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.

When Crusaders Go Digital: Old Wars, New Costumes, Same Bloodlust

History, it seems, has developed a dark sense of humor. After centuries of reflection, scholarship, and solemn declarations of “never again,” we now find elected officials—armed not with swords but with AI filters —cosplaying as Crusaders . Progress , apparently, means upgrading from iron armor to algorithmic propaganda. Let’s begin where this story actually starts—not in Washington, not in Tel Aviv, but nearly a thousand years ago, when Europe launched what it called “holy wars.” ⚔️ The Original Crusades: A Brief Reminder The Crusades (1095–1291) were not a single war but a series of campaigns initiated after Pope Urban II’s call at Clermont in 1095. His message was simple and devastatingly effective: reclaim Jerusalem, and God will reward you. What followed was not a clean clash of armies, but waves of violence that engulfed entire regions—from France and Germany through Hungary, into Byzantium, Antioch, and Palestine. Historians caution that medieval records are fragmented, but acro...

When the System Is Questioned by Its Own Guardians. A Warning Israel Can’t Dismiss.

  When the Warning Comes From Within There are moments in history when criticism from the outside can be dismissed—but when it comes from within, it becomes something far more dangerous: a mirror. That is what makes the recent letter by the The London Initiative so unsettling. Jewish philanthropists. Rabbis. Community leaders. Not critics of Israel—but voices shaped by it—now warning Isaac Herzog that something has gone terribly wrong. Their charge is stark: extremist settler violence is no longer fringe— it is becoming normalized. The Numbers That Refuse to Stay Quiet This is not rhetoric. It is data. Israeli military data (reported by Haaretz ) shows settler attacks rose by 25% in 2025 845 attacks in 2025 alone , injuring around 200 Palestinians Since October 2023: over 1,700 recorded settler attacks Early 2026: an average of 4 incidents per day And according to the United Nations and field reporting: Hundreds of Palestinians injured already in 2026 Entire ...

Morality Compass? Or a Weapon of Convenience

There is something almost poetic about the sudden rediscovery of morality in war. Not morality itself. Not restraint. But the language of it. Because today, we are told—once again—that there are limits. That civilians matter. That infrastructure must not be touched. And yet, at the very same moment, Donald Trump openly threatens to “ obliterate” Iran’s infrastructure —including electric grids and water desalination plants , the very systems that keep millions alive. Water. Electricity. The basic architecture of survival . Not hidden in classified documents. Not whispered behind closed doors. But declared—casually, publicly, almost theatrically. So let’s ask again: Where exactly is this moral compass? Because if destroying water systems—knowing it will deprive civilians of drinking water—is not crossing a line, then perhaps the line was never there. Legal experts are not confused about this. Targeting such infrastructure is widely considered prohibited under internatio...

The War That Wins on Paper—and Bleeds in Reality

  The War That Always Works—Until It Doesn’t There is a certain elegance to modern war. Not the destruction. Not the bodies. But the presentation . The language is always impeccable: “ Strategic degradation” “Precision targeting” “Limited objectives” It almost sounds like a policy workshop — not the opening act of something that may consume an entire region. And once again, the script is being rehearsed. Iran is “weakened.” Its systems are “degraded.” Its options are “limited.” And somewhere between these carefully chosen words, a very old idea quietly returns: Maybe this time, we finish it. Chapter One: The Seduction of Air Power Airstrikes are irresistible. They promise control without commitment. Dominance without vulnerability. Victory without presence. You can bomb a country… without ever having to meet it . No dialects to understand. No terrain to navigate. No জনগোষ্ঠী to confront. Just coordinates. And for a brief moment— it feels like war ...

Bibi: King, Godfather, and Master of Everything—Except Morality

  Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu doesn’t just do politics—he performs it. According to a childhood friend: “Bibi told me one day that Yair can replace him… He really thinks it’s like a kingdom.” Ah yes, the crown of Israel is apparently hereditary, and the heir is already chosen. Why bother with democracy when you can run a dynasty? The man’s ego deserves its own zip code. A former communications chief spills the truth: “…many leaders make mistakes after success, when they start to believe they are untouchable… Benjamin Netanyahu started believing what his wife has been telling him for years: ‘You’re the one!’” Congratulations, Bibi—you’ve been knighted by your own echo chamber. Confidence? Sure. Arrogance that poisons a nation? Absolutely. And then there’s the truth. Or whatever version of it suits the day. One critic sums it up perfectly: “Bibi lies left and right… lying, for him, is not something bad.” If lying were an Olympic sport, Netanyahu would have more gold than Israel ...
