In Islam, women must obey her husband. But did you know, that man shall be obedient to his mother three times more important than his father ...
Women receive less inheritance part than the man. But did you know, the inheritance which received women became the treasure belonged to his personal and need not be handed over to her husband, while if the man received a legacy, he should / must also use his property to wife and children.
Women have struggled to conceive and bear children. But did you know that in every time she get prayer from all people, angels and all God creatures at this earth. And did you know, if she die when childbirth that's mean she a martyr and Heaven will be waiting she ...
In the Hereafter, a man would be requested his responsibilities on four women, namely:
1. His wife,
2. His mother,
3. His daughter and
4. Sister.
This mean is responsibility a woman has borne by four men. Namely:
1. Her husband,
2. Her father,
3. Her Son, and
4. Her brother.
A woman can enter the doors of heaven through the gates of heaven which she liked, enough with the three conditions, namely:
1. Sholat 5 times,
2. Fasting of Ramadan; and
3. Obedient to her husband.
A man must strive Fisabilillah, while a women if obedient to her husband and fulfill her responsibility to GOD, then she will also receive a reward equivalent such as the reward of jihad Fisabilillah, without resorting to arms.
Convey this for many your friends, may you and we all know that women in Islam very highly respected

I had to spend an extended bit of time in a few muslim countries and I had the unpleasant experience of wearing the Burqa
. I have also spent a LOT of time studying islamic law and reading the quran, not because I ever intend to join islam, but because one cannot speak on a subject unless one knows it well.
Islam is NOT kind to women except in Western countries and even there muslims wish to take away our freedoms and enslave us just like in their countries. Yet, while they have these freedoms, they take complete advantage of them. They want both worlds. They are a very confused people. Here in the US, they collect welfare, Social Security, SSI, Food Stamps, Free Gov. Housing, and now they think they are going to get the free medical Obamacare because they claim that they do not believe in insurance. That is Bull because they buy car insurance and life insurance. Sorry, I have no respect for those who hide behind untruths. I have seen the truth and lived it.

By the way, why should I obey a husband when I am better educated both in scholastic and religion than he? I find that most men, reach a certain point in their education and begin to stagnate. I find them lazy. I will never be that way. I will continue to study both until I die. Islam does not grow. It is a stagnant religion...Sad but true.

One key to make successful organization is it needs to have leader, and it is only one leader.
That's why we hardly ever heard about two chairmans on an organization, there must be only one main leader.
And another key is its members have to follow the leader's command. It doesn't matter whether that command is come from the result of discussion or just come from the leader's mind; it doesn't matter even the members are better educated both in scholastic and religion; members have to follow it. If they aren't obey, the organizations would collapsed and messed up.
And we can also consider family as organization. It needs a leader.
So, honestly I have to say your response is really shocking me.
How can you make a good family if you aren't obeying your husband?
Well, I can a bit understand it if you are the leader of your family. But if no one being leader and no one want to obey, then there will be a lot of troubles in that family ...
And also I have to say:
That doesn't mean a husband can impose his own opinion.
Great leader would like to hear opinion from their members. That is also what good husband should do.

That is the theory, I know that Islam is a very respectful religion, in theory, the problem is that some people don't practice that respect.
I have a friend from Algeria that lived in my country, she was good, but her family used to give her beatings, and she can't complain because they are their parents. Once she went to classroom with a purple eye. How is that respect? For her birthday, I gave her a present, that was a bottle of perfume, and her mum threw it through the sink because according to her she was being naughty. That is cruel and horrible! She went through all those beatings, because she knew it was normal, but when the family moved to my country, she noticed that parents here don't beat their kids and she wanted to be treated with respect like the rest of the kids do. I think she has been a very brave woman, defying her family against that treat she received, she also refused to marry her 40 years old cousin which her family wanted to marry him with. Because here you can choose your partner, and she thought that wasnt normal, so she refused, and got beaten and kicked from her house in return. I helped her for a while and then she found a job, and now she married a boy that she chose and is having a baby. I admire her deeply, and I hope husbands stop beating their wives and daughters.

Islam had very good ideology which are supposed to be followed,and yes there are still people who claims to be muslims but are not practicing real Islam.It's such a sad story.Women should not be forced into marriage.

i ever read that christian only allowed one marriage in a whole life time
but these days, they can get divorce and marriage and divorce again
it is not the Islam or the Christian who fail to teach the believer
but many of the believer is bailed
and we can't put the fault in the religion

As far as my opinion is concern; women in Islam, is less important because for them women, is just only a women and not consider as valuable as precious as their wife. Because as we can see in Arab, countries most of the women are denied their rights for everything like driving car, join the politics and more

So informative, I didn't actually know and have no idea about it just now because i am not an ISLAM. All i can say is that EVERYONE of us irregardless of tradition, religion, doctrines, nationality, status, gender and so on and so forth... are entitled to "LOVE one another" as GOD loves us and treat us equally and fairly. If we beat someone where is that LOVE we are showing of?
Definition of GOD's true LOVE stated below :
LOVE
is patient
is kind
does not jealous or envy
does not brag
it doesn't boast or proud
it keeps no records of wrong
it does not act unbecomingly
is not selfish or seek of his own
is not provoked
does not rejoice in evil or unrighteousness but
rejoices of the truth (God's truth)
bears all things
believes all things
hopes all things
endures all things
LOVE never fails
(1Cor 13:4-8)
Out of this command develops peace and harmony no matter what society you are into and up to. We are just called to obey and implement it in our lives to obtain unity within our community.

if women in Islam have these privileges then why women in Islam are uprising and wanting liberty,freedom and respect? All you have mention is enough to appease an angry Islam heart if only it is practiced on this earth and not the other way around. I a woman but not an Islam but I know how they feel just because we are both WOMAN.

But still men are conveyed as more superior beings compared to women. I remember reading a book about a very young girl who was forced to be married off. It was very sad and the man would beat her each day for any sign of disobedience. I have learnt the Islamic religion in school for about a term and women are not respected as much as their men. It's the men who get all the respect and women are degraded and always covered up. They believe that there are 7 stages in Heaven, men can achieve all stages, including the very first stage whereas women can only reach in the middle. So no matter how obedient, or faithful the woman is she could only achieve the middle stage of Heaven. Being obedient to a abusive husband isn't exactly the life you want to live.
