The story of women's suffering in the time of Moses, peace be upon him
The suffering of women in Medea society
When Moses reached the age of God, the crowds of Pharaoh’s family conspired against him
The advisor advised him to leave the country
He, peace be upon him, went to Media
And when he arrived in Medea
The first scene he saw was what God told us by saying
When the water of Midian came, he found a nation of people watering it
And besides him, he found two women fleeing
A strange sight
It has connotations that indicate the nature of the people in the city of Media
This nature was not accepted by Moses, peace be upon him
He found men providing their cattle and livestock to drink from the well water
And besides him, he found two women defending their livestock from the water
The significance of this scene shows us part of the suffering of women in Medea society
This scene shows the nature of men who have no mercy on women
They do not help them water the livestock
This means harshness and severity in the nature of men whose souls were not broken by the sight of the two women’s suffering with their sheep.
This harshness and intensity that appeared in this scene
It indicates the nature of men's treatment of women in Median society
Whether this woman is a wife, daughter, or sister
Or any other woman in general
It may be the same as dealing with the mother
In the story of the man who saw the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, kissing Al-Hassan
Evidence that kissing is a sign of mercy
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
Before the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Al-Hassan bin Ali
And with him was Al-Aqra’ bin Habsin Al-Tamimi sitting
Al-Aqra’ said, “I have ten children, and I have not kissed any of them.”
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, looked at him and then said
He who does not have mercy will not have mercy
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, she said
A Bedouin came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said:
You accept boys, but we do not accept them
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Or I hope for you that God will remove mercy from your heart
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
These hadiths indicate that not kissing children is evidence of removing compassion from the heart
He who does not kiss the child often does not enjoy kissing his wife
Because harshness and severity prevent him from doing that
So his family comes without foreplay or introduction
If we imagine this harshness in the men of Medea
We can imagine the severity of the suffering of these men's wives
In the case of dry cohabitation, one of the introductions
Dryness of emotion in daily dealings with the wife
It is a great psychological suffering
And it continues with this type of couple
One of the meanings of the scene that Moses, peace be upon him, saw
Weak womanhood among the men of Media
Otherwise, how would they be happy to see two women?
They suffer from sheep puffiness
To restore the well from which men draw
Then it does not move them at all
Weak chivalry is usually accompanied by weak jealousy
On the incest of women
If a man's virility is weak and he is jealous of his wives
Society perished
There is no denying the evil if it appears
There is no enjoining good if he abandons it
The feelings of this type of men become
We are insensitive to the evils of women in society
Or mistreatment of them
One of the connotations of the scene is that this is a bad trait
It is weak chivalry and jealousy
A general characteristic of the men of Media
Not one of them moved in the face of the suffering of the two women
He did not condemn the situation
With this scene repeated daily in front of them
Watering livestock is not done once a year
But it is hard daily work
This indicates that frequent touching deadens the senses
Did the honorable sister realize the woman’s suffering?
Who lives in a society where men are not jealous of their women
They do not have the courage to alleviate women's suffering
That is, if this was suffering
Or defend it from the oppression of men
God Almighty
Hold society responsible for addressing women's problems
If she disagrees with her husband
And he said
And if you fear a rift between them
So they sent an arbitrator from his family
And an arbiter of its people
If he wants to fix it
May God grant them success
Indeed, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware
So he addressed God with his words
Even if you fear the wise people of society and the elders of the people
Those who have authority in society
Ibn al-Arabi, may God have mercy on him, said
As for who said?
The addressee is the couple
He does not understand the Book of God as we presented
As for who said?
He is the authority, he is the truth
And the Almighty said
If you fear that He will not uphold God’s limits
There is no sin on them if it is ransomed
Muhammad Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
Wing means sin
From a misdemeanor meaning money
Ransomed means saving the soul with money given to save it
And protect her from harm
Its origin is from redemption
Redemption means that a person protects himself from calamity through what he makes
The speech is in the verse
Either it is for the group of believers
In that they cooperate with each other
So they found evil between the spouses
Or it may be a speech to a group of couples
Who was between them and their women
What to fear with him
That both of them do not live up to the limits God has set for marital life
The speech is to permit taking and redemption
In my opinion, we should give the speech to the community of believers the first priority
It is upon the one who knows what is between the spouses
To intervene with advice, guidance, and explaining God’s rule
Therefore, the speech was general to the community of believers
By saying: If you fear that they will not uphold God’s limits
Denying the sin of taking is specific to both spouses
Therefore, he said, “There is no blame on them for what she ransomed for.”
Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Tarifi said
The second fear in the verse is the fear of someone other than spouses
Sultan means the highest leadership in society
She intervenes to treat a woman’s problem if she disagrees with her husband
Whether due to her husband’s injustice towards her or her disobedience
Although the woman has family who can stand with her and support her
However, God Almighty wanted society to bear the burden of correcting the situation
It does not stand idly by in the face of women’s oppression or disobedience
If God commands the wise people of society to intervene to treat a special problem between spouses
Protecting the family from disintegration
Protecting society from oppression or corruption of women is a matter of whether or not
If men in society have lost their chivalry and jealousy over women
Who improves the conditions of society?
Who will defend women if they are wronged?
Who will guide a woman to the truth if she has deviated?
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
