Episode 6 - The Superwoman (Before the Muslim Woman Becomes Divine)

Peace be upon you.

Introduction: Human Deification and the Warning of Prophethood

The Western human has deified himself, meaning: he behaves as if he sees himself as a god. And our Prophet (peace be upon him) informed that the Muslims will imitate the People of the Book in everything, saying: "You will follow the ways of those before you inch by inch and arm by arm, so much so that if they enter a hole of a lizard, you will follow them into it" (Sahih al-Bukhari). The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah, the Jews and the Christians?" He said: "And who else?" meaning, who else besides them?

Even if they enter a desolate and ruined place - like the hole of a lizard - we will follow them. They do something, and we must do the same. And the worst hole we will enter behind them is the hole of deification, the deification of man for himself and his desires, and the lack of genuine submission to the true God. This is the root of most of the contemporary problems of our societies.

Since this episode is part of a series for you, dear girl and dear woman, we will talk about the deification of women in it. We will see together the story of deification among Western women; its roots, causes, manifestations, and results. Then we will see how some Muslim women have begun to follow the same path and enter the same hole; the hole of deification, and follow the Western women inch by inch and arm by arm, sometimes intentionally, and sometimes unknowingly. We will see the reasons for this and its manifestations so that the Muslim woman may be aware and be saved before she suffers the consequences of deification and its results that we will see.

Human Deification in the West: Causes and Manifestations

How has the Western human deified himself? By the way, the word "deified" linguistically means to worship and to claim divinity. When you hear: the deification of man to his desires, you are surprised and think that this is a literary and metaphorical expression. No, seriously. Have you not heard the saying of Allah the Most High: "Have you seen him who has taken his desire as his god?" [Al-Furqan: 43], and His saying: "Has man not seen that We created him from a drop, then behold, he is an open opponent?" [Ya-Sin: 77]? He sees himself as an opponent to Allah, and a clear rival.

Causes of Deification Among Westerners

What are the causes of this deification among Westerners? Its causes: religion, and the abandonment of religion. How so?

1. The Corrupted Religion

The deification of man has its roots in the corrupted scripture of the People of the Book, which removes the boundaries between Allah and His servants; for their god incarnates in man, and wrestles with Jacob, and the god wrestles. And their god sleeps, gets tired, and cries like a child. And their religion portrays the god as eager to keep man ignorant so that he does not challenge His divinity, saying in the Book of Genesis from the Old Testament [Genesis 2: 16-17]: "And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying: Of all the trees of the garden you may eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."

This means that the Lord tried to make Adam believe that eating from the tree of knowledge would kill him; so that Adam would not eat from it and would remain ignorant. And when Adam disobeyed his Lord and ate from the tree of knowledge, the Lord - as in the Book of Genesis from the Old Testament - [Genesis 3: 22] said: "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever." This means that the Lord feared that Adam would eat from another tree and become immortal, and would not die, and would become, with all these qualities, a rival to the Lord in divinity, Allah is far above what they say, greatly exalted.

And you can refer here to the series of brother (Ahmad Dadoosh) titled (The World of Secrets), especially the third episode about (Kabbalah) to see how far the deification of man has gone. The idea of rivalry and competition with Allah has its roots in corrupted religions, and it increased with the advancement of natural sciences, considering that man discovers what the Lord wanted to hide from him and keep him ignorant of. And I do not want to cut the sequence of the story here, but you can see, O Muslim, the blessing of Allah upon you with Islam, which makes knowledge a means to Allah, so that the more you delve into creation, the more you glorify and honor the Lord of Might, as we explain in (The Journey of Certainty).

2. Abandoning Religion

We return and say: the corrupted religion had a role in the idea of man's deification. Good, what about abandoning religion? The one who abandons religion among them does not usually seek the true religion free from these myths, but rather turns to atheism or (agnosticism). In his nature, he feels human weakness and the need to worship and seek help from a Lord complete in attributes. If he does not direct this worship to the true Lord, he will direct it to the worship of his desires.

