May we ask the secularists who have lectured us about women's rights, to the extent that they condemn the status of women in Islamic law and mock some verses and hadiths, saying that Islam degrades women? May we ask them: Where is their voice now?
Where is their sensitivity towards women whose husbands were killed in recent events? Who will provide for these women and their orphaned children? Will we hear these "liberated, enlightened" secularists calling for attention to these sisters? Or will the state, quite the opposite, persecute and punish anyone who provides for them, as it did in the days of "Hosni," to make the sisters taste hunger and poverty and force them to beg for sustenance from others?
Oh secularists, you who mocked Islam for allowing a husband to discipline his wife (with a non-injurious beating) when she is disobedient; if you are disgusted by a husband beating his wife in her home, unseen by others and without humiliation, where is your condemnation and disgust when you see her being beaten and humiliated in the street by soldiers and thugs?
Where is your concern for a woman's feelings when she sees her husband arrested, his face "covered in oil," burned, his body swollen from torture, and his chest "ripped open"? And the mother when she sees her son like this, where is her right now? Or is she not a woman to you?
It seems that those who try to visit their relatives and taste suffering, they and their children, have no rights with you, and those who want to walk in "the forbidden" are the only ones who have rights with you!
You who did not like the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him - even though he commanded the son to be close to his mother and said to him: "Hold to her side, for there is paradise" - will you criticize the soldiers whom we saw mothers kneeling before (pleading)?
You who mocked our Prophet, peace be upon him, when a man asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, who is most deserving of my good companionship?" He said: "Your mother." He said: "Then who?" He said: "Then your mother." He said: "Then who?" He said: "Then your mother." Will we hear from you a word about the soldiers who have deprived mothers of their children and burned their hearts for them? Or are these women not human and do they have no rights with you? O Allah, to You we complain.
The breezes of the nights shook me, so the specter of bitter pain appeared in my mind. The cries of the days made me weep, and a moan that grew around a shackle and a prisoner.
