Sexism In Islam?
@faisalharoon This aayah (34) of surah noor stating husbands as caretakers of wives states two reasons. One of those reasons is that “Allah has favored some over others” Is that favor talking about physical health or something else? I agree that the concept of superiority in Islam is based on piety however, here it states favoring some over the others in the context of a particular relationship.
It seems that you’re interpreting the aayah to be “the favor is for women” whereas, the next statement “and because they (men) spent from what is bestowed on them” clearly says that the favor is for men.
How is it a favor for men if they are asked to share from their earnings? Men have been blessed with stronger body. Then to be fair, Allah put reponsibility of earning and fighting on them. Women are created physically weak and then Allah offset that with not putting the responsibility of working or fighting on them.
