Honorable Women in the Quran Copy HONORABLE WOMEN IN THE QURAN & POWERFUL LESSONS FROM THEIR LIVES FOR MUSLIM WOMEN.. Only Maryam A.S is mentioned by name, the other honorable women in Quran are mentioned by their family relations. Calling people by family references was an Arabic tradition in those times. Quran- "There is instruction in their stories 12 : 1 11 for people of intelligence. This is not a narration that has been invented, but a confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe" QURAN- 1 7: 24, 7:27, 39:6 H AW WA 30:20, 4:1, 7:189, Hawwa R.A was created from Adam A.S and was his spouse. She was the first woman to be created by Allah and served as the source of CLICK HERE FOR life. She was the Mother of Mankind. ALL REFERENCES LESSONS LEARNED Her repentance in Quran serves as a reminder for all humans that they are bound to sin. However, what differentiates a true believer from a disbeliever is the ability to ask Allah for forgiveness and better themselves. The story of Adam and Hawwa also reminds us of Allah’s forgiveness and gives hope to all Muslims. QURAN- 2 20: 37-40, Umm-e-Musa 28: 7-13 The mother of Hazrat Musa (AS) gave birth to Musa (A.S) during the reign of Pharoah, who decreed the persecution of children of Israel (only CLICK HERE.. the males). She received Divine inspiration REFERENCE 1, (Wahi- a direct message from Allah) and obeyed REFERENCE 2 Allah despite her motherly instincts. She suckled Musa (AS) and let him go with a firm belief in Allah’s plans. Musa (A.S) survived, was reunited with his mother and later became a beloved Prophet of Allah. LESSONS Umm-e-Musa holds a highly respectable LEARNED position in Islam and serves as an example for all women because of her unshakable faith in Allah’s plans and His promise, as well as strict obedience to Allah’s orders. Her story inspires us to always have complete trust in Allah’s plans even if we don’t understand them. 3 QURAN- 28: 7-9, Asiya 66: 1 1 Asiya was the wife of the tyrant and most powerful man to walk earth at the time, the CLICK BELOW.. Pharaoh of Egypt. She took Musa (A.S) in as he REFERENCE 1, got off the shore and convinced her husband REFERENCE 2 to adopt him as a son. Musa (A.S) grew under her protection, to become a great Prophet of Allah. When Musa (A.S) called people to believe in Allah, Pharaoh tortured and severely punished all those who believed in Musa (A.S) including his own wife, Asiya. But despite living in wealth and luxury, Asiya firmly believed in Allah and knew her true home was in Paradise. She willingly gave up her life and all the glitter in it to submit to Allah’s will. Her strong personality stands as an example LESSONS for all Muslim women. Her story serves as a LEARNED reminder for Muslim women to stop running after wordly wealth and pleasures. It encourages Muslims to be ready to sacrifice anything including comfort, wealth and life itself, to be fearless of all those with worldly power and stand up to anyone who comes in the way of faith for the sake of Allah. 4 QURAN- Wife of MUSA 28: 22-28 Musa (A.S)’s wife had the confidence to suggest to her own father for her marriage to Musa (A.S) by asking him to hire Musa (A.S). She was an intelligent, intuitive, shy woman who knew how CLICK HERE FOR to approach men while going out to work in- ALL REFERENCES stead of her old father. She was respectful and loving to her father. Above all, she didn’t care about the facts that Musa (A.S) was a fugitive, had killed a man and that he was homeless. Instead, she intended to marry him because he was an honest, physically strong man with a noble character and dignity. Those qualities that the wife of Musa (A.S) observed are the ones women should look for in LESSONS men when considering marriage. Another lesson is that it’s okay for Muslims (men and women) to LEARNED like someone. What matters is that you approach them in the right way, with Haya (shyness) and respect, and a sincere intention to marry. Finally, Musa’s wife was a working woman. The way she approached men with dignity while being properly covered should serve as a guide for all working Muslim women and encourage them to observe Haya like she did. QURAN- 5 3:42-43 & 45-47 Mariam 21:91 Mariam (A.S) is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. The 19th chapter of Holy Quran is named after her, the only chapter of Quran CLICK HERE.. named after a woman. REFERENCE 1, REFERENCE 2 She was the mother of Isa (A.S). She became pregnant even though she had never been with any man and had to deliver her child all alone while being accused of sinning. She had exemplary strength as she had to deliver her child all alone without anyone’s LESSONS support. Her strength should inspire pregnant LEARNED women to stay strong and positive during pregnancy. Her patience during the difficult time of pregnancy while having to face accusations by people is a reminder for Muslims to have faith in Allah’s plans, trust Allah, stay optimistic and seek patience through prayer during hardship. OTHER HONORABLE WOMEN MENTIONED IN THE QURAN: QURAN- 33:59 Daughters of PROPHET 6 Muhammad (S.A.W) QURAN- Wives of PROPHET 7 33:59, Muhammad (S.A.W) 33:28-34 QURAN- 27:41-42 8 Bilquis (Queen of Sheeba) 9 daughters of QURAN- 11:79, PROPHET Lot (A.S) 15:71 QURAN- wife of the Prophet 11:71-72 ibrahim (A.S) 10 QURAN- 11 Wife of Imran 3:35-36 QURAN- The woman who 58:1 12 complained to ALLAH about her husband.

