A look at the role of women yesterday and today

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, they want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will complete His light, even if the unbelievers hate it.

Since the dawn of Islam, the enemies have been incessant about this blessed religion and their scheming and plotting to discredit the one who shattered the thrones of tyrants and equalized between the slave and his master by what God honored the sons of Adam and preferred some of them over others and faith in the degrees of piety.

The series of hostility and malice towards Muslims continued and increased with the emergence of Zionist organizations, which took control of the headquarters of major countries, and since the Middle East (i.e. the region that includes the Arab and Islamic countries) includes the largest part of the Muslims in the world and contains what God has endowed in its lands, the most important of which is petroleum. Muslims in the world, and it also contains what God has blessed with bounties and treasures hidden in its lands, the most important of which is oil, so the tendency of the major countries with wide influence was to work to extend their hegemony over the peoples of the region and to benefit from the bounties in it. On the one hand, they seize these bounties as raw materials, which they manufacture with the factories and bounties they own, and return them as ready-made manufactured materials to sell them to the people of these regions, so that they have abundant profit, and the inhabitants of the lands with bounties lose and backwardness, and colonialism has worked to prevent the development of these countries to ensure its industrial and technological superiority and to show before the peoples of the region that only the Western countries possess development, scientific expertise and superiority in everything and that the rest of the peoples are submissive to them." Western missionary organizations have worked to concentrate these meanings in the hearts of the children of the East until a generation emerged that feels that all the study, science and literature he has is the virtues and generosity of the Western countries on him until society reached a point where he feels indebted to Western civilization in everything he eats, dresses, sleeps, studies and medicine ... And if there is talk about good morals, we find the answer that it is among the Western peoples, they do not know lies, do not know hypocrisy or betrayal, and are keen to fulfill the covenant and promise ... If we talk about good morals, we find the answer that it is among the Western peoples who represent Islam, and that Arabs and Muslims do not represent any of it! Through secular obsolescence and technological development, the colonial countries were able to extend their influence and control over the peoples of the third world and were at the same time very keen to instill a spirit of love and loyalty to the West in the souls of the Easterners because with this love they ensure that they do not object to their policies or challenge the method of domination and absorption of wealth, but what happened These countries, such as Britain, France and Germany (they were distinguished countries at the beginning of the twentieth century), clearly showed their colonialist and authoritarian approach to the Arab and Islamic countries, dominating the wealth of those countries and planting the malicious tree of Zionism in the heart of the Arab world, so there were plans for a conscious rejection of this authoritarian policy, namely the line of Islam, which was represented by the fatwas of conscious clerics. Represented by the fatwas of conscious clerics who were exposing these plans disguised in different curtains, the appearance of which is elegant, beautiful and desirable, and its interior is malicious, corrupt and rejected, and I convey to you this incident that happened to us in Iraq after the immortal twentieth revolution, which taught British colonialism a harsh lesson that made it recalculate its accounts and program its policies and approach in another new way. The summary of this story is that Britain sent a representative to visit the religious authority in Najaf, and at that time it was Mr. Abu al-Hussein al-Isfahani, so (Nuri al-Saeed), the Prime Minister at the time, sent Mr. al-Isfahani to agree to meet the British ambassador for a few minutes and insisted on it, and in front of this insistence, the great reference meditated, and after a while he said no. He summarized the families of the story with this situation that I want to explain ... The British ambassador and the delegate from the British government entered with Nuri al-Saeed, they kissed the hand of the great master and presented the greetings of the British government and said: Britain in the Second World War vowed that if it defeated Germany, it would provide financial aid to the temples and senior religious scholars in the whole world in thanks to God for the blessing of victory over the enemy, and now that Britain won the war, we came to present to the leaders of the major religions in the world what we vowed, we went to the Pope in the Vatican and presented him with the vowed grant and now we came to your Eminence in Najaf to provide you with assistance.

Forgiven ! !

Mr. Isfahani pondered for a moment and said, "I don't mind.

The British representative hurriedly took out the check and wrote 100,000 Iraqi dinars, which is not a small amount for that time ... (Here the position of the authentic Shiite reference was evident) The master took the check and read it, then wrote a transfer of one hundred thousand Iraqi dinars, which he presented with the check to the British delegate, saying: "This is two hundred thousand dinars from us to help the families of the Muslim soldiers who were recruited by Britain from India and killed in the Iraq war, so please deliver it and spend it on them in India! Here the members of the delegation bowed their heads and then rose to say goodbye. When they left, Nuri al-Saeed returned quickly and kissed Mr. Isfahani's hand with longing and pleasure, saying to him: He added: "Do you know what the delegate said after we left your place?" He said, "Churchill should resign from his post and sit in his place this great gentleman." We want to colonize Islam and we have lost sight of the fact that this great gentleman, with his knowledge, knowledge, reason and management, has made Britain a colony of Islam.

