Part II: Islam’s Legislation Regarding Woman’s Work

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Legislation in Islam is derived from the fixed sources of Quran and Sunnah. To decide the legislation of the issue of the working woman, one must return to these sources. Women working in public are generally and specifically permitted as long it is within the limits of the legislation found in the Quran and Sunnah. While in Islam it is maintained that the basic and fundamental role of the woman in Islam is in the home, fulfilling her duty as a wife and a mother. These duties and responsibilities require time and effort as being the primary responsibility of the woman.

O officers of Pakistan's armed forces! As for America, her economy is collapsing around her ears, yet America is afraid that her defeat in Afghanistan, known as the "graveyard of empires," would spell doom

Muslims do not need freedom of speech, they have enjoining the good and forbidding the evil

Whenever Muslims engage themselves in a debate with non Muslim journalists and media outlets on free Speech, the conversation ends up with the Muslims being told that the only reason they are able to speak is because of the freedom of speech they are entitled to in democracies and that this is the reason they can be critical and disagree in the west. This whole argument is based upon a premise which assumes that the reason Muslims speak out against the injustices which they see around the world is because that they have the freedom to do so and for this reason Muslims should be grateful. This could not be further from the truth! The fact of the matter is that even before the birth of the concept of free speech in the west, Islam had given Muslims a concept more precious and worthwhile then free speech, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. Islam made an obligation upon Muslims to enjoin the good and to forbid the evil no matter where they lived and how big or small the goo
