If you accuse an honorable women of adultery, be sure to bring four witness. Otherwise you will receive 80 lashes.
How exactly is this insulting the woman? It only shows that near Islam the woman's honor is of top priority and thus it makes sure to secure her honor so that no one tries to falsely accuse the woman of lewd acts.
A husband can accuse his wife of adultery with only one witness.
Wrong translation again! Counter check it with the right translation:
And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth;
So it is both ways! Only one woman witness i.e. Herself is also sufficient to launch a charge against her husband.
Allah says it is lawful for Muhammad to marry any women he wants.
Again, he(saw) was allowed to marry any woman he wants (refer to the authentic translation of this…33:50-51) just like any man is allowed to marry any woman they want. But it does not mean that he could FORCE anyone to marry him. If the woman would not wish to marry him then there was no compulsion. Additionally the women that are forbidden to marry, even the Prophet(saw) was not allowed to marry them.
If men must speak to Muhammad's wives they must speak from behind a curtain. And no one must ever marry one of his wives.
Again this applies to the wives of the Prophet(saw) and not every single woman!
But the single-minded slaves of Allah will enjoy a Garden filled with lovely-eyed virgins.
“But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah,-
For them is a Sustenance determined,
Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity,
In Gardens of Felicity,
Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity):
Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear-flowing fountain,
Crystal-white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof),
Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).”(37:40-48)
The rewards for believers in the Hereafter. How is it insulting to the women of this world?
