Women Testimony; between Truth and Misconception

 In response to a woman saying:

“How does Islam make a doorman’s testimony to be as worth as twice that of mine when I am a Vice President at my university?!”

Let’s first agree that Testimony is not a skill or a job that requires a certain academic status.. but rather, it is a matter based on observation and ability to recall memory regarding rights and financial matters, which is the context of the following verse.

Allah says: "And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of them [i.e., the women] errs, then the other can remind her…" (Quran 2:282)

Men's focus on such matters is higher, especially financial matters, as they are more capable of them. This is explained in the verse in the reason for bringing two women with a man in testimony.

These are also some doubtful matters that are used by the enemies of Islam to destroy the cornerstone of society, which is the family, knowing that the key player in this family is the woman. So, they have made her forget her position and role, and leave her home out to work fields, equality, and freedom!!!!

It is necessary to accurately understand the Quran and the Islamic law (Shari’ah), so as to remove any misconception.

Islam has not differentiated between men and women as entities. Both men and women are held accountable for their actions and deeds.

Almighty God Allah says:
“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life,” Quran (16:97)

 The Messenger,(peace be upon him), has also said:
“Women are the counterparts of men”, and that is with respect to commands, prohibitions, and legislations.

As for roles; they differ.
Everyone has a role and function for which he is created…
Therefore, the rulings have been prescribed in accordance with that function and nature.

For example, the man is the one entitled to work and provision, so we find in some cases of inheritance that she gets half of what he inherits, but at the same time, she is not to provide for herself as he is responsible for her.

Back to women..

Women have the home front role in society, represented in the home and tranquility for everyone in it; the husband and the children.

God has given her the most important function and has prepared her for it... The man has the function of providing the necessities of life, even though it is a difficult role; but it is the least effective in society...

Allah says: “ Does He who created not know,[1716] while He is the Subtle, the Aware?” Quran 67:14

In some cases, women inherit more than men, and there are other issues in which women are preferred over men, like the mother over the father, women custody, adornment, and wearing gold and silver.

Many cases in which God has favored women over men according to their role!!!!

Why don't callers of equality talk about these matters then?!!!
