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:
Muslim women should be ashamed that they are measuring success by being like feminists. This is nothing but mental slavery and psychological servitude. Even more humiliating is many pursue this by wearing a fashionized version of hijab. Were Muslim women worthless before the disease of feminism fell upon the Islamic world? In fact feminism combined with colonialism have made not only Muslim women stagnated but the entire ummah. For example, Fatima Al-Fihri established the first and oldest university in the world which still runs today. It was not feminism that made her do this but Islamic inspiration to seek knowledge. Muslim women very well can find success in Islam without feminism. The best success of her is being a successful mother and a devout wife. If the family is messed up the nations goes to hell and the woman has the most important duty to maintain a successful family under husband. So in Islam a woman can find success with in the limits ordained by Islam. Success is not ditching men as arch enemies and competing with them, as Feminism proposes and implies.
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.
Consider the polygamous family. The more people there are the greater and efficient needs the control, organization and leadership as multiple wives with children, without a strong leadership chaos will reign. This leadership Islam prescribed on man. In monogamy feminists often claim marriage is a partnership (which also does not work) but this breaks apart in polygamy, that is why you will see they hate polygamy as they just abhor male leadership.Now some feminists may say make polygamous family a democracy. So who will decide on the voters? Will adult sons and daughters be able to vote? What if husband is the main earner or the main brain behind the family so why will others have equal vote like him? In fact political democracy is also a sham which ends up empowering corrupt politicians and rich corporatists.
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. These can cause women having less salary and less promotion as well.
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. The result is we are today living in a sexualized world and not a family-oriented world. It is trendier and easier to have a fuck partner than a devout and loyal husband or wife.
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. Today’s secularized girls seek a beautiful boyfriend for sex and a rich man for marriage. No wonder divorce is the twin of marriage today.
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.
Post-modern Philosophy of Life
Modern society, social interaction and human relationship are based on and driven by individualism. Individualism is a philosophy of personal maximum gain in every situation of give or take. This personal gain is not mutually beneficial always but solely focused on one's personal material and physical gain. This has thus caused rivalry, selfishness and greed in these human domains. A parent will prioritize his or her career growth over child welfare for example so you will see children brought up by maids become detached and when these children grow up they in turn leave the parents in isolation and neglect. Such individualism is what driving our society apart and breaking intimacy and harmony in matrimony. Feminism is also an individualistic philosophy in the social level but politically it is about matriarchy. In a materially fulfilling society of a developed country one may find it difficult to notice individualism, but it still exists. Islam proposes a balanced social interaction and human relationship, a balance between individualism and social and familial collectivism. It is neither selfish like liberal individualism nor imposing like collectivism of joint family for example.

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. Were women weaker that they allowed patriarchy win and be dominant for centuries after centuries? Still today women complaining that men are dominating them. There is no doubt that this shows that nature and that is God designed nature wants patriarchy.
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
The Case of Iceland
Iceland is hailed as the champion of so-called gender equality, and feminism is processed and embedded in educational indoctrination. However, the feminism and so-called gender equality of Iceland is confusing. The same feminism Iceland uses to ban strip club, nudity and prostitution is used in other parts of the world to legalize strip club, nudity and prostitution by the feminist slogan “my body my right”. Also, they require companies must include at least 40% women. Is this equality? Should not it be 50%? What if the company fails to get the required amount based on skills and moral standpoint? Is Iceland promoting forced entry of women into positions of influence and power? The parental leave policy in Iceland is based on “equal time period leave” rather than leave based on gender biology and psychology. For example, postpartum recovery takes months but why does the man has to take this leave when his biology and psychology is not affected directly by birth? Also imagine if the mother wishes to breastfeed the child which in Islam takes two years will man also use artificial breast to become like woman and complete the leave equally?! Will the also mother cause harassment to child and the wider public by breastfeeding it in public? These considerations make feminism of Iceland ridiculous and feminism in general mentally retarded philosophy and unworkable. What Islam offers is equity based on biology and psychology.
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 the setting of matrimonial life, the wife must obey husband in all matters directly related to the family unit and that is not against Islamic law or beyond her abilities. Direct relation rules out obeying for example in-laws or other relatives, even though out of courtesy and closeness to husband many wives will be respectful and many dutiful to the relatives of husbands.
In Islam woman differs from man in the following:
Why Need Islamic Patriarchy?
