- From her human rights:
The right to live; from before she arrives in this world, a baby in her mother’s womb, Islam took care of her rights and banned killing her for God has banned the killing of souls, both of men and women {Nor take life – which God Has made sacred – except for just cause}(Al Isra 33)
And once she is born, Islam banned killing her or burying her alive. {When the female (infant) buried alive, is questioned – for what crime she was killed} (Takwir 8/9)
And ordered for he to be brought up well and promised a great reward for this, such as avoiding the punishment of Hell and the reward of entry to Heaven and being closer to the Apostle (peace be upon him) in there.
The prophet (peace be upon him) said in the hadeeth which has been agreed as truth, from the Hadeeth of Aisha (mother of Muslims) “Whomever is blessed with girls and then does well by them in bringing them up, it will be a protector for him from Hell-fire” (Saheeh Al Targheeb 1968)
And so Muslim says in his recording of the Hadeeth by Anas that God’s prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) said “Whoever looks after 2 girls until they are mature, on the Day of Judgment he and I will be. Then he brought his 2 fingers together” (Saheeh Al Targheeb 1970)
Says Jaaber that the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) said “Whoever has three girls, and gives them a refuge, clothes them, and is kind to them, he will surely be rewarded by Heaven. So one of the men from the land asked him ‘What about 2 girls?’ and he replied “And the same for 2 girls” ( Saheeh Al Adab 58)
And so God made men and women equal in their human pride and so God Almighty says {We have honoured the sons of Adam} (Al Isra 70)
And so He made men and women equal in rewards, both in life and in the after-life, as we have illustrated previously. {Whoever works righteousness, man or woman and has faith, verily, to him We will give a new Life, a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions} (Nahl 97)
{If any do deeds of righteousness – be they male or female – and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them} (Nisaa 124)
As also He gave her the right to express her opinions and to be consulted.
And the day she complained, God heard her complaint from the top of the seven skies, and sent part of the Quran concerning her situation, which is recited until the Day of Judgment. {God has indeed heard (and accepted) the statement of the woman who pleads with thee concerning her husband and carries her complaint (in prayer) to God: and God (always) hears the arguments between both sides among you: for God hears and sees (all things)} (Mujadila 1)
