The Breakdown

 

1- Women are “Awra عورة” a source of shame, indecency, and immodesty (which objectified women):

 

Quran 16:58-59 

“And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.”

Implies daughters are a source of shame.

 

Quran 43:18 

“And is one brought up in ornaments while being, during dispute, indistinct in argument?”

Questions if a female raised in ornaments can argue clearly.

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 6240 (Ibn Abbas narrates the Prophet said: 

“The menstruating woman is awrah, when she goes out, the devil raises his eyes to her,”

 

Ibn Abbas narrates the Prophet said:

“The tymi woman is awrah, when she goes out, the devil raises his eyes to her,”

 

Sunan al-Tirmidhi 1173 The Prophet said:

“The woman is awrah, so when she stays in her house, she is concealed,”

 

the Prophet said, “The woman is awrah, so when she stays in her house, she is concealed,” 

 

Mishkat al-Masabih 3109 “A woman is awrah, and the best thing for her is not to see or be seen by men,”

 

*It’s typical of Islam to blame women for everything, yet it never acknowledges that men can also be a temptation to women, because there are handsome men with sexy bodies. 

Islam assumes women have no sexual desires, and having them makes women whores or sluts, while men’s sexual desires are considered natural and normal.

 

2- Women are deficient in intellect:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 304

Muhammad said: “I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you [women]. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you,”

Muhammad says women are deficient in intelligence and religion.

 

Sahih Muslim 79 “The Prophet said: ‘Never will a people succeed who give a woman authority over their affairs,’” reinforces this view.

 

How do Muslim Women and Men justify this?

Their only argument is that women are inherently emotional due to estrogen and have brains that differ from men’s.

 

Here is why this reasoning is flawed and baseless:

If we apply the same logic, men could be considered temperamental, aggressive, and violent because of testosterone and their own brain differences, implying they are irrational and incapable of clear thought. This exposes the argument’s inconsistency.

 

Moreover, history disproves any notion of women’s intellectual deficiency. Women have excelled in science, invention, medicine, art, literature, and every sphere of life. 

 

Take Marie Curie, for instance, who won Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry for her groundbreaking work on radioactivity, foundational to modern cancer treatments. 

It’s ridiculous to suggest she, or other accomplished women, is intellectually lesser than a muslim man whose only pursuit is teaching the Quran.

 

3- Women’s testimony is less credible and is half that of a man:

 

 Quran 2:282 

“And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses – so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her,”

requires two women’s testimony to equal one man’s in financial matters.

 

Again, that is because women in Islam are considered deficient in intellect.

 

4- Women nullify ablution like excrement:

 

Sunan Ibn Majah 650 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The passing of a woman, a dog, or a monkey in front of a praying person cuts off his prayer,’”

compares a woman passing to breaking ablution like filth.

 

5- Women appear in the form of a devil:

 

 Sahih Muslim 1403 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, let him come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart,’”

women passing in front of praying men likened to devils disrupting prayer.

 

6- Women are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 3241

“The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hellfire and that the majority of its dwellers were women because they curse frequently and are ungrateful to their husbands’”

Muhammad says he saw most of Hell’s dwellers were women.

Sahih Muslim 2737 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I stood at the gate of Hell and saw that the majority of those who entered it were women,’”), repeats this vision.

 

7-  Women interrupt prayer like a black dog or a donkey:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 511 

“The Prophet said: ‘The passing of a woman, a donkey, or a black dog interrupts the prayer of a Muslim if it passes in front of him,’” 

Which means that a man will have to restart his prayer all over again.

Sunan Abu Dawud 70 “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A woman, a donkey, and a black dog interrupt the prayer,’” 

 

*How do Muslim Women and Men justify this?

A woman passing close to a praying man might distract him, especially if she’s not family, due to gender norms.  

 

Here is why this reasoning is flawed and baseless:

Anything can distract, crying babies, a smelly man nearby, street noise, or stray thoughts. 

So why target only women out of endless distractions? 

Clearly, it puts women on the same level as dogs and monkeys.

 

8- Women are less deserving of inheritance than men, they inherit only half of what men do:

 

Quran 4:11 

“Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females,”

a male inherits twice the share of a female in most cases.

 

*How do Muslim Women and Men justify this?

Men were obligated to provide for their families, wives, children, and sometimes extended relatives—while women had no such legal duty.

 

Women received additional financial rights, like the “mahr” (bridal gift) from their husbands and maintenance during marriage, reducing their need for equal inheritance.

 

It is not about equality, it is about fairness and justice, a man deserves to have more because his role in providing and responsibility is bigger and harder than women.