The proper question to ask would be why need Islamic guidance of which patriarchy is a part? Understand, that we humans are like the building blocks of a Lego puzzle and set. When they pieced and put together correctly according to instructions the whole set will emerge smoothly but when not then incomplete built set will emerge without full realization. Divine guidance is about just that which is put humans in their correct place and in correct order. Patriarchy is a building module of that human wholeness. So, following divine guidance will create the whole man. The divine guidance is that which:
Proofs of Patriarchy in Islam
O Mankind! Be mindful of your Lord Who created you from a single soul, and from it He created its mate. (Quran 4:1)
That means the first woman Eve was created from the first man Adam so man is the cause of woman.
It is Allah’s Will to make things clear to you, guide you to the ˹noble˺ ways of those before you. (Quran 4:26)
Patriarchy was the way of the monotheistic ancestors.
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)
"The Prophet (S) of Islam stated: ' Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her, enters Paradise'." (Mahajjat Al-Bayda)
“If the woman performs the five daily prayers, fasts the month of Ramadan, maintains her chastity and obeys her husband, she will enter the Paradise of her Lord.” (Hadith)
If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. (Hadith)
The Holy Prophet also stated: "If a woman does not perform her duty as a spouse, she has not done her duty to Allah'." (Al-Mustadrak)
"The Holy Prophet (S) stated: 'A wife is duty-bound to arrange for a basin and towel to wash her husband's hands'." (Al-Mustadrak)
"Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) stated: 'Any woman who bothers her husband and distresses him is distant from the blessings of Allah and any woman who respects her husband, is obedient and does not cause him sorrow, is blessed and prosperous'." (Bihar al-Anwar)
'The Jihad of a woman is to take care of her husband well'." (Bihar al-Anwar)
Woman Under Islamic Rule
This applies to both Muslim and non-Muslim woman because Islamic patriarchy is not faith based but universal. It a social construct.
An immature girl is under the care of her guardian which is mostly father or husband. Guardianship is dropped and Islamic government takes charge of the immature girl in case of inequity.
All females have right to education on religion and religion guided sciences and math. If there is quota in any institution the males will be preferred. If there is a quota in a specific job industry then males will be preferred unless such specialized jobs are more suited for women such as women specific doctors, nurses and primary school teachers etc.
Education must branch out based on gender, after a certain age. After a certain age girl will be required to study specific subjects suited to her biology and psychology while males to their biology and psychology. Some subjects will overlap while some will be gender specific.
An adult girl must take permission of her guardian for pursuing a valid job suited for her. The guardian is husband and if not married her father. The girl can appeal rejection from her guardian and Islamic court can see if the girl really needs the job and if the job is justified for her. An adult girl can choose her husband because by mutual agreement of man and woman hierarchy in matrimony is enhanced and husband's leadership role established flexibly by acceptance of the girl.
Workplace in Islamic jurisdiction must be segregated. An adult girl can thus start her own business and hire female employees. However, an adult girl if she is married must ask her husband's permission to spend the money in her business or her father's if not married. This is not because he owns her money but because he has authority on deciding her physical movements outside house. If, however she is investing in someone else and getting a profit then she doesn't need to ask his permission. Again, she can appeal rejection and Islamic court can decide if her guardian was justified in rejecting. Remember guardianship is for welfare and protection of the girl and not exploiting her and also remember a righteous girl will also respect her guardians decision. Generally understanding always exists, an understanding brought about by love and feelings.
This is the model of patriarchy in Quran 4:34. Patriarchy by guardianship of father, husband and Islamic ruler as the highest decider is based due to essential differences between man and woman in both mind and body.
Some women will say this is too submissive and oppressive. We need to understand women are required submission to and to whom. Definitely there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the creator and neither no obedience to the creation if such obedience harms the servant. The obedience Islam demanded is all for welfare and good of the women.
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. For example Jacinda and Merkel were hailed as heroes for their corona response and feminists exploited this opportunity to further the matriarch agenda. They forgot deliberately that most people in their cabinets were men who guided these two women in making decisions and planning regarding corona. What about leader of Vietnam who was a male and tackled corona better than New Zealand and Germany? Why do these feminists forget the evil matriarch of Bangladesh called Hasina and Burma called Aung Suu something!!! Too few female leaders but they have a whole lot of blood on their hands!!! Even in Malaysia they say Najib is nothing without his conspiring wife!!! 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 of patriarchy gives us the alternative system to remedy and heal this broken social existence.

