Path
He Has Ordered us to Walk upon, it is
essential that we understand and review
these concepts, simply because it has
become scarily easy to overlook and
even deride them.
So women are different from men, and
they are looked at from different points