 

At last but not least, Women are deficient in Intellect and foolish when it comes to spending money, therefor, therefore, they should have a control over money or wealth

(continue reading below to see references from Quran and the prophet’s teachings)

 

Here is why this reasoning is flawed and baseless:

Women in Islam have less role and responsibility than men because Islam limits them from doing more, otherwise women would have as much power as men. These are gaslighting tactics to keep women constantly needing to depend on men, under their control, as if women are like wild, feral animals that must be controlled at all times.

Therefore, it’s clear this isn’t about fairness or justice—it’s only and always about control.

 

Furthermore, not all women want men to take care of them. Many women would choose to take care of themselves. Alas, Islam doesn’t allow this and strips away their right to choose.

 

In regards being deficient in intellect, we already have covered that above.

 

9- Women have to share their husbands with up to four women:

 

Quran 4:3 

“And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four,”

permits men to marry up to four wives, implying women must share.

 

*In Islam, a woman cannot object to her husband marrying other women simultaneously. If she does, she’d be seen as disobedient and opposing Allah, since Allah permits men to do so.  

 

If she seeks a divorce because she refuses to share her husband, it’s nearly impossible. Unlike men, who can divorce easily just be uttering the words “I divorce you” and it is done, women must provide strong evidence to justify ending the marriage, and psychological stress or damage isn’t considered valid proof in Islamic law.

10- Women get beaten when defiant/discordant/disobedient to their husbands:

 

Quran 4:34 

“Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient… But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them,”

allows husbands to strike wives if they fear disobedience, after admonition and separation.

 

11- Under-age and Pre-pubescent girls can be married and consummate the marriage to a muslims man of any age:

 

Quran 65:4

 “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women—if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated.”

The verse explains when and what females can marry.

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 5133 

“Narrated Aisha: The Prophet married me when I was six years old, and consummated the marriage when I was nine years old,”

Aisha married the Prophet Mohammed at six and consummated at nine, and she was still pre-pubescent.

 

*How do Muslim Women and Men justify this?

If the little girl cannot stand having full penetrative sex, you can, then, have other forms of sex, aka, you can eat her 9 years old pussy and cum over her face or down her throat!

 

OR, if she is scared, you can ease her into it, aka, wait until she falls asleep to preform sexual acts on her, or give her a coughing medicine to make her drowsy or a gentle sedative so you can do whatever you want to her!

 

*did you know that, In Islam, a man can marry up to 4 little under-age or pre-pubescent girls, and fuck them all together at the same time in an orgy, lining them up like chicken next to to each other and alternate penetrating them from one vagina to another.

12- Women are not given money because their foolish and stupid:

 

Quran 4:5 

“And do not give the foolish your wealth, which Allah has made a means of sustenance for you,”

The “foolish” here are about women and that they shouldn’t control wealth, cultural extension.

13- Women must stay confined in the home/at home:

 

Quran 33:33 

“And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance,”

tells wives of the Prophet to stay in their homes, extended to women generally in some interpretations.

 

*Yes, In Islam, A woman must ask her husband and take his permission if she wants to go out, or do anything really!

 

14- Women are flawed because they are like crooked ribs:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 5184 

“The Prophet said: ‘Woman was created from a rib, and if you try to straighten the rib, it will break,”

Muhammad says women were created from a rib, if you try to straighten it, it breaks becausethey’re inherently flawed.

 

Sahih Muslim 1468 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Woman was created from a rib; the most crooked part of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, it will break,’”, repeats this analogy.

 

15- Women are a “fitnah فتنة” source of temptation and trial (which objectified women):

 

Quran 64:14 

“O you who have believed, indeed, among your wives and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them,”

warns that wives and children can be enemies and a trial.

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 5096 

“The Prophet said: ‘I have not left behind me any temptation/trial more harmful to men than women,’” 

Muhammad calls women the greatest temptation/trial for men, urging caution.

 

*It’s typical of Islam to blame women for everything, yet it never acknowledges that men can also be a temptation to women, because there are handsome men with sexy bodies. 

Islam assumes women have no sexual desires, and having them makes women whores or sluts, while men’s sexual desires are considered natural and normal.

16- Women are like properties and goods:

 

Quran 2:223 

“Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish,”

compares wives to a tilth (field) men can approach as they wish.

 

Sunan Ibn Majah 1853 

 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A woman is like a captive in your hands,’”

Muhammad says women are like captives under men’s control.

 

*Yes, in Islam, women are treated as nothing but adjuncts and property. The father owns his daughter, the brothers owns his sister, the husband owns his wife, and the marriage certificate essentially serves as an ownership deed.

 

 

17- Women’s ingratitude curses their husbands:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 29 

“The Prophet said: ‘Were it not for the women, Allah would have been worshipped properly. They are ungrateful to their husbands,’”

Muhammad says women’s lack of gratitude to husbands is why they’re in Hell

 

Sahih Muslim 907 (“The Prophet said: ‘I was shown Hell and found that the majority of its inhabitants were women because they curse too much and are ungrateful to their husbands,’”

ties this to their cursing and complaining.