Thus, the Western human has deified himself, and human centrality has become the norm. Everything must follow and submit to man, and he does not submit to anyone, not even to his Creator and Provider. Therefore, all standards, perceptions, and ideas will be built accordingly: that man is the center, the sanctity is for him and his desires and wishes. And religion must be subjected to man, taking from it what pleases him and what achieves his psychological comfort. And anything in religion that contradicts the desire of the deified man must be interpreted to suit the desire. And there are no prohibitions before this deified man except what leads to harming the other gods of humans around him. As for the right of Allah, it is a trivial matter to be said.

The Deification of the Western Woman: Its Forms and Manifestations

The idea of human deification has prevailed in the West among both men and women, and perhaps it has intensified among women as a reaction to the distorted texts that diminished her status, made her the cause of sin in tempting Adam to eat from the tree of knowledge, and that this "fearful, angry" God punishes her with the toils of pregnancy, childbirth, her monthly cycle, and the domination of man over her, as mentioned in the episode "The Liberation of the Western Woman." This woman challenges the God who wants to keep her ignorant and take revenge on her.

This deification, the idea of the "woman goddess," has taken many forms. Not even some women who identify as religious nuns have been immune to this idea. For example, there are websites titled "Christian Feminism" that demand the use of the feminine pronoun for God (in English) under the name "Combating the Idea of the Male God" according to their expression.

In contrast, calls have emerged to adopt and revive pagan beliefs due to the idea of the female goddess, considering that this helps in getting rid of male dominance. This is done by Western women, some of whom are university professors, such as the famous feminist Dr. Carol Christ, a graduate of Yale University, who launched the "Goddess Movement." Books have been written to revive the idea of the goddess, and conferences have been held, including a conference titled "The Great Goddess Rises Again" in 1978 at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Their sentiment - whether they remain Christian while demanding the feminization of God, or abandon it for pagan religions - is: I am a woman, I am central, and I want God to adapt to my mood. I will consider Him female and worship Him as a female as I wish. Just as the pagans used to make an idol from dough to fulfill their psychological needs in worship, then eat it if they were hungry. This type of woman considered that God should adapt to them.

Some Western women have denied the distorted religious texts and denied the pagan religions that worship alleged goddesses, but their alternative was not to respond to the call of innate nature and seek the right religion. Instead, they turned to atheism and denied the existence of God altogether.

Some Western women considered themselves as a substitute for God, that she, with her sexual attraction and dominance over men, is like a god to whom he cannot escape. Songs with hundreds of millions - even billions - of views have spread, and we will not refer to them or mention their names due to the moral corruption they represent, which symbolizes the sanctification of unrestrained desires. These songs use religious terms - such as confession and salvation - but with a deified woman who is a promiscuous female. The conclusion of these songs is: Do you not see the dominance of desire over you and your weakness before it? Confess then that God is a woman, and gain salvation and sexual pleasure with your confession.

The young man and woman who listen to these songs repeatedly: debauchery, arousal of instincts, music, visual art, the idea of "human god" and "female goddess" and "worshipped desires" grows within them, especially in societies where sexual frenzy has been ignited everywhere, and songs and films are used to erase innate nature and reshape minds and feelings anew.

Some Western women have turned away from learning religion altogether, not caring about seeking the affairs of their Lord, but living for themselves, their problems, their hobbies, and their desires.

Some Western women have practiced selectivity: they take from religion and the distorted books what pleases them - satisfying their innate tendency towards religiosity - and leave what does not please them.

Some Western women have practiced interpretation; interpreting religious texts and loading them with meanings other than their apparent ones, including texts that do not please them and limit their perverted desires. With this selectivity and interpretation, churches have appeared that are specific to lesbian and transgender women, even though their religious texts prohibit fornication and perversion.

