Recently, I just finished reading a very deep and nice book. It is a story about two women living in Afghanistan. Before Soviet invaded, in soviet regime, then it turns into chaos in 1992 under mujahideen and then Taliban in 1996. I read how women fell in suffered life. Pushed in early age of married, beaten by their husband, moreover in Taliban regime they also beaten by officers. They banned from school and works, even no hospital for women.
I am a moslem, and I felt tears in my eyes read their suffer. I am a moslem. I know a hadith from beloved prophet that describe pursuing knowledge since you born until you died. So why they forget about that. In the named of religion they put laws banning women to pursue knowledge, they beated women. why? I don’t understand about that. We are human created by Allah with unlimited potential to think and act as khalifah on this earth. It is also written in our beloved Qur’an.
Reading some islamic page and some people comments, it is really hurts me. As a woman, those men who claimed him self as a moslem, who don’t even know exactly how women in afghanistan suffered, attacked and yelled words they support Taliban as they knew the truths. Don’t they remember if they have mother, sisters, female cousins -if they are beaten, starving (alot of women afghan leaved alone after their brother/father died in war, and now they even not allowed go outside house and work), desease (no hospital for women even for delivered baby).
There is a comment from a moslem man said that woman should be at home, if they work they can cheated their husband.
It is really dissapointed me, as woman moslem, how man can comment like that. What a shallow thought, he prefer see women live in starving and beaten by husband…?
It is unfair to see another moslem somewhere out there suffer.
For all women in Afghanistan, please be patient, strong and endure. We know Allah never sleep.
Love you.
life is so good...
