The woman in Islam, in Islamic world and in Non Islamic countries

It is wide view especially in west, US that Islam undermine the rights and image of woman and in Islam woman are as second class citizen.
This post discuss such stereotype and I will try to shed light.
First it should be clear that teaching of Religion Islam about woman is possibly be something different one than practical illustration or events that occurred in Islamic world . If some peoples from any Muslim country flogging some woman, it is not just consider the teaching of Islam. I mean stoning to death is a punishment that is truly teaching of Islam but Islam lay rules and severely stiff regulation for this punishment, too severely stiff regulation that practically such punishment occurred very scarcely.
How is it? The Holy Quran says about it: (The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.) (An-Nur 24: 2).
The punishment for married man and woman is very different from the punishment for unmarried man and woman. Flogging is punishment for unmarried woman and unmarried man while death penalty is punishment for married man and married woman. The testimony of FOUR WITNESSES who state under oath that they have witnessed the commission of the crime. Now practically it is very rare that four persons witness such crime when it is occurring while they state under oath that they have witness the commission of crime, if one out of four is in doubt about witness the punishment will not apply.
Scholars also says that the four witness must be trustworthy. It is not enough for four people to show up at court and give testimony. THE WITNESSES AND THEIR BACKGROUNDS HAVE TO BE CAREFULLY SCRUTINIZED BY THE COURTS TO DETERMINE THEIR TRUSTWORTHINESS AND HONESTY. They have to be able to demonstrate that they saw the crime. It is not easy to explain how one was able to witness such an act without being guilty of any wrongdoing oneself. The witnesses have to see actual sexual penetration. This is not an easy thing to explain.
If the CONDITION of four witnesses of determined trustworthiness is not fulfilled, each of those who accused the person of adultery is given 80 lashes with a whip as the punishment for bearing false witness.
Allah Almighty says: “And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations), flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors.” [Sûrah al-Nûr: 4]
The fuqaha? (may Allah have mercy on them) stated that the basic act of zina which carries the punishment is illegal sexual intercourse, whereby the two ?circumcised parts? [i.e. genitals] come together and there is penetration of the tip of the penis, because this is actual penetration (which carries the prescribed hadd or punishment).
Now it is crystal clear that how this punishment imply in such stiff rules and regulations.
Now if flogging or stoning punishment given in any Islamic countries, it must be noted that whether it fulfilled the rules and regulation of Islam? This punishment has more psychological effects that actually work and in whole Islamic history it is scarcely rare that such conditions met and consequently sexual immorality is suffocated and eradicated in Islamic society.
The painful consequences of sexual immorality that are wide spread in our societies are not necessary to explain in this post, we all familiar about these.
How woman is treated in most part of non Islamic societies? Alas the bitter realities are very painful. Sex trade of woman is very "flourishing" industry in India and other western, eastern countries where woman are treated like sex slaves. There are more than 10 millions woman in India that are indulge in sex trade. Even in metropolitan cities of India one can watch the woman in cages. Lets watch these videos
Little knowledge is dangerous thing, similarly non serious attitude toward our bleeding social issues is very harmful.
May Allah Almighty show us right path and forgive our sins.
Perhaps there are mistakes and errors in this post related to this important and sensitive topic. Your feedback about this post is highly worthily for me.

A Rabbi Against the State: When Faith Refuses Power

In a world where identity is weaponized and religion is drafted into political armies, the sight of an ultra-Orthodox rabbi standing beside Palestinian flags unsettles nearly everyone. Yet there stands — black coat, beard, sidelocks — calmly declaring something that scrambles modern assumptions: “ Judaism is not Zionism.” For him, this is not rebellion . It is obedience . Affiliated with , a small and highly controversial Haredi sect, Rabbi Beck represents a theological current that predates modern nationalism. His argument is not secular. It is not progressive. It is not post-modern. It is ancient . And that is precisely the point. The Interview That Disturbs Categories In one widely circulated long-form interview, the exchange unfolds with almost disarming simplicity. Interviewer: Rabbi Beck, how can you oppose Israel as a Jewish rabbi? Rabbi Beck: Judaism and Zionism are two completely different things. Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a political movement founded little more ...

