World history is full of gender discrimination throughout the ages. When we look back centuries, we see that even the philosophers, who were known as the most progressive people of their time, broke away from their thoughts when it came to the issue of gender and defined women as the "other". According to Aristotle, the soul is dominant over the body, the mind is dominant over emotion, and man is dominant over woman. But has there been no change or progress in the centuries since those times? The strong tend to oppress the weak, the older brother oppresses the younger brother, the boss oppresses the worker, the man oppresses the woman...
Undoubtedly, if women were stronger than men, I'm sure women would beat men and keep them under pressure. We see examples of this, albeit few, in the written and visual media. I think this is just a problem of being a human being, not a man or a woman. So, is there a solution to this problem? Has what has been done so far brought an end to this inequality? Of course not!
When we look at societies, we see that the source of abuse, especially against women, is shown as "religion". Apart from monotheistic religions, women are also excluded in polytheistic religions. A woman doesn't walk like that, a woman doesn't dress like that, doesn't talk like that, etc. Is that really how God wants a woman? Does God want a world where the strong oppress and despise the weak? Do women have value in God's eyes? What is this God's woman problem?
Of course, it is wrong to evaluate God by what people do. God loves us. When I look at the holy books, I understand from his sentences that he loves us. God cares about us women, both in the Torah, the Bible and the Quran. In the Bible, God said, "Man is two parts of one whole. Man is valuable only as man or woman. Man is equal, man and woman. Woman was created from man, and man was born from woman." he is writing. In the Bible, women are precious in God's eyes. The value of women comes from the value of their creator.
When we look at the religion of Islam, in the Qur'an's understanding of women; Even though men and women have different characteristics, it is important for them to be seen as equal in terms of being human. creation Although women are equal to men, they also have some rights and responsibilities specific to them. There is no difference between men and women regarding orders and prohibitions. Men and women are equal in the sight of God; The superiority of one over the other is related to the work they do, the appropriate use of the opportunities given to them and, in short, "Piety". He explains this very well in the Surah at-Tin: "We created man in the most beautiful form, without discrimination" and emphasizes that God created humans from a man and a woman, made them descendants and descendants, and the nation was formed from them. (See Surah Hujurat of the Quran) Apart from these verses, even the addresses "O people!, O you who believe, believers" at the beginning of the suras are evidence that there is no distinction between men and women. Privileged people of the Islamic religion are people who are sensitive in study, science, doing good deeds, protecting people's rights and avoiding evil. For example, the importance of knowing is emphasized with the verse "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" (Surah Az-Zumar, 9). The first verse revealed, in which knowing is related to reading, says "Read!" It was revealed in the beginning with . There is no discrimination between men and women in this order. The addressee is human. There are many hadiths that support these. “Knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim, male and female.” This emphasis is clear. Regarding work, "A person is only rewarded for what he works for." (Sura An-Najim, 39) Both men and women are included in the scope of the verse.
In short, Islam's understanding of women is revealed as follows: “… According to Islam, women; She is provided with alimony, she is not obliged to work, she has many rights such as educating her children as she wishes, working if she wishes, being able to dispose of her property as she wishes, being able to use her own surname, and doing science. In the face of all these rights, she is only responsible for obeying her husband in her legitimate wishes, her rights and responsibilities are subject to the law. She is her husband's life partner-confidant-heartfelt, who is under the guarantee of her husband, the caretaker of the home, and the beloved mother of her children, under whose feet "heaven lies"..." (A. Ünal, page, 201). God has nothing to do with women ktur. At best, we have things we can't give or take with each other. However, he always says, “Love each other.” Since we all accept the existence of monotheistic religions. So we believe in Him alone. No matter who we are, whether Christian, Jew or Muslim, we must first read our own holy book. Let's believe in what we see, hear and understand, not in external superstitions. The way of mind is one!
I finish my words with the verses of the great poet Ruhi Su:
The Creator created us as human beings
Love for humans, love for souls
The sentence is above all creatures. He kept it,
Love for people, love for souls.
How fortunate we are to have become humans,
We know human love as real,
p>
We bloomed on the human branch and laughed,
The conversation is for humans, for those who are human.
Let the human being come here
Some Black, some steal yellow,
What matters is life, don't look at the skin,
Love for people, love for life.....