The common denominator among these women, with their various shades and types mentioned, is "deification," where the principle of complete submission to God and belief in the perfection of His attributes is not present among Western women. This fragmentation and division resulted from the loss of the compass, especially since the deification of man leads to the idea of "the relativity of truth and falsehood." There is no God with perfect attributes who distinguishes absolute truth and falsehood for them, but man is the center, he is the judge, so truth and falsehood become as numerous as humans, and the matter becomes a relative, vague one.

With the deification of women, perverted desires have been sanctified among perverted women, such as the sanctification of homosexuality and fornication under the name of "sexual freedom" and the resulting abortion of the fetus, which has not completed its divinity in their view. Thus, Western feminist calls come in unison with the freedom of perversion, gender transformation, fornication, and abortion.

The Western woman has entered this den of the hyena, the den of the deification of man and his desires. She entered it or was made to enter it, and she was deceived and tricked, as we saw in the episode "The Liberation of the Western Woman." She could have sought preserved revelation, a sound compass that organizes her relationship with her Lord, herself, and others instead of her distorted religious compass that contributed to her loss. But she did not do so, lost the sound compass, followed her whims, and moved from one error to another.

The Idolatry of Muslim Women: Hidden Images and the Beginning of the Path

This is the story of Westernization, come to the Muslims. This series is directed to you, O Muslim woman, so come let us see the Muslim women "even if they enter the hole of a serpent, you will follow them." For there are Muslim women who will follow Westernization into the hole of idolatry. Muslim women who call themselves Muslims, and yet they enter the hole of idolatry? Yes... Part of the state of subservience to the dominant countries, imitating them in thought, feelings, motivations, standards, and everything, and entering every hole of a serpent they enter.

Of course, the stance of Muslim women towards Islam is not confined to one position:

• There are the great believers, those who submit to Allah wholeheartedly, with knowledge, love, and glorification.
• There are the Muslim women who fall short, falling short in observing the legal boundaries in dealing, in appearance, and otherwise... but they acknowledge their sin to Allah, affirming their servitude to Him.
• There is the Muslim woman who distinguishes well between the rulings of Islam and the poor application of these rulings. She glorifies the rulings of Allah, sees in them wisdom and mercy, and objects to the poor application of matters such as (Qawamah) or (multiple marriages).
• There is the one who is disgusted by some of the rulings of Islam, affected by poor applications from a harsh father, an ungodly husband, systematic media distortion, and stereotypical images that have made her disgusted by some of the rulings. But her disgust is easy to cure because she glorifies Allah, understands the position of servitude to Him, blames herself, and asks for help to love her religion and remove any discomfort from the words of her Lord and the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace be upon him).
• And there is, on the other hand, the idolater who does not feel.

Where are you, O Muslim woman, on this spectrum? We will help you, in this episode, to determine the answer yourself. The word is yours, not about you. And I will not mention any name in this episode; so that the spirits do not rise, and the benefit is not lost in the fervor of partisanship. May Allah honor you, may you think calmly because what is not seen to you now will not issue a judgment against you, nothing will provoke you to respond. Look at yourself to purify her "Indeed, he has succeeded who purifies her" [Ash-Shams:9]. Please do not waste this opportunity.

There are blatant (in English) excessive models of people who claim to be Muslim, and their imitation of Westernization is very clear. So you see organizations titled: (Union of Muslim Lesbians, Gays, and Transgender). And there are the secularists openly, and secularism is -simply- the deification of man. When a secular woman says: that religion should be separated from politics and religion should be confined to the role of worship and personal rituals, and rejects the comprehensiveness of religion, she -simply- sees it as the right of man to control the affair of Allah, and to set boundaries for religion that it does not exceed. And these are the clearest manifestations of the deification of man and his exaltation over Allah.

