For those who may be introduced new to the IRF and its activities, I would like to briefly outline the IRF, and its work. The IRF was initially started in February 1. Islamic knowledge amongst the educated Muslim youth – Youth who may be ignorant about Islamic teachings, youth who may tend to be wrongly apologetic about Islam, and youth who may not know how to properly present and practice Islam, for the whole world at large, to appreciate and look up to. Now the IRF has been growing in many other deserving areas of its other objectives, specially in humanitarian relief activities and educational upliftment. Amongst its popular services, IRF has a collection of more than 1,3. ![]() Video cassettes and more than 4,0. Audio cassettes, on Islam and Comparative Religion, available for free hire in Bombay. ![]() It also has to its credit, more then 5. Islam and Comparative Religion, which are available free on request, all over India. ![]() To promote education, the need of the day, amongst our people, the IRF Educational Trust was established 1½ year back of which Dr. Zakir happens to be the chairman. Today Dr. Zakir will be speaking on the topic… ‘Women’s Rights in Islam – Modernizing or Outdated?’This would be followed by a Question and Answer session, in which you all have a right to question and cross examine him, on the topic and the matter presented in a very open format. When we consider the rights and justice for women in this open court of ours today, in context of Islamic laws and views, it is very befitting, and our esteemed pleasure to have amongst us the eminent Judge, Honorable Justice Muhammad Mujeebuddin Qazi, to preside over this programme. Justice Qazi has been for 1. Nagpur Branch of the Bombay High Court, being the highest law officer of the Government of Maharashtra, there of. Then, Justice Qazi became the first Muslim, after Justice M. C. Chagra to be elevated from the Bar to the Bench, as a Judge of the Bombay High Court, where he has been delivering judgment, from 1. On the eve of his retirement in 1. Newspaper of Central India ‘The Hitwada’, had this to say about him… ‘Justice Qazi belongs to the fast vanishing breed of gentlemen Judges’. Justice Qazi, is at present a member of the Minorities Commission, and earlier has been a member of the advisory board Islamic and Comparative Law Journal, in New Delhi. After his retirement as a high court Judge, Justice Qazi has been fortunate, and been honoured with the elevation, to the position of Chairman, Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, opposed equal to that of the rank of the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court. This high powered Tribunal, is the substitute and bifurcation of the Bombay High Court for all government service matters. To top it all, his hand bill… ‘Demeanor’ and manners as well as a deep anguish and care for real human progress, make him an make him an apt personality, to precede… to preside over today’s proceedings. He would be introducing the importance and significance of the topic for the day, as well as introduce Dr. Zakir Naik, who he is well acquainted with. Brothers and sisters… Justice M. M. Qazi(Justice M. M. Qazi) The distinguished speaker Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr. Mohammed Naik, former Governor and Ambassador Mr. Talyar Khan, the foreign dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen. At the outset, I would like to thank the organizers of Islamic Research Foundation, for having invited me to preside over this function. I would also like to thank Dr. Mohammed Naik, for having said few good words about me. As you are already aware, the subject of the talk this morning is… ‘Women’s Rights in Islam – Modernizing or Outdated?’Modernizing means… ‘Something which is not antiquated, but in the context of the subject it would mean – the rights given to women in Islam, fourteen centuries back, are relevant even today’. The debate, on the position of women in social spectrum, has been going on since centuries – but of late, it has assumed somewhat alarming proportions in certain matters. Issues such as Talaq, Polygamy, participation of Muslim women in. Socio- political activities, are subject of regular comment and discussion in the media. There may have been problems, but at the same, time it is a fact that some of the issues were over played by the Media. No doubt, the Western woman has today obtained, Socio- economic and. Lego- political rights, through hectic struggle, which was carried on for over 2. But friends, I would like to tell you, that in the struggle, in the process, she has lost everything. She has lost, if you have closely observed the Western society… you will agree with me that she has lost her family life, she has lost peace of mind, she has lost even her honour and womanhood. On the contrary… Islam has given, has bestowed on women innumerable rights, fourteen centuries back, when contemporary civilizations were still considering whether women could be regarded as a human being. We are therefore to examine objectively, dispassionately and coolly, whether the rights, so given in Islam are really adequate, and therefore relevant even today. You are fortunate to have an eminent speaker Dr. Zakir Naik, who is going to deal with the subject exhaustively, and therefore it is not necessary for me to refer to all those verses in the Holy Qur’an, and the number of traditions of the holy… of the Prophet of Islam, pertaining to the rights of women. However I will refer to the two verses, in order to demonstrate that woman has been given a dignified position in Islam – Verse No. Chapter 2, Surah Baqarah, as translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, whose work is supposed to be the most standard work, reads as under….‘And Women shall have rights, similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable, but men have a degree of advantage over them’. I would like you to bear in mind, every word of this Verse – It has unequivocally being declared, that men and women have similar rights against each other. These words… this part of the verse has no where been diluted anywhere in the Qur’an, however the verse further says that men have a degree of advantage over women. It is really these words which we have to be… we have to be sure about, because it is here that most of the people have faltered, and even some of the commentators have misconceived these words. But at the outset I would like to tell you, that these words have nothing to do with the rights between the parties… rights as I have already… we have already seen just now, have been unequivocally declared in the earlier portion of this Verse that… ‘Men and women have similar rights against each other’. In order to fully appreciate this Verse, these words namely that… ‘Men have a degree of advantage over women’, we will have to refer also to another Verse – Verse No. Chapter 4, Surah Nisa. It reads… its translation reads as under… ‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one (more) into bracket (strength) bracket close than the other, and because they support them for their means’. This Verse… Verse again lays down that… ‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women’. It further says that…‘God has given one more than the other’. Admittedly, a woman is a weaker sex and she has got to be given special protection in certain matters. Anthropologically, man is stronger and also different, which is also a biological truth. No doubt nature has given him this advantage, for which no credit goes to man, and no discredit to women on that account – But I would like to tell you that this advantage, is also being given to men in order, so that he is. Honorees task has been cast on him, that of a protector and maintainer and therefore this advantage which has been given to him, has nothing to do with the rights, as I have already said earlier. In fact this advantage, in no way reduces the rights of women … nor it, her importance. Therefore the real question that would arise, would be… I would request you to ponder over, and think about the state of affair, in the social set up today. According to me, this is one of the most important and delicate function of the men… to give protection to women.
