[3:195] “Their Lord responded to them: “I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you MALE OR FEMALE, YOU ARE LIKE ONE ANOTHER…”
Misogyny and Islam are a Major contradiction.
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w. was never a misogynist.
Could a misogynist set the standard of the best character by being BEST to the women?
Abu Hurayra stated, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘The most perfect of believers in belief is the best of them in character. The best of you are those who are the best to their women.’”
Could a misogynist tell that putting some food in the mouth of a wife would be rewarded?I am sure he would strongly discourage it.
Narrated Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas: Allah’s Apostle said, “You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife‘s mouth.” (Sahih Bukhari Book #2, Hadith #53)
Could a misogynist teach others to grant permission to the women if they ask so?No.
Narrated Salim bin ‘Abdullah: My father said, “The Prophet said, ‘If the wife of any one of you asks permission do not forbid her.” (Sahih Bukhari Book #12, Hadith #832)
Could a misogynist believe in slowly driving just for the care of women?No.
Could a misogynist mention the women as crystals?No.
Anas narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was once traveling (in a caravan and women were riding the camels) and a boy named Anjashah was chanting for the camels. The Messenger of Allah said: “O Anjashah, drive the camels slowly as they are carrying “Qawareer” (Crystals).Sahih Bukhari 5745
Could ever a misogynist forbids hating women?Could he discourage it?No.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Let not a believing man hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her attributes, he will be pleased with another.” (Narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurayrah, 1469).*
Could a misogynist assures paradise for upbringing girls?
Hadhrat Anas (Radhi Allahu anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu alaihe wasallam) said: “Whoever maintains two girls until they attain maturity, he and l will arrive on the Day of Judgement like this; he joined his two fingers.” (Muslim)
Could a misogynist ever mention more importance to mother than the father?The person against women could not do so.
A man came to the Prophet Mohammad (sal) asking: `O Messenger of Allah, who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said, your mother. The man said then who is next: the Prophet said, your mother. The man asked again, then who is next: the Prophet said, your mother. The man asked further and only then did the Prophet say, your father. (Al Bukhari) Kindness to parents, especially to mothers, is a foundation stone in the structure of Islam.
Another important points refuting Misogyny:
Recognizing her individuality, Islam grants a woman freedom of choice and _expression. We are encouraged to contribute opinions and ideas. Women would pose questions directly to the Prophet (sal) and to other Muslim leaders and offer their opinions concerning religion, economics, and social matters. (Qur’an 58:1-4; 60:10-12)
Actually it was 1400 years ago that a right to vote was given to the woman. When the women came to Prophet Mohammad (sal) and swore their allegiance to him, he had to accept their oath. This established the right of women to publicly participate in the selection of their leader. Nor does Islam forbid a woman from holding important positions in government.
Woman according to the Quran is not blamed for Adam’s first mistake. Both were jointly wrong in their disobedience to God, both repented, and both were forgiven. [Noble Quran 2:36, 7:20-24]
O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them – perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.(4:19)

Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded.”(4:34)
Concerning your children, God commands you that a “son should have the equivalent share of two daughters.” If there are only daughters, two or more should share two-thirds of the inheritance, if one, she should have half. Parents inherit a sixth each if the deceased leaves children; if he leaves no children and his parents are his sole heirs, his mother has a third, unless he has brothers, in which case she has a sixth. [In all cases, the distribution comes] after payment of any bequests or debts. You cannot know which of your parents or your children is more beneficial to you: this is a law from God, and He is all knowing, all wise. (4:11)
Divorced women must wait for three monthly periods before remarrying, and, if they really believe in God and the Last Day, it is not lawful for them to conceal what God has created in their wombs: their husbands would do better to take them back during this period, provided they wish to put things right. Wives have [rights] similar to their [obligations], according to what is recognized to be fair, and husbands have a degree [of right] over them: [both should remember that] God is almighty and wise.
O ye who believe! Ye are “forbidden to inherit women against their will.” Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary “live with them on a footing of kindness and equity.” If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good. (Quran 4:19)
“If a wife fears “cruelty” or desertion on her husband’s part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men’s souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. (4:128)”
If you [believers] fear that a couple may break up, appoint one arbiter from his family and one from hers. Then, if the couple want to put things right, God will bring about a reconciliation between them: He is all knowing, all aware. (4:35)
A divorce is only permissible twice: after that, the parties should either hold Together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for you, (Men), to take back any of your gifts (from your wives), except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah. If ye (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she give something for her freedom. These are the limits ordained by Allah; so do not transgress them if any do transgress the limits ordained by Allah, such persons wrong (Themselves as well as others). (2:229)
Another of His signs is that He created spouses from among yourselves for you to live with in tranquillity: He ordained love and kindness between you. There truly are signs in this for those who reject.
