Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim...
Assalamu'alaikum..
I have this very small thought and feeling of insecure to ever live on Earth. recently, in my country, I read a lot of news regarding sex abuse. Of all things, sex crime is the most fear to all women, where nobody on earth would be pleased with. Nobody would consent such a crime to happen to themselves.
Here in Malaysia, or even in the world, men are always dominant. Somehow when the wold has modernized, women are no longer belittled. But then still, sex abuse happens. Men abuse women, rare cases do happen where women abuse men.
In my religion, the law has put forth 'hudud' which means the bound where generally, for sex criminals, the punishment is a hundred lashes in public and a year of isolation. However, the punishments applies only if there are 4 witnesses of the crime. Hudud also applies for theft, but with different punishment. Once a theft is done and is found guilty, one hand would be cut. This law isn't done in my country for the country is a multireligious country and some things it is not fair that the punishments are different for certain race.
Well, still, in my opinion, since the rapers think that the punishment are too little for them, they repititively, inhumanly and without right of mind, carry out sex abusive crimes towards women. Plus, in my society, a raped women are usually isolated for having no dignity any longer. MashaaAllah. The innocent women must have went though such a harsh life being sexually abused and abandoned in the same time. Imagine if the hudud is carried out, people will thing twice, maybe more than that to even approach a woman, or if it involves theft, to steal any thing.
I'm afraid what if it happens to me, or what if it happens to the persons I know, Na'uthubillahi min azzaalik... Hopefully not. What would be our future be like? I could not imagine. Please Ya Allah keep all women safe. Open their hearts to maintain and really take care of their dignity. The women showing off of their body, in my opinion are actually the reason to why sex crimes are happening. Yes. Men are bad too (some of them), men are of cruelty and lust too, but they can be tamed when women take care of their dignity, abide the syari'a.
I wonder, why do the media encourage women to show off their body for a certain addvertisement?? Why not show off men's body?? Why are women being "slaves" to the media, whilst the so called famous company gets the rest of the cents and the models gets a little tiny winy fraction of the profit which was mainly assisted by that particular add??
Allah has put forth the syari'a that women and men shouldn't socialize especially when not necessary. That is for a reason. The syari'a asks women to cover all their body. That is for a reason. The syari'a asks men to lower thier gaze, that is for a reason. The syari'a told us that women shouln't look like men and men shouldn't look like woment. That is for a reason.
AND ONE OF THE REASON IS THIS. SEX CRIME. IF SYARI'A IS OBEYED PROPERLY, INSYAAALLAH THE PROBLEM WILL REDUCE AND EVENTUALLY SOLVED, BIIZNILLAH, IF ALLAH WILLS.
