Yet the question of the meaning of life is the most important question that a person can ask, and the realization that life might be lived differently is bound to provoke a depressive reaction, a harsh winter that yet may be followed by a beautiful spring.

If we live long enough, it happens to us all: The world, full of cold indifference to our golden-calf agendas, infiltrates our beating heart with its ragged claws—and pulls. With a single gesture, the ego is uprooted, leaving our bare awareness of self throbbing in monolog: “Feel! CONNECT!! Change! GROW!!” Eventually, we all stumble into conflicts that trigger us, challenging our self-awareness…

In myth, even the greatest heroes must meet their tragic end - although, unlike the rest of us, they have at least lived.

EQUAL RIGHTS IN ISLAM

According to Islam,God Almighty has given man this right of equality as a birthright. Therefore no man should be discriminated against on the ground of the colour of his skin, his place of birth, the race or the nation in which he was born.

Gender Equality in Islam

In gender equality conversations it is often insinuated that in Islam there is no gender equality.

The crux of Islamic teachings is that as men, we’re hardwired by nature and confirmed by divine design and historically through the ages to do three main things: to provide, to protect, and to lead. We do this not for our own sake, not to feed our egos, but in service to others; our families and society and country. Human beings are not identical units. 

The fact that we are similar also means we are not the same. We’re not interchangeable pieces of social machinery. Equality is based not in political ideology but in the reality of the differences and mutual dependencies of real men and women. As men and women we are designed to need each other, not replicate each other. Because we have deviated from divine design and intent, it is the key reason why modern culture is so conflicted about equality of men and women.

In this article, I will explore some of the issues often raised and address the general question: Does Islam discriminate against women or men in its teachings? [*]

What is equality?

In order to understand this issue, we first have to determine what it really means to be equal? Are we talking about absolute equality when it comes to gender relations? If we are talking about absolute equality, it must be clear that many (perhaps, all) atheists, secularists, and feminists do not propose absolute equality of genders. 

Virtually everyone concedes that the two genders need to be treated differently in at least some life activities. Take sports for instance. If absolute equality was the goal in sports, we would be having tournaments with men and women playing together or against each other. But this is not the case at all, as sex verification tests take place to ensure there is no inequality by having a man pretending to be a woman playing in a given sport. 

Here, “equality” would be defined as women playing against women for a level-playing field. Had equality been absolute, such tests would not have existed. Their existence shows that all of us are agreed that nature has given different tendencies, aptitudes, strengths and personalities, to men and women.

Now, let us take a more specific example that is also related to sports: Physical strength. In this regard, it would be wrong to say that all men are stronger than women, but it would be correct to say that men in general are stronger than women, given that the term “strength” here is being used to refer to physiological, muscular strength and not to other kinds of strengths like dealing with trauma, surviving illness, etc. where women are in fact stronger. 

Hence, if men entered into sports competitions against women, they would have an unfair advantage. The issue is not then one of gender equality in the absolute sense. Instead, it is an issue of gender equality in the best sense.

What that means is that it must be acknowledged that each gender has strengths and weaknesses that may or may not overlap. In certain respects, one gender has an advantage over the other, while in other respects, the other gender has the advantage.

 As one psychiatrist, Dr. Neel Burton, puts it, “biological advantages and disadvantages are more or less equally distributed between the sexes”. In spite of these differences, God Almighty declares in the Holy Quran:

وَ مَنۡ یَّعۡمَلۡ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنۡ ذَکَرٍ اَوۡ اُنۡثٰی وَ ہُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓئِکَ یَدۡخُلُوۡنَ الۡجَنَّۃَ وَ لَا یُظۡلَمُوۡنَ نَقِیۡرًا

But whoso does good works, whether male or female, and is a believer, such shall enter Heaven, and shall not be wronged even as much as the little hollow in the back of a date-stone (Holy Qur’an 4:125).

In other words, as far as one’s spirituality and relationship with God is concerned, there is indeed absolute equality between the genders.

