Women in Islam

Amira Burghul

Despite major consensus amongst a large number of philosophers and historians that the

principles and teachings of Islam caused a fundamental change in the position of women

compared to the prevailing situation in countries in both East and West at the time, and despite

the agreement of a large number of thinkers and legislators that women during the time of the

Prophet (savs) were granted rights and legal privileges not granted by man-made laws until

recently, propaganda campaigns by Westerners and people with a Westernised perspective

consistently accuse Islam of being unjust to women, of imposing restrictions on them, dhe

marginalising their role in society.

This situation has been made worse by the atmosphere and conditions prevalent across the

bota myslimane, ku injoranca dhe varfëria kanë prodhuar një kuptim të kufizuar të fesë

dhe marrëdhëniet familjare dhe njerëzore që pengojnë drejtësinë dhe mënyrën e qytetëruar të jetesës, veçanërisht

mes burrave dhe grave. Grupi i vogël i njerëzve të cilëve u janë dhënë mundësitë për të

fitojnë një arsimim dhe aftësi kanë rënë edhe në grackën e të besuarit se arritja e drejtësisë

për gratë dhe kapitalizimi i aftësive të tyre varet nga refuzimi i fesë dhe devotshmërisë dhe

duke adoptuar një mënyrë jetese perëndimore, si rezultat i studimeve të tyre sipërfaqësore të Islamit nga njëra anë

dhe efekti i devijimeve të jetës tek tjetri.

Vetëm një numër shumë i vogël i njerëzve nga këto dy grupe kanë arritur të arratisen dhe të largohen

petkat e tyre të injorancës dhe traditës. These people have studied their heritage in great depth

and detail, and have looked at the results of Western experiences with an open mind. They have

distinguished between the wheat and the chaff in both the past and the present, and have dealt

scientifically and objectively with the problems which have arisen. They have refuted the false

charges made against Islam with eloquent arguments, and have admitted to concealed flaws.

They have also re-examined the sayings and customs of the Infallible Ones in order to

distinguish between what is established and holy and what has been altered and distorted.

The responsible behaviour of this group has established new directions and new ways of dealing

with the question of women in Islamic societies. They have clearly not yet tackled all problems

and found final solutions for the many legislative gaps and deficiencies, but they have laid the

ground for the emergence of a new model for Muslim women, who are both strong and

committed to the legal and effective foundations of their society.

With the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the blessing of its leaders, which is the

main religious authority for the participation of women and their effective political and social

participation, the scope for strong debate over women in Islam has been significantly expanded.

The model of Muslim women in Iran has spread to Islamic resistance movements in Lebanon,

Palestine other Arab countries and even the Western world, and as a result, propaganda

campaigns against Islam have abated to some extent.

The emergence of Salafi Islamic movements such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and similar

Salafi movements in Saudi Arabia and North Africa, and their fanatical way of treating women,

have provoked nervous onlookers fearing an Islamic resurgence into launching new propaganda

campaigns accusing Islam of inspiring terrorism and being backwards and unjust towards

women.
