Walaikum asalam Anzila, how are you :)
You know, we have a perfect model for an Islamic society in the state of Medina which was designed by the Prophet(saw) himself. In the state of Medina, there were women and men who would work together, walk on the streets freely, fight on battle fields together. Even in the masjid there was no separate room for the women, not even a BARRIER. The women would just sit at the back of the room. And I have personally tried it as I was in a class full of boys. Sitting at the back, one can have their own space, no worrying about the wandering eyes of wierdos.
Even in glorious civilisations of Al Andulus, women and men would go to universities together (800 years before the advent of the European Universities of Oxford and Cambridge). Not only this, in Medina women would go to the masjid at fajr time and Esha time when it's dark. This should be enough for those who don't allow women to drive in Saudi. Walking in the dark hours is more dangerous than driving in day light.
Great scholars like Ibn hazam say" My first teachers of Fiqh were women". That is exactly why he wrote an absolute amazing encyclopaedia on marriage. Imam shafiee and Imam Malik had women teachers, who,these great imams,called instrumental in there education. This should be a sufficient answer to those who don't educate women in the prestigious Medina University. And I can go on and on.
If this was what the Messenger (saw) meant when he spoke about segregation, couldnt he(saw) anoint Taif or any other city as an exclusive women's city.
Such alienation of women in Saudi particularly has had very very detrimental consequences. Men and women have forgotten to treat each other as human beings. Muslim men have started treating women as this fitnah, that Allah has sent them. And women have started looking at men as oppressive tyrants, hence leaning towards the western pseudo model of fem liberation. Such alienation also results in the lack of understanding between genders, because there has been no respectable interaction. Hence marriages are a joke leading to exploitation of one or the other. The amount of money they have spent on making this city, I wish they would spend the same amount in the education and mental conditioning of Muslim youth, so that even if placed in a super crowded mall with Megan Fox's walking around they would lower their gaze and act decently. The Prophet (saw) was perfect model of modesty and decency, yet he never isolated women calling them evil beings (that was the ancient Christian and Hindu ideology of eve being an evil temptress).
Regarding what you said about the women feeling comfortable by taking off the abaya and working in normal clothes. Come on Anzila, Saudi Arabia is the most air conditioned country in the entire world. Again the model being Medina, where women,mind you, fought in Badr, uhud, khaiber. On top of their jilbab, they had steel armour.:) they weren't told, "go make a separate battalion". Or even the market place was not made segregated. Women walked freely even in the Jewish markets of Medina. Yes with their hijab, some with their niqab. They had no air conditioning and super light weight clothing material.
Why was this done, because men and women together in utmost modest and respectable manner make up the society. By such stringent measures they are destroying generations of young men and women, who don't know what's its like to live in a world together, and yet maintain modesty, chastity and Haya.
Men and women don't have to be caged separately, they have to be taught how to interact with each other in the most dignified manner.
The Wahhabi fanaticism in the Saudi belt can build these women only malls and cities, but what have they done about the ever escalating pornographic downloads in the Holy Land. When you keep men on mars and women on Venus. This is what happens, that young people turn to the Internet to get a glimpse of what it's like to be on the other side. The wahhabis are champions in calling everything and anything Bidaa, i think this big time Bidaa. If the saudis have so much money to spare there are thousand sof women who have La illah illa Allah in their hearts and they are being violated in Burma, bangladesh,Kashmir, how about sending some of that resource in the rehabillitation of the Ummah.
Our ultimate role model is the Messenger (saw) and the city he built on the foundations of Islam. He (saw) did not build walls between the genders, rather he conditioned the hearts to such amount of Haya that even a wrong gaze was considered a breach of human sanctity.
Men and women were not separated by physical walls but by spiritual walls, in which everyone was a slave of The Lord and hence deserving of utmost respect. Such people didnt have to be told, "wear a lose shirt" or "don't send her a friend request", they knew their limits really well. We need to bring back the Medinan Model of society not go back to the pagan Arab society, where women were nothing more than dirt.
Allahu Ta'ala Aalam.
Wassalaam :)

Economic terrorism of the 21st century Khazar Jews (Yajooj and Majooj)
Interest,Riba is not just a sin..It is a crime against humanity.. In the famous play of William Shakespere, "Merchant of Venice", he depicts the jewish money lender as someone who lends money on the condition of owing a pound of flesh of the borrower. He does this because he intends to enslave this person..This is what today's interest based economy does. In the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa Ta'ala has spoken at length about this being the special characteristic of the Jews. They plotted to kill Isa(as) with the help of the Romans also because he opposed their money lending. And they continue to do so. The Rothschild Bank is the richest jewish family that owns mansions that even kings dont have in Europe, all because of their stealing from people and their audacious theft in broad day light. Allah has cursed them in this life and in the Hereafter they are fuel for the Hellfire. Because "they hoard gold and silver, without spending on the poor"

