Women in Islam

Women in Islam.

-Woman is an object of concealment.

Thus, when she emerges (from her abode of concealment) shaitaan surreptitiously

pursues her (and lies in wait to create his fitnah of immorality).

-(Tirmizi)

-Allah curses the one who looks (at females) and the one to whom the gaze was directed

(i.e. the woman who emerged unnecessarily from her home and thus caused men to glance at her)

-(Baihaqi)

-No widow should be married without her consent,

and her consent is in her silence.

-Do not give an unmarried girl away until

she has consented.

-Act kindly towards women,

for they were created from Adam's rib and

the most crooked part of a rib is it's top.

If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it,

and if you leave it, it will remain crooked,

so act kindly towards women.

-A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and asked:

"O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right

on me with regards to kindness and attention?" He replied,

"Your mother."

"Then who?" He replied,

"Your mother."

"Then who?"He replied,

"Your mother."

"Then who?" He replied,

"Your father."

-One who makes efforts (to help) the widow or a poor person is

like a mujahid (warrior) in the path of Allah, or like one who

stands up for prayers in the night and fasts in the day.

-Fear Allah in respect of women.

-Women have no share in emerging (from their homes) except in cases of need.

-(Tibrani)

-Women should not converse with men other than a mahram.

-A man who casts a gaze at a woman, looks at her garments and discerns her bodily shape,

will not smell the fragrance of Jannat". -(Shaami)
