The recent Women’s March fulfilled a Western agenda
The crossroads where the concept of the creation of universe, belief in the reason for its conception and faith in the existence of oneness depart from the ideologies of the scientists of this modern world, witnesses the mystic and metaphysical ideas diverge from the obscene placards raised by those defiant of the greatness of their ancestors, narcissists who claim to know everything and yet deny the natural order that God created. The untamed spirits betrayed by the jinx of ‘their will over their body’, raise the slogans of ‘Aurat March’ to demolish their indigenous family system and remain busy in consuming the ornament of this universe in the kiln of corporate culture.
The chanters of objectionable mottos have not turned so because of any cultural change, war, alien interference, atheistic ideology or the scientific laws for conquering the universe but liberal thought and the desire to be called liberal has brought them to the verge where women, who are the symbols of honor and respect, have been forced to carry posters bearing indecent chants. The buried ancestral traditions call for Fatima (RA), the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), to come and save the women of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan who are selling their dignity in the name of the NGOs, liberalism and human rights protection. Is there anyone who could dare save the modern women enslaved by the western corporate world? It is astonishing to see the silence of the human rights activists and NGOs over the projection of women’s bodies for advertising brands in this corporate world.
There was a time when women were sold in the markets as slaves. That was the time in history when their bids were offered, rates were declared and possessions were transferred. Women did not know of words like poise, self-respect and honour. Many of them were buried at the time of birth, there was no concept of educating them and they were not given their due rights. Then the day came when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came as the saviour of the silenced victims. He offered matchless rights and invaluable status to women. Even Allah vows to existence of humans for the esteemed status enjoyed by the women and says in Surah Nur:
“And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their head covers over their chests”
International Women’s Day was celebrated worldwide on the 8th of March. Not only the women but the men also paid tribute to the most beautiful and alluring creatures of God that can be seen in the guise of mother, daughter, sister, wife or friend. Meanwhile, when wishes were exchanged globally on different forums, all of a sudden a cluster of some 2000 women bearing placards emerged on the scene. This is the same group that launched a raging campaign of ‘my will over my body’ last year. A whole wave of dancing over the chants, speeches for the equality of rights for the women initiated, which got widespread and was given live coverage by the international media. This whole campaign cannot be discussed without talking about some placards which bear the slogans that need to be addressed here.
- Your looks are strayed and I cover myself?
- A woman is not a child-bearing machine.
- I will warm the food but not your sexual desires.
- I am a woman, not a lollypop.
- I am characterless.
- Divorcee and happy.
Some of the slogans need proper censorship and cannot be mentioned here. These mottos were raised by women, the majority of whom has been disowned by their families, some had to grow professionally or some are those who defy the natural order between the opposite genders.
It is quite interesting to note that a significant majority of the Pakistani women have expressed their displeasure over the projection of vested interests on the Women’s Day. These women not only comprise the housewives but they also include some of the most successful women in their respective professions. Madeeha Masood, anchorperson in a national TV channel, writes that no one denies the demand for equal rights but the slogans on the placards are conspiracies against the family system and the natural order created by Allah. Anam Afzal, another renowned anchor, declares this march as part of a western agenda and says that it is beyond understanding. A famous reporter, Javeria Siddique, declares this march against the women rights and calls it a propagation of mere hatred. These are the views of the educated, enlightened and literate women who have rejected the message that such marches plan to deliver. As far as women’s rights are concerned, it should not be forgotten that our women have always proved their mettle in every walk of life. Benazir Bhutto, a former prime minister, a former Speaker of the National Assembly, women cricket stars, fighter pilots and many other notable women belong to our indigenous family system.

The hatred against the family system that I have seen in the past two years of my entire 13 years career as a journalist is unprecedented. We realize and accept that even today women are not treated well in this society. We know that in this patriarchal society, women have to face suppression. No one denies the necessity of raising voice for their rights which is indeed important for the betterment of the society but the rejection of Allah’s created system of nature, promotion of divorce culture, advocating homosexuality, spreading hatred against the opposite gender and destroying the family system is unacceptable. This is the agenda of the NGOs that aim to destroy our society. We are the products of an Islamic society and we have the lives of the pious wives of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions as the role models. We do not need to learn anything from these Aurat Marches nor are we getting impressed by the slogans raised in them. The government should keep a close watch on the propagation of this western agenda. Hopefully, the mature and sensible women will protest over this modern women’s propaganda. Our social system is derived from our religion and our women are our pride. May Allah protect our family system from evil eyes.
