Misconceptions
About Islam
By. Asma Basheer
Why is a man
allowed to have
more than one wife
in Islam?
Marry women of your
choice, two, or three, or four;
but if ye fear that ye shall not
be able to deal justly (with
them), then only one.”
“

[Al-Qur’an 4:3]
Does Islam
encourage polygamy?
Islam merely allows it, but
does not encourage it.
He must achieve a perfect
balance between his
wives
Same time…

Same
accomodation

Same financial
support
But the question remains, even
after these restrictions and
conditions,

why does Islam allow men
to marry more than one
woman?
1. Islam recognizes that
men have a stronger
drive to have multiple
partners than women
3.affairs do happen, though
they happen secretly
Islam regards polygamy as
being preferable to adultery.
,

Polygamy protects the
rights of women by
giving them the full rights
of a wife. Instead of being
a secret "mistress"
involved in an affair with
a man
2.men will want to have children
that the wife is not able to have
children.
4... Another situation to
consider is a man whose
wife becomes seriously ill
to grant a divorced
woman an honourable
status in the society.

This helped in
solving the problem
of providing care and
protection to widows
and their children in
peace
Why is the eating of pork
forbidden in Islam?
Why does Islam degrade
women by keeping them
behind the veil?
O Prophet, tell your wives
and your daughters and the
women of the believers to
bring down over themselves
[part] of their outer
garments. That is more
suitable that they will be
known and not be abused.
And Allah is ever Forgiving
and Merciful. Al Quran
Whom they will look
and tease?
Hijab prevents molestation
Hijab prevents molestation
Every 2 minutes, someone
in the U.S. is sexually
assaulted

Nearly 90,000
people reported
being raped in
the United
States in 2008.
Sexual Offending in England
and Wales.
Approximately 85,000 women are
raped every year
Over 400,000 women are
sexually assaulted each year
1 in 5 women (aged 16 - 59) has
experienced some form of sexual
violence
Islam the Barbaric Religion?
ROBBERY…Chopping off
the hands as punishment

RAPE…The punishment
thereto is death by
execution.
If the patient has gangrene in his finger….Should
not we chop it off?
Is this barbarism?
Do you call a doctor is barbaric?....no
Same way…..islamic law chops off a hand, it does
so because this hand is criminal. It was chopped
off so that the society would be safe.

when the punishment is harsh, society
remain safe.
. Implementation of Islamic
Shariah will reduce the rate of
rapes
SUPPOSE, GOD FORBID, SOMEONE RAPES YOUR WIFE,
YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR SISTER. YOU ARE MADE THE
JUDGE AND THE RAPIST IS BROUGHT IN
FRONT OF YOU. WHAT PUNISHMENT WOULD YOU GIVE HIM?
ALL OF THEM SAID THEY WOULD
PUT HIM TO DEATH. SOME WENT TO THE EXTENT OF SAYING
THEY WOULD TORTURE HIM TO
DEATH. TO THEM I ASK, IF SOMEONE RAPES YOUR WIFE OR
YOUR MOTHER YOU WANT TO PUT
HIM TO DEATH. BUT IF THE SAME CRIME IS COMMITTED ON
SOMEBODY ELSE’S WIFE OR
DAUGHTER YOU SAY CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS BARBARIC.
if someone rapes your wife or your mother
you want to put him to death.
But if the same crime is committed on
somebody else’s wife or
daughter you say capital punishment is
,

barbaric.
Why should there be double
standards?
Islam and Terrorism
Abu Bakr (the First Caliph)
gave these rules to an
army he was sending to
battle:
Video of innocenc
500, 000 civilians died in
Iraq….
Beautiful Qualities of Prophet Muhammad

He fought only for Allah (The
Glorified and the Exalted)
His gentleness

His forgiveness
His concern for the people
His tender heart
THANK YOU SOO MUCH
FOR GIVING YOUR
PRECIOUS TIME