Understanding Gender Roles

What many see as inequality between the genders in Islam is actually equality in the best form. Due to the fact that women are born with the ability to give birth to children, and are naturally better equipped to care for a newborn’s needs, Islam has assigned them a more central role in terms of the upbringing of children. 

This does not mean that men do not have any role in this regard. It only means that the father has a supportive role while the mother has the primary role and responsibility in taking care of young children.

Conversely, Islam assigns the role of supporting the family financially on the husband/father, and the husband bears the heavy responsibility of ensuring that the family is well taken care of. This is laid out in the following verse of the Holy Quran:

وَ لَہُنَّ مِثۡلُ الَّذِیۡ عَلَیۡہِنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ ۪ وَ لِلرِّجَالِ عَلَیۡہِنَّ دَرَجَۃٌ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ عَزِیۡزٌ حَکِیۡمٌ

The husband is responsible for providing all the needs and amenities for his wife”, clearly stated in the following section of a verse of the Holy Qur’an:

(Holy Qur’an, 2:234) وَ عَلَی الۡمَوۡلُوۡدِ لَہٗ رِزۡقُہُنَّ وَ کِسۡوَتُہُنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ

While the man has been bestowed certain abilities that lay this responsibility on him, he is also taught to treat his wife with the utmost kindness. 

The Holy Qur’an enjoins that if a man has given his wife a mountain of gold as a gesture of his affection and kindness, he is not supposed to take it back in case of divorce. This shows the respect and honour Islam gives to a woman; in fact, men are in certain respects like their servants. They have been commanded in the Holy Qur’an:

(Holy Qur’an, 4:20)وَ عَاشِرُوۡہُنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ

i.e., consort with your wives in such a manner that every reasonable person can see how kind and gentle you are to your wife.

In other words, this teaching of Islam shows the tremendous amount of respect and dignity that is granted to women in Islam. In one way, the men are taught to be like servants of women. If anything, this teaching can be argued to have placed men at a disadvantage, a far cry from suggesting that women are being mistreated here. 

In essence, Islam respects the different capacities and abilities of men and women, and provides them roles that are best suited for them.

The man’s role then is to be the breadwinner and provider of the family, while the woman’s role is to ensure the family unit is strengthened and children are brought up in the best environment. 

These are the primary roles of men and women, which of course does not mean that their other roles should be completely dismissed. 

As their primary roles are being fulfilled, women can work in a profession of their choice if they wish to earn a personal income. Similarly, men should play their part in the proper upbringing of children and providing their family the best treatment, as the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam)  said:

“The best among you is the one who is best in treatment of his family”

What to do when a person is depressed

It is a common disease in modern society to suffer from depression. A WHO estimate suggests that 350 million people are depressed worldwide. Your loved one, family member, or friend can contract the disease. To make love last longer, arm yourself with knowledge before you love a depressed person. When caring for and dealing with people with depression, especially when we love them, there are many things to keep in mind because love can have enormous psychological effects. their. The personalities of people with depression are very strong Neel Burton, a philosopher and psychiatrist, explains that depression can be a search for meaning and purpose in life. As a person struggling with depression, you can compare them to someone who is trying to achieve more meaning in their life by attempting to fix and improve many aspects of it. Further, depression also prepares you for the future. Depression is difficult to admit unless you are strong-willed. The drive to find out things in life is also a powerful motivator. As zing of depression, people can discover the hidden treasures of the soul. The sudden questioning of depressed people often triggers their depression Often depression is accompanied by a desire for solitude. The spiritual medicine that can help the patient most effectively is a visit and encouragement. It is believed that depression is caused by loneliness, lack of family affection, and lack of social relationships. It is for this reason that people with depression tend to want more attention, care, and attention. Their desire for solitude does not mean they want to be abandoned. If you love someone who is depressed, you shouldn't avoid them, but build your feelings toward them and care for them. Family, friends, and especially love, are extremely effective natural medicine for depression.

