WOMAN UNDER NON-ISLAMIC CIVILIZATIONS

Humanity's affliction and the cause of its tragedy under the modernmaterialistic culture stems from the crisis of thought, the ideological loss, together with confused concepts and ideas, which impose weird attitudes, limiting outlook toward things around and rigidly defining fellowmen and society in an absurd manner.

If a researcher or an analyst casts a passing glance at the natureand appearance of the social, economic and psychological conditions inthe contemporary ignorant materialistic culture, he will immediatelyrecognize the tragic pictures of human sufferings, injustice,suppression, loss and deprivation in this complex civilization.

By tracing the origin of these social, psychological and intellectualcatastrophes to their historical roots, one may realize that these arestrongly linked to the superstitious attitudes of the history ofignorance on this planet.

They draw a sketch whose lines passingacross the dimension of the times of ignorance and cutting through thevacuum of the contemporary period, form the biggest circle ofmankind's cultural confusion and loss, both mentally and spiritually.

They illustrate a disfigured image whose inborn nature has beenpolluted, and whose life has deviated from the law of human nature andthe path of righteousness and justice.

The figure emerges of a confused personality, devoid of anyhumanistic values and concepts and unable to cultivate or express itstrue identity and its sound innate self.

From these concepts of distorted values and relations, stemming fromthe depths of the history of ignorance and pouring into the basin ofthe modern materialistic culture, the deviated theories about man.

woman, sex, family life, social relations, etc.

have been formed.

The history of these concepts, values and relations presents a tragicpicture of humanity and its brutal behavior that offends the verylaw of life, contrary to man's innate nature, miserably degrading thewoman to a position which does not suit her natural self and upsetsthe social balance and the equation of man-woman relations.
