Woman in Islam vs Woman in Feminism
Contents
The Muslim Woman
According to Quranic verses and Sunnah of Prophet (pbuh) we find some of the qualities of an Islamic woman as following:
Notion of Equality
The notion of equality is impractical and unworkable. In practice it transforms into favoring one side over other. In the socio-economic and political context equality means having same rights, opportunities and duties. However, this notion of equality can create conflict, deadlock and chaos in models of organizations. An example of an organization is the family established through marriage. If husband and wife both having equality, then in case of deadlock or conflict it is either breaking of the family apart or the law favoring one over the other- secular laws are feminists and prefer almost always the woman- and in either case, the notion of equality has been defeated. Islam has thus made the family a hierarchy where husband is the head of this organization by virtue of his finance, biology and psychology. Another example is a business firm whereby its very rules and praxis demand that there should always be a head or a group acting as the head over the rest. Do you think a woman who is under a man in such a setting is equal by virtue of her being the employee employed by her male boss? So, the notion of equality is defeated when we consider socio-economic and political positions. Perhaps in a hypothetical world where there were no positions and concept of authority, we would have an equality. Modern feminism is about matriarchy in the guise of equality. Feminists are trying to push women into the highest positions of power and authority. Islam proposes equitable rights, duties and opportunities.
Apart from equality of rights and duties we have to also consider whether man and woman are equal in biology and psychology. We will see they are not. Islam considers the gender issue from three perspectives: biology, psychology and rights and duties. Due to different biology and psychology of man and woman their rights and duties are also different in Islam.
Even in practice we cannot obey the concept of equality. Women for example have a longer leave in employment due to pregnancy than men because of their biology. Women can be impeded in their productivity as well due to menstruation and its related health effects which are diverse and many.
Virginity
Virginity is a dignity, newness and purity of an individual. However modern secular society thinks virginity is stupidity and lack of your maturity, but then again modern secular society thinks alcohol, tobacco, prostitution and mistresses are good! Modern secular society is bankrupt of morality, wisdom and reason.
A Muslim woman’s innocent character, simplicity, virginity and chastity are the results of her religious values which are: shame, self-respect with Islamic character (as mentioned above) and Islamic hijab, conservative in her public communication as not to be a cause of sexual distraction for others and for herself from other men.
God wishes us to purify our romantic and sexual thoughts and desires, for a loyal and lasting bond through matrimony, through safe-guarding us from free-sex communication unless necessary for marriage planning and decision. Each of the Muslimah is a fertile and blooming garden future of the Ummah, a peace to her family and children. In the name of liberalism such precious and cherished creatures of God cannot be polluted, and the hope of the Islamic successful family cannot be destroyed, and as a consequence Muslim demography having destructive divorces, familial chaos, detachment from children, distanced husband and wife and a society unwilling to marry be realized. Same things cannot fit together.
Islam prescribed chastity of both your sexual organ and feelings so that bonds can last, deepen and empowered through matrimony. All that free sex and flirting are deceiving you from realizing the greatest gift of God called love. Love and chastity go hand in hand. A woman who is ready to lie with any man for sexual pleasure cannot be trusted of having loyalty and devotion.
Such is the nature and value of a Muslimah that prophet emphasized and commanded them to marry righteous and pious husbands.
Matrimony
In a happy and devoted matrimony, the standard of relationship is not by material gratification or material fulfilment but by exchange of continuous intense empathy and feelings. The question is never asked by any as to how much my husband or wife doing, rather they just do it. Unlike in feminism it's all about questions such as, did my husband do his part or how much is he doing, that I should for him. This dead tasteless relationship better not exist! Recipe for fast divorce. The feminists don't understand that the meaning of matrimony is devotion, feelings and spiritual ecstasy as Quran stated. Even though you can hire maid to clean your house, or nanny to look after children or prostitute to fulfill sexual desires having wife achieves them in a totally different meaning of human existence, a relational existence of feelings and not of commodity.