Colonialism has returned again to gnaw at the body of Islamic countries, especially the Middle East, but with new methods far from wars, but in the long run they have much more dangerous results than war and seizure of lands, so there was the birth of new ideas that we call today cultural invasion in order to strike Islam and the teachings of Islam and make Muslims have nothing from Islam except belonging by nationality, as expressed by that, that is, just a husk and appearance without content and application. The focus was directed towards two segments of society, the first was women because of their effective role in building and reforming society or corrupting it, and the second was the youth, an active force in taking and applying the rapid implementation, and this was done in the following ways: Focusing on the role of women through : _

1. Advocating for equality between women and men

2: Advocating for women's liberation and leaving the home

3 - Focusing on the grievances of Muslim women and preparing them to revolt against all religious and social values that limit their freedom and deny them their rights

4- Preoccupation with fashion, whether it is in hairstyling or preoccupation with different seasonal models, party clothes, nail polish, nail extensions, etc. Etc. 5 - Opening salons for fitness, beauty and skin care.

6) Dragging them into political work and introducing destructive ideas to be the alternative culture to the divine.

The focus is on youth:

1. Advocating for the mixing of the sexes in schools at different stages of study, but this was unsuccessful for middle and high school because society did not accept this and categorically rejected it

2 - Opening clubs for playing games and swimming and making them mixed-gender.

3 - Wearing gold for males, whether on the wrist or neck

4 - Paying attention to the haircut every once in a while, likening it to a French actor, English singer, or foreign actress. And interest in imitating what they wear.

5 - Introducing and promoting drugs and alcohol as a state of civilization

6) Focusing on the fact that religion is something historical and outdated that does not fit the new state of civilization, and whoever remains attached to it is a reactionary person who does not believe in development and civilization.

7 - Spreading alien ideas as an alternative to religion because man, by his nature and nature, cannot live without a belief based on it, and therefore the various parties founded by the infidel West, which originally do not believe in monotheism and a sound divine approach, and these materialistic parties were able to tear the society apart and the one house became composed of brothers warring among themselves.

8 - Working hard to separate religion from politics and keep youth away from politics that guarantees the country's sovereignty and preserves its interests and focuses on the individual's interest and benefit.

9 - Focusing on the individual's sense of belonging to Western or Oriental thought as new civilized ideas that suit the new life that young people live.

0A - Encouraging educated youth to travel to Western countries to complete their studies and facilitate their living conditions so that they do not think of returning to their homelands, and what happens is that most of them marry foreign women who are far from Islamic values and morals. The cultural invasion has focused on introducing new vocabulary that has been passed on by intellectuals and media professionals, including the word

(It was the first invitation to drive a wedge of enmity between Arabs and other Arabs and other foreign Muslims, as each took fanaticism for his nationality and considered it the best, and thus for successive years there was no longer any mention of the blessed verse { O people, we created you from a male and a female and made you peoples and tribes to know that the most honorable among you is your piety in the sight of Allah, and He is an expert. The nationalism is a step towards taking off the garment of Islam and resorting to other vocabulary such as the tribe and the clan, and so the jahiliyya has returned from a new garment contaminated with new ideas, but they are dressed and civilizations alien to Islam, and therefore the jahiliyya of the twentieth century was much more dangerous than the first Arab jahiliyya.

In this article, I would like to focus on the role of women, how they were, what happened to them, and how they are now.

In the midst of a society in which the hands of colonialism had entered to tamper with its ideas, capabilities and even morals, there was a wide gap between religious scholars and human society (according to my limited opinion). There was no follow-up on the part of religious scholars to what happens within society except in the main issues of worship, transactions, tradition and others, and there was no voice of preaching and religious guidance except in a very limited scope through prayer, which was limited to the male element only and the lack of places to establish congregational prayer for women, and because the role of women has a direct impact on the home and raising the generation, we find through the cultural invasion, the colonialists were able to enter even inside the homes of the scholars. Colonization was able to enter even inside the homes of scholars, so there were young men who entered the university from an ancient religious family carrying the ideas of the elephant and there are girls who come to the university from a very conservative society that forces her to wear the abaya and bushy (face cover), but she is naked in the university as Beirut cafes witness to many very conservative families inside Iraq, but their women sit on drink tables in cafes and so there were concepts that began to float like butter floats. On the surface of the water you say:

This idea grew until the completion of the study and obtaining a higher degree became the hope of every girl and even the hope of every mother who finds in her daughter the realization of her own dreams.

