Faith in Him Most

Priest: OK,it's a good one,but I'm here with a lot of more questions about Islam itself,and I hope you have the answers..*looking arrogantly*

Muslim:It'll be my pleasure:)

Priest:Is Your God being fair to Men and Women?

Muslim: Of course!

Priest: If so, Why do women have to cover their head under a veil while men didn't have to?

Muslim: Before I answered it,Let me give you a verse in Your Bible;

But a woman dishonors her head* if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head,for this is the same as shaving her head.Yes,if she refuses to wear a head covering,she should cut off all her hair! But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved,she should wear a covering.*( Corinthians 11: 5-6)

And to answer yours,Let us try to bring ourselves along past the history,in the time of Jahiliyah,didn't women being degraded and dishonored?And as Islam came,it uplifted the status of women around the world by rescuing them with the covering of hijab,in order to save the women's dignity.

Priest: Why can men marry four women but for a woman only one man?Why do Islam encouraged polygamy?

Islam never introduced polygamy,it just set up the limit to it..Notably,before the arrival of Islam,men can marry any number of women whom they like..As what stated in the Quran;

If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two OR three OR four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. ( An-Nisa: 3)

Didn't it tell you that ISLAM encouraged monogamy instead of polygamy?And all the laws are stated to protect the women.I'll give you an example:

According to research;

There are a number of 3 millions more women than men in England,and about 7.8 millions more women than men in The united States.Think,if there is no permissible for polygamy in this world,tell me,what will happen to other women that not yet married? Or can't be married?

Logically,do this mean that Islam restrict on women's freedom or protected them?

Priest: I love to discuss this with you more but unfortunately,I've work to attend urgently,nice to meet you...*and walk away*

Brother Lim: He didn't have any answer for the questions, or maybe he just got confused with all the explanation,huh?*murmured himself*


We all laughed.

We didn't have to be afraid of them because we have the truth!
And as a Muslim, what have we done to spread this religion around the world? Didn't we always heard and read the 3 verses from Surah Al-Asr;

By (the Token of) Time (through the ages),Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.( Al-Asr: 1-3)

Doesn't the phrase give us a huge meaning of Dakwah? To spread the truth around us...

Come Brother and Sisters,like the machinery out there who strive hard to spread their own religion,where are our determination in spreading ours?*self preservation*

Wallahu'alam~