Feminism is Destructive
Throughout history patriarchy was effective. It cannot be that all those past people were wrong in their social construct. Rather they knew the nature of human existence and how it ought to be. Even though men have exploited this essential difference but that does not reject the inherent natural patriarchy construct. Since third wave feminism is all about matriarchy and reconstruction of a new social order. In this agenda male species is portrayed as weak, indecisive and predatory while women as the victim, full of potential deserving preferential treatment. In this agenda male species need to behave while women have full freedom to exercise her choices and desires without consequences. In this agenda female sex is divinely lustful, the opium to control men. We are looking at a broken system of family, society and outright anarchy. High rates of divorce, cheating family, children detached from parents and an unfair job industry and legal system....
The feminist mind is the very definition of pride. It sees only control and ego. It does not understand care or wings of mercy as it does not believe in humility in a relationship. It sees man as the arch enemy. It wants absolute self-control from man without self-control of herself. Feminism is sexual/gender Nazism. Feminism is the reaction of white woman to white man's treatment. These feminists will find it humiliating and insulted to serve their husbands or wash their cloths or present themselves with beauty in room to please their husbands. They will feel these as slavery and subjugation but not relation building and empowerment of bond. In their hearts romance and sympathy are weaknesses. We cannot build a loving society with this ideology.
Feminism is also greedy and self-centered. A global ideological movement to change social order for women and towards women. However more than women, today in the world children are suffering, countless males whether children or adults enslaved as slaves in China, India, Pakistan and other south east Asian countries. Why not make a new ideology for them and start the slogan “slaves for leadership”!? You see focusing on one specific oppressed group and gender will not be fair, but address injustice wherever it occurs. You do not need matriarchy to be fair and equitable towards women.
Feminism is also anti-family, egoistic. Feminist women prioritize pursuing career over family because a family will slow them down by childbirth and duties towards children as a mother, while a career is the ticket to be a matriarch somewhere. By this practice feminists hate their biology and innate nature of motherhood.
Woman Species: Biological and Emotional Weakness
Most of human existence have seen patriarchy dominance. Since the third wave feminism matriarchy is the agenda. Pursuit of irrational equality does not make man and woman equal. Yes, woman can be better in some things than man but in general they are weaker than men most of the times. For example, men are weaker in controlling sexual desire unlike women hence women are required to cover themselves in Islam. Women are suited to more gentle roles where the use of mind and body is less intense, less demanding and more static. While men are suited to leadership and decision making where pressure and stress are high. Men are also suited for physically intensive roles such as military or hard labor. Even according to evolutionists, it would be nothing short of a Darwinian miracle for men and women to have evolved precisely identical emotional designs.
Under the same environmental variables, context and circumstance men will most of the times excel women in mental and physical capacity. For example, US military having same variables and context for its recruits has women in approximately 14 percent of the active duty Army, 23 percent of the Army Reserve, and 16 percent of the Army National Guard. Examples like this extend to many other domains of men and women inclusion, even though women are getting the favors and benefits. Can we try mix gender NFL, football and rugby teams and see how it goes?
Emotional Weakness
Following are some of the statistically proven results that women are emotionally weaker and more vulnerable:
Biological Weakness
Biologically women are prone to more diseases than men and such diseases express more severe in women than men. Being only pregnant exposes them to lots of health risks and drug effects. Women are physically impaired also by menstruation and pregnancy. Both of which affects their emotion and becomes a burden to deal with, impairing judgement, response and interaction. Following are some of the statistically proven results that women are biologically different and weaker:
Due to this fragility of constitution women are in so much pain during childbirth.
Why is it that sex industry whether prostitution or porn is dominated and marketed through women? This reveals interesting facts about human psychology and mentality which are
Man, in Islam vs Woman in Islam
Given the statistical differences between man and woman in psychology and biology there ought to be differences in their existential values. I do not mean honor or dignity but duties, responsibilities and rights. Such known statistics are corroborated by Quran when it stated:
Men are in charge/protectors of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women) (Quran 4:34)
Women’s essential differences from men are God given and nothing to be ashamed of. God has blessed man over woman both essentially and by law as we will see. In Islam there are division of responsibilities and duties in relation to rights. Equality does not necessarily mean fairness or justice. Man, woman equality is a slogan to serve a certain agenda. Why would Allah give men authority over women if women are the ones with the mind and body as we already seen in our discussion? Due to such differences man has been given authority and guardianship over women. Guardianship is an important factor in Islam. It is also defined. It doesn't mean women are slaves or have no rights. It only means they are cared for and protected by men.
