As I think about the status women have in Islam one word comes to mind: Princess! (in a non spoiled matter lol)
A Princess and Prince can only exist if the rules of the King are truly followed!
Allah is the King!
Yup, because if you got the real Muslim men taking care of you
(Dad, and inshallah husband) you will be treated as a Princess!
A Princess Does Not Have To Work!-Financial
As I think about women who have to work to earn money, I think of how Islam has made it an obligation upon men to take care of thier women financially...does this not sound like a Princess status? Im on that on princess status humdallah, I work because I want to help , but my father knows that he must always provide me with what I need because he understood Islam. This does not mean Muslim women are spoiled and must take all of thier families money! Allah has put limits, and the man should only spend of what he can afford,
“Let the rich man spend according to his means; and the man whose resources are
restricted, let him spend according to what Allaah has given him” Holy Quran 65:7
We get money at the very start!- Mahr
Some women complain about men who make the women pay for the first date, Islam expects men to pay for everything from day one! This all begins with the very first gift the man must give his princess, its called the Mahr-dowry
“And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal-money
given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart” -Holy Quran 4:4
A Real Princess Doesnt Give Men the Chance To Disrespect her!-Hijab
My princess status doesnt stop at wealth, it goes beyond, the Mulsim men in my life have another obligation, they must respect me and treat me as something special and pure, and that is why they should love to see me in hijab. The hijab should be seen as a beauty to them because they see a princess wrapped all up waiting for her prince charming to come and treat her like a wife not another girl to mess with,
or someone just to play around with!
Think about it, did you ever see a Princess who finds it okay with "getting hit on?" does she not expect men to treat her with status, respect and dignity?
Only A Princess has secuirty guards!-Prince Protection
When a Princess goes out, does she not have some type of security guard guarding her?Men in Islam are seen as the security guards of women! I dont see this as degrading to women, but I see this as an honor!
“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of
them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their
means” Holy Quran 4:34
A Whole Chapter in the Holy Quran For Her!-Surat Al-Nisa
What other book dedicates a whole chapter of verses about women?
The Holy Quran has a chapter titled "The Women" AlNisa! 176 verses long
A Whole Paragraph For The Princess! -Prophets Last Sermon!!
Only the Prophet Muhmad, included the improtance of treating women like a princess in his last sermon...a whole paragraph dedicated to us!!
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with
regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have
taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If
they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in
kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your
partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make
friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be
unchaste.