But our speech is not about those who have entered blindly into the hole of the serpent, but about the Muslim women who have hidden idolatry. They have been affected by Western tendencies and secular calls in the lands of the Muslims, but they still cling to Islam. The danger in this type of idolatry is that it is hidden, but it is for the same reasons and with the same symptoms that we saw with Westernization, even if it is more hidden and less severe. These Muslim women are at the beginning of the path that Westernization took before them, and the matter is a matter of time and accumulation of deviations. And it is possible that the Muslim woman reaches what she did not imagine reaching in a day. And if she is not the one who will reach these ends, then the next generation may.

The Muslim woman we are talking about may not intend to imitate Westernization at all, but she is disgusted by all the models we have seen and looks down on them. But there are seeds of similarity that are capable of growing: losing the compass, deviating from standards (the ruler by which she measures), and following desire. It is possible that they lead the Muslim woman to the same result -like Westernization- and she does not feel it.

Come, O Muslim woman, let us cooperate to see if the seed of idolatry is growing within you, and you do not feel it. Many Muslim women live in conflict. She loves her belonging to Islam, she loves Allah and His Messenger with a general love, but she is hesitant in absolute submission to the command of Allah and His Messenger, and she is not sure that Allah has been just to her. She does not want to leave Islam openly; this takes her out of the circle of psychological safety. The solution she practices -unconsciously- is that she makes centrality for herself and her desires. Of course, she does not call them desires, but she calls them rationality. But she does not notice that she judges the laws of Islam by this rationality. She has never thought in her life to judge this rationality itself. She has never thought if the ruler by which she measures things is a correct ruler, or a product of desires and reactions to the mistakes of others, stereotypical images, the influence of media, films, systematic foreign school education, and projects (Rambo) and (Krazy) that we have talked about. She does not notice that she has made centrality for herself and then tries to reconcile herself, the idolater, with the Lord God.

Let us look at forms of this idolatry, and see with them: "Even if they enter the hole of a serpent, you will follow them" (Sahih al-Bukhari). These forms of idolatry can be summarized in four words: disregard, objection, selectivity, and interpretation.

Forms of Hidden Idolatry Among Muslim Women

1. Turning Away from Learning the Creator's Command

The first form: is turning away from learning the command of your Creator at all. Allah the Almighty says: "And I have not created the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." [Al-Dhariyat: 56]. Worship in its comprehensive sense is submission to Allah in every detail of life. You may pray, taking from the religion only what satisfies your spiritual needs. As for complete submission to Allah's command, you do not want to learn Allah's command at all in order to submit to it. The centrality is for her and her desires. And if she learns Allah's command, it may conflict with her desires, so she avoids learning it altogether.

Good, how does she convince herself that she is not negligent towards her religion? She goes and practices on herself a psychological trick that she is (disgusted). Disgusted with what? With the strict scholars regarding women, with the (male) jurisprudence. She spends her time and effort in criticizing them and in her battle with them; she wastes the search for Allah's command until she obeys it. There are rulings that affect her life and comfort, and she has found that some of those who issue fatwas have been strict in some matters. So she says: perhaps these rulings are also just a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of the religion's texts by the strict scholars. Perhaps (hijab) is not obligatory, perhaps (socializing) is not forbidden. She will not search for the true moderation until she follows it. But you will find her saying: I am not a scholar nor an expert in religion, but it is impossible that the religion is as these people say. I raise questions for which I do not have answers, but it is unreasonable that Islam is like this. My Lord has given me a mind to think with, and the words of these people are not convincing. And by the way, I am quoting here words said by some Muslim women, and I do not invent them. I say them in their meaning so that we do not diagnose the subject.

Good, what next, O Muslim woman? What after criticizing male jurisprudence and the strictness of the strict and the closure of the closed-minded? Those whose jurisprudence - in your opinion - is oppressive, influential, and destructive to the minds of Muslims? Is it reasonable that you spend your time attending Hollywood movies that immerse you in fantasy? And you advise your followers to attend them, with all their psychological and moral harm? Do you go and glorify the positions of Western women such as moderation and openness? Do you go and spread your pictures while you are adorned, Easternized and Westernized, and boast about the number of countries you have visited alone? And if someone criticizes you and advises you that this is forbidden, you react, and perhaps you mock him, considering him to be one of the strict, closed-minded, narrow-minded, and those who fossilize minds. And again: these are practices we see from these Muslim women.

