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.

🏗️ Corporate Complicity in Genocide: The Global Economy Behind Gaza’s Ruin.

📅 July 5, 2025 “We are witnessing not just genocide in Gaza—but a genocide made profitable.” — UN Special Rapporteur, A/HRC/59/23 “This report is written from the heart of darkness . It is penned with a broken hand from a broken land for a broken people . But its words are not broken . They are the words of law and of longing . They are the words of those who are not yet silenced . It is written for Palestinians , first and foremost. It is also addressed to those who remain silent , indifferent or complicit . And it is a call to action for those who are not.” — Introduction, UN Report A/HRC/59/23 In an unprecedented and unflinching report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has laid bare the truth that much of the world’s corporate, academic, and financial architecture is actively complicit in Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and now, genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just about military aggression . This is about the mac...

The Cracks Are No Longer Hairline

For decades, Washington treated support for Israel as something beyond debate. It was political scripture. Republicans defended it. Democrats defended it. Presidents came and went, wars came and went, thousands died, settlements expanded, Gaza burned, and the checks kept arriving. Questioning the arrangement was once political suicide. Now the walls are cracking. This week, more than half of House Democrats either voted to end U.S. aid to Israel or refused to oppose doing so. The amendment failed, but something far more important succeeded. The illusion collapsed. For years, American politicians insisted that criticism of Israeli government policy belonged only to "the fringe." Apparently the fringe has become half the Democratic caucus. History has an unusual sense of humor. The same establishment that spent years dismissing students, academics, humanitarian workers, doctors, journalists, and millions of protesters as naïve, radical, or antisemitic now finds itself strugglin...

When the Soup Kitchens Begin to Die

There is a special kind of cruelty in watching not only a society collapse, but also the last institutions keeping it alive. For nearly three years, Gaza's humanitarian lifeline has increasingly been reduced to a queue for a single meal. Parents no longer ask their children what they would like to eat. They ask whether there will be anything to eat at all. Childhood has become measured not in birthdays, classrooms, or family gatherings, but in ration lines, empty cooking pots, and the uncertain arrival of humanitarian assistance. Now even those fragile lifelines are disappearing. The gradual closure and scaling back of World Central Kitchen (WCK) operations reflects a convergence of financial pressures, operational insecurity, and restrictions affecting humanitarian access. According to World Central Kitchen and the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, kitchens that once produced approximately one million meals each day have been progressively reduced, leaving only a han...

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

WORLD OF EXCESS. Quotes of Corrine Maier

" we live in a world of excess: too many kinds of coffee, too many magazines, too many types of bread, too many digital recordings of Beethoven's Ninth, too many choices of rearview mirrors on the latest Renault. Sometimes you say to yourself: It's too much, it's all too much." ~  " We live in a society of ants, where working and reproducing represent the ultimate objective of the human experience. Work is the opiate of the people; will children be their consolation? A society where life consists of earning a living and raising your kids is a society with no future, since it has no dreams. Having a child is the best possible way to avoid asking what the meaning of life is, as everything revolves around that child, who is a marvellous substitute for the existential quest." "When you are "recruiting" people in temporary positions for the firm ( short term contracts, free lancers) treat them well, remember: they are the ones who actually do a...
