Womens Rights In Islam Part 2 (By Dr Zakir Naik)zakir2012
This document summarizes a question and answer session on the topic of "Women's Rights in Islam - Modernizing or Outdated?". The first question from the audience asks what a woman will receive in paradise, as it is said that a man will receive "hoors" or beautiful maidens. Dr. Zakir Naik responds that "hoor" actually means a spouse or companion without gender, so a woman will receive a good husband and a man a good wife. The second question asks why there are two female witnesses equal to one male witness in Islam. Dr. Naik explains this is only the case for financial transactions and murder, and discusses evidence from the Quran indicating one woman's testimony can

Islam is a religion of peace that means submission to God. Its core beliefs include the oneness of God, believing in all prophets including Muhammad, and following the five pillars of faith. The five pillars are the declaration of faith, daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, paying zakat (charity), and performing the hajj pilgrimage if able. The Quran and hadiths provide guidance for Muslims on how to worship God and live according to His commands in all aspects of life.

The document discusses the position of women in pre-Islamic societies compared to their position under Islamic teachings based on the Quran and hadith. It describes how in many ancient civilizations like India, Greece, and Rome, women were seen as property under the complete control of men with no rights. The Bible also suggested this level of control. However, Islamic teachings established women's equality with men before God and emphasized their spiritual, social, and economic rights, exempting them from some religious duties due to biological differences. This positioned women's rights higher than in previous eras and civilizations.
The document discusses the "Just One Message" conveyed by prophets throughout history - that there is only one God worthy of worship. It presents verses from the Bible and Quran affirming God's oneness. The Old Testament declares God is one Lord, as does Jesus in the New Testament. The Quran strongly rejects associating any partners with God. While Christians claim God is three in one, the document argues this contradicts biblical verses saying no one has seen God. It concludes the oneness of God was the essential message of prophets, and believing in other deities provoked God's anger.
This document provides an overview of Jesus and Christianity from an Islamic perspective. It discusses Jesus' birth to Mary and his eminence according to the Quran. It describes Jesus' miracles of bringing the dead back to life and healing people. The document emphasizes that Muslims believe in previous revelations, including the Torah and Gospel, and that there is only one true religion originally from God.

Islam grants universal human rights that are derived from God, not governments. These inalienable rights include:
1) The right to life and security of person - no one can kill or harm others without justification.
2) The right to dignity and honor - women, children, and all people must be respected and protected from oppression.
3) The right to private life and property - personal freedom and possessions are inviolable without due process.
Islamic law upholds civil rights and limits governmental authority, requiring leaders to respect the people and only exercise power with consent.
1. In Islam, God is strictly monotheistic and unitarian - the one and only God who created the universe and controls everything within it.
2. God has many names that describe different aspects of the divine nature, including the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-living creator and sustainer of the world.
3. While humans cannot fully comprehend God, the Quran provides attributes to help understand God, such as the merciful, compassionate, and forgiving nature of God.