The Biggest thieves in the world.
In 1913, after introducing paper as money for the first time. The Federal Reserve went on to ban gold and silver as legal tender in 1933,(who are they to ban what Allah has made Halal). Wallahi now I understand why Allah and His Messenger (saw) has waged a war against the "sood khor" (one who deals in interest) .. Only because these are the people who externally manipulate the value of a nation's currency, thus making human and natural resource really cheap for their own Nike,Prada,Chanel industries. A suitcase full of Indonesian rupiya cannot buy a cup of coffee in Manhattan.This is not a thing for us to look down upon the Indonesian or African people, but to curse people who are the cause of such poverty and destitution in the world today.
After that is done, these countries due to utter poverty and destitution ask for loans from the very countries that robbed them. And guess what...(Baal nochne ke layak hai ye baat) they give them loan on interest...which isn't paid by the corrupt governments of these countries, but by the labour class after working on slave wages..And then the people who posses the intellectual acumen of cattle say, "America is the 1st world and the Muslim world is the 3rd world"..Aray bhaya...America aur Europe jaise chor luchakke puri dunya ne kabhi nahi dekhe.
These are no doubt the people of Gog and Magog, as prophesised by the ProphetMuhammad(Pbuh), who will be released in the world at the end of times.
My Prophet did speak the truth (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon my beloved)
I pray to Allah to save us from this sick disease of taking loans on interest and credit card addictions..
And I pray to Allah that He gives us the free and fair market which was given to us by His Messenger(saw).
Ameen

Zzzzzzz shhhhhhh!!!!! Wake up!!!
When someone tries to wake us up from our deep sleep, we get disturbed and call such a person annoying and irritating. But only upon waking up we realise what a great blessing is to be awake and ready to face reality and what a curse it was to live in a fools paradise. So if someone annoys you with excessive religious or moral bombardment, think for a second, maybe I'm asleep and he is trying to wake me up. The Ummah needs to wake up !!!

Why is life like this?
"Towards the end of times, a man will see a grave and wish that he was inside it" - Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
The Prophet (saw) is talking about a time when life will become so meaningless and ugly, that a person while walking would wish to die rather than complete his day.
This is precisely the world that we are living in. A simple google search will inform you about the ever escalating suicide rates in the world. What's more interesting is that suicide and depression is more common in the metropolitan cities as compared to the rural side. Strangely enough, this being the case, when the city life boasts itself to be modern easy way of life, gadgets, entertainment and an insatiable social appetite.
Then what is the reason behind such an unfortunate contrast?
Also, research tells us that amongst the genders, middle aged working women are more susceptible to suicidal behaviour and depression.
What must be the reason for these "modern" "liberated" women to be so fed up with life, so as to put an end to it?
This clearly tells us the glittering glamorous modern way of life especially the globalisation, consumerism and also the so called "liberation"of women through the Femenist Revolution, has failed and has failed miserably atleast in the human pursuit of happiness.
Allah says in the Quran " But whoever turns away from My Message(Quran), no doubt for him is a DEPRESSED life .." (20:124)
There you go we have the formula for happiness right there in a few words.
Many a times when things become tough, one does wonder What is the point or purpose of life anyways?? I mean I wanted to study..I studied..I wanted money...I have it..I wanted to get married or fall in love..well I got someone..but..then what..why am I not happy or satiated..satisfied..
Like Akbar Allahbadi writes "BA kiya, naukar huayy, pension milli aur fawt hogaye"
"And We did create the jinns and the humans, only that they would serve(worship) Us (Allah)" (Quran)
Till we don't internalise this fact in our lives that we were created for a higher much more noble purpose, that is to enslave ourselves, devote ourselves to our Lord, our Loving Creator, life will never make absolute sense.
Just like a person who does not get wholesome nutritious food, does he starve himself to death..No..He starts eating junk food..whatever is available..
When a person does not understand that Allah created the entire beautiful Universe for him/her..yes the sun, the moon, the stars, water, earth.food, clothes..And Allah created the human being (the best creation) for His Own Glorious self..Such a person finds other "junk purposes" in life.
For someone it could be fitness, spending hours in gym, making their ultimate goal a day when they can have a body like a particular celebrity. For someone it could be money..Dreaming for a day when they can go to their friends party in a Audi Q5. For someone it could be a person, for someone it could be their children etc etc. They wake up with this thought and they sleep with this thought.
"The ones who disbelieve, love their gods(money,body,boyfriend,power,fashion) the way they should have loved Allah, but the ones who believe, they are intense in their love for Allah"(Surah Baqarah Quran)
It is when a human being's goals are all focused on His Lord and his heart is over flowing with love and gratitude towards His Ever Merciful Lord. He does all the above things, works, studies, gets married, falls in love, earns money but the most priced possession in his body-his heart- this he has already given to Allah. It is this person who has befriended peace and tranquility.
Everyone tells him "Don't you get bored, don't you get lonely, don't you watch tv, don't you have a boy friend etc etc" . But this person knows he has already got what his heart craved, so he does not need to fill it up with junk.
"Those whose hearts find peace with the remembrance of Allah. No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace" (Quran)
"And remember when Abraham came to his Lord with a sound peaceful heart" (Surah Saffat)
