Women In Islam

(Cyril Lee)

Nowadays, girls generally wear hot pants, bikinis, tank tops and also go shopping, do whatever they want as the society has already accepted the female but it is different in Islam society. There is a very complicated relationship among females and Islam societies.

In fact, this is a very historical issue. Koran has weaken the social position of female. According to Koran Chapter 2 verse 223, 'Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves...' This majorly affect how Islam males treat on the females as Koran is supreme in Islam.Since this, there are many unfair treatment on females in Islam such as beating.

For me, although this is a very complicated problem which includes history and religion factors, I think this is not tolerated and unreasonable in nowadays society because it eliminates the femininity. Just like the old Chinese, 'men are the breadwinners; women are the homemakers', or even worse than this for the Islam. Sometimes, there is news about some male rapping female or scapegoat of their husbands if the husband committed crimes.

So you can see that there are films in recent years which show the stronger side of femininity such as Bé Omid é Didar, an Iraq film which a Muslim woman stand straight in front of the Muslim Dictatorship.

Besides, there is also Islamic feminism. They try to help the Islam female to get rid of discrimination but without breaking Islamic Rules.

We cannot overthrow the religion but we can understand it from another point. Maybe we cannot actually help the Islamic Female but we should admire their fortitude.
