They keep saying Islam is feminist, empower women, and came to replace Jahiliah (ignorance) of pre-Islam. Is this true? What do we know about women rights before Islam? Despite all attempts to distort history, Islamic sources get busted as liars when any decent person examines the life story of Khadijah – Muhammad’s first wife.
Khadijah was an independent business woman, she was the richest of Quraishi tribes, she had the largest convoy of camel who traded with Palestine and Syria, had married two men before Muhammad, she choose her own husbands, in fact she choose Muhammad who was HER OWN EMPLOYEE! When her husbands died, she inherited every penny.She did not need a guardian but Muhammad did require a guardian for himself to marry her!!!
Muhammad never dared to marry on her while she was alive. What Muhammad did after he took control? Women to stay at home, cover from head to toe, not allowed to engage in business on their own, have to ask male guardian to get married, get least inheritance, subordinate to men… Demolition of Women’s rights. But we need to buy the story that the pagans of Arabia buried baby girls alive… We, in Islam, bury them for life….Hamdullah.

So, anyone who tells you Islam is feminist, just run by them these verses and see them squirm:
Sahih al-Bukhari 2658
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?” The women said, “Yes.” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.”
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2658
And what happens if she does not listen? Husbands may hit their wives if they merely fear arrogance:
The Qur’an in Surah 4:34 says:
….. Those from whom you fear arrogance, admonish them and desert them in the bed and beat them. Then, if they obey you, do not look for any way against them. Allah is High, Great.
A husband has sex with his wife, as a plow goes into a field.
The Qur’an in Surah 2:223 says:
Women are your planting place (for children); come then to your planting place as you please and forward (good deeds) ….
Still want to claim Islam is feminist? Stop being ridiculous!!
