Did Islam truly come to make women "queens"?

Some who seek to entice women into accepting the religion say: "Islam has made women queens or princesses." This statement requires pause, as it is correct or false depending on what is meant by it. There are some girls and women who use this concept as a standard to measure the validity of religious texts! If a correct hadith does not align with their desires, they reject its authenticity... and why? "Islam made women queens, so this hadith cannot possibly be authentic." Especially when the concept of qawama (guardianship) and obedience to the husband, along with the distorted education and media, has destroyed its religious significance. In fact, some go so far as to deny verses from the Book of Allah, though they would never deny that they are from Allah’s words. Instead, they follow "modernist" or "Shahrurian" interpretations, which are in reality distortions and denials. They abolish qawama, socially criminalize polygamy, and portray obedience to the husband as "humiliation." Why all this? "Anything that wounds the feelings of the ‘queen’ woman is impossible for Islam to accept." This ‘queen’ sentiment is manipulated and shaped by the media of the capitalist epistemic system, which enslaves women in the name of honoring them.

The truth we must face is that Islam did not come to pamper men or women with worldly luxuries. Rather, it came for a higher purpose: to make all creation—male and female—worship their Creator, exalted is He... ("And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." [Quran 51:56]). In Islam, a woman is first and foremost a slave of Allah, just as a man is first and foremost a slave of Allah. But let me tell you, O daughter of Islam, when the statement that Islam made you a queen is valid: • When you free yourself from the servitude to fashion houses and the exhausting beauty standards imposed by capitalism to commodify your body. • When you find in Allah’s legislation the protection of qawama, which shields you from the toil of living and the humiliation of need... • When you hold fast to this religion that honored you as a mother (your mother, then your mother) and as a wife, making your honor a measure of men’s righteousness: "The best of you are those who are best to their wives." So you fulfill your duties willingly and in submission, without demanding only what is yours, as hypocrites do—far be it from you... Yes, you may be tested with what contradicts your desires, and you may be required to obey your husband or guardian among your men in matters that go against your wishes, as long as it is within the bounds of what is right... and you may suffer in this, feeling some displeasure... but even then, you submit in obedience to He who created you, the One most knowing of what benefits you and benefits humanity... the One who honored you by making you a slave to Him alone, exalted is He...

So if you compare the woman as she should be in Islam with the lost, confused, fragmented woman who has lost her identity—even if she claims to be Muslim—or the woman enslaved to the epistemic gangs and the capitalist system that trades in women and their bodies, then the woman in Islam is indeed a queen without a doubt... just as the man in Islam is a king compared to the enslaved males in this humanity enslaved to tyrants and whims...

Yes, O daughter of Islam, you are a slave who is a queen. And servitude to Allah alone is the secret of true honor and the source of true "queenship." In light of what we have mentioned, read the Quran, for example, Surah An-Nur or Surah An-Nisa, with sincere reflection—not with the eye of "one seeking her rights as a queen"—but with the heart of "one submitting to her Lord’s law"... ("And whoever believes in Allah, He guides their heart." [Quran 64:11]).
