12) Woman leads Muslims in prayers:
| New
York Daily news published on March 19, 2005  Under armed guard, a woman broke with more than a thousand years of Islamic tradition to lead men and women in a prayer service yesterday in Manhattan. Amina Wadud said she wanted "to remove the artificial and sometimes extremely inconvenient restrictions on the entry and participation of women" in Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the United States. It is rare for a woman to act publicly as the imam, or prayer leader, at a coed gathering of Muslims. In many American mosques, women must use a separate entrance and prayer space. |
One of the reasons that lead some corrupt "Muslims" to kill the messenger Rashad (in 1990, Arizona) was that he allowed men and women to pray together.
As you may know, in the Muslim world, men are separetd from women during the congregational prayers (any prayer during the weekdays can be performed in a group, but on friday , the noon prayer must be congregational).
In this piece of news, Satan strikes again, but this time he shows us the other side of the coin (the coin of idol-worship), the other extreme to separating men and women is to mix them in a distorted manner as we shall see.
In the religion of Submission (the only religion God has sent the messengers with, Abraham was the first to call it "Submission") men are made responsible of the women. Why? are they more intelligent? or more pure ? these questions are the wrong questions, since a "leader" is not better in rank than those whom he is responsible of, it is our distorted perception that makes us think that when God organizes the believers and assigns specific roles to them, that He is prefering some on the others.
However God emphasizes in His Quran that men and women are equal in rights, rewards and punishments, the only thing they are different in is their roles on earth, every ship must have one Captain if it wants to reach its harbor safely, thus God assigned the men and bestowed them with special qualities (which we cannot question) in order to lead the women into the safe harbor, Heaven.
If God didn't inform us with this organization, we would have fought forever about who leads who. Unfortunately some people twist Quran to come up with an order that suits their wishes, for example they say "Quran has mentioned the queen of Sheba" therefore women can lead", well, Quran did mention the queen of Sheba but it was set as an example of a leader leading a country that was not righteous (they were worshipping the sun), moreover when Solomon sent her a message, he asked her to follow him (as the messenger must be followed as a leader) and she finally submitted to his rule.

[27:20] He inspected the birds, and noted: "Why do I not see the hoopoe? Why is he missing? [27:21] "I will punish him severely or sacrifice him, unless he gives me a good excuse." [27:22] He did not wait for long. (The hoopoe) said, "I have news that you do not have. I brought to you from Sheba, some important information. [27:23] "I found a woman ruling them, who is blessed with everything, and possesses a tremendous palace. [27:24] "I found her and her people prostrating before the sun, instead of GOD. The devil has adorned their works in their eyes, and has repulsed them from the path; consequently, they are not guided." [27:25] They should have been prostrating before GOD, the One who manifests all the mysteries in the heavens and the earth, and the One who knows everything you conceal and everything you declare. [27:26] GOD: there is no other god beside Him; the Lord with the great dominion. [27:27] (Solomon) said, "We will see if you told the truth, or if you are a liar. [27:28] "Take this letter from me, give it to them, then watch for their response." Back in Sheba [27:29] She said, "O my advisers, I have received an honorable letter. <>[27:30] "It is from Solomon, and it is, `In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.'[27:31] "Proclaiming: `Do not be arrogant; come to me as submitters.' " [27:32] She said, "O my advisers, counsel me in this matter. I am not deciding anything until you advise me." [27:33] They said, "We possess the power, we possess the fighting skills, and the ultimate command is in your hand. You decide what to do." [27:34] She said, "The kings corrupt any land they invade, and subjugate its dignified people. This is what they usually do. [27:35] "I am sending a gift to them; let us see what the messengers come back with." [27:36] When the hoopoe returned to Solomon (he told him the news), and he responded (to Sheba's people): "Are you giving me money? What GOD has given me is far better than what He has given you. You are the ones to rejoice in such gifts." [27:37] (To the hoopoe, he said,) "Go back to them (and let them know that) we will come to them with forces they cannot imagine. We will evict them, humiliated and debased." Faster Than the Speed of Light [27:38] He said, "O you elders, which of you can bring me her mansion, before they arrive here as submitters?" [27:39] One afrit from the jinns said, "I can bring it to you before you stand up. I am powerful enough to do this." [27:40] The one who possessed knowledge from the book said, "I can bring it to you in the blink of your eye." When he saw it settled in front of him, he said, "This is a blessing from my Lord, whereby He tests me, to show whether I am appreciative or unappreciative. Whoever is appreciative is appreciative for his own good, and if one turns unappreciative, then my Lord is in no need for him, Most Honorable." [27:41] He said, "Remodel her mansion for her. Let us see if she will be guided, or continue with the misguided." [27:42] When she arrived, she was asked, "Does your mansion look like this?" She said, "It seems that this is it." (Solomon said,) "We knew beforehand what she was going to do, and we were already submitters." [27:43] She had been diverted by worshiping idols instead of GOD; she belonged to disbelieving people. [27:44] She was told, "Go inside the palace." When she saw its interior, she thought it was a pool of water, and she (pulled up her dress,) exposing her legs. He said, "This interior is now paved with crystal." She said, "My Lord, I have wronged my soul. I now submit with Solomon to GOD, Lord of the universe." |
Here is the verse that assigns the leadership to the men and not the women, the leadership of all kinds of organizations, whether a family , a community, a country, the contact prayer...etc.
with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners.
The righteous women will cheerfully accept this arrangement, since it is
GOD's commandment, and honor their husbands during their absence.
If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them,
then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed,
then you may (as a last alternative) beat them.
If they obey you, you are not permitted to transgress against them.
GOD is Most High, Supreme.
What Rashad did as the purifying messenger (Malachi 3:1-3, Quran 3:81) was to restore the harmony and the design of God, which Satan distorted. Think about the two extremes (Satan advocates extremes), the first is the practice of the majority of the Mulsims of today , they separate women from men completely, this was the result of following the satanic Hadith unauthorized books instead of Quran (the Hadith books are biased against women), the result of this is that most women in the Muslim countries don't attend the Friday congregational prayer, which role is extremely important in strengthening the ties between the community members, men and women alike.
The second extreme is what we are witnessing in the peace of news above, a woman leading a mixed congragation, where men and women pray together in the same rows, side by side!
Obviously this is not the right arrangement, as it is humiliating and distracting for both men and women to pray in the same rows.Rashad arranged the men in the front rows (as they are the leaders), and the women were given the back rows (to preserve their dignity), such is the perfect balanced arrangement that God has designed, satan wants to distort this design.
Those who are controlled by their Jinn-companions (thus violating the basic design of the human in control of his body/mind and the Jinn subservient) are ofcourse not satisfied with God's design, the feminist movements want to distort it, hiding behind false slogans like "equality of men and women", what they want is men to be women and women to be men.
I will command them to (forbid the eating of certain meats by)
marking the ears of livestock, and
I will command them to distort the creation of GOD.
" Anyone who accepts the devil as a lord,
instead of GOD, has incurred a profound loss.
