Islam Treats Woman as Priceless Gem: Egyptian Scholar
This was affirmed by popular Egyptian scholar Dr Omar Abdul Kafi as part of the cultural programme of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) which started on Thursday night.
In his inspiring lecture at the Women Renaissance Society, Dr Abdul Kafi enlightened the audience, who were women only, on how Islam has outstandingly honored woman and showed her respect.
“Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was reported as saying: ‘whoever keeps patient and tolerant with his daughters, they shall shield him against hellfire in the Dooms Day.”
As a wife, he said ‘whoever gets married, has to worry no more about half of his religion, he added. “However, he needs to be good to his wife; the other half.”
Dr Abdul Kafi said Islam has also respected woman as a mother. “Prophet Muhammad advised a man who wants to leave his mother alone to go for war: “Go back and serve her, for there is Paradise.”
This is not everything as Islam has also made men and women on equal footing in terms of duties and reward, as affirmed in Verse 97/16 of the Holy Quran, he underlined.
“God said: Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely make him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.”
