The Place of Women i n Pure Islam  by M. Rafiqul-Haqq and P. Newton Contents - Men's Superiority Women's Deficiencies What is a Woman? Husband's Rights  Woman's Rights Man's Prerogatives The Significance of the Marriage Contract  The Significance of the Dowry Spiritual Standing of Women Conclusion The purpose of this booklet is to consider the place of women in the pure teaching of Islam. It must be recognised that not every Muslim, nor ever y Muslim nation follows all of these teachings. These teachings come from both the Qur'an and the Hadith. The Hadith is 'The Tradition of Mohammad', that is, the stories of Mohammad's deeds and sayings. This Hadith is of "paramount importance side by side with the Qur'an in the formation of the religious life of a human being and for the attainment of perfection. Indeed a Qur'an minus Hadith remai ns unintelligible in many cases in the work- a-day life of a man."[1] The commentator Jalal-ud-Din as-Suyou ti said that the Hadith "is the commentar y on the Qur'an and its explanation"[2] This is why almost all commentaries rely in t he first place on the Hadith to explain the Qur'an. The authentic Hadith is believed to be "nothing short of revelation, [for the Qur'an says of Mohammad] "he does not speak out of low desires. It is not but inspiration which is inspired (Q. 53:3-4)." The only difference  between the Qur'an and the Hadith is that whereas the former was r evealed directly through Gabriel with the very letters that are embodied fr om Allah , the latter was revealed without letters and words."[3] "Thus, next to the Holy Qur'an, the Hadith is the second source of the Islamic Law of social and personal behaviour, because t he commandments of the Holy Prophet are as binding on the believers as the commandments of Allah. 'Whenever Allah and the Apostle have decided a matter, it is not for a faithful man or woman to follow a course of their own choice (Q. 33:36).'"[4] The Hadith is t o be followed exactly "for t hat which differs from the Hadith to the extent of a hair shall be given up."[5] "A Muslim therefore stands in absolute need of a copy of the Qur'an and a copy of the Hadith for the guidance of his life"[6]
