How is it possible that men and women, about whom the term “opposite sex” is used today, have the same scope? Both sexes are different from each other in their physical form, strength, ability to think, etc., so how was it possible that the sphere of action of both commodities is the same.
It is against justice and fairness that two people with different abilities should be engaged in a job, one of which is capable of carrying the work and the other is not at all. So how can the same results come out? The requirement of justice is that the abilities that have been placed in them by nature and the responsibilities that have been made binding on them should be taken from them. Then the best results can be expected and achieved.
And when it is said that Islam is a complete code of life, there is no doubt about it. Undoubtedly, this is the only religion that guides us completely in every field of life, whether it is related to politics or society and society. Even in the field of rights and duties, Islam has given guidance regarding men and women and has fully explained the scope of both sexes.
A strong family is essential to the development of any society, and the basic unit of the family is the man and the woman. A complete society is formed through both of them. Therefore, the scope of responsibilities of both have been defined. A woman is bound to spend her talents indoors, i.e. within the home. The raising of children, their best training and domestic responsibilities are on women, about which they should be asked, because it is included in the responsibility of a woman and questions are always made about the responsibilities. According to the Prophet’s decree, a woman will protect her husband’s bed (complete chastity), and his children, while on the other hand, the outside responsibility of livelihood is on the man. It is a man’s responsibility to earn and spend on his family, and he cannot be exempted from this responsibility in any way.
Even a man who does not have the ability (to earn a salary) to marry is prohibited from marrying. According to the saying of the Prophet, whoever has the means to marry, he should get married, because marriage is a source of attraction and protection of the private parts, and a person who does not have the ability to marry should not take responsibility for his income. can), he should make it obligatory upon himself to fast; Because fasting breaks human lust.
According to the Prophet’s statement, “the breadwinner” means a man who can provide for a family, i.e. can fulfill the wife’s basic rights of “house, clothing and food” and can also provide for the next generation, that is marriage. Do it. Such a man who cannot bear the responsibilities of marriage, i.e. the responsibilities of livelihood, cannot marry. But the tragedy of our society is that a person who doesn’t do any work is proposed for marriage. And the result is nothing but disaster, that he brings about the ruin of a woman and his race along with himself.
The responsibility of livelihood is not imposed on the woman in any way. In the Holy Qur’an, “Men are guardians of women, because Allah gave superiority to one of them over the other and because of that, men (spends their wealth on women) has made it clear why men have superiority over women that they are obliged to spend their wealth on them. And such a man who does not want to take up this responsibility will also lose the level of virtue that the Shariat has given him.
If you think about it, you will know that Islam is the only religion that gives women a high position. Only in the matter of finance, that is, in the matter of livelihood, women have been given an advantage over men. A man cannot under any circumstances force a woman to take up the responsibilities of livelihood. Not at all! But if a woman wants to do a job or business of her own free will, Islam does not prohibit it. In the event that a woman has the ability to manage the household responsibilities well as well as outside livelihood. The biggest example of this is Hazrat Khadija, who used to trade. During the period of Prophethood, women used to carry out regular “treatment” work. During the reign of Hazrat Umar Farooq RA, “Hazrat Shafa RA”, the woman who was appointed as Islam’s first “market administrator”, i.e. overseer of the bazaar, due to her business acumen. The history of Islam is replete with the names of eminent women who worked in all walks of life, and became financially self-sufficient.
But even in this case, the man has no authority over the woman’s earnings. A woman is not obliged to invest her earnings on her children or house, rather she alone will inherit this earnings. The man has no control over her, nor can he ask where she is investing her earnings. Because this right has been given to him by Islam (Quran and Sunnah), and no one can take away any right given by Islam. This should be a momentary concern to men who force women to take on the responsibilities of the household so that they can run the household. This is the responsibility from which a woman has been absolved by Allah and His Messenger, as long as it involves her own will. Then who is the man to put this responsibility on the woman, except if the woman herself works with her own pleasure to support the man or for herself. This is the religion of Islam, in which a woman is not only the owner of a man’s earnings, but she is also the owner of her own earnings alone.
Therefore, while the virtue of every man is conditioned by the responsibilities of livelihood on a woman, the rights of a woman are also conditioned by her responsibilities. It is the responsibility of a woman to obey a man according to Sharia and to protect his wealth, children and her self. If a woman shows indifference to these responsibilities, she will also lose the rights that Islam promises her. And this is the best example of rights and duties that only Islam can provide because it is not a law made by any man but it is a law made by Allah. Free from all faults and pure.
