quadro_bikeThere are numerous myths prevalent about Islam. I will be speaking about ten of them, which are most prevalent in the social media globe.
10 – Ladies can not give divorce and have to spend dowry for marriage
If it is talked about in the marital contract then even the wife can give unilateral divorce. But it is not described in the marital contract, then wife can either request the husband for divorce or if the husband refuses and the wife has excellent cause to ask for a divorce, she can go to an Islamic Judge and the judge would nullify the marriage.
Asking the would-be wife for dowry is a widespread practice in the Indo-Pak Subcontinent. But asking the would-be for dowry whether straight or indirectly is prohibited in Islam. In truth the husband has to give his wife an quantity of marital present called ‘Mehr’.
9 – Islam tells women to remain behind the veil, but does not teach men self-restraint
Commonly people speak about Hijab for girls, but Almighty God talks about Hijab for guys initially in Al-Qur’an 24:30 that if any man looks at a woman and any brazen thought comes into his thoughts, he need to reduce his gaze. Just after speaking about self-restraint, then Almighty God talks about Hijab for in the subsequent verse Al-Qur’an 24:31 that girls should really dress modestly, comprehensive physique covered and the only components which can be noticed are the face and hands till wrists.
eight – Islam calls for four witnesses to prove rape and punishes the rape victim for adultery
Qur’an says, “And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and do not generate four witnesses (to assistance their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes and reject their proof ever right after: for such guys are wicked transgressors-” (Al-Qur’an 24:4)
So if anybody accuses a woman of adultery, then the accuser has to bring four witnesses to prove it or otherwise the accuser is provided 80 lashes. So four witnesses are not for proving rape, but rather the requirement of 4 witnesses is shield the females from false accusation. In a case of rape the victim’s testimony, circumstantial proof and a medical report proving rape are adequate.
The rape victim is not punished. When a rape victim launches a case of rape against a man, then the lady can not be charged with adultery and can not be punished for adultery.
7 – Islam Promotes Honor Killings
Islam is entirely against honor killing and if any man kills any woman in the name of honor killing, then that man is punishable by death in Islam.
six – Women are forced into marriage in Islam
In Islam no one can force any lady into marriage against her wishes, not even her father. The marriage can only take location if each the lady and man willingly agree. And if anybody forces any lady into a marriage, then she can go to an Islam Judge, who will invalidate the marriage. Due to the fact it is pointed out in a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari Volume 7 Book 62 Quantity 69 that after a lady came to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and stated that her father has forced her into a marriage against her will and the prophet invalidated the marriage.
five – Islam subjugate the Non Muslims rights to worship
Islam makes it compulsory for the Islamic State to guard the Non Muslim’s places of worship. Islam provides Non Muslims full rights to worship as expected in their religion. Fasting during Ramadan prohibits abusing any god or goddess that they worship. As the Qur’an says in Sura Anaam Chapter six Verse 108, “Revile not these that they worship apart from Allah lest in the ignorance they revile Allah.”
4 – Islam treats females as second class citizens
In Islam, men and girls are equal, but not identical. In some situations ladies have a degree of benefit though in other cases men have a degree of advantage. For instance, girls get extra appreciate and compassion from the kids in Islam, so that is a degree of advantage for women. When Allah, the Almighty God has provided a lot more strength to men so in strength males have a degree of benefit.
Islam gave ladies the proper to vote, the proper to personal their personal home, to function and Islam tends to make it compulsory that if a woman does the very same operate as a man, then she should really also get the very same salary as the man. Islam gave ladies all these and quite a few extra rights 14 centuries ago, while the rest of the Planet only lately gave women these rights. That is why two third of the people, who convert to Islam are females.
3 – Islam was spread by the sword
A widespread myth about Islam is that it was spread by the sword, but persons fail to understand that Muslims armies in no way went to several Muslim majority regions and countries. For instance, Indonesia has the biggest Muslim population in the Planet and no Muslim army ever went to Indonesia. Qur’an unequivocally says, “There is no compulsion in religion.” (Al-Qur’an two:256)
two – Islam supports terrorism and killing of innocent human beings
Islam is against terrorism and the killing of any innocent human beings. As the Qur’an says in Sura al Maidah Chapter 5 Verse 32, “if anybody kills any innocent human getting, lest it be for murder or spreading corruption in the land, it is as even though he killed the whole humanity and if anyone saves the life of any innocent human becoming it is as though he saved the entire humanity.” Which means that if anyone human beings kills any innocent human beings, it is as though the killed the whole humanity.
1 – Jihad signifies Holy War or any war fought by any human becoming
Jihad does not imply ‘Holy War’, the word for ‘Holy War’ in Arabic is “Harbon Muqadasa”, which does not happen anywhere in the Qur’an or any saying of the prophet. Jihad does not imply any war fought by any Muslims for any reason. Jihad comes from the root word “Jahada”, which indicates “to strive, to struggle”. If a single strive for a great cause, it is referred to as “Jihad fisaibillah” meaning “Jihad in the way of Allah” and if anybody strive for a undesirable bring about it is named “Jihad fi sabi Shaitan” meaning “Jihad in the way of the Satan.” The Holy Qur’an teaches Muslims to strive in the way of Allah for the excellent bring about. The word used for fighting in the Holy Qur’an is “Qital”. Islam only permits fighting in self-defense and against tyranny and oppression.
