the subject of women. Using fabricated hadiths and supersti-
tious practices, as well as various customs and traditions
referred to as "rules" that actually have no place in Islam as a shield,

they have tried to give the impression that a woman is a second class,
despised, repulsive and dangerous entity prone to leading people
into sin.

In the above false hadith, for instance, a woman is described as
being predisposed to immorality, unable to control herself, weak-
willed, unreliable in faith and prone to devilish promptings. That is
the reason for all the talk of women being allowed out as little as pos-

sible, being kept under supervision and having a strong tendency to
immorality in the event that they do go out, thus giving the idea that
their every action needs to be monitored.

Yet it is perfectly clear that these fabricated words were never
spoken by our Prophet (pbuh). It is the fanatics, with their deep enmi-
ty towards women, who spout fatuous falsehoods and ascribe them
to our Prophet (pbuh), who in point of fact entrusted his life to

women in battle, set aside space for women in assemblies and who
felt a profound love and respect for them. In the time of our Prophet
(pbuh), as we have already seen in detail, women took their place in
battle, were present in all kinds of social environments, engaged in
business and were among the leading preachers of the faith. The vers-
es of the Qur'an contain not the slightest suggestion that women are

too dangerous or inherently foolish to be allowed out of doors; on the
contrary, in the Qur'an God reveals the psychopathic nature of the
fanatic attitude to women and how that mentality engaged in
fiendish activities in the time of our Prophet (pbuh):

When any of them is given the good news of the very thing which
he himself has ascribed to the All-Merciful [i.e. of a baby girl] his
face darkens and he is furious. (Qur'an, 43:17)
