A student from India discusses the issue of men and women being equal in Islam, with a focus on behavioral changes that take place in a woman’s mental and physical state. The man has to listen to the people, solve their disputes, and mix up the words into their actions. The woman has to lead the people in prayer, and men have to fight each other. The man cannot say he wants to become a mother, but it is important to know each person has their own personality and reward.

We will take the last question assalamualaikum My name is

00:00:04 --> 00:00:10

Muhammad KEF I am a student of class 10 from India, Bihar Patna.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:15

Why all the messengers of Allah in Islam are males is the no equality

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

in Islam between men and women. In Islam, men and women are equal.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:26

Equality does not mean identical at men and woman. They are equal,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

but they're not identical.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

And Allah subhanaw taala has given each

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

person his own responsibility.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

And there are a few reasons why Allah subhanaw taala did not

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

choose woman to be prophets or messengers of Allah subhanaw

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

taala.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

And I'll just mention with you these reasons.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

The first is that

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

there are various behavioral changes that take place in a

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

woman, for example, the menstrual cycle, the postnatal bleeding.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

So in these situations, a woman her mental and physical state, it

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

is low,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

she cannot do the role of a prophet, and she cannot fulfill

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

the responsibilities of a prophet.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

Besides is the woman, she also has pregnancy.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

And when she is a mother, she has to take care of her child or her

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38

children at the early stages of life. In all of these situations,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

a woman

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

She cannot do the role of a mother, whereas the same time do

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

the role of a prophet or a messenger of God and the prophet

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

or a messenger of God. He has to listen to the people, he has to

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

solve their disputes, when there is a dispute.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

He has to mix around with the people

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

solving their problems, etc. In all of these situations, it will

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

not be appropriate for a woman to do this. Because in Islam, it is

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

clearly prohibited the intermingling of the opposite

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

gender, and the prophet or the messenger, he has to talk with the

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

people communicate with the people convey the message of Islam to the

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

non Muslims, if they have any problem, if they have any

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

questions, respond to their questions, etc. And one of the

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

roles of the prophet or the messenger of God is to lead the

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

people in prayer.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

And there are various positions that we do in the prayer for

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

example, the Roku, the sudo, etc, the bowing, the prostration, etc.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

And all of these positions if the woman she is an Imam, she is the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

leader is to distract the people behind the macdaddy the people who

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

are offering Salah behind the Imam to distract them if the woman is

00:02:50 --> 00:02:55

the Imam. That is the reason slam a woman cannot lead the men in

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

prayer.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

So that's the reason there are certain responsibilities for the

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

woman and Islam. There are certain responsibilities for the men

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

and many times the woman she can get emotionally carried away if

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

there is a dispute, so she may emotionally get carried away.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

And besides this,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

I would like to give you an example.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

If a robber enters the house, it is Allah subhanaw taala who has

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

given the man most strength, it is a man who will go and fight.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

A person cannot say that I believe in equal rights. Let the woman go

00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

and fight. Each person has his own responsibilities. Similarly, Allah

00:03:41 --> 00:03:48

subhanaw taala has given a lot of honor to the woman when she's a

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

mother. And there are various Hadith talking about the

00:03:51 --> 00:03:56

importance of motherhood and Islam. A man cannot say that I

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

want to become a mother so that I can get the reward of a mother,

00:04:00 --> 00:04:04

but that should know each person has their own responsibility.
