Women in the The Quran

    11. Hud

  1. Lot offers his daughters to a mob of angel rapers. 11:78
  2. 111. Palm Fibre

  3. Abu Lahab will die. His wealth won't save him. He'll be plunged into a flaming fire. And his wife, the wood carrier, will have a halter of palm fiber around her neck. 111:1-5
  4. 12. Joseph

  5. "The guile of you women ... is very great." 12:28
  6. 15. Al-Hijr

  7. Lot offers his daughters to a mob of angel rapers. 15:71
  8. 2. The Cow

  9. Virgins await those who enter paradise. 2:25
  10. It's OK to have sex with your wives during Ramadan (at least after sunset). In fact you must "hold intercourse with them." All of them. It is your sacred Muslim duty. 2:187
  11. Next Allah gets down to the really important things in life. Things we all wonder about from time to time. Like should I marry a few idolatresses? Is an Islamic concubine better than a really hot Christian woman? Should I refuse to give my daughter to a Jewish man until he becomes a Muslim? And who should I invite to the Fire anyway? 2:221
  12. Menstruation is a filthy disease. All good Muslim men should stay the hell away from menstruating women And for God sakes, don't have sex with them while they're menstruating. It creeps Allah out just to think of it. 2:222a
  13. But don't worry guys. After they clean up you can have sex with them whenever you want. Allah loves clean men as much as he hates menstruating women. 2:222b
  14. In the mind of Allah, women are like a dirty field for men to plow with their penises. Plow them whenever you like (as long as they're not menstruating, of course.) 2:223
  15. Still, if a man doesn't want to have sex with his wives, Allah is OK with that, too. Wait four months, then if they change their minds, go ahead and have sex with them. 2:226
  16. Women may not have sex for three months after getting a divorce. If they skip one of their filthy periods, they must not hide it. In such a case, Allah suggests that their ex-husbands take their pregnant wives back. 2:228a
  17. Women have rights that are similar to men, but men are "a degree above them." 2:228b
  18. If you divorce your wife, you must divorce her twice. And she can ransom herself, whatever that might mean. 2:229
  19. But if you divorce your wife for the third time, you can't have her again until she marries another guy. Then if the other guy divorces her, it's OK for you to have sex with your four-times divorced wife. What the hell. These are the limits of Allah. 2:230
  20. After your divorced wives have reached the end of their 3 month waiting period, you can take them or leave them. Just don't make Allah a laughing-stock. 2:231
  21. If you decide to go ahead with the divorce, let your ex-wives get married again. It's cleaner that way. Allah knows; you don't. 2:232
  22. When a man dies, his wives can't have sex for four months and ten days. After that, if they're not pregnant, it's no sin for the dead man if his wives have sex again. 2:234
  23. A woman is worth one-half a man. 2:282
  24. 22. The Pilgrimage

  25. "Every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden and thou (Muhammad) wilt see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the Doom of Allah will be strong (upon them)." 22:2

    When the doom of Allah comes, pregnant women will suffer miscarriages, and men will act like they are drunk.

  31. Believing women must lower their gaze and be modest, cover themselves with veils, and not reveal themselves except to their husbands, relatives, children, and slaves. 24:31
  32. "And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom."
    Well, I guess this is about as good as it gets in the Quran. Allah encourages you to set your slaves free if they are good enough. And don't pimp out your slave-girls (concubines). 24:33

  61. f your slave wives are guilty of lewdness, punish them half as much as you punish your lewd free wives. 4:25c
  62. Men are in charge of women, because Allah made men to be better than women. Women must obey men, and if they refuse they must be punished. Refuse to have sex with them and beat them into submission (Islam). 4:34
  63. Don't pray if you are drunk, dirty, or have touched a woman lately. 4:43
  64. Vigins await those who enter paradise. 4:57

  77. 53. The Star

  78. Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza and Manat, the third, the other? 53:19-20

    There is great controversy surrounding these verses.

    The story goes like this: Allah revealed surah 53 to Muhammad through verses 19 and 20, which refer to three Arab godesses (Al-lat, Al-'Uzza, and Manat).

    Then Satan tempted Muhammad to add the following verses to attract Muhammad's polytheistic neighbors:

    These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries), whose intercession is to be hoped for.

    These verses ("the Satanic verses") were later removed and replaced with the current verses 21-22, which make fun of the idea of having female gods. (There is only one God and he is male.)