Good, was it not possible - in some of the time you spend on all this - that you learn the command of your Lord yourself so that you know - then inform us - what is true Islam? What is the correct jurisprudence? Not the male, not the strict, nor the closed-minded. Do you not always say: My Lord has given me a mind to think with, and your words are not convincing? Can you not with this mind learn and purify the jurisprudence (the male), and return - directly - to the words of your Lord to tell us what Islam is in reality? What is the word of your Lord actually? Or is your mind capable of criticism but not of construction? If you believe that (the scholars) have misrepresented the religion, do you not have zeal for the religion, so that you improve its learning and representation? When someone tells you: what you are doing is forbidden, and the evidence is such and such... Is the scientific response to bring evidence against evidence? Or is the phrase (you are strict, male) the response to everything?

This is the first style practiced by the woman who has not left her religion explicitly and wants to reconcile her godlessness with the worship of her Creator. Following desire and turning away from learning the religion that opposes desire under the pretext of disgust with those who have misrepresented it.

2. Objecting to the Command of Allah

The second manifestation is objecting to the command of Allah. When a Muslim woman says, for example: Why is it permissible for a man to marry four women; and not permissible for a woman to marry four men? It will be a completely different matter when you ask a question of a Muslim who wants to think about wisdom. But the problem is when you condition knowing the wisdom until you accept the ruling and submit to it. Are you thereby submitting to the command of Allah? Or are you judging the command of Allah to your line, and assuming that your line is sacred? You assumed that the commands of Allah must achieve absolute equality between men and women. If we tell you that the commands of Allah are not a condition to achieve absolute equality, but rather the right, justice, and equality between the sexes in some matters are wrong and oppression. If you then say: I am not convinced (in English) it is not logical.

One of two things: Either you are affirming that this is the command of Allah, but you object to it. Do you not see that this is godlessness? "O you who have believed, do not advance [your opinions] before Allah and His Messenger but fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing." [Al-Hujurat: 1]. And you are advancing your measure of absolute equality on the command of Allah, and you call your desire and your wrong measure rationality, although Allah - whom you believe in - called it ignorance "Or do they seek the judgment of [the time of] ignorance? And who is better in judgment than Allah for a people who are certain [in faith]?" [Al-Ma'idah: 50].

Or you say: This is not the command of Allah, it is impossible that a religion says this is the religion of Allah. Why? - Not convincing. Good, why did you assume that your measures are correct? And did you not suspect that they are false and desires, and that you are measuring with the wrong ruler? Why did you assume that your judgments are sacred? Is this also not godlessness?

3. Interpreting the Command of Allah According to Desires

The third manifestation of godlessness: is interpreting the command of Allah according to desires so that the revelation is amorphous with no features, capable of being shaped according to mood. She does not want to leave her desire, and at the same time she does not want to admit that she is committing a sin. Although if she had confessed to Allah and respected the position of servitude to Him, she might have a place in His saying: "And others have confessed their sins, mixing a righteous deed and another evil. Perhaps Allah will accept their repentance." [At-Tawbah: 102]. But she is not confessing, so she searches for someone who will comfort her that she is not wrong by following her desire, and will give her the legal justification for all this.

Ask yourself why you were pleased with the words of (Adnan Ibrahim) or (Mohammed Shahrur), or (Ali Mansour al-Kayyali) and others, who distort the word from its place and demolish the consensus under the name: (a contemporary vision of Islam), (a new reading of Islam). Search within yourself: what actually happened? Did you accept their words, and the words of others, with the personality of the seeker of truth, submitting to it - whatever it may be - for the sake of Allah the Almighty? Or with the personality of someone disgusted with some rulings? You have preconceived notions and desires that you find it difficult to leave, and you want to search for someone who will comfort you that you are not mistaken, and will give you the legal justification for all this.

