A message to women

Your lips are free to speak

A woman needs respect and protection, not love, perhaps this needs to be understood

A woman is a fragile gender, a woman is a thing to hide, a woman is the reason for the increase in population of any state. Before Islam, women had no status. Girls were buried alive as soon as they were born. Islam came and gave the woman a position that no other religion could give to the woman, she was even entitled to a share in the inheritance. 'Woman' has been given all the ranks of honor in this world. By giving her a daughter, a sister, a wife and above all a mother's relationship, the Lord of the worlds declared heaven under her feet so that man should make heaven obligatory for himself by serving him.

Although the reality is the opposite, women are still oppressed by men. Education is not considered necessary for what kind of job she has to do, but it is not thought that if a woman gets education, she will raise children in a better way. Will run the home system better. In this society of men, women are very weak. There is no respect for women. why so? Because the woman never raised her voice for her rights, she was subjected to every oppression and violence. This is the reason why self-confidence among women has disappeared. If girls do not have self-confidence today, how will they train the next generation?

'Women's rights' is a slogan that can be used by any politician, anchor person, NGO, to gain popularity. It is the easiest thing in the world to go ahead with the slogan of women's rights and whether the purpose is political or social, this slogan is very useful. Today, International Women's Day is celebrated across the country with great enthusiasm, functions are held, loud claims are made, meetings are held, meetings are held. But what is the result? Who gets the rights? Who gets protection? To whom is justice served? To what extent have the conditions of society changed? There is nothing like that, the problems of women in our country have increased instead of decreasing.

If we look at 'women's rights' in the context of Islam, there too we are stressed about women's rights. There is a need for this if both men and women work together to achieve success in religion and world while respecting each other. There was a time when there was a negative attitude towards working women. But now the time has changed, the working women have succeeded in their goal to a great extent and have promoted the idea in the society that women who go out of the house and work among men are actually supporting the house. Doing housework, she is also respected like women who perform their responsibilities while staying at home.

I have a message especially for those women who are sometimes forced and disturbed by their domestic conditions and have left themselves subject to circumstances. ؟

Say that your lips are free

Speak, the tongue is still yours

For God's sake! Now take care. Build courage and face the situation head on. Circumstances are subject to man and not man to circumstances. In today's advanced age, if a woman raises her voice for her rights, every possible effort is made to suppress her and she is ignored as she is helpless. Women want justice, respect, protection and above all, women want equality. Not only equality but superiority. We have to fight for our rights, our freedom. Freedom does not mean imitating the West. Freedom, whether it is about anything, becomes a nuisance if it is suggested too much. We also have to change the mindset of the people which is growing in the society. The right of a woman is Muslim, the sanctity of a woman is stable.

In this whole situation, we need to learn to use our abilities and energies in a positive way, distinguishing between good and bad. We have to try ourselves to increase the honor and position and status that we had in this society. Lest we become puppets in the hands of men in this society of men.