When the Warning Comes from the General Moshe Ya’alon, Jewish Supremacy, and the Echo Nobody Wanted to Hear

History has a cruel sense of irony. Sometimes the most devastating indictments do not come from the oppressed, the bombed, the buried, or the silenced—but from the very architects of power who once swore they were different. This week, that indictment came from Moshe Ya’alon : former Israeli Defense Minister, former IDF Chief of Staff, lifelong pillar of Israel’s security establishment. Not a dissident poet. Not a radical academic. Not a Palestinian survivor. A general. And what he said shattered the last polite illusion. “ The ideology of Jewish supremacy that has become dominant in the Israeli government is reminiscent of Nazi race theory.” Pause there. Sit with it. This was not shouted at a protest . It was not scribbled on a placard. It was written calmly, deliberately, after attending a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony —then reading reports of Jewish settlers attacking Palestinians , blocking ambulances , fracturing skulls , burning homes. Never Again, apparently, now ...

“Not Auschwitz — Yet Still Genocide”: When Israeli Holocaust Historians Break the Silence on Gaza

There are moments in history when the most unsettling truths do not come from one’s enemies, but from within. From those who know the past most intimately. From those whose moral authority is built not on ideology, but on memory. In December 2025, two of Israel’s most respected Holocaust and genocide scholars— Prof. Daniel Blatman and Prof. Amos Goldberg of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem—published a deeply unsettling opinion article in Haaretz . What they argued was not casual, rhetorical, or activist hyperbole. It was a grave historical judgment. Their conclusion was stark: What is happening in Gaza is not Auschwitz. But it belongs to the same family of crimes: genocide. Why This Voice Matters Blatman and Goldberg are not marginal figures. They are historians whose professional lives have been devoted to studying Nazi crimes, genocide mechanisms, memory, and moral responsibility . Their scholarship is rooted in the very catastrophe that shaped modern Jewish iden...

Even the Dead Are Not Safe: How Power Desecrates Graves and Calls It Security

There is a final dignity that every civilization, every faith, every moral tradition claims to respect: the dignity of the dead. In Gaza and the West Bank, even that has been revoked. Homes can be flattened. Children can be starved. Hospitals can be reduced to ash. These crimes, we are told, are “tragic necessities.” But graves ? What threat does a corpse pose to a modern army armed with drones , tanks , and nuclear ambiguity ? Apparently, enough to be bulldozed. Graves as Enemy Infrastructure According to detailed reporting by Al Jazeera , Israeli forces in Gaza did not merely fight the living — they waged war on cemeteries . Tombstones were crushed. Graves were excavated . Human remains were scattered, mixed, lost . Families returned not to mourning, but to forensic horror: bones without names, names without bodies. This was not collateral damage . This was not crossfire. This was methodical excavation . Heavy machinery was deployed to retrieve the body of one ...

Don’t Spoil the Show: Gaza, Davos, and the Business Class of Peace

There is a rule at Davos—unwritten, but strictly enforced. Reality is bad for business. Yossi Alpher learned this the hard way. Sitting on a panel at a luxury resort near the Dead Sea, surrounded by ministers, executives, and conflict “experts,” he made the unforgivable mistake of speaking honestly. Grim facts. Grim assessments. No PowerPoint optimism. No Riviera renderings. No applause. A prominent Israeli industrialist later pulled him aside and explained the crime: “ Don’t spoil the show . The idea is to radiate optimism that nourishes an investment climate . It’s all about business. No room for realism .” That sentence may be the most accurate peace-process doctrine of the 21st century. Phase II: Now With Billionaires Fast forward to Davos again. This time, the stage is Gaza—or rather, Gaza™ , the investment opportunity. Trump’s “Board of Peace,” staffed by billionaires and brand managers of global destruction , announces Phase II of a Gaza peace plan with all the s...