And again, all this is not assumptions, but it appeared in the wave of sympathy for (Shahrur) from some feminists. And it turned out that the problem is not just a feminist problem, but rather there is a rejection of religious rulings and they found in Shahrur and his forms an outlet for them under the name: (the renewing scholar for understanding the Quran).

4. Selectivity in Religion

The fourth manifestation of deification is selectivity. A woman takes from the revelation what she likes. If she hears verses instructing women to be modest, she listens attentively, but if she hears something that contradicts her desires, she turns away, objects, or seeks an interpretation of God's commands that is not apparent. Do you know that Allah the Almighty described this behavior and said: "And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, lo, a party of them turn away and decline. But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly" [An-Nur: 48-49]. "But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly" [An-Nur: 49].

What is the diagnosis of this condition? What are the psychological motivations? The verses continue... "Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt? Or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger might wrong them? Nay, it is they who are the wrongdoers" [An-Nur: 50]. Heart disease: its filling with attachment to desires to the point of worship, doubt in Allah's justice and wisdom, and the feeling that Allah does not treat them fairly. The verses continue... "The saying of the believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, is only that they say, 'We hear and obey.' And it is they who are the successful" [An-Nur: 51].

By the way, the reason for the revelation of this verse is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent Juleibib, a young man who was not desired for marriage, to propose to a girl from the Ansar. Her parents hesitated, so the girl said to them, "Are you going to reject the command of the Messenger of Allah? Hand me over to the Messenger of Allah, for he will not waste me." Out of love, honor, respect, and trust in the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), he married her to Juleibib, and her outcome was good.

One of the most important forms of selectivity prevalent among Muslim women is following the religion of humanism. Evaluating ideas, principles, people, and attitudes based on humanistic criteria such as mercy and kindness to others. When you evaluate a person, you evaluate them based on their treatment of humans. Whether they are a disbeliever or a Muslim is of no concern to you. On the contrary, if you praise a person and someone raises the issue that he is an atheist or a polytheist, you get angry, mock, and belittle, because the right of Allah is very trivial to you, but the right of the human is the most important. This is one of the clearest manifestations of deifying the human - yet she convinces herself that this does not contradict Islam. She selects texts of mercy, kindness, and what she sees as more humane, and completely ignores texts of polytheism and faith.

Have you noticed, madam, that these forms of deification are similar to what happened with Western women? Turning away, objecting, interpreting, and being selective. Have you noticed, madam, that the common denominator in all of this is also losing the compass and following desires? When a Muslim woman turns away from learning her religion and is content with criticizing those she considers extremists. When she objects to something in the rulings of the religion. When she follows those who interpret the command of Allah with corrupt interpretations that suit her desires. When she selectively chooses from the religion. The common denominator in all of this is that she loosens her grip on the rope of revelation and walks without a compass, following her desires. And she has heard the saying of Allah: "O you who believe, enter into peace, all of you, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he commands you with evil and immorality" [Al-Baqarah: 208]. That is, enter into Islam with all its details and rulings, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan who will make you enter the hole of the badger as he made the People of the Book before you do things you never imagined you would do.

A Call to Muslim Women: Holding onto Revelation and Dignity in Servitude

But the question, oh Muslim woman: if the West has lost its compass, why are you losing yours? Your religion is not like theirs, and you are better than them. If their religion portrays the Lord as if He seeks to humiliate humans, your religion says about your Lord, glorified and exalted be He: "And He taught Adam the names of all things" [Al-Baqarah: 31]. If their religion portrays the Lord as imperfect and incapable, your religion describes Allah with the attributes of perfection, glory, power, greatness, and distinction from all creatures. If their religion portrays the Lord as vengeful towards women, punishing them with childbirth, your religion makes that a reward for you and a raise in status that you deserve, for which your children should serve you at your feet.

