                       The next section contains rebuttals of the claims made by
                 those who seek evidence from the Qur'an to foolishly restrict and
              debase women.


                         Verses Addressing the Wives of


                                  Our Prophet (pbuh)


                  We now need to make one important point very clear; the
              Qur'an contains verses addressing the wives of our Prophet (pbuh).

              In order to prevent strife and possible misunderstandings, God kept
              the wives of our Prophet (pbuh) separate from other women in his
              time. As it is revealed in the Qur'an:

                  Wives of the Prophet! You are not like other women provided
                  you have piety. Do not be too soft-spoken in your speech lest
                    someone with sickness in his heart becomes desirous. Speak
                       correct and courteous words. Remain in your houses and do
                        not display your beauty as it was previously displayed in
                        the Time of Ignorance. Perform the prayer and pay alms
                        and obey God and His Messenger. God desires to remove
                       all impurity from you, People of the House, and to purify

                              you completely. (Qur'an, 33:32-33)
                                        In these verses, the wives of our Prophet
                                     (pbuh) have separate responsibilities on the
                                      subjects of life-style, speech, clothing and

                                       the like; people looking at these verses
