❞ كتاب Women rights and Islam ❝

يتحدث عن المرأة التي هي نصف المجتمع البشري، والتي ظلمت عبر حقب طويلة من تاريخ الإنسانية، فجاء الإسلام الذي هو منهج الله في الأرض، فكرمها وأعطاها الحقوق التي تليق بإنسانيتها ، كما أنه كلفها بواجبات منوطة بها تؤكد من خلالها رسالتها في الحياة التي خصها الله بها

قال تعالي :

﴿ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً (35)﴾

[سورة الأحزاب]

جاء في القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية آيات وأحاديث تدل على صفات المرأة المسلمة
قال تعالى :{  واذكروا في الكتاب مريم إذ انتبذت من أهلها مكانا شرقيا( 16 ) فاتخذت من دونهم حجابا فأرسلنا لها بشراً سويا( 17 ) قالت إني أعوذ بالرحمن منك إن كنت تقيا( 18 ) قالت أنى يكون لي غلام ولم يمسسني بشر ولم أكن بغيا( 20 ) قال كذلك قال ربك هو علي هين ولنجعله آية للناس ورحمة منا وكان أمرا مقضيا( 21 ) فحملته فانتبذت به مكانا قصيا( 22 ) سورة مريم.

Women rights and Islam
A study of women rights and effects of Islamic fundamentalism and Muslim feminism in
the Kurdish area of Iraq 

Författare: Zaynab Khan
Handledare: Edmé Dominguez

ABSTRACT
Lack of women rights in the international society is something that UN and other international human organizations are striving against. Women oppression is common in many countries, but is often connected with the Muslim countries. Women oppression is something that is against UN: s definition of human rights. The international society has therefore tried to protect the women, and has formed resolutions, conventions and so on, for their security.
According to the Iraqi regime, human rights are an important question. The country has therefore signed the UN: s convention about women rights. Since the year of 1992, when the Kurdish area of Iraq became self- governed, Kurdistan has started programs that favour women rights. Organizations and institutions have for example been established, that are struggling for the women in the society. The ruling government has also instituted some laws that favour women rights.
Islamic fundamentalism and Muslim feminism are two theories that today have supporters in the international society. Both of those theories and their supporters believes in the Quran and use it to justify their own actions, but in different ways. The fundamentalists emphasize the differences that, by the nature, exist between the sexes. According to the fundamentalists, women and men have different responsibilities in the society. The feminists on the other hand believe in equality between the sexes and mean that women oppression has its origin in an erroneous interpretation of the Quran.
Different kinds of crimes against women rights issues are today common in Kurdistan. Many of those crimes don’t have any support in neither UN, nor the Quran. Muslim feminists, the department for human rights and the women organizations all has agreed about the meaning of women rights. They believe in UN: s definition of women rights and they all use the Quran to justify women right issues. Islamic fundamentalists on the other hand also use the Quran for justifying their actions, but they don’t believe in UN: s definition of women rights.