There are contexts when free mixing will lead to sin such as workplace and prolonged company of men and women as evidence by out of hand sexual harassments and adultery in west and east. There are free mixings when it is a necessity such as market place, superstore, hospitals etc. So any free mixing setting which prolongs company and closes the gap between the two sexes is to be banned by Islamic governance as part of blocking the means. Apart from free mixing there is also the concept of Khalwa where man and woman become alone with prolonged companionship. This is mostly true on digital world and this has led to webcam sex as evidenced many times in news and media outlets. No blame in khalwa to see a wife to be or husband to be as long the intention is to seek marriage. Some jurists even permit to see whole naked body of the female for purpose of marriage. This is rational as sometimes some hidden physical feature may distance both wife and husband to be.

The Muslim Woman
According to Quranic verses and Sunnah of Prophet (pbuh) we find some of the qualities of an Islamic woman as following:
- Chaste in thoughts and actions
- Sympathetic and merciful
- Intelligent and understanding
- Economic yet content
- Loyal and obedient to husband
- Loving and a guide of children
- Greatness of God and Ummah in mind
- Humanitarian, not egoistic, not racist, not nationalist, not tribalist
- Pious and sacrificing
- Wise in maintaining relationship
- Not a victim of popularism
Muslim women should be ashamed that they are measuring success by being like feminists. This is nothing but mental slavery and psychological servitude.

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:
- 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
The Case of Iceland
Iceland is hailed as the champion of so-called gender equality, and feminism is processed and embedded in educational indoctrination. However, the feminism and so-called gender equality of Iceland is confusing. The same feminism Iceland uses to ban strip club, nudity and prostitution is used in other parts of the world to legalize strip club, nudity and prostitution by the feminist slogan “my body my right”. Also, they require companies must include at least 40% women. Is this equality? Should not it be 50%? What if the company fails to get the required amount based on skills and moral standpoint? Is Iceland promoting forced entry of women into positions of influence and power? The parental leave policy in Iceland is based on “equal time period leave” rather than leave based on gender biology and psychology. For example, postpartum recovery takes months but why does the man has to take this leave when his biology and psychology is not affected directly by birth? Also imagine if the mother wishes to breastfeed the child which in Islam takes two years will man also use artificial breast to become like woman and complete the leave equally?! Will the also mother cause harassment to child and the wider public by breastfeeding it in public? These considerations make feminism of Iceland ridiculous and feminism in general mentally retarded philosophy and unworkable. What Islam offers is equity based on biology and psychology.
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 the setting of matrimonial life, the wife must obey husband in all matters directly related to the family unit and that is not against Islamic law or beyond her abilities. Direct relation rules out obeying for example in-laws or other relatives, even though out of courtesy and closeness to husband many wives will be respectful and many dutiful to the relatives of husbands.
In Islam woman differs from man in the following:
- Leadership
- Judiciary
- Witness
- Jihad (Military)
- Religious Sermon/Khutba
- Inheritance
- Legal guardianship
- Polygamy & divorce
Why Need Islamic Patriarchy?
The proper question to ask would be why need Islamic guidance of which patriarchy is a part? Understand, that we humans are like the building blocks of a Lego puzzle and set. When they pieced and put together correctly according to instructions the whole set will emerge smoothly but when not then incomplete built set will emerge without full realization. Divine guidance is about just that which is put humans in their correct place and in correct order. Patriarchy is a building module of that human wholeness. So, following divine guidance will create the whole man. The divine guidance is that which:
- Results in the most satisfying mental and emotional states in all models of personal and societal relationships.
- Protects chaos and conflicts in all models of our personal and societal relationships as designed such by Islam.
- It protects our physical, mental and various collective organizational wellbeing from harms and diseases perceived or unknown.
- Results in success in after life.
- Maintains the evolution of humanity and his existence by keeping them safe from srfl destruction.
- It stimulates our spiritual and moral conscience towards greatness of God triggering self-discovery as children of Adam which also in turn is a welfare attainment factor for our mind, body and human collective existence.
Proofs of Patriarchy in Islam
O Mankind! Be mindful of your Lord Who created you from a single soul, and from it He created its mate. (Quran 4:1)
That means the first woman Eve was created from the first man Adam so man is the cause of woman.
It is Allah’s Will to make things clear to you, guide you to the ˹noble˺ ways of those before you. (Quran 4:26)
Patriarchy was the way of the monotheistic ancestors.
