Women Give Up Trying To Do It All

[Mary Carol]

January 3, 2004

WOMEN trying to be superwomen might think twice about returning to work.

The demise of Superwoman is at hand, according to a study.

The have-it-all dream of combining a high-flying career with being a perfect mother, wife and homemaker has been found to be unachievable, according to consumer analysts Datamonitor.

Women now have a more realistic attitude to career and home, it says, taking pressure off themselves in every department.

It claims the lead is being taken by power-suited career women.

Women initiate 80 per cent of break-ups and are leaving corporate America at twice the rate of men.

Around here the hardy females are called shecans. She can cut down the trees, she can cut into lenghts, she can split it, she can stack it and she can haul it in to the woodstove. Not much left for us to do...

Hmmm, I don't believe I'll give the shecan any cannon fodder, besides she wouldn't want to thump the cook of the house. Originally posted by rajii

I also forgot to mention that the 2 dozen roses for about $17 from Costco which I bring home about twice a month help to prevent a good hiding down at the woodshed. Originally posted by rajii

Today people think that women are liberated in the West and that the women's liberation movement began in the 20th century. Actually, the women's liberation movement was not begun by women but was revealed by God to a man in the seventh century by the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him), who is known as the last Prophet of Islam. The Qur'an and the Traditions of the Prophet (Hadith or Sunnah) are the sources from which every Muslim woman derives her rights and duties.

Her position in early Islam was really an exemplary one, one that should be studied and known by every woman as well as every liberationist in the twentieth century--- in America as well as in the Muslim World. The Muslim woman, if she is true to the principles of her religion, has lessons in equality to teach the Westerner, and her descendants in the East have to learn anew the role demanded of them by their religion. Orientalists and Orientals zealous for modernization should cease to put the blame on Islam, a blame which instead deserves to fall on their own ignorance of the faith and on the political and social decline which their nations suffered in the past.

Prophet Muhammad. (P) said:

The most perfect believers are the best in conduct and best of you are those who are best to their wives.

The Muslim Woman's Dress



Islam is flexible and quite easy to implement, while still allowing room for individualism and expression through dress. There are no prohibitions for women's dress on color, cloth, or style so long as they fit basic requirements. Those requirements are:

THE FIRST REQUIREMENT: Extent of Covering

THE SECOND REQUIREMENT: Looseness

THE THIRD REQUIREMENT: Thickness

THE FOURTH REQUIREMENT: Overall Appearance

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): "In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel, humps. Curse them for they are truly cursed." ln another version he added that they "will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it." (13)

This essay provides adequate Quranic references on the topic of Hijab, Purdah and the Muslim Woman's dress code as appointed by Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