2) Women should have equal rights to men after they obtain a degree and a job. They have the right to drive a car, obtain study fellowships outside the country, and even have the right to a ministerial position and the like.

3 - And when obtaining these ranks, the headscarf should not be an obstacle in front of her, so the headscarf was the symbol of returning women backwards and not progressing until I called (reactionary) on every girl or woman who wears the abaya who goes to school with the abaya on her head (in compliance with the social situation) feels inside her that she is not respected and rejected by other advanced girls.

4 - The occurrence of many disputes between spouses over material and alimony, as the wife receives a monthly salary as well as her husband.

5 - The love of appearance and the race to earn money, ostentation and the love of multiplication. For example, the Husseinian councils were a field to highlight the ability of the companions of the house to provide what fulfills their love of appearance, such as distributing food and expensive things or wearing fancy clothes or wearing gold jewelry. . As for wearing black, it was the thing that the loyal person offers and sees a lot of giving in it because there are others who do not consider it important, thus stripping the Husseini councils of the element of guidance, preaching and spiritual giving.

6: The emergence of a general attitude in society that it's all about the heart! If the heart is good, there is no need to pray or fast. If the heart is good, there is no need for prayer or fasting, and these sentences began to repeat on the tongue of everyone who opens a door for discussion, even if it is on a simple and superficial level, and from these ideas is not the hijab, it is important that the girl is honorable and maintains her reputation, and what (the benefit of fasting and prayer while stealing or lying), the importance of a clean heart does not attack anyone or speak against anyone, even if he drinks the intoxicating drink of the drink.

How can a girl maintain her honor and reputation while walking in a dress that makes her semi-naked and vulgar, exposing her to a lot of harassment from lost youth? How can a person steal while he considers the rulings of God and stands between the hands of God to pray five times a day, and how can a person's heart be clean and not attack anyone while he has lost his mind by drinking the forbidden drink, and despite the existence of these contradictions, the foam was overwhelming until the woman committed to wearing the abaya became humiliated and not respected, and religion has no place in the heart and has no concept in the mind, and the girl who submits in her veil to the social situation in her family's surroundings. This led some girls to rebel against the desire of parents and family as a result of their lack of confidence in her behavior outside the home, and the girl became looking forward to the boy of her dreams, her future husband, until he proposes to her to take off the cloak from her head, and then there is no objection from the parents to this behavior as long as her husband agrees.

Colonialism was able to achieve what it sought to marginalize the religious factor in society and limit it to mere customs and rituals, most of which have a social and not legal character until superstitions and dream stories became an important and influential role in the souls, especially in the female environment, and had it not been for the divine support that always comes to bring the Muslim man out of the darkness of ignorance and follow the footsteps of the devil, by the appearance of God's faithful soldiers on the Iraqi scene, the most prominent of which were the happy martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and his pure Alawite sister Bint al-Huda and the brightness of Bint al-Huda's light even for limited years and few years. But she was able, with God's grace and help, to lift the blindness from the eyes and move the authentic Iraqi woman to where the light and the clear path after the colonization worked hard to bring her to the depth of the abyss, Bint Al-Huda came like a nymph from heaven carrying on her shoulders the worries of daughters, mother and wife while looking with the eye of insight to those who were the cause of creating those worries and calamities, she wore her cloak and covered her face and began her ambassadorship between Najaf, Kadhimiya, Karada and other areas in Baghdad sitting among women and talking to them in various issues and concerns and showing them successful solutions. The daughter of Al-Huda had an attractive personality and a light that enters the heart that no girl or woman who sits with her can not but relate to her and seek her, and her words entered the heart without permission because they are sincere words that came out of a heart that is in fact the sanctuary of God, as for her smile that used to smile on her lips when she spoke. The smile that used to smile on her lips when she spoke reveals her great understanding and heartfelt sympathy for those who talked to her and revealed her private secrets to her, knowing that she is talking to a party that covers her and at the same time rescues her from all the surrounding worries, the pure Alawiya used to wait for opportunities and occasions in the women's environment, whether Whether it was a mourning funeral, birthdays, marriage parties and others, where she spread the teachings of the beloved religion and clarify the culture of Islam. She also had an active and important role in supervising the Zahraa schools in Kadhimiya and in the city of Najaf and nurturing the new generation to draw from blessed sources and the daughter of Al-Huda had a council every month on a specific day. Al-Huda had a council every month on a certain day, the third day of the Gregorian month in the house of one of the believers in Karrada, where she delivers a valuable lecture and answers the questions of the attendees, then holds the Maghrib and Isha prayers in congregation, which had a great impact on the knowledge of prayer and the correct way of performing it].

