Feminist in the Muslim

Anyone who tries to understand the position of women in the Muslim world must be feeling confused. We find stories in the media about the injustice committed against Muslim women all the time, such as murder to "honor", early marriage and legal decisions that discriminate in matters of divorce, child custody and inheritance.
But we also get the stories of extraordinary measures undertaken by Muslim women in education, career advancement and political activities in various countries such as Bangladesh, Morocco and Turkey.
How can we make sense of such a dichotomous picture of this?
The answer is simple: With distinguish Islam from people who follow it.
Those who learn the Qur'an know that Islam raised women's rights beyond the traditional pre-Islamic world at that time. In fact, in the seventh century Muslim women have been given the rights that are not given to the women of Europe until the 19th century, such as property ownership, inheritance and divorce.

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,
