Mera Jism Meri Marzi”; who is Responsible

Mera Jism Meri Marzi”; who is Responsible

Woman, an epitome of love, delicacy, benevolence, compassion and blessing. When she becomes mother the paradise lies beneath her feet. When she becomes wife, looking at her with kindness brings honorariums of Divine. When she becomes daughter, she ushers blessings and when she becomes sister she leads honour with herself. No one can deny that the existence of man is possible only with extant of woman. This is the woman about whom the prophet Muhammad PBUH has said, “ Treat her nicely, I give you counsel to be good to your women”. ( Sahih Bukhari and Sahi al Muslim). Islam has elevated her to the position which no other civilization is offering and guaranteeing her. Islam has made her heir of every field and domain. But unfortunately today the same woman is yelling to world that Islam has deprived her of her basic and fundamental rights. How unfortunate is it that contemporarily in every society there is a prejudice against Muslims that they are holding and confining education of their women. Have we ever thought that where and how this preconception came from? Do we ever introspect that Why Muslim women has broken out to streets against the system which we are claiming best? Why these women is persuading Western culture over Islam?  Who and what compels them to chant crass slogans like “Mera Jism Meri Marzi”? Have we ever thought that why our young women are giving predilection to Western theories, philosophies and approaches over Islamic style? Lest it is that it is because of us. Lest, we ourselves are responsible for this hue and cry. Yes, perhaps we have compelled woman to abandon the principles of  Islam and to adopt western civilization and have also thrived her to support the cause of western feminism.
Let me sight you few exam plenary examples that How we have pushed woman to come out on the Streets and to chorus striking slogans like “Mera jism Meri Marzi”.
Divine has constructed both men and women cogent and rational. They both adopt and implement what they prefer and like in their mind. Now if we apply same to womankind, she also would like to live under the same principles and values that seems right to her mind. She will surely embrace those values, articles and dogmas which she feels is pledging and vowing to her esteem and value. Now if our assertion and declaration is that the doctrine of Islam is the best of all dogmas, if we are claiming that Islam predominantly holds rights and privileges of women and indeed it does. Then, Why Muslim women is feeling downtrodden and deprived? Why she is fond of western feminism? Why does she feels that Islam has deprived her of her basic rights?
 It is all because we haven’t treated her with that kindness and gentleness that Islam has instructed and edified us. We take her as our servant and  are persecuting her with domestic subjugations. We are considering her just a  baby bearing machine. We didn’t appreciate her feelings. We didn’t value her opinion. We contemplate Islam to restrict woman to the four walls, where in Islam there is no such command or directive. We are persecuting her with domestic subjugations. It is we who have forced her to think that the civilization of West is her advocate and patron. We have imprisoned her ability and essence that is Why she is rebelling today. Our negligence and callousness has thrived her in support of western feminism. If we had given her the rights that Islam has bestowed to her, then maybe today she would not be on roads. She may not have supporting western dogmas. Today when West in the name of feminism is raising concern about women’s condition, this is making her feel that West is her messiah. She thinks that this western civilization will drive her out of the domestic oppression and subjugation which we men have inflicted on her. Now that is why she is crying out “Mera Jism Meri Marzi” to belch her anger and pain.
Today Without mocking this gentle creation, we should give her that honour and dignity that Islam has promised to him. We should deal her with such delicacy, gentleness and kindness, which will compel her to consider that the doctrine and teachings of Islam is superior than all other dogmas.
Today some people  epigram that this rebellious nature of women is triggered by the stratagems of West against Islam. To them all I want to say is that if this mutinous nature among women is triggered by West but Why our women are getting caught up in that ploy. This is because the women are fed-up with our behaviour and attitude towards them. That is why she is falling prey to all these tricks. If we had treated her well, she would have been stable with us and after that no one would have been  able to exploit her essence. If we had not  persecuted her domestically, then she would not have risen in support of western feminism.
Now, to protect our women from falling into trap of dodging and hoax we have to give her all the rights, privileges and freedoms that Islam promises to her. That is only how things can accelerate better. Otherwise this is not the crime of women to strike in the way where she shout “ Mera jism meri marzi”.
