#WomenRights #Islam #Oppression
A severe WARNING against oppressing women, be they daughters, sisters, wives or mothers. In the largest gathering of men. The status of women in Islam is very dignified. During the last few months of the life of the greatest man, Muhammad (ﷺ). On the day of Arafah, the greatest day the sun has ever risen upon. The prophet (ﷺ) gave a speech. And chose to speak about very few topics… of them was about the rights of women where he said: فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي النِّسَاءِ fulfill the rights of women, beware of Allah’s punishment had you not do so.
The prophet (ﷺ) said: إِنَّي أُحَرِّجُ عليكم حقَّ الضعيفينِ : اليتيمُ ، والمرأةُ
I warn you, concerning the failure to fulfill the rights of the two vulnerable: the orphan and the woman.'” [Sahih Al-Jami’]
As Daughters:
“ مَنْ يَلِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ شَيْئًا فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ ”.
The prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever is in charge of (put to test by) these daughters and treats them generously, then they will act as a shield for him from the (Hell) Fire.” [Al-Bukhari]
As Sisters:
The prophet (ﷺ) said: وَأَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ثَلاَثَةٌ ذُو سُلْطَانٍ مُقْسِطٌ مُتَصَدِّقٌ مُوَفَّقٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ رَقِيقُ الْقَلْبِ لِكُلِّ ذِي قُرْبَى وَمُسْلِمٍوَعَفِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ
The inmates of Paradise are three: One who wields authority and is just and fair, one who Is truthful and has been endowed with power to do good deeds. And the person who is merciful and kind hearted towards his relatives and to every pious Muslim, and one who does not stretch his hand in spite of having a large family to support. [Muslim]
As Wives:
The prophet (ﷺ) said: خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِي
“The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.” [Ibn Majah]
Hadith: عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ ـ تَعْنِي خِدْمَةَ أَهْلِهِ ـ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ.
Narrated Al-Aswad: That he asked `Aisha “What did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to do in his house?” She replied, “He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was the time for prayer he would go for it.” [Al-Bukhari]
As Mothers:
Hadith: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ مَنْ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِحُسْنِ صَحَابَتِي قَالَ ” أُمُّكَ ” . قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ” ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ ” . قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ” ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ ” . قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ” ثُمَّ أَبُوكَ ” .
A person came to Allah, ‘s Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Who among the people is most deserving of a fine treatment from my hand? He said: Your mother. He again said: Then who (is the next one)? He said: Again it is your mother (who deserves the best treatment from you). He said: Then who (is the next one)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Again, it is your mother. He (again) said: Then who? Thereupon he said: Then it is your father. [Muslim]
Hadith: جَاهِمَةَ، جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَغْزُوَ وَقَدْ جِئْتُ أَسْتَشِيرُكَ . فَقَالَ ” هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ أُمٍّ ” . قَالَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ ” فَالْزَمْهَا فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهَا ” .
Jahimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice.” He said: “Do you have a mother?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet.” [An-Nasai’]

Allahu akbar, thanks🙏
O peopel ! Say there is no God worthy of worship except ALLAH and you wil be successful.
Also brother when you say “ May Allah swt allow us to treat women in a way that is pleasing to him” it puts the emphases that Allah must allow you to be fair towards women. All of the commandments of Allah are doable for each human, he has already given us the capabilities to obey his commands. So the problem so far hasn’t been that Allah hasn’t been allowing the men to treat women well, but instead the day should be “ May Allah swt guide us in allowing us to know our short comings in dealing with his female slaves and acting upon them” The Muslim men who abuse women , don’t do so because Allah swt hasn’t allowed them to be just towards women. Being just is already within the capabilities of every human, whether they choose to or not is up to them. So the emphasis should be on saying “ May we men become the men that Allah approves of”
The next Khutba would be good if it goes over what the actual rights of woman are, maybe some men are ignorant of the rights of women due to the mixing of culture.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Allahu akbar!!
Proud to be a Muslim woman
Alhamdulillah Ya Hayyu Ya QAYYUM
Jazakum Allah khairan Shaykh Majed for this beautiful reminder! May Allah SWT accept and forgive our short comings!
I have a question in my mind longtime, what will happen to a husband who is very good at praying salah, good and charitable to others, obedient to parents but physically and emotionally abusive to his wife. Is he going to be punished? What kind of punishment he might get?
Ameen.
Excellent video. May Allah accept our repentance.
Br Majed, my hero .. May Allah Bless you brother, may Allah Bless the woman who gave birth to you, may Allah Bless that woman you gave birth to your kids. May Allah give me a little bit of what He gave you.
TabarkAllah fik ya akhi 👏
