Men also need someone to encourage them!

A wise man once told me: "Don't you notice that women have become the central focus in headlines and attention, even in the speeches of reformist preachers? They focus on the injustice done to women and the exoneration of the Sharia from it, to make her feel that Islam is fair to her and to save her from the clutches of feminism.

Meanwhile, the media discourse and systems focus on the 'oppression of women' and incite them against men...

Shouldn't we also fear for men, as they feel this marginalization and look at the religious discourse and feel that it does not do them justice?!

I fear that we may soon need to convince men of the virtues of the Sharia and that the Sharia has been fair to them and has not wronged them, to save them from the clutches of masculinity, which is fueled by the injustice done to them as well."

And I say: He is right! Men also need someone to encourage them and pat them on the back..

Followers know that I try to do justice to women with a balanced religious discourse, which does not please the extremists of feminism or the extremists of masculinity, but by the grace of Allah, it has restored the self-respect of many sisters to their religion and stability to families.

So what I will say here is not a biased speech for one 'team' over the other. I say: I know cases that are not few of men who have suffered real injustice from their wives, who did not know what was due to them and what was expected of them, and I have heard this from both sides..

And I know cases of men who were generally good, but the devil crept between them and their wives, and the wife's tyranny in the dispute, then the man sees himself after long years of marriage, kindness, spending, memories, hard work, and bearing debts for his family, thrown into prison by his wife's false complaint in a society and judiciary not governed by the Sharia, so that the burden of debt, the disease that has a role in marital problems, the sorrow of seeing his children's situation, and the oppression of the injustice done to him by those closest to him all gather upon him!

I know men who called me crying from oppression... and how difficult it is to oppress men, from whom the Prophet ﷺ sought refuge!

These injustices may soon generate a rebellious, oppressive masculine tendency against the Sharia, considering that the Sharia has not done them complete justice, just as happened with feminism.

We live in societies where individuals and oppressors do not adhere to the Sharia except by the mercy of Allah... So it is no wonder that injustice falls upon men and women alike, especially since the enemies of the Ummah and their lackeys exploit the injustice done to some men to incite women to injustice in return! To dismantle the family and destroy the most important fortress.

In these circumstances, we need our religious discourse to be balanced, to start balanced, not to lean towards one side, angering the other, so that we come to patch up by appeasing the angry one, as if we have quarrelsome partners!

We all need to remember, Muslims and Muslim women, that we have submitted to a just ruling that has given every rightful person their due, and that we should not be like two teams ready to fight each other in a wrestling ring, where the judges are human wolves who claim to do justice to women and triumph for her, while in reality they do not wish well for the men and women of the Ummah!

We need to deeply believe in the words of Allah the Most High: (And it is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should have any choice in their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error).. So the command of Allah and His Messenger is upon all of us, men and women...

We all need to remember the words of our Lord, the Just Ruler: (The believers, men and women, are protectors of one another).. Protectors, supporters like a building that strengthens each other, one hand against the external enemy and its lackeys.

We need our slogan as families and societies to be: Here is the Ummah of Islam, we solve our problems among ourselves with the Sharia of Allah whom we have accepted as our Lord, and entry is forbidden to dogs!

(And repent to Allah, O believers, that you may succeed).