If the Western woman who believed in these distortions has gone astray, and if she who disbelieved in these distortions and turned to atheism has also gone astray, why are you going astray? Have you not seen what we mentioned in the previous episode, about the Islam of Western women when they saw your religion and the compass of the preserved revelation that Allah has blessed you with?

Search within yourself, oh Muslim woman. Are you a believer with an independent personality, free from entering holes? Do you respond and submit out of love, surrender, and honor to the saying of your Lord: "It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, to have any choice in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly gone astray into clear error" [Al-Ahzab: 36]. Or has centrality become for yourself and your desires? And the rejection of all authority has extended to you to include the rejection of the authority of Allah the Most High? Do you have the principle of submission to Allah in all things? "Say, 'Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds'" [Al-An'am: 162]. Do you have this submission? With the acknowledgment of shortcoming if you disobey? Or do you content yourself with practicing some of the religion to the extent that achieves for you psychological stability and the feeling of contentment - among the needs of the deified human - and convince yourself that you love Islam, but it is the trimmed and detailed Islam to fit your whims?

Of course, we - oh brothers - when we say a deified Muslim woman, this is an inherently contradictory statement. For Islam is the opposite of deification entirely. Islam is the Islam of submission to Allah and submission to Him, and considering the status of servitude to Him, glorified and exalted be He. When we say a Muslim woman who deifies her whims, this is a contradictory statement because Islam is the opposition to whims "And as for he who feared the standing before his Lord and prevented the soul from desire, then indeed, Paradise will be the refuge" [An-Naziat: 40-41].

In conclusion: this deification, what will it achieve for you, oh Muslim woman? Will it achieve for you happiness? Dignity? Will it remove injustice from you? You can foresee the future by looking at those who have gone to the hole of deification: the Western woman. What was the fate of the Western woman who deified herself? Did she achieve the dignity of God in reality? We saw the answer in the episode "Liberation of the Western Woman" how her deification only added to her burden, humiliation, and degradation, in accordance with the saying of Allah the Most High: "And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depraved life" [Ta-Ha: 124]. He who turns away from servitude to Allah and deifies his whims - whether man or woman - his fate is humiliation, in accordance with the saying of Allah the Most High: "Do you not see that to Allah prostrate whatever in the heavens and whatever on the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars and the mountains, the trees, and the moving creatures, and many of the people? And many are those upon whom the punishment is justified. And whoever Allah humiliates - then there is for him no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allah does what He wills" [Al-Hajj: 18]. The Western woman who deified herself and refused true servitude to Allah ended up becoming a slave to humans, as we have seen.

This episode - oh honorable men and women - comes within a series for women to organize their relationship with their Lord, with themselves, and with the people around them. The conclusion of our episode today: do not abandon the compass of revelation, nor loosen your grip on its rope, nor seek solutions to your problems outside of it. And seek dignity in adhering to the position of servitude to Allah, the Mighty, the Wise "Whoever desires honor - then to Allah belongs all honor" [Fatir: 10]. Do not listen to those who tell you to bear humiliation. And at the same time, do not listen to those who prepare for you that dignity is outside of your Islam. You can live with dignity and honor with your religion, and only with your religion.

But there may be in your heart, after this, some aversion to religious rulings and doubt in their justice. Your heart is in conflict, you realize that you are in the position of servitude and you believe in a general belief in the justice and wisdom of Allah, but there is still in the heart something of some of His rulings. We will work together in the next episode to cleanse our hearts of this embarrassment, by the permission of Allah.

And in conclusion, let us all remember - oh Muslim woman - that Allah has guided us to ask Him for the correct compass to walk on guidance and not to go astray with the astray and not to join them in the hole of the jackal. So we read every day in our prayer "Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray" [Al-Fatihah: 6-7].

And peace be upon you all and the mercy of Allah.
