Women and Islam P:I

Well noone answered the question in the previous post so let me ask about some other things that I found.




Women are deficient in mind and religion.

Mohammed asked some women, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?" The women said, "yes," He said, "This is because of the deficiency of the woman's mind. " Vol. 3:826



Mohammed to women: "I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you." Vol. 2:541



The majority of people in hell are women.

Mohammed said, "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women. " Vol. 1:28, 301; Vol. 2:161; Vol. 7:124



Women are a bad omen.

Mohammed said, " Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse." Vol. 7:30



Women are harmful to men.

Mohammed said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women." Vol. 7:33



Women may not wear wigs.

Mohammed said, " Don't wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially." Vol. 7:133
 
Salaam
You must write the complete text of Hadith and the occasion of it to understand the importance and the reasons behind them , each Hadith was a reaction of events or discussion between Muslims and prophet ,so to understand any Hadith you must return to the occasion of it .
Women are harmful to men.

Mohammed said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women." Vol. 7:33​
I return to the Arabic text , and I read that prophet Mohammed (puh) speak to Muslims women in certain occasion as an advice for them to beware of some behaviors that does not accepted in Islam and he nention about the impact of the women on men ,women can influence the behaviors of men to do good or bad things , so the prophet asked women to remember Allah and his punishment and courage men to do the right behaviors .
Do you see that women can’t influence the behaviors of men ??

we should mention here that the prophet spoke about the average not all , we see that most (not all )of women do anything coming in their minds without thinking about the result , there is conflict inside all people (men and women ) between the judgment of heart and the judgment of mind , you can observe that most women tend to follow the Judgment of heart ( this is physically in the women to deal with her children and her family ).and about the religious deficient women doesn't pray or fast in certain time during each month and this is because Allah give them the permission to take rest for healthy purposes , this is what the Muslims scholars said about the religious deficient of women .
we must do not forget that in other situations Islam accepts the testimony of a woman as equal to that of a man. In fact the woman's testimony can even invalidate the man's. If a man accuses his wife of unchastely, he is required by the Quran to solemnly swear five times as evidence of the wife's guilt. If the wife denies and swears similarly five times, she is not considered guilty and in either case the marriage is dissolved (24:6-11).

Also It's clearly mentioned in Al Quraan that sometimes women have many family's tasks that make her forget what she saw or heard
, so if they are two women they will remind of each other .
Women may not wear wigs.

Mohammed said, " Don't wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially." Vol. 7:133​
This indicate that Islam against cheating behaviors , you must does not refuse what Allah give you by changing your outside shape , natural beauty is more beautiful from artificial beauty , and I think the inner beauty is the worthiest beauty .
 
I remember a hadith that was discussed on another forum, in which the Prophet forbade women to walk in the middle of the street, the men's domain, and that they must keep on the sides, kind of hugging the walls.
 
If you insist I can search the discussion on that forum (a couple of months ago), but as far as I remember some people came up to the Prophet complaining that women were freely walking around on market-places and streets.

yes give me the context
 
The ironic thing in all of this, in terms of empasis between the Christian Eve and the Islamic Eve is that there have been quite a few strong female leaders from Christian societies and I see no sign of such a woman emerging from an Islamic state. If Eve was the temptress then Christians seemed to have forgivern her, and allowed members of her sex to lead men once more.

The restriction of women in the arabic countries isn't due to islam,but due to pre-islamic arab tradtion.

Islam is over 1000 years old. Plenty of time to re-address the balence. I've noticed that Pre-Islamic Arabia seems to be the stock answer to all un easy observations.
 
Not only Muslim countries but all Mediterranean countries have a tradition of restricting women.

Yes and there are laws installed to counter balence this, also the European convention on Human Rights...I think they are doing something (and have done) right now about it.

Its just too easy to see the flaws in others without addressing ones own.
 
I think that those traditional restrictions on women are disappearing on the European side of the Mediterranean because they aren't embedded in religious scriptures.
