What is real freedom?

1 - Most of people believe that freedom is only 
when there is no slavery or oppression of one human 
over another. Islam, although believes in this 
concept, has a higher definition of freedom. That 
is freedom from slavery of your desires and 
ambitions, and that is the worst slavery. For 
example, one may be the slave of money or sex or 
power and he or she will commit all types of crimes 
and oppressions because of this slavery. The crime 
ratio in US and Europe is higher than elsewhere 
because of this type of slavery. And 
interestingly, most of the people in this type of 
slavery do not know they are slaves.

2 - Is obedience a type of slavery?

If children obey their parents or students obey 
there teachers or wives obey their husbands this 
type of obedience is because of love. So obedience 
is nothing but real love. And love is nothing but 
obedience. When a wife obeys her husband that is 
because of love of Allah (God) and also because of 
love of husband. Because marriage is an agreement 
done for the pleasure of Allah.

3 - Marriage is not only lust but it is great 
training for the purification of soul that is why 
in Islam after marriage the sawab (reward) of one 
rak’at will be equal to seventy rak’at because here 
both parties are destroying animalistic character 
like selfishness and sacrificing for one another.

4 - What is real pleasure?

Most of people think the pleasure only relates to 
the body but real pleasure is satisfaction of soul. 
For example, one can do this experiment anytime, if 
one loves a type of food or a type of cloth very 
much if he or she happen to give that to a needy 
person this type of pleasure is much more 
satisfying and permanent.

5 - What is the aim of our creation?

When one person does not understand the aim of his 
or her creation he will not understand the rights 
of women or men. When aim of our creation is 
getting love and knowledge of Allah (God) by his 
obedience and worship so when wife is obeying the 
order of her husband because of her love of Allah, 
she is reaching the aim of her creation.

6 - An example of Islam’s beauty is at the time of 
feeding her baby. It is obligatory for men to pay 
her is she demands so.
hts of women or men. When aim of our creation is 
getting love and knowledge of Allah (God) by his 
obedience and worship.
