The Arabic word for slave is ABD which literally means worshipper, drived from the verb ABADA which means he worshipped. Before Islam, the word was used for slaves who used to serve Masters in the society. When Islam came, not only did it strongly and strictly prohibit the strong from making the weak worship them, but also the weak from worshipping the strong. |

 ... from the verses of The Noble Qur'an
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Indeed, We have created man on the most excellent of patterns, Then sent him down to the lowest of the low, Except those who believe and do good deeds.( Qur’an, 95:4-6)

 ... from the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man instructing his brother about pudency. Upon this the Prophet remarked: Pudency is an ingredient of Iman (faith).

My story begins in the fall of 2003. I was taking a writing class in college and was assigned to write a paper on a controversial issue. I chose “Religion and Women's Rights.” I chose this topic mainly to annoy my evangelical writing instructor. |
