Women’s Rights

!

Islam suppresses women and strips away their rights.

✓

Islamic Response:

Islam ended female infanticide and granted inheritance, property, education, and consent rights long before other civilizations.

  • Quran 4:7 — daughters receive a share of inheritance.
  • Quran 33:35 — spiritual equality of men and women.
⚖

Biblical / Talmudic comparison:

  1. New Testament: 1 Tim 2:12 forbids women to teach or hold authority.
  2. Old Testament: Ex 21:7 allows selling a daughter; Numbers 30 nullifies vows.

Which scripture truly oppresses women: the one granting legal personhood or the one thanking for not being a woman?
