Interesting Quotes about women from the Qur'an
by Matt Slick (/matt-slick)
It can be said that a religion is judged by what it says about
its women. The Qur'an says much of them. All quotes from the
Qur'an are from Yusuf Ali and can be found at the Qur'an online
(http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/) .
1. Men have more rights regarding divorce than do women
A. Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three
monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for
them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they
have faith in Allah and the Last
Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back
in that period, if they wish forreconciliation. And women shall
have rights similar to the rights against them, according to
what
is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them.
And Allah is Exalted in Power,
Wise," (2:228)
2. Muslim men may marry up to four women, but no such provision
is made for Muslim women.
A. "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the
orphans, Marry women of your choice,
Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able
to deal justly (with them), then only
one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be
more suitable, to prevent you from
doing injustice," (4:3).
3. A man's inheritance should be a portion of two females
A. Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's
(Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to
that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share
is two-thirds of the inheritance;
if only one, her share is a half," (4:11).
4. It is okay to beat wives
A. "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because
Allah has given the one more
(strength) than the other, and because they support them from
their means. Therefore the
righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the
husband's) absence what Allah would
have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear
disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish
them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last)
beat them (lightly); but if they returnto obedience, seek not
against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great
(above
you all)," (4:34).
5. In Paradise, voluptuous women await men for sensual
gratification
A. "In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their
glances, whom no man or Jinn before them
has touched," (55:56).
B. "We have created (their Companions) of special creation. And
made them virgin - pure (and
undefiled), - Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- For the
Companions of the Right Hand," (56:35-
38)
C. "Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfillment of (the
heart's) desires; Gardens enclosed,
and grapevines, And voluptuous women of equal age,"
(78:31-33).