They (your wives) are your garment and “you are a garment” for them. (2:187)
People, be mindful of your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the pair of them spread countless men and women far and wide; be mindful of God, in whose name you make requests of one another. Beware of severing the ties of kinship: God is always watching over you.(4:1)
For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God’s praise — for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward. [ Quran 33:35 ]
And call in to witness two witnesses, men; or if the two be not men, then one man and two women, such witness as you approve of, that if one woman errs the other will remind her. Q. 2:282
On the other hand the women are excellent at handling relationships, expressing emotions, showing care and compassion to others, cooperating with their husbands, taking care of children, doing the shopping, remembering a list of things, organizing events, cooking, being patient and building up the family ties. This could be due to the fact that the male hormones make him much more aggressive and adaptable to outdoor life, whereas the females are more adapted for the family and social life. Women have been gifted with these special skills that are necessary to manage the home life. Leave a man to do this and he will make a mess of it. The children will be late for school; he will burn the shirt while ironing it, forget to get the milk from the shop and probably forget to clean up the house, not to mention the uncooked or burnt food he has to offer. They simply can not do all this monotonously, day in and day out. Men simply lack patience and perseverance. No wonder God chose women to get pregnant. Men have their own limitations in managing home affairs. As men mostly like discussing about business and investments they are generally better with numbers, whereas women are better at linguistic skills and love to talk about fashion and food and chat about current affairs and society.
Hence it makes perfect sense that while dealing with “financial transactions” why 1 male witness is equal to 2 female witnesses. If one of them errs then the other can support her.
other verses from the Qur’an where there is no differentiation between men and women to act as witnesses and the fact that a woman’s testimony is actually greater than her husband’s and enough to over rule her husband’s testimony.
No differentiation between men and women witnesses:
Test orphans until they reach marriageable age; then, if you find they have sound judgement, hand over their property to them. …When you give them their property, call witnesses in; but God takes full account of everything you do.(4:6)
As for those who accuse chaste women of fornication, and then fail to provide four witnesses,strike them eighty times, and reject their testimony ever afterwards: they are the lawbreakers, (24:4) except for those who repent later and make amends––God is most forgiving and merciful. (24:5) ( by islaminuk.)
The above verse makes it clear that there is no need for the witnesses in matters related to adultery and orphans to be male or female. Hence testimony of a male is clearly equal to that of a female. Critics have simply picked up verses out of context to prove their point.
If you read the context herehttp :// readquranonline . org / index /view/s/2/a/282, the Qur’an is referring to financial transactions. It is “only in the case of financial transactions” that 2 women witnesses are required instead of one male witness. The reason for this is not because men are superior to women but simply because men are more used to handling the business side of things and women generally are better at managing the home. Both are equally important and complement each other rather than one being superior or inferior to the other. Neither a man nor a woman can be expected to work whole day and take the children to school and to the doctors, do the shopping, clean the house and cook food for the family at the same time. They have to distribute the roles so that neither the business nor the home life suffers in anyway.
The Qur’an does not say that women have a greater right over men or men have a greater right over women in general, but it simply says that women have rights that are “similar” and men only have “a degree” of right over women. Therefore the Qur’an is saying that men and women have a similar degree of right over each other. Why the translators have added “advantage” is anyones guess!
From the verse (4:11) it is clear that the inheritance laws suggest that women only inherit half the share as compared to men. The justification for this is given in the verses – (4:33) where God has clearly asked the men to give a part of their share to their wives and verse (4:34) where God has laid the financial responsibility to support the wife on the husband as he gets a greater portion of the inheritance as compared to his sister. Hence the verse (4:34) is not talking about superiority of men but referring to verse (4:11) with regards to a greater portion of the inheritance that is given to men.( by islaminuk.)
"Women are not created weaker but more generous than men. They are created more beautiful and less fierce, as beauty hates to hurt and harm others. That is why they seem weak to people, but in reality they are not. Angels are the strongest of created beings, and women are closer to the angelic nature than men, as they are readier than men to carry angelic light. It is the good manners and ethics of spirituality which they carry which makes them less forceful than men. Even physically, however, they are extremely strong. They undergo great upheavals in their body without flinching for the sake of childbirth, and face the direst physical conditions more successfully than men because Allah has enabled them to insure the survival of generations." prophet muhammad
