iconSufa 19 - The Female (Al-Untha)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Untha;
2The Female, the Feminine;
3And the seventeenth name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing.
4The nurturer, the conceiver and supporter;
5The half by which all life depends;
6The wise, the intuitive, the more powerful of the sexes.
7All is indeed feminine and masculine.
8To deny such logic is the sign of sickness of the mind.
9The Female is equal in nature and existence;
10Do not curse Allah through your ignorance.
11If Female was less, then life would be unbalanced.
12Nature and existence depends upon the equality of the feminine and masculine.
13The rights of women are sacred.
14See that women are maintained in the rights assigned to them.
15Allah enjoins you to treat women well,
16For they are your mothers, your sisters and aunts.
17Shall I not point out to you the best of virtues?
18It is kindness unto to your daughter even if she return in disgrace.
19Verily, women are the twin halves of men and equal before Allah.
20Thus, any judge that issues a greater penalty to a woman than unto a man,
21Is indeed a poor judge.
22Any village that stone a woman for infidelity, yet merely chastise the man,
23They possess no law.
24If the elders of a village demand harsh penalty,
25Then let both the man and woman be stoned for infidelity.
26Better then to admonish your wives with kindness.
27Allah implores you to treat women well,
28For they are your wife and your daughters.
29Therefore, protect your mother, your wife and your daughters,
30And see that no harm come to them.
31It is the most solemn law of Allah,
32That men refrain from intimate relations with young children and especially young girls.
33Men who respect and defend the honor and life of girls that are not of age,
34Shall be blessed in the afterlife.
35Do not take heed then to the wickedness of the merchants and the false immorality of the Umay-yad,
36That speak against such morality and self responsibility.
37The merchant who possesses no morals in the way of flesh,
38Are an illness that by the law of Allah must be cleaved from the body of the earth.
39The rights of women are sacred.
40It is a grave crime against Allah to prevent women from entering a place to pray.
41Any teacher then who prevents a woman from entering a place for prayer,
42Remove him immediately as an imposter.
43Allah demands equal rights to men and women to honor him.
44Honor your wife with intimate relations and no other.
45Do not associate yourself with the prostitute,
46Nor anyone who would sell their flesh for profit.
47If a man be displeased with his wife,
48He may speak to her but not beat her.
49The merchant and the ignorant Umay-Yad beat their women like donkeys.
50The merchants disrespect women and claim a sacred right to more than one wife,
51They openly mock the law of Allah.
52A true man of faith must not strike his wife,
53Nor take another at the same time.
54To have more than one wife at the same time,
55Is an abomination before Allah.
56Do not listen then to the wicked and vile behavior of the Umay-Yad and merchants.
57It is a grave crime against Allah and Islam,
58To have more than one wife or female companion at the same time.
