Simple logic: If you adopt a moral standard by which the Quran is considered immoral, then you have two choices. You either reject that moral standard or you reject the Quran.

Why feminism leads to apostasy? (Thread)
Simple logic: If you adopt a moral standard by which the Quran is considered immoral, then you have two choices. You either reject that moral standard or you reject the Quran.
Have you heard of the Bechdel Test? This is a feminist standard used to determine whether a written story or film meets the bare minimum requirements of representing women. The Test is straightforward: Does the story or film in question have at least two female characters who
speak to each other about something other than a man?
Now, is the Bechdel Test a good standard of justice and morality? Well, if we judge by this standard, then the Quran would be considered unjust and immoral (as would the Prophet ﷺ, his companions, and all scholars of Islam)

For example, Surah Yusuf, which Allah describes as "the best of stories," does not pass the Bechdel Test and, therefore, does not adequately represent women as far as feminism is concerned.
Feminists may ask, "How is this the best of stories when not a single woman is referred to by name? How is this the best of stories when the only women mentioned are those who lust after and conspire against a man? What about Yusuf& #39;s mom or sisters? Why aren& #39;t they mentioned?
Was there not a single positive woman in that time to include in the narrative?" This is all the feminist sees but rest of us recognize the folly of questioning Allah in this way.
This is one example but it summarises why many Muslim feminists end up leaving Islam.

They eventually realize that the morality they have adopted renders the Sahabah, the Prophet ﷺ, even Allah as unjust, wa na`udhubillah. So they reject it all and apostatize.
If the best of stories in the Quran doesn& #39;t meet the feminist standard of morality, then our iman depends on throwing that standard in the trash
Feminists emphasize representation. "Women& #39;s voices need to be heard!" they shout. Islamically, no one disagrees with that.

Of course women& #39;s voices are important and need to be respected and represented. Allah acknowledges this in the Quran when He says, for example:
"Certainly Allah has heard the speech of her that argues with you concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah hears the dialogue between you both; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing." (58:1)
But feminists aren& #39;t satisfied with such assurances. It& #39;s not enough that women& #39;s voices are represented. They need to be represented in a particular way. Speaking panels need to include as many women as men. Mosque boards need to include a proportional number of women as men.
Visibility is the main concept here. To be represented, women must be physically seen. Otherwise, one is guilty of "hiding" and "marginalizing" women and this is the epitome of injustice, we are told.
But then, where was the female representation among the Rightly Guided Caliphs

...Where is the female representation in Surat al-Kahf? etc
If we dump feminist standards, then what standards should we adopt? We adopt Islam& #39;s standards.

Maryam, peace be upon her, wasn& #39;t looking for representation. She wasn& #39;t demanding to "be heard." In fact, Allah commanded her to remain silent. But then by His command, her baby, peace be upon him, miraculously spoke for her and defended her.
The Mothers of the Believers also weren& #39;t demanding to "be visible." They weren& #39;t demanding to be "represented" in every gathering and consultation and on every platform. What lessons should we take from their example?
Does lack of visibility from the Sahabiyyat mean they lacked influence? Absolutely not. It& #39;s feminism& #39;s deceit to conflate visibility with influence. Influence and power don& #39;t require being visible and,
in fact, a great deal of power is obtained *through* deliberate lack of visibility.
In sum, we shouldn& #39;t be fooled by this toxic, man-made ideology that has corrupted the minds and hearts of so many Muslims. The time has come to throw it away.
