Women in islam Chapter 4 Surat-I-nisaa
In the Midst of the dark ness that engulfed the world, the divine revelation
enchoed in the wide desert of Arabia with A fresh, noble and universal message
to humanity:
"O mankind, keep your duty Lord who created you from a singke soul and from it
created its mate (of same kind) and from them twai has spread a multitude of
men and women..."
( surat-ul- nisaa(the women) verse no.1/ chapter -3:--
Sahih International: And give to the orphans their properties and do not
substitute the defective [ of your own] for good [of theirs] .And do not
consume their properties into your own.Indeed, that is ever a great sin.
(Surat-ul-nisaa(the women) verse no.2 chapter /4:--
Sahih International- And If you fear that you will not deal justly with the
orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or
four. but if you fear that you will not be just, then marry [ marry only] one or
those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline[
to injustice]
surat-ul- nisaa(the women) verse no.3/ chapter -4:--
Sahih International: and give the women [ upon marriage] their [ bridal] gifts
graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in
satisfaction and ease.
Yousuf Ali: and give the women ( on marriage) their dower as free gift; but if
they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and
enjoy it with right good cheer.
surat-ul- nisaa(the women) verse no.4/ chapter -4:--
Sahih International: And do not give the weak- minded your property, which Allah
has made a means of sustenance for you, but provide for them with it and clothe
them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.
A scholars who pondered about this verse states:
" It is believed that there is no text, old or new, that deals with the humanity
of the women from all aspects with such amazing brevity, eloquence, depth, and
originality as this divine decree.."
Stressing this Holy , noble and natural conception, them Quran states:
" He ( GOD) it is who did create you from a single soul and therefrom did
create his mate, that he might dwell with her( in love)...."-- Noble Quran 7:189
"The Creator of heavens and Earth: He has made for you pairs from among
yourselves"-- Noble Quran 42:11
"And Allah has given you mates of your own nature, and has given you from your
mates, children à nd grandchildren, and has made provision of good things fot
you. It it then in vanity that they believe and in the grace of God that they
disbelieve!"-- Noble Quran 16:72
Thus , Quran provides clear cut evidence that women is completly equated with
man in the sight of God in terms of her Rights and Responsibilities....