  • Social Guarantee for Women in the Quran: Theory and Reality
    Social Guarantee for Women in the Quran: Theory and Reality Syamruddin Nasution1 and Khoiruddin Nasution2 1UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru 2UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Yogyakarta Keywords: social, guarantee, justice, equal, status, wife and husband. Abstract: Islam is a religion of renewal. The renewed aspects of Islam can be grouped into five. First is the belief system of the polytheist system that is renewed into monotheistic. Second, the familial system of the patriarchal system that becomes bilateral & egalitarian. Third, the social system of hierarchical-structured that becomes egalitarian. Fourth, the economic system of the bourgeois-capitalistthat is reformed to a justice economy. Fifth, the collective (tribal) responsibility system that is renewed by Islam to become individual. The role of wife is one of many that is renewed by Islam in regards of the familial system. In line with it, in Indonesia where Muslim is the majority, it has tried various efforts to ensure the social justice that Islam provides to the wife. One of these efforts is enacted in marriage regulation in which wife quite hard in rights like it should be. This paper seeks to show the social justice that Islam provides for women with thematic studies of the Quran. Then shows why social security provided by Islam has not been obtained in society or even judiciary, especially the Islamic Courts in Indonesia. In fact, from 106 cases coming to the Islamic Court, only two of them providing the guarantee of the right of wife. 1 INTRODUCTION majority of thinkers still understand the Qur’an partially. Likewise, the available books are still Islam is a religion of renewal.

    Master of Arts Intercultural Theology Georg-August-Universität Göttingen August 2020 Narrative of Mary and Maryam as An Alternative Solution for Intolerance in Indonesia Submitted by: Mikhael Sihotang 21801251 Supervised by: PD. Dr. Fritz Heinrich Prof. Dr. Peter Gemeinhardt 1 Acknowledgement It never occurred to me that the universe would actually take me to Germany to continue my theological education to a master level. I was clueless. It is true that since I was a child I often shared my dream of studying in Germany, even though if I was asked at that time how would I get to Germany, I would not give any answers. The fact that I come from an ordinary family, financially, this dream seemed even more impossible to me then. However, thanks to the help of many noble people around me this dream has finally come true and I left for Germany in October 2018. I confidently can claim it was one of the happiest moments I have ever had. This happiness was beyond description. I was so amazed that I had difficulty accepting this dream really come true. Even until a few months living in Germany, I was still often pensive and had difficulty believing that I was actually sitting in a class at Goettingen University, Germany with 22 other students from 16 countries. So fabulous. For this precious opportunity, I would like to humbly dedicate this thesis to all those who have played their part in helping me achieving many things to date. First, I want to dedicate this thesis to the Lord Jesus Christ who has provided me many things needed to ensure this journey of mind and spiritual come to the reality.

In the United States, Muslim women find ways to negotiate their identities, express their concerns, and learn through their faith by means of Islamic scholarship, Islamic feminism, and reinterpretations of the Quran. They are reconciling their multifaceted identities with better understanding of sacred text as well as solidifying their desired gender roles within their communities. They are challenging norms and creating new spaces for themselves within the ummah as well as the United States. American Muslim women find courage, strength, and autonomy through Islamic feminist traditions, solidarity with like-minded men and women from their own and other faith traditions, and community-based outreach programs fueled by their faith and compassion.

  • Investigating the Effect of Gender on Consultation from the Perspective of Quran and Islamic Traditions
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND May 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Investigating the effect of gender on consultation from the perspective of Quran and Islamic Traditions Mohammad Etratdoost PhD, Jurisprudence and Principles of Islamic Law, University of Qom, Iran [email protected] Abstract At first glance, it is very difficult for each Muslim man and woman that men are recommended not to consult with women. What is more important is that in some cases, the lack of women's intellectuality has been introduced as the reason for not consulting with them. Today, the presence of women in the scientific community and their expertise in different areas has increased dramatically when compared to the past. Is it possible to believe that consultation with women is absolutely prohibited in Islamic tradition? This study tried to answer this question using a descriptive-analytical design and library data collection. The results showed that firstly, the lack of women's intellectuality doesn't mean the lack of their values and only refers to some genetic differences which cause the power of men in thinking and the power of women in feeling. This also means the relative weakness of women in empirical reasoning that is created by the socio-cultural situations throughout history. Secondly, the Quranic verses and the tradition state that women can also reach the salvation and that they directly or indirectly ordain consulting with women and accepting their advisory vote. The Islamic traditions stating the prohibition of consulting with woman are just mentioned to be applied to some certain cases.
