Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh

 

In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-giving.

 

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

There is no Quranic and prophetic injunction that brand all women as causes of destruction for men. This is not even fair, whereas Islam is the religion of justice. However, there are warnings to men against being tempted by women and similar warnings to women against being causes of temptation for men. Those who comply with Islamic injunctions, be they men or women, will be rewarded in the Hereafter and those who fall into the traps of Satan and temptations be they men or women, ruin themselves.

 

Allah has created us and knows our points of weakness. In the Quran we read what means “Made fair-seeming to people are [their] beloved desires- as to women, and [begetting] children, and heaped up piles of gold and silver, and well-bred horses, and cattle, and tillage. That is the mere enjoyment of the life of this world. Yet with Allah is the most excellent resort.” (Aal `Imran 3:14)

 

Women stands first in the list because this is what reality attests to. This is further supported by the prophetic statement “I am not leaving behind me a more harmful trial for men than women.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

 

Sexual desire in man, if not controlled by Islamic principles, may drive him to commit kinds of sins and crimes. Therefore, Islamic teachings have set limits and regulations for the relation between men and women.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
