"Women's Liberation" Between Propaganda and Reality

Far from all theoretical discourses, the so-called "women's liberation" everywhere in the world has been accompanied by a sharp rise in the rates of harassment, rape, violence, disease, family breakdown, deviance, exploitation, single motherhoods, abandoned infants, psychological disorders, and suicide.

Dragging a woman into a quagmire means enslaving her.

And her true liberation lies only in her safeguarding.

The greatest contradiction faced by proponents of "women's liberation" is their defiance of woman's innate nature (Fitrah) and the reality of the world we live in. Attempting to bypass the fact that driving women to compete and mix with men without any restriction—save for legal punishment—means exposing them to the dangers that naturally arise from unrestricted mixing.

Look at their own elites to realize the truth.

The greatest crises facing women—such as violence, exploitation, and disease—are found wherever so-called "women's liberation" exists. You will not find high rates of these indicators in regions that have preserved the Fitrah. In fact, even within their own human rights organizations, complaints by women against managers and human rights lecturers are on the rise!

They lie, believe their own lies, witness their own failure, and attempt to market it as a success!

Examining the statistical curves of violence against women in the West is enough to shatter all their theories on "women's liberation." How can a woman be presented as a cheap commodity stripped of personal protection, only to then threaten anyone who touches her with legal punishment? This is a gross recklessness and a disparagement of a woman's worth. This is why Islam has been the most safeguarding of women, for prevention is better than cure.

If only the matter had stopped with women. Today, the greatest victims in the West are children; they are subjected to grave injustice, crushed from birth, and even while still in their mothers' wombs. They are treated like mercenaries to drive the gears of capitalism, or as toys for morbid, beastly whims.

It was entirely logical for children to be the next victims, and today, their eyes are set on our children.

The most dangerous aspect of the Western paradigm, which wrongs both women and children, is that it deludes the victims into believing that this is "the best option" and "the desired goal for a happier life," only for them to wake up to the tragic realization that they are the victims! You will not find a media outlet that broadcasts the ultimate fates of Western victims, females and children, because it is a wartime media—one that spreads deception and contents itself with misdirection.

Today, we are facing a war against Fitrah and human nature itself, not just against Islam. Our victory in it is a victory for all humanity. Nothing will save these masses from the snares of Satan and his followers except calling to Allah through the Qur'an and the Sunnah, with sound commitment, and by providing a righteous example and role model.

Broadcast the Qur'an and explain it in all the languages of the world, for its impact on souls is truly profound, and many people has embraced Islam because of it.

Teach your children to memorize the Qur'an; enlighten them about the flaws and erratic wanderings of the West. Beware of painting a picture of glorification and veneration for this West. Present it in its true size to those around you, and do not allow defeatism to prevent our resurgence. By Allah, what we possess is far better than what they have, and by Allah, the grandeur of Islam deserves to be learned by all of humanity.

Carry Islam with the sincerity it deserves!

Every day, as we scan the news concerning women in the West, we marvel at the degree of misguidance among its politicians. Instead of being safeguarded and preserved, the woman is pushed toward further objectification and decadence, only to be violated! Then, every criminal is threatened with the law ‘after’ they have already achieved their purpose.

How cheap you are, O woman, in the life of the West! How desperately you need true liberation!

Today, their maladies are spilling over into every corner of the earth, making global dawah a necessity.

It is not surprising at all that the largest percentage of converts to Islam are women. What is surprising, however, is that our own women are infatuated with Western life, sketching it in their minds as a wish and a dream—even as they see how a woman's honor and dignity are compromised at the very first instance of decadence made available to her, both in word and deed! Look at who is the first to be harmed in their decadent parties, and whose dignity is the first to be insulted: the woman.

Yet, they were not foolish. Before they lured her out of her modesty, they convinced her that honor and dignity lie in being vulnerable to exploitation! Thus, through a game of terminology, insult became dignity, humiliation became pride, and enslavement became freedom. No one can be dragged into these pitfalls except those whose innate nature has been inverted and the light of whose insight has been extinguished, leaving them to view corruption as desirable, evil as beloved, and purity as a flaw!

Allah said:
“Indeed, Over My servants you have no authority, except those who follow you of the deviators.” [Qur’an 15:42]
The only way to fortify oneself against the plot and threat of Satan is steadfastness as Allah commanded, and seeking the aid of the Almighty. For by Allah, his plot is weak, and his authority is only over those who have accepted him as a role model and a leader toward their own ruin and destruction.
