Two Lies of the Enemy

The enemies of Islam make an all-out effort to bring down Islam in two deceitful ways. They lie to the world that Islam fails to recognize and appreciate women, whereas Islam has afforded women such position and honour which no other creed or nation can offer. Islam teaches the parent that the birth of a daughter is mercy. Islam teaches the child that paradise lies under the feet of one’s mother. After Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) received the first revelation, it was his beloved wife, Khadeejah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), who was the first person to bring imaan. Allah Ta‘ala chose a woman to be the commencement of the spread of Islam. If we study history, women were instrumental in the rise and fall of any nation. The disbeliever realizes this and thus continues to make an effort to detach women from Islam. Islam respects women, whereas the world has turned them into slaves of pleasure. Secondly the enemy lies to the world that Islam, under the banner of Jihaad (religious war) spills blood and takes over land, whereas they are the ones guilty of doing this to Muslim lands under the guise of protecting people and fighting terrorism.
