Women and men 'NEED EACH OTHER'

by Syed Abu Hassan Ali Nadawi



 يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا 4:1   
         
O men! Fear your Lord Who created you from a single being and out of it created its mate; and out of the two spread many men and women. *1 Fear Allah in Whose name you plead for rights, and heed the ties of kinship. Surely, Allah is ever watchful over you.  (Surah An-Nissa ': 1)
 
         This verse clearly explains the Islamic view about status of the women, the rights and obligation of men and women. First, God explains that free men and women made the same way and they have a similar physical form, as if they derived from a single body. Abnormalities in the body built their bodies cause they go through life with the opportunity.
         Both men and women were created from one soul and the soul divide to two portion, however, does not form make hostility against each other. In this life, men are given a life of its own kind friend in so she is part of his body. After that mankind evolved breed from them. God bless the union, affection and their household lives by adding their numbers, with this they are at home just two people has now doubled double into the millions of people so that no one who cantell how crowded the number of people who were born in this world. Only God's sake only knows. God imagine hectic numbers them by using the word "breed".
        Then God revealed: Fear God in his name ye request to others. No one should stand on its own, all people depend to others. Each person at the same time is a giver and a requester. This partition is not on the one hand consists of-requesters and requesters on the one hand again is giver-giver. The requesters also are givers and vice versa. Every person bound by a series of rights and obligation, the composition of (network) life everyone needs each other between each other.
        According to Arab custom, if they ask for something or asked him to other people they say the name of God. Like: "As aluka billah" it's mean: I ask questions or ask you by Allah.
        No woman, no man who can meet the life traveling in a wide and easy, and so also, no pious woman who can run a happy and peaceful life without any onefriends live. God the Creator of nature makes them need each other, which no one will again become the life of a perfect.
        Once again, stressed that free in the Name of God, we ask our right to own another. Islamic Ummah (Islamic Community) is done for belief in one God, Power, Greatness. Communications between a Muslim and Muslim become valid if mentioned the name of God among them. By the name of Allah then a stranger, a distant relative and close mara become brothers.
        Bond between the men and women are bonding Faith and affection; deep bond, meetings and so original. This, is a bond that unique. All of this is the miracle that is born from the name of Allah. One new world is born when supplied with the name of God. Muslim and Muslim women should not mix freely among one another and there sometimes they can not walk together. 'They are not Muhrim' (They must not enter the chamber Muslim and vice versa). But one bond Holy Name of God's sake only be as good as the call between them.
        Al-Quran with a style that can not be imitated has explained reality principle of human society, among interdependent members, each hook and require, in some verses that easy. Using the name you ask each other between each other.
       This verse is so urgent that we devoted to God by using what justifies our name we may and sparked a revolution in our lives. Al-Quran has using an expression that has no yardstick to explain the appeal tight nexus between husband and wife. The verse mentioned:They are as a garment to you and you are as a garment to them. (S. Al - Baqarah 2:187) The Qur'an is only capable of using simple words garment or clothing in this context. Clothing used to cover badness and living jewelry. He concluded to us everything that understanding nexus of love, trust and trustworthy behavior between husband and wife. If a man without clothes look like animal and not a man, then so will no marriage, humans are not happy.
       Inside Islam marriage not considered as a single purpose but classified as a human being to worship to the God or in other words, the concept in Islam marriage not to meet the demands of biology or social life enjoyment of life be without it is not perfect, but he has Aqidah interests and have a position as a Worship.        Prophet Muhammad shows an example of the best in his life. Word of Majesty "The best among you are those who do good to his family, and I am the worst kind to my family. "If you learn sirah Rasulullah SAW you will amazed against honor that Islam gave to women. Business Messenger for encouraging the wives of King, their activity recreation and justice towards them is very precious.
       Messenger is very good heart and love to a child, so that King will shorten solah (Namaz) in the most liked, if he hear the sound of children crying, this is the summit and generosity sacrifice. No one else is more valuable to the Prophet apart from Solah. Even so the Messenger of Allah said, "Sometimes I like toelongate solah but when I heard the sound of a child crying, I shorten it by thinking that this would be troublesome hearts of the mothers (who participated together in solah Juma'ah). "
       These examples are before us. God asks us to keep our good name. We are not allowed to have other interests. This command is addressed to men and women. The brothers now live in American society. We are not necessarily simple to introduce the doctrine, Islamic teachings to American society, but also we must show model (example) family system of Islam to them. West civilization now this is going to fall. There is no doubt anymore. One of the main causes is the disintegration of the family.
       Feelings of affection and trust that the nature of trust as family base life now is taken over by the nature of interest self and lust. Modern philosophy experts feel uncertain and studies to maintain the family unit has been conducted. Should form feelings of sympathy and affection from both sides, this because sake only can give true happiness. Although prevailing poverty and hunger but can be overcome by the serenity because there were a willingness and a sense of compassion and partnership feelings between each other. Up to this day there are many families in the East that is not enough to eat but they lived happily because there is a feeling of affection. In the West, there are all these riches scientific discovery, and scientific achievement - but be careful it does not tasted peace and contentment. They were unable to make house their households as heaven. As Iqbal said:
       He was looking for the star's orbit, but can not dive into the world thinking.
       Modern humans are equipped with power but the view superficial. People who encounter the power of the sun (solar radiation) can not illuminate his own path, and people looking for orbit of the stars - and if Iqbal destined still alive today he might say, people who go to the moon not to wander the world own thoughts and makes the household a happy place. People who swap world into heaven ends by making the household a hell. Many of the families who are not blessed with the West peace and happiness. That is why they seek it clubs and other outside activity.
       Realize brothers more heart-wrenching aspect of this in American society because of brother has lived here for ten or twenty years. Not necessary for me to lengthen this case. Al-Quran verses that I read to explain the truth Islamic principle of living system in which human society is established on the basis interdependent and respect-respect for rights between one another. Each people have passion. But to realize as one nature of humans and to thank the person who indicate the nature of it is an attitude that is in someone Islam. Islam always trying to develop and strengthen the view is like this. Islam requires every person considers themselves dependent on others and respect all experts in society. With this no adjustment problems.
       May God bestow Taufiq and Guidance to relatives, brother in His way that is straight and the brothers were given the ability to give birth to the Islamic society life style that will attract Western societies are tenat with this life and promote they so thoughtfully and carefully examine the regulations rules of community life in Islam.
