The Dark Danger

female and male companions enjoyed equal responsibility in the
instruction of people who had newly come to Islam, in the establish-

ment of social order and even in war. The kindness, love, warmth
and goodness that our Prophet (pbuh) showed his wives are the
finest model for the whole world. It is clear that our lovely Prophet
(pbuh), who ran races with his wives, who bent down to help them
climb up onto the backs of donkeys, who praised the superiority of

women at every opportunity and who rested his head on his wife's
shoulder while watching entertainment, would never permit the
dreadful practices of the fanatics. There is also no doubt that by cast-
ing doubt on the Companions by fabricating false hadiths in the
name of the Messenger of God (pbuh), the fanatics are slandering
both him and the Companions and are assuming a heavy responsi-

bility on themselves.

The reason why women in the religion of the fanatics are so dif-
ferent to women described in the Qur'an will immediately become
apparent when we examine some fabricated hadiths. A clear and
definitive response to each fabricated hadith is also provided from
the Qur'an.