Other psychological factors that can lead to ‘laziness’ are fear and hopelessness. Some people fear success, or don’t have enough self-esteem to feel comfortable with success, and laziness is their way of sabotaging themselves. William Shakespeare conveyed this idea much more eloquently and succinctly in Antony and Cleopatra: ‘Fortune knows we scorn her most when most she offers blows.’ Other people fear not success but failure, and laziness is preferable to failure because it is at one remove. ‘It’s not that I failed,’ they can tell themselves, ‘it’s that I never tried.’ [...] There’s a contradiction here. We are predisposed to laziness and dream of being idle; at the same time, we always want to be doing something, always need to be distracted. How are we to resolve this paradox? Perhaps what we really want is the right kind of work, and the right balance. In an ideal world, we would do our own work on our own terms, not somebody else’s work on somebody else’s terms. We would work not because we needed to, but because we wanted to, not for money or status, but (at the risk of sounding trite) for peace, justice and love.

In the absence of confidence, courage takes over. Confidence operates in the realm of the known, courage in that of the unknown, the uncertain, and the fearsome.

Many ‘normal’ people suffer from not being hypersane: they have a restricted worldview, confused priorities, and are wracked by stress, anxiety and self-deception. As a result, they sometimes do dangerous things, and become fanatics or fascists or otherwise destructive (or not constructive) people. In contrast, hypersane people are calm, contained and constructive. It is not just that the ‘sane’ are irrational but that they lack scope and range, as though they’ve grown into the prisoners of their arbitrary lives, locked up in their own dark and narrow subjectivity. Unable to take leave of their selves, they hardly look around them, barely see beauty and possibility, rarely contemplate the bigger picture – and all, ultimately, for fear of losing their selves, of breaking down, of going mad, using one form of extreme subjectivity to defend against another, as life – mysterious, magical life – slips through their fingers.

"SSRIs are said to exert their antidepressant effect by preventing the reuptake of serotonin by brain cells. Since 1987, further classes of antidepressants have been developed, such as the noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (NARIs) and the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). These more recent types of antidepressant are often used as second-line treatments if treatment with an SSRI has failed, but their precise role in the management of depression remains to be established."

Reminiscence Therapy

Re-watching movies and shows, or replaying video games, it’s the easiest method of escape, with the highest amount of psychological reward. The funny thing is, while I write this article, all I can think about is the amount of you that could be reading this with Grey’s Anatomy or Harry Potter playing in the background!

Contrary to popular belief, re-watching movies and shows or replaying video games is actually a good thing! So, if you are someone that participates in this behaviour, you can relax your shoulders and let go of the guilt for watching episodes of Friends on repeat or racking up 300 hours on Animal Crossing! For those of you that like to watch new things, or only ever pick-up new video games, I’m going to give you my 3 reason why you should try replaying and or re-watching your favourite movie or game!

Here’s my 3 reasons why you should try re-watching or replaying some of your favourite shows, movies or video games:

1. “Human beings love predictability.”

This quote was said by British psychiatrist Neel Burton M.D. This is true in my opinion because with predictability, comfort follows. This stems from the idea that not having to predict the events of a newly viewed movie, equals not having to take in new information into your brain as you’re going. Obviously relaxing you and reducing depression, anxiety and stress.

2. Nostalgia.

You cannot tell me you don’t enjoy nostalgia. I don’t care who you are! One of my favourite Movie series to re-watch is Princess Diaries. I’ve loved those movies ever since the first time I saw them. The happiness that hits me when I get nostalgia from those movies is undeniable! What movie, or video games makes you feel like this?

3. Reassurance.

When sitting and curling up with your favourite show on Netflix or an old video game on an old console, it can give us a sense of reassurance in life. Participating in the action of re-watching or replaying can let our brains know that we’ve had good moments in our lives and lend us a new and positive perspective in that moment of time.

To end off I’m giving you a call-to-action reader: try re-watching your old Barbie movies that are collecting dust, or maybe you have a DS tucked in your closet! And if you do, please go save your ninten-dogs you’ve been neglecting for the last 15 years! Bottomline this is a sign to not feel guilty for only watching and playing the same things over and over again if you do that! Again, I hope I could again put a topic that could use more compassion into a simpler perspective!
