Outlets from @BBCNews to @SkyNews on #Taliban in #Afghanistan describe how #ShariaLaw curtails #WomensRights

This is *false*.

We present the #Caliph of the #Ahmadiyya #Muslim Community from #JalsaUK 2021 on how the #Shariah of #Islam PROTECTS women's rights

👇THREAD

The Caliph's extraordinary speech from #JalsaUK covering the various aspects of the #Shariah on women's rights can be found in full here:

trueislam.co.uk/articles/women…

Below we will review key aspects he highlighted... /1

From the outset, the #Caliph explained that the current notion of "freedom" increasingly pushed in the West is no more than slavery to one's base desires /2

#WomenOfAfghanistan #afghanistandebate

He highlighted that Islam not only gives women their rights but further warns them from exploitation in the name of "freedom" that would harm them in the long run /3

#WomenOfAfghanistan #WomensRights

In his speech he outlined the many rights Islam provided and continuous to provide women, such as:

⚡️ Mandatory consent in marriage
⚡️ Right to own, earn, inherit and control own wealth
⚡️ Right to divorce
⚡️ Right to education
⚡️ Right to kindness & dignity

+ Many More /4

Let's take some key ones...

1. Consent in Marriage

The #Caliph emphasised the right to #consent and that no woman should ever feel coerced in this regard, quoting from Sahih Bukhari The Book of Marriage, to show that without the woman's consent, the marriage becomes INVALID /5

2. Education

He highlighted education of girls as a key step in the uplift of future generations.

In addition, he emphasised the permission in Islam that a woman should work, reiterating the Islamic position that any money she earns is hers ALONE /6

3. Parental Responsibility

While tribal societies have historically preferred sons, the #Caliph highlighted how in #Islam, a man who raises daughters excellently will be granted paradise by God.

Which other religion raises the status of girls like this? /7

4. Responsibility of Men

The #Caliph further admonished men that without fulfilling the rights of women, they could never please God.

"To please the Almighty Allah, he (a man) must fulfill the rights of women" /8

5. Responsibility of Husbands

A key, important right often overlooked is the right to kindness and dignity. This is mandated in #Islam for women. The #Caliph emphasised, in the words of the Prophet (sa) that the best man is he who is best to his family. /9

6. Kindness in Relationships

Quoting the Quranic statement that "your wives are a garment for you and you are a garment for them" the #Caliph reminded men to treat the women in their lives with warmth and friendship. /10

The above is a *small* selection of the #womensrights the #Caliph covered that Islam mandates. He emphasised that no other religion hints at such teachings.

We call on news outlets and commentators to be aware of what the #Sharia teaches when discussing #AfghanistanCrisis /11
