They do this in the hope that it may stem the flow of the numbers of people
becoming Muslim.
Despite their best efforts it only strengthens the position of Islam irrespective of
whichever tactic they deploy.
Despite all of their plotting Allah says about them:
- They intend to put out the Light of Allah (i.e. the religion of Islam, this Qur'an, and
Prophet Muhammad ) with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light even
though the disbelievers hate (it).
[The Rows Verse 8]
We shall refute all of these doubts and misconceptions in this section.
They ask attackingly:
Why does Islam allow for a man to take twice as much as the women in inheritance?
Is this fair and just? Is this not oppression?
In answer to this question we say:
Islam does indeed give the man a double inheritance compared with to a woman
this if because of the following reasons:
A woman is dependent upon her father in her youth and in the absence of her father
her brother takes this responsibility.
Then if the women get married the responsibility and financial burden is on the man
he is the bread winner. The women’s property remains that of her own if she wants
to spend from it on her children or her self it is her choice.
The woman in Islam is taken care of by her guardian.
So even if we find that a woman takes half of that of a man, the half is protected for
her, whereas we find the man always burdened with spending on the family.
So the half that she is inheriting is an honor for her especially when she has no
obligation on spending it and that the women pre-Islam didn’t inherit anything.
Giving the man double the women is absolute justice and fairness as well when you
look at it from the perspective of the man. Islam took into consideration the rights
and the responsibilities when disseminating its rule.
This is a further proof that the teaching of Islam is from a Wise Lord.
They also ask attackingly:
Why is the testimony of two women the same as the testimony of one man?
