DR.ZAKIR NAIK
PRESENTER
M.USAMA

2. Brotherhood based on blood relationship
Brotherhood based on regions
Brotherhood based on race
Brotherhood based on caste
Brotherhood based on creed etc
But all type of brotherhood are lemmatised
Islam believes on Universal brotherhood

3.  The verses of Glorious Qur’an on brotherhood are
Surah Hujurat Chapter No.49, Verse No.13 states,
‘O human kind, we have created you from a single
pair of male and female, and have divided you
into nations and tribes, so that you shall recognize
each other (not that you shall despise each
other), verily the most honoured in the sight of
Allah (swt) is the person who has Taqwa (who
fears Allah and is Righteous), Allah (swt) is all
knowing and well acquainted with all things.’

4.  Glorious Qur’an in Surah Ar-Rum verse.
22, that:
 ‘And among His signs is the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and the variations in
your languages, and your colours: Verily in
that are signs for those who know.’

5.  Glorious Qur’an, in Surah Israa, Ch. 17, Verse
70:
 ‘We have honoured the sons of Adam’
 Allah does not say that He has honoured only
the Arabs or the Americans or a particular race.
He states that He has honoured all the children
of Adam, irrespective of
race, caste, colour, creed or gender.

6.  While there are many religions that believe that
humankind originated from a single pair - Adam
and Eve (peace be upon them), there some faiths
that say, that it is because of the sin of the woman
(Eve - may Allah be pleased with her) that the
humans are born in sin. They blame only on the
woman, which is Eve, for the downfall of human
beings.
 The Qur’an speaks about the story of Adam and
Eve (peace be upon them) in several chapters, but
in all the places, the blame is placed equally on
both -Adam and Eve (peace be upon them).

7.  According to Surah Araf, Ch. 7 : Verses 19 to 27
Both of them disobeyed Allah (swt), both of
them repented, and both were forgiven.
 Both are equally blamed for the mistake. There
is not a single verse in the Glorious
Qur’an, which puts the blame only on Eve
(may Allah be pleased with her).

8.  In Surah Taha, Ch. No. 20, V. No. 121, it is
stated that Adam (pbuh) disobeyed Allah
(swt).
 Certain faith, on the other hand state that
because Eve disobeyed God, it is she who is
responsible for the sin of humankind’. Hence
God cursed the woman, and said that she will
bear labour pains. This means that pregnancy
is a curse.
 Islam of course does not agree with this unjust
view.

9.  In Surah Nisa, Ch. No. 4, V. No. 1, Allah states:
‘And (reverence) the wombs (that bore you).’
 In Islam, pregnancy does not degrade a woman
- it uplifts a woman. In Surah Luqman, Ch.
31, V. No. 14, it is stated that:
 ‘And we have enjoined on man (to be good) to
his parents. In travail upon travail did his
mother bear him, and in years twain was his
weaning.’

10.  The Qur’an says in Surah, Ahqaf, Ch. 46, V. No.
15...’We have enjoined on man to be kind to his
parents. In pain did his mother bear him, and
in pain did she give him birth.’
 Islam states that men and women are created
equal.

11.  According to a Hadith mentioned in Sahih
Bukhari, Vol.No. 8, in the Book of Adab, Chapter
2, Hasith No. 2:
 ‘A person came to Prophet Mohammed (saw), and
asked him, ‘Who is the person who deserves the
maximum love and companionship in this world ?’
 The Prophet replied, ‘Your mother.’
The man asked, Who next?’
The Prophet said, ‘Your mother.’
The man asked, ‘After that who?’
The Prophet repeated for the third time, ‘Your
mother.’
The man asked, ‘After that who?’
Then the Prophet said, ‘Your father.

12.  So, 75% or 3/4 of the love and companionship
of the children are due to the mother and only
25% or 1/4 of the love and companionship
goes to the father. In other words, the mother
gets the gold medal, she gets the silver
medal, as well as the bronze medal. The father
has to be satisfied with a mere consolation
prize.

13.  In Islam, men and women are equal - but
equality does not mean identicality. There are
many misconceptions about the status of
women in Islam. These can be removed if one
studies the authentic sources of knowledge of
Islam and its teachings - the Glorious Qur’an
and the Sahih Hadith.

14.  student ‘A’ and ‘B’ get the highest marks in a subject - 80 out of 100.
 The question paper consisted of 10 questions, each of 10 marks.
 In the first answer student ‘A’ gets 9 out of 10, student ‘B’ gets 7 out of 10.
So in question 1 student ‘A’ has a degree of advantage than student ‘B’.
 In question 2, student ‘B’ gets 9 out of 10, and student ‘A’ gets 7 out of 10.
So in question 2, student ‘B’ has a degree of advantage, than student ‘A’.
 In the remaining 8 questions, both get 8 out of 10, and if you total the
marks of both the students, both get 80 out of 100.
 So if you analyze, both student ‘A’ and ‘B’ have got over all equal marks.
 But in answers to some questions, student ‘A’ has a degree of advantage
and in answers to some other questions, student ‘B’ has a degree of
advantage - but in terms of overall marks, both are equal.
 Similarly in Islam, men and women are equal.

15.  Brotherhood in Islam does not only mean that
the same sexes are equal. ‘Universal
Brotherhood’ in Islam means, that besides
race, caste, and creed, even the sexes are overall
equal. Men and women are equal in Islam, but
in some aspects, men have a degree of
advantage while in some other aspects, women
have a degree of advantage - but overall both
are equal.

16.  For example, if a robber enters my house, I will
not say, ‘I believe in women’s rights, and I
believe in women’s liberation and therefore my
sister, my wife, my mother, should go and fight
the robber.’

17.  Allah says in Surah Nisa, Ch. 4, V 34, ‘God has
given the one (man) more strength than the
other’’. Men have more strength than the
women.’
