Ramadan

Beware! It's a wrong turn.

Mariam Elsafty, freshman.

As Ramadan is approaching, I really wanted my This marriage represented a very great case,
next article to be about something so great, and of which is marrying a woman older, independent,
course, Prophet Muhammad is the greatest. I know and who also was brave enough to ask the
that we somehow know how the prophet was very prophet to marry her. Prophet Muhammad didn’t
gentle towards every living creature, we also know feel attacked because she was richer or
how kind he treated women of his era, and also he
asked men to take a very good care of them till independent, but he carried a great amount of
doomsday. I don’t want you, dear reader, to feel like respect towards this great woman, and he loved
that’s something you used to read in your religion her till his death. And with this great example, I
book at school, but I want to remind those who want to remind those who have forgotten, that it’s
forgot of how the prophet treated women. Not only fine to encourage your mother, sister, daughter, or
to change a lot of wrong perspectives we tend to wife to work and know her passion in life, and also
carry in the bag of our closed minds, but also to shut to respect your female coworkers all the time and
the mouths of those who claim that Islam promotes at any place. Khadija was a great example of how
violence, especially the incident of the French
teacher who drew cartoons insulting the prophet and can a woman stand by herself in a cruel world and
those who supported what he did and defended him still manage to win. She was a divorced woman,
in a way or another, and surprisingly, some Muslims yet her father didn’t force her to stay at home
defended the teacher saying that it was his right of because she was divorced as people these days see,
freedom of speech, which is nothing but weirdness. I but he let her live the life she wanted. Remember
won’t lie but I actually see it’s a great chance for me that nowadays, girls are studying at schools and
to defend the gentle prophet Muhammad, and also to getting prepared for the work life in colleges,
remind some fellow Muslims of how women should remember to trust their abilities to win with
be treated. If we think about it, prophet
Muhammad’s first wife, Khadija, was such a pleasure and give them the freedom to enjoy how
successful woman that time, she dealt with men and brilliant they are. Look around yourself and you
she had the courage to give meaning to her life will see how much women have affected the whole
regardless what society might think of her, as people world, and if you still can’t see their achievements
that era were not used to seeing women as and think their place is in the kitchen, you must see
merchants. a doctor.
