THE STATUS OF A WOMAN IN ISLAM: SIMPLIFIED & CONCEIVABLE

A non Muslim came to a Sheikh and asked: 
why is it not permissible in Islam for a woman to shake hands with a man?

SHEIKH replied; can you shake hands with Queen Elizabeth?

Non Muslim replied: of course not, there are only certain people who can shake her hands.

SHEIKH replied: our women are queens and queens do not shake hands with strange men.

Non Muslim: why do girls cover up their hair and body then?

The SHEIKH smiles and takes two pieces of candy. He opens one and leaves the other
closed, throws both of them on the dusty floor and asks the non Muslim: if asked you take
one of the sweets which one would you take?

Non Muslim: the closed one

SHEIKH: that's how we treat and see our women. Women should not be like the moon
so everyone can see and admire. They should be like the sun and make people lower their gaze.

Non Muslim: show me God if he exists?

SHEIKH: look at the sun!

Non Muslim: i can't see the rays hurt my eyes

SHEIKH: if you can't see the creation of god, how you going to see God?

Lastly the non Muslim invited the SHEIKH to his house and offered him grapes. The SHEIKH
then ate them an was then offered a glass of wine which he refused.

Non Muslim: how do you forbid wine but eat grapes when wine comes from grapes?

SHEIKH: do you have a daughter?

Non Muslim: yes

SHEIKH: could you marry her?

Non Muslim: no

SHEIKH: Subhan'Allah you marry her mother but can't marry her although she came from her mother!
