[quote][b][font=Comic Sans MS]Asa wb[/b] [b]Dear viewers [:)] From the first time I heard about hoors years ago I could never accept scholars belief that Allah Swt intended hoors for men alone, with the earth wives becoming the mistresses of the hoors. [:0] [blue]From their explanations, I could only feel degraded as a female, just an object of desire for a man as well as believing that men having greater importance than women. I cannot accept scholars beliefs that this is what Allah Swt is telling us.[/blue] [V] The reason I find this belief unbelievable is because of the life of women in this world today. We all know that sex has become a big part of the media, industry as well as life. What dignity or respect do women have these days? Almost any programme you watch on TV cannot live without a man making a reference to a woman and her body. [:(!] I know women are to blame for revealing themselves but you don’t see men putting a stop to it. Instead men enjoy it and want more. [blue]Being a Muslim sister, as much as I hate women out there who do such evil acts I also hate the men who just love what these women do. These dirty-minded men even make dirty comments about women who are decently dressed as well. [V][/blue] It hurts me so much that women are viewed this way. You hardly see women being seen as human beings who are equal to men in mind and soul. [:(] [blue]Allah Swt taught us about shame, modesty and dignity. These are factors that have been a part of me throughout my life. Because of how important this has become for me, never would I want a man to view me for my body. I believe that how men view women these days is just plain perverted[/blue]. [:(!] So if you can understand where I am coming from, to see a scholar saying that Allah Swt has planned for the men of paradise to have female hoors on top of their wives from earth, just completely sounds bizarre. [:0] In this world its obvious that this is what women want to escape from. Not to be focused on because of their physical beauty but to be seen as human beings equal to men. [^] [blue]Women have asked what they will get in paradise (obviously to see if anything could balance this out), but to their dissatisfaction scholars reply that all women’s minds will be erased from jealousy and hatred towards the hoors, and that they will be made the head of the hoors and they will be made the most beautiful[/blue]. [?] [:0] From this, any logical thinking woman of dignity and common sense would find this insulting as if her purpose in paradise is to only be an object of desire for a man, just like what is going on this world. [:0] [?] [blue]Now I may not be a scholar, but that doesn't mean that I can't tell from right and wrong or tell whether something sounds logical or not. I pray that I have some intelligence. I don't believe this is what Allah swt has planned for the women. [xx(][/blue] I found it strange, that if this is the reward why should women have such feelings of disappointment, why do they feel degraded, why do they feel men will have dominance over them in paradise, why do they feel they are rewards for men [?] Why would our Lord want women to have to go through feeling as if we were objects of desire, something that women feel horrible about in this world [xx(] [?] [blue]So you see maybe I am making good points here and that some scholar’s don’t really understand the whole hoor issue including women’s needs or I am completely lost[/blue]. [:(] But there are some scholars who make sense to me. They say hoors are companions/spouses with beautiful eyes, who are of modesty and purity both for men and women. [:D] It has nothing to do with men just getting intimate relationships with many women, which I think has been wrongly put out by some scholars. [blue]So why shouldn’t women also get many beautiful male companions who have beautiful eyes and keep their gazes away from other women and are untouched by other women and are of complete purity and modesty. Don’t women also have desires[/blue] [?] [:)] So maybe inshallah Allah swt is trying to tell men and women that He will bless both with beautiful companions in paradise, and that these companions are not there for simply sexual relations but for something much more valuable, friendship and other things we cannot imagine. In paradise men and women are equals. [^] [blue]I pray for Allah swt’s mercy, and I do sincerely apologise to anyone out there if they feel I have said anything in a wrong way, because this is not my intention. I simpy wanted to share my views and see what others think [/blue] [:)][:D][:)] Please share your views on this, especially from any sisters, or anyone who agrees with me. But opposite views are welcomed. [:p] Jazakallah[/font=Comic Sans MS] [;)][/b] Edited by: mikai on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 10:56 PM[/quote]