 

18- Women Cannot divorce easily like men can do:

 

Quran 2:229 

“Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment,”

men can pronounce divorce and take back wives within a waiting period, no similar ease for women.

 

Sunan Abu Dawud 2180 “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce without a valid reason, the fragrance of Paradise will be forbidden to her,’”

women seeking divorce face stricter scrutiny.

 

*Unlike in the Western world, a Muslim man doesn’t have to file for separation or divorce. No, all he does is utter the words “I divorce you” or “You are divorced,” and it’s done, legally binding! If this isn’t madness, I don’t know what else you’d call it.  

 

Meanwhile, it’s different for a Muslim woman. If she wants a divorce, she must file with a court and provide strong, difficult evidence to explain why the marriage isn’t good for her. Even if the court grants it, she loses all financial rights and support because she chose divorce, so it’s deemed fair that she gets nothing.  

 

Not to mention, in the Islamic world, when a woman gets divorced, she’s branded for life, and the fault is assumed to be hers, not the husband’s.

 

 

19- Women’s jealousy is condemned:

 

Sahih Muslim 2755 

“The Prophet said: ‘The jealousy of women is greater than that of men, and that is what ruins homes,’”

Muhammad says women’s jealousy exceeds men’s and leads to ruin.

 

Musnad Ahmad 19791 “Women’s jealousy is the cause of their majority in Hell,”

links it to their Hellfire majority.

 

20- Women are prisoners of marriage:

 

Sunan Ibn Majah 1851 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A woman is like a prisoner in her husband’s hands,’”

Muhammad says a woman is like a prisoner with her husband, no freedom unless he releases her.

 

21- Women are inferior to men because men are providers:

 

Quran 4:34 

“Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth,”

men have authority over women because they spend on them, implying dependency and subordination.

 

*However, even if a woman is the provider, working, for example, because her husband is ill, she is still considered inferior. As noted earlier, in Islam, women are deemed deficient in intellect, foolish, and irrational due to estrogen.

 

22- Women cannot refuse sex with their husbands (unless they have a physical malady that prevents them from having sex), otherwise, they are considered discordant:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 3237 

“The Prophet said: ‘If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning,’”

 

Sahih Muslim 1436d 

“The Prophet said: ‘If a woman refuses her husband’s bed, He who is in the heavens is angry with her until he is pleased with her,’”

adds that her refusal angers Allah.

 

Quran 4:34 

“But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them,”

 ties discordance to disobedience.

 

*Yes, in Islam, a woman cannot refuse sex simply because she’s not in the mood or doesn’t feel like it, she must perform sexually, or she’s defying Allah’s word. So, even if she’s angry, upset, or sad due to something bad happening, she still has to comply if her husband demands sex.

 

There’s no recognition that she’s her own person with agency over her body, feelings, decisions, or choices. As mentioned earlier, women are treated as nothing but adjuncts.

23- Women are greedy and nag/complain a lot:

 

Sahih al-Bukhari 1052 

“The Prophet said: ‘If you treat them well for a year, then they see one fault in you, they will say: I have never seen any good from you,’”)

Muhammad says women are ungrateful to their husbands and complain excessively, even after a year of good treatment they’d focus on one fault.

 

Sahih Muslim 912 

“The Prophet said: ‘They are ungrateful to their companions and ungrateful for good treatment,’”

reinforces this, linking their greed and whining to a lack of appreciation.

 

*Typical Islamic double standards! 

As if men aren’t greedy! Look at the wars and conquests Islam initiated since its inception, it wasn’t just to spread the word of Islam, it was to expand empires, amass wealth, and seize power. The early Muslim conquests, like those under the Rashidun and Umayyad caliphs, stretched from Spain to India within a century, driven by loot, tribute, and control of trade routes, not merely faith. 

 

The spoils of war were so central that the Quran itself, in Surah 8:41, allocates one-fifth of all booty to the Prophet and the state, proving greed was baked into the system. Men’s ambition fueled these campaigns, yet Islam blames women for temptation, ignoring how male greed shaped its history.

24- Women should always be under the control and surveillance of their men

 

Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih Muslims

“The prophet said in his farewell sermon before he died: ‘I enjoin you to take control of women”

“أوصيكم بالنساء”

 

*Muslims counter this by claiming the Prophet meant “taking care of women,” not control or surveillance, but this ignores how the Arabic language 1400 years ago differed from today. Just as a single word in English or French can carry different meanings or implications over time, the Arabic term used back then, often translated as “care,” actually meant “control over and surveillance” in its historical context. In truth, the word’s original usage وصي, as understood by scholars of classical Arabic, reflects authority and oversight, not mere protection, revealing the intent was domination, not just support.
