In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Woman

Their Lord responded to them:
'I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do,
be you male or female - you are equal to one another.
Thus, those who immigrate, and get evicted from their homes, and are persecuted because of Me, and fight and get killed,
I  will surely remit their sins and admit them into gardens with flowing streams.' Such is the reward from God.
God possesses the ultimate reward.
[Quran  3:195]

Most traditional muslims speak with pride in pointing out that women received certain rights at the time the Quran was revealed 1400 years ago.

Just over a hundred years ago, in England, in 1850, women were finally allowed the right to own property. In 1857, divorce became accessible by the formation of the court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. The Quran granted these rights to women fourteen hundred years ago.

However, in practical terms, in today's Islamic world, the majority of women are treated by men as second class citizens. Such a status for women is not attributable to the laws of God in the Quran but to religious laws dictated by humans in complete opposition to the Quran. This is, in spite of the fact, that the Quran came to us through Prophet Mohammad's mouth and that God informs us in the Quran, that it is complete, perfect, fully detailed and the only source of religious law for the submitters (muslims). The following shows the great disparity between what the Quran and the religion of Submission advocate, compared to accepted practices which give women the low status in muslim countries.

Fact & Fiction

A look at the status of woman in the Muslim world reflects a stark fact. Women at best are second class citizen and at worst are victims of various crimes committed in the name of Islam. Religious scholars and leaders have dictated falsehood and religious laws which have nothing to do with God, the Quran, prophet Muhammad or the religion of Submission.

• Marrying for the sake of the orphan is the only condition (4:3) under which polygamy can be considered together with equal treatment of wives. The Quran strongly discourages polygamy stating that equal treatment of wives is impossible (4:129).
• The dress code in the Quran for women is to lengthen the garments and to cover the chest. There is no mention in the Quran, that the head should be covered for men or women.
• The Quran gives an example and acceptance of a woman in a ruling position in a nation. The Queen of Sheba, represented a democratic ruler who consulted with her people before making important decisions (27:29), who also happened to be a Muslim (Submitter).

The submitting men, the submitting women,

and the men who commemorate GOD frequently,