Bint Al-Huda taught us how to be Muslims in the way that Allah wanted us to be, not as society, the family environment, the puritanical father or the fossilized husband wanted us to be, she taught us how to take the teachings of Islam from the Qur'an and the pure Sunnah and how to adhere to the Shari'ah and Sharia, and only a few years were counted on the fingers that the seventies carried for us with the guidance of the first martyr and the ambassador for this reference, Zainab Al-Asr, until She instilled in us the love of the hijab as a divine command chosen by God to protect and preserve the Muslim woman to achieve the highest degree of human dignity and honor. The important vocabulary she instilled in us was the love of the hijab as a divine command chosen by God to preserve and protect the Muslim woman to achieve the highest degree of human dignity and pride. One of the important vocabulary that Bint Al-Huda planted in the feminine environment is the word (commissioning day) This word was unknown in society, but there was a wave that invaded homes: celebrating the birthday, making a cake, decorating it and giving gifts, which are imported customs, but Bint Al-Huda made the birthday a new taste, as she was encouraging mothers to pay attention to the birthday of the girl when she completed nine years of age and said, "Make this day an occasion . Make this day a special occasion for your daughters so that the girl feels that she has become : A mandated person who has her own personality and role in society and that God Almighty has called her on this day to be one of those who join the ranks of the nation of monotheism, and thus she has established a base from which every girl starts to adhere to the commands of God Almighty. After the criminal tyrannical regime persecuted the believing elements and the schools of Zahra, peace be upon her, the pure Alawiya was keen to make Saturday a special day to receive visiting women in her house in Kadhimiya, so young girls and older women flocked to that house in large groups and the Alawiya Mujahideen after the end of the talk and valuable guidance (establishing the prayer group, which had a great impact on the souls of the visitors). After years spent by Bint Al-Huda with continuous work and strenuous efforts, the hand of the oppressor was on her and her brother, the great reference Hussein Al-Asr [] She took her jihad to an advanced stage as she stood by her heroic mujahid brother who refused to submit to the forces of injustice and the abhorrent Saddamite tyranny and chose the path of martyrdom because he was confident that he was following the path of his grandfather Hussein bin Ali, peace be upon them, and that the blood of the martyrs has the most significant impact on the change in the future more than the present, and it was so as soon as God authorized the fall of the tyranny. The believing hands of women, men, young men and young women did not live the era of the martyr and his pure sister, but they were among those who followed in their footsteps, and they had loved those principles and were faithful to that honorable and pure blood, so the pictures of the martyr and his pure sister rose in every spot on the land of wounded Iraq, announcing the renewal of the covenant and loyalty to proceed on their path and achieve their authentic Muhammadan approach, and the blood of the martyrs has the greatest impact on the change on the level of the future more than the present.

In order to keep pace with the march of the Iraqi Muslim woman, especially the girls who have been blessed by God with the freedom to work for Islam and raise the banner of true truth, I say to my daughters and sisters, mothers, beware of what is being said now in the name of freedom, democracy and women's rights because they are the same slogans raised by colonialism and raised in every time and place because he has nothing but this satanic way, whose appearance is elegant and its interior is malicious, and let our heart, hearing and sight be as Imam al-Hassan, peace be upon him: Let our heart, hearing and sight be as Imam al-Hasan, peace be upon him, said: "The sight of the eyes is that which is used for good, the hearing of the ears is that which understands the reminder and benefits from it, and the heart is that which is pure from suspicion.

The malicious colonial methods aimed at corrupting society and destroying the infrastructure of Muslim society have been exposed, and the Iraqi Muslim women have become aware and understand what is happening on the scene, so today they are looking to activate their important role in human society, as they go out to the political arena and are aware of the role of Zahra, peace be upon her, when she went out to demand the usurped right as well as the role of Zainab, peace be upon her, and the size of the sacrifice needed by this religion and this sect that Iraqi Muslim women must take their positive constructive role in the exercise of their right in elections that every Iraqi individual aspires to who is deprived of this practice throughout the years of his life.

(And say, "Work, and Allah will see your work, and His Messenger and the believers.")

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
