The Perception of Woman as Fitna in Traditional Islamic Culture

Abstract

One of the most discussed topics in Islamic Civilization and Culture is “women”. This discussion is perhaps one the oldest in human history. It seems that humanity has discussed the topic of woman based on two reasons and pushed them into the background: the strength of woman is weak compared to men; and woman’s food is provided by man. When Islam was born, Islam did not accept the disparagement of woman because of these reasons. The Quran as well as the Prophet Muhammad changed this situation in woman’s favor. When it comes to women, it can be said that the Quran and life of the Prophet Muhammad endeavored to raise the position of woman.

However, after the Prophet Muhammad’s death, the situation changed to the detriment and opposition of woman. Eventually, woman was considered as fitna that lead man astray. The sayings of Prophet Muhammad were used as evidence in this regard despite the fact that the Prophet Muhammad had no such intent in this sense. Warnings of the Prophet Muhammad that highlighted the weakness of man were used as evidence that woman were a fitna.

It appears that there are different perceptions of human, man and woman’s disposition based on this issue. It is expected that the creation of man is superior to that of the creation of women and that women are innately weak. In that case, firstly it must be revealed that the perception of the Quran and sound hadith about the discernment of humans is separate for woman and man, it must then be studied from the negative inversion aspect of views about woman. It must be done to pull this issue to affirmative perception like in era of happiness, and for reconsidering the perceptions of our age.

This article is a study that it is based on object-orientated knowledge and demonstrated that the hadiths that were narrated from Prophet Muhammad can be understood differently and interpreted under certain conditions and antiquity.
