(Harun Yahya)
In the Qur'an, God constantly calls for women to be watched over
and protected, and imposes on men various responsibilities regarding
the protection of women: However, to interpret this as meaning that
men have power over women either indicates a lack of knowledge or
else an evil-minded or deliberate distortion. According to the Holy
Qur'an, men only watch over women, but do not govern them;
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God
has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because
they support them from their means ... (Surat an-Nisa', 34)
As God reveals, men are charged with protecting and watching
over women. Indeed, the Arabic word "qawwam" in the verse means
"protector" or "guardian."
God has supported women with various material and other rights
