Woman centeredness is the essence of feminism
A strange title, what does the centrality of women mean and why is the woman a center and does this mean that everything revolves around her, and if so, what is the issue with women having the required centrality and being the center in society and life and everything is centered and laws are designed specifically for her and distinguished, Isn’t she the mother, sister and wife? Isn’t she half of the society so that she deserves to be the center of one of them asks, in fact, we must establish a principle, which is that man was not created in this universe except to worship God and colonize the earth with obedience and goodness, and the proof of this is the saying “And what created man and jinn except to worship”, and other evidences of this. This is why the Qur’an speaks of the basic and true purpose of our existence in this universe, which is the monotheism of God and singling Him out for worship and submission to Him alone, Almighty and exalted, from here we understand why man was created and what is the main reason for our existence in life and that man is not the center of the universe but is part of this universe, It is true that man is the rational creature among the race of creatures, and God has harnessed the rest of the creatures for him, but this does not mean that the center is centered around him, as in the humanitarian calls, but this means that man carried the trust that other creatures did not dream, as in the words of Almighty God (We offered the trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, and they did not want to carry it and were afraid of it, and man carried it, but he was unaware and ignorant).
Hence, man is the only being who has the freedom to choose between the path of evil and good, and he is the one who is accountable in the hereafter and no one else, so this makes him the being responsible for his actions and is required to work to achieve the purpose for which he was created, which is to populate the earth with good and obedience to God Almighty, as Almighty says: “And I created the jinn and mankind only to worship them,” not to be the center of the universe and focus on rights without duties, so man, in the Qur’anic perspective This is the Qur’anic perspective of man and not the Western atheistic perspective that canceled religion in human life and focused on the essence of man and his pleasure without any responsibilities on him and dived into absolute individualism. This thought began in the nineteenth century AD and after the mid-fifties, feminism began to emerge and advocate for women’s rights.
But it started from a call for women’s rights to make the woman the center and all rights revolve around her without putting any responsibility on the woman, and from here the centrality of the woman was launched, so she was no longer required to serve society and take care of her children, and she walked in the individualistic Western context and strengthened and became the center in the eyes of feminism, instead of society and even religion, so everything became obedient to the woman, so religious texts must be reinterpreted until they are consistent with the feminist concept, and if the text is not absolutely frequent according to the rules of fundamentalism, it can be denied and changed, such as the denial of the texts of obedience to the husband and the denial of most of the texts of the Sunnah, for example This is why you find many feminists under the guise of Islam trying to challenge Sahih Bukhari and Muslim because there are Sunni texts that stand in the way of their corruption, such as the impermissibility of a woman leaving the house without her husband’s permission and other texts, the prohibition of changing God’s creation, and other texts prohibiting tattoos. They challenge the Sunnah, and they try to interpret the Qur’anic text by distorting its meaning, such as the interpretations of the dead Shahrour, who was popular with them, or they try to interpret the inheritance verse and circumvent its meaning.
The answer is that the Sharia came for all and care was that women are the weakest element, so it arranged the responsibility for the man and made the woman subordinate to him and under his responsibility. The Sharia came complete and balanced about this matter, but centralizing women in society means the destruction of societies, their demise and drowning them in corruption, and this happens through calls for women’s independence by allowing them to work in all jobs, without regard for their physical and psychological needs and throwing them into the difficulties of life and facing them without a breadwinner and a family that supports and cares for them as in Western societies, Without regard for her physical and psychological needs and throwing her into the difficulties of life and facing them without a breadwinner to support her and a family that supports and cares for her, as in Western societies, so the girl after reaching puberty is expelled from the house and works in all jobs in which she cannot compete with men, and this makes her even expose her body in order to live and complete her studies and then the call for freedom of the body, she is free in her body to do whatever she wants, and under this title all abominations are legalized from adultery and homosexuality without any Adultery and homosexuality without any consequence, and then it moves on to the freedom of abortion and the killing of fetuses who have no guilt in life except that they were victims of women who embraced feminist thought, and believed that they are the center of the universe and that they have the right to do anything, even if it is cutting a child alive in a brutality that has not been witnessed throughout history, killing fetuses through abortion amounted to millions, and even throwing their children in shelters and abandoning them under the pretext that they want to live their lives in a complete destruction of the meaning of the family.
This is what the idea of the centrality of women causes for more selfishness and brutality in societies and their loss and even the decay of humanity, as is happening in some countries that are facing depopulation due to the policies of individualism, and making the center for the individual, especially women, so the concept of the family is lost and men no longer bear their responsibility because women are the center, and the marital relationship has become destructive as unjust laws under the pretext of protecting women destroy the husband financially, and all this is done under the title of women centrality that is put forward by feminist thought in general under the pretext of protecting women in order to destroy societies that return negatively, as violence figures in the West did not decrease after all laws that were established instead increased, and increased.
The solution to get out of this predicament that humanity has put itself in can only be a return to the instinct that God created in humans that the man is responsible and responsible for the family and the breadwinner, and the woman takes care of the children and cares for the family according to a delicate balance that existed in creation since God created it until the anomaly occurred in recent decades, and Islam has taken into account the social rules of society in a delicate balance and miraculous legislation that guaranteed Islamic societies their life and strength even in their darkest days, and the nation will only return to its strength by returning to its rules and applying its lofty goals of preserving honor and offspring.