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)
"The Prophet (S) of Islam stated: ' Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her, enters Paradise'." (Mahajjat Al-Bayda)
“If the woman performs the five daily prayers, fasts the month of Ramadan, maintains her chastity and obeys her husband, she will enter the Paradise of her Lord.” (Hadith)
If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. (Hadith)
The Holy Prophet also stated: "If a woman does not perform her duty as a spouse, she has not done her duty to Allah'." (Al-Mustadrak)
"The Holy Prophet (S) stated: 'A wife is duty-bound to arrange for a basin and towel to wash her husband's hands'." (Al-Mustadrak)
"Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) stated: 'Any woman who bothers her husband and distresses him is distant from the blessings of Allah and any woman who respects her husband, is obedient and does not cause him sorrow, is blessed and prosperous'." (Bihar al-Anwar)
'The Jihad of a woman is to take care of her husband well'." (Bihar al-Anwar)
Woman Under Islamic Rule
This applies to both Muslim and non-Muslim woman because Islamic patriarchy is not faith based but universal. It a social construct.
An immature girl is under the care of her guardian which is mostly father or husband. Guardianship is dropped and Islamic government takes charge of the immature girl in case of inequity.
All females have right to education on religion and religion guided sciences and math. If there is quota in any institution the males will be preferred. If there is a quota in a specific job industry then males will be preferred unless such specialized jobs are more suited for women such as women specific doctors, nurses and primary school teachers etc.
Education must branch out based on gender, after a certain age. After a certain age girl will be required to study specific subjects suited to her biology and psychology while males to their biology and psychology. Some subjects will overlap while some will be gender specific.
An adult girl must take permission of her guardian for pursuing a valid job suited for her. The guardian is husband and if not married her father. The girl can appeal rejection from her guardian and Islamic court can see if the girl really needs the job and if the job is justified for her. An adult girl can choose her husband because by mutual agreement of man and woman hierarchy in matrimony is enhanced and husband's leadership role established flexibly by acceptance of the girl.
Workplace in Islamic jurisdiction must be segregated. An adult girl can thus start her own business and hire female employees. However, an adult girl if she is married must ask her husband's permission to spend the money in her business or her father's if not married. This is not because he owns her money but because he has authority on deciding her physical movements outside house. If, however she is investing in someone else and getting a profit then she doesn't need to ask his permission. Again, she can appeal rejection and Islamic court can decide if her guardian was justified in rejecting. Remember guardianship is for welfare and protection of the girl and not exploiting her and also remember a righteous girl will also respect her guardians decision. Generally understanding always exists, an understanding brought about by love and feelings.
This is the model of patriarchy in Quran 4:34. Patriarchy by guardianship of father, husband and Islamic ruler as the highest decider is based due to essential differences between man and woman in both mind and body.
Some women will say this is too submissive and oppressive. We need to understand women are required submission to and to whom. Definitely there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the creator and neither no obedience to the creation if such obedience harms the servant. The obedience Islam demanded is all for welfare and good of the women.
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. For example Jacinda and Merkel were hailed as heroes for their corona response and feminists exploited this opportunity to further the matriarch agenda. They forgot deliberately that most people in their cabinets were men who guided these two women in making decisions and planning regarding corona. What about leader of Vietnam who was a male and tackled corona better than New Zealand and Germany? Why do these feminists forget the evil matriarch of Bangladesh called Hasina and Burma called Aung Suu something!!! Too few female leaders but they have a whole lot of blood on their hands!!! Even in Malaysia they say Najib is nothing without his conspiring wife!!! 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 of patriarchy gives us the alternative system to remedy and heal this broken social existence.

[1] Free mixing should be controlled. There are contexts when free mixing will lead to sin such as workplace and prolonged company of men and women as evidence by out of hand sexual harassments and adultery in west and east. There are free mixings when it is a necessity such as market place, superstore, hospitals etc. So any free mixing setting which prolongs company and closes the gap between the two sexes is to be banned by Islamic governance as part of blocking the means. Apart from free mixing there is also the concept of Khalwa where man and woman become alone with prolonged companionship. This is mostly true on digital world and this has led to webcam sex as evidenced many times in news and media outlets. No blame in khalwa to see a wife to be or husband to be as long the intention is to seek marriage. Some jurists even permit to see whole naked body of the female for purpose of marriage. This is rational as sometimes some hidden physical feature may distance both wife and husband to be.