Due to such differences a lonely girl presents with crimes of opportunity. Especially when girls open themselves to people, people tend to think acceptance from girl. A male guardian prevents this psychological atmosphere and crimes of opportunity. A guardian by definition supposed to protect. If a dad or brother harms a female that's an exception and abnormality showing some severe problem with that said family. Hence abnormality cannot be a standard or proof. Its statistically insignificant. The more established norm is a male guardian has always protected his woman. Yes, women can be incapable of protecting themselves. They are emotionally and physically weaker as we seen and thus different in thought than male. I am not talking about artificially pumped up women strength and psychology like they do in special forces or experiments.
In Islam woman differs from man in the following:
Conclusion
Sentiment, politics, bias and social engineering is defining the female journey towards matriarchy with devastating social, economic and moral consequences. Families are being torn apart, legal system is being redefined with bias against men, men are being less motivated to start a family, education or occupation because of bias towards women as men are seen less valuable, unstable, reckless and more predatory. The truth of the matter is women cannot escape their God given inherent constitution and composition both psychological and emotional. No matter how much we deny this or are reluctant to notice this it will exist, and pursuit of matriarchy will continue to restructure our social existence with adverse effects. The Islamic social construct gives us the alternative system to remedy and heal this broken social existence.

Emotional Weakness
Following are some of the statistically proven results that women are emotionally weaker and more vulnerable:
- Experience more guilt (Else-Quest et al., 2012)
- Experience more shame (Else-Quest et al., 2012)
- Experience more sadness (Else-Quest et al., 2012)
- Experience more social anxiety (Caballo et al., 2014)
- Seeks more emotional support (Tamres et al., 2002)
- More fearful (Kring and Gordon 1998)
- More sympathetic (Babchuck et al., 1985; Hampson et al., 2006; McClure, 2000)
- Emotionally more negative (Bradley et al., 2001; Chentsova-Dutton & Tsai, 2007; Grossman & Wood, 1993)
- Higher on neuroticism: Experience more anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness. (Feingold, 1994; Schmitt et al., 2008)
Biological Weakness
Biologically women are prone to more diseases than men and such diseases express more severe in women than men. Being only pregnant exposes them to lots of health risks and drug effects. Women are physically impaired also by menstruation and pregnancy. Both of which affects their emotion and becomes a burden to deal with, impairing judgement, response and interaction. Following are some of the statistically proven results that women are biologically different and weaker:
- Brain activation differs in response to negative emotions. (Stevens & Hamann, 2012)
- Data suggest that the greater strength of the men due primarily to larger fibers. (Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol. 1993;66(3):254-62)
- Females grow to a certain extent and then switch to reproductive mode, investing in fat production rather than making muscle and bone (BBC)
- Health effects of alcohol abuse and alcoholism (when someone shows signs of addiction to alcohol) are more serious in women. (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, 2019)
- Women are more likely to die following a heart attack than men are (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, 2019)
- Women are more likely to show signs of depression and anxiety than men are. (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, 2019)
- The effect of STDs/STIs on women can be more serious than on men. (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, 2019)
- Women are more likely than men are to experience urinary tract problems (http://www.nichd.nih.gov/, 2019)
Due to this fragility of constitution women are in so much pain during childbirth.
Why is it that sex industry whether prostitution or porn is dominated and marketed through women? This reveals interesting facts about human psychology and mentality which are
- Females are weak and seeks the easy way
- Male is physically attracted to feminine physique in a way which is in contrast to the way female is attracted to male.
- It also points to the nature of shame of females (as stated above in emotions) as the market for male porn industry is weak indicating female conservatism
Man, in Islam vs Woman in Islam
Given the statistical differences between man and woman in psychology and biology there ought to be differences in their existential values. I do not mean honor or dignity but duties, responsibilities and rights. Such known statistics are corroborated by Quran when it stated:

- Leadership
- Judiciary
- Witness
- Jihad (Military)
- Religious Sermon/Khutba
- Inheritance
- Legal guardianship
- Polygamy & divorce
