Women In Islam

The Hijab and The Mus­lim Woman

Mazuin Osman -
The Islam­ic revival sym­bol­ized by the cur­rent resur­gence of the hijab is often con­sid­ered as an attempt of Arab Mus­lims to restore their pride and iden­ti­ty which have been repeat­ed­ly under­mined by col­o­niza­tion and eco­nom­ic retar­da­tion. Man has always had a con­ser­v­a­tive ten­den­cy and reacts against which is new and unfa­mil­iar with­out real­iz­ing whether it is good or bad for him. Some peo­ple still think the Mus­lim women insist on wear­ing hijab which is the ​“very sym­bol of the oppressed sit­u­a­tion because they are enslaved by the tra­di­tion and are not suf­fi­cient­ly aware of their lam­en­ta­ble sit­u­a­tion. ​“If only”, they prob­a­bly think, ​“the move­ment of the wom­en’s lib­er­a­tion and inde­pen­dence awakes those wom­en’s mind, they will take away the hijab.”

The Issue On Inher­i­tance For Women

Inher­i­tance deals close­ly with the dis­tri­b­u­tion of wealth, i.e. deal­ing with the trans­fer of the prop­er­ty of the deceased to the descen­dants. In most of the ear­ly soci­eties in ancient civil­i­sa­tion, the right to inher­it the deceased prop­er­ties is often giv­en to the eldest son and male rel­a­tives. Female rel­a­tives are giv­en less­er right to inher­it, and most of the time their right is denied.

Over the years, the dress code among Mus­lim women has been giv­en great atten­tion, espe­cial­ly in rela­tion to the hijab (head cov­er­ing) prac­tice in which is con­sid­ered as a sym­bol of ​“oppres­sion” towards Mus­lim women.
