Intro: Social media aur aam behas-mubahisay mein aksar yeh sawal uthaya jata hai ke Islam mein aurat ki gawahi (witness) ko mard ki nisbat aadha kyun samjha jata hai, aur isse juri hui ek doosri baat ke kya aurat “naqis ul aqal” hai. Bahut se log in maslo ko Islam par tanqeed ke liye istemal karte hain, aur nateeja yeh hota hai ke musalman naujawan bhi in sawalat se pareshan ho jate hain. Unhen lagta hai ke shayad Islam ne aurat ko kam-tar (inferior) darja diya hai. Lekin, kya yeh aitraaz waqai me Islam ke asal nazariye par mabni hain? Kya Quran aur Hadith is bare me kya kehte hain, aur kya iska koi mantiqi (logical) jawab hai? Is article mein, hum in sawalat ka ilm aur daleel ki roshni me wazeh jawab denge, taake aapko Islam ke insaaf aur aurat ke muqam ke mutalliq sahih samajh hasil ho.
Key Takeaways:
- Aurat ki gawahi hamesha aadhi nahi hoti; kuch mamlaat me uski gawahi akele hi qabil-e-qubool hoti hai.
- Gawahi dena koi fazeelat (honor) ka amal nahi, balkay ek zimmedari hai jo insaf ko qaim karne ke liye zaruri hai.
- Gawahi ke mamle me do aurton ko shamil karne ka maqsad kisi ko kam-tar samjhana nahi, balkay gawahon ko jhoot aur ghalati se bachane ka ek tahaffuzi (protective) nizam hai.
- “Naqis ul aqal” ki sahih tafseer ko samajhna zaroori hai; iska matlab ye nahi ke aurat kam-aqal hoti hai, balkay iska taluq deeni aur qanooni zimmedariyon ke farq se hai.
- Modern western legal system aur Islamic legal system mein farq hai, jise samajhna is masle ki buniyad hai.
Objection: Kya Islam mein Aurat Ki Gawahi Hamesha Mard Se Aadhi Hoti Hai?
Yeh sabse aam aitraaz hai ke Islam aurat ko barabari ka darja nahi deta kyunke uski gawahi mard ke muqable me aadhi hai. Log aksar Quran ki ek ayat ka hawala dete hain jisme do aurton ki gawahi ko ek mard ki gawahi ke barabar bataya gaya hai. Isse ek aam ghalat fehmi (misconception) paida hoti hai ke Islam me har mamle me aurat ki gawahi ka wazan kam hai.
Jawab: Yeh aik strawman fallacy ki misal hai, jisme Islam ke nazariye ko ghalat tareeqe se paish karke us par tanqeed ki ja rahi hai. Asal haqeeqat yeh hai ke yeh ek absolute statement nahi hai, yaani Islam ne yeh hukm har mamle ke liye nahi diya hai. Balkay, gawahi ka yeh usool kuch khaas mamlaat tak mehdood hai.
Misal ke taur par, Islami fiqh mein kuch mamlaat aise bhi hain jinme sirf aurton ki gawahi hi qabil-e-qabool hoti hai, mardon ki nahi. Maslan, bachche ki paidaish, bachche ko doodh pilana (رضاعت) ya aurat ke mahwari (menstrual cycle) se mutalliq mamle. In mamlaat ka sidha taluq auraton ki zaati zindagi se hai aur mard inki gawahi nahi de sakte. Isse wazeh hota hai ke Islam ne har mamle me aurat ko kam-tar nahi samjha.
Islami legal system mein gawahi dene ka amal koi fazeelat (honor) nahi hai. Balkay yeh ek zimmedari aur ek bojh (burden) hai. Mard ko ghar ke bahar ke zimmedariyan di gayi hain, jaise kamaan aur ghar ki hifazat. Is liye unhe bahar ke masail aur juraim se waaqif hone ka zyada mauqa milta hai. Is liye mardon ko gawahi dene ki zimmedari bhi zyada di gayi hai. Lekin, iska yeh matlab nahi ke aurat ko ghar me qaid rehna hai. Jis tarah se ek bachchi doctor ban sakti hai, waise hi woh apni zimmedariyan nibha sakti hai.
Toh Phir Kuch Mamlaat Mein Do Aurton Ki Gawahi Kyun?
Yahan par, humein gaur karna hoga ke Quran ne kis sandarbh (context) mein yeh hukm diya. Surah Baqarah mein Allah Ta’ala irshad farmate hain: “…aur apne mardon mein se do gawah bana lo, aur agar do mard na hon to ek mard aur do aurtein, jinhen tum gawah pasand karte ho, is liye ke agar ek bhool jaye to doosri usko yaad dila de…” (2:282).
Is ayat me “ek bhool jaye to doosri usko yaad dila de” ki wajah bayan ki gayi hai. Iska matlab yeh hai ke aurton ko do isliye shamil kiya gaya hai taake unki gawahi ko mazeed mazboot aur motabar banaya ja sake. Yeh system kisi ko kam-tar samjhane ke liye nahi, balkay insaaf ke system ko zyada se zyada faul-proof banane ke liye hai.
Jazbatiyat aur Faisle: Quran ne yahan ek insani fitrat ki taraf ishara kiya hai ke aurtein fitratan mardon se zyada jazbati (emotional) hoti hain. Iska matlab yeh nahi ke woh kam aqal hoti hain. Iska matlab yeh hai ke kisi mamle ko miss-read karne ka imkan zyada ho sakta hai. Jab ek insaan jazbaat me ghalib hota hai, toh woh kabhi-kabhi waqaiyat ko galat samjh sakta hai. Ek misal ke taur par, agar kisi aurat ne kisi par zulm hote hue dekha aur woh us waqt ghabra gai, toh woh waqai ko galat bayan kar sakti hai. Jab do aurtein gawah hongi, toh woh ek doosre ko cross-check kar sakengi, aur sahih waqaiyat saamne aa saken gi. Isse kisi bhi masoom insaan ko ghalat saza milne se bachaya ja sakta hai.
- Logical Rebuttal: Yeh system mulzim ko ek extra layer of protection faraham karta hai. Iska maqsad yeh hai ke koi bhi masoom insaan sirf ek gawah ki ghalat ya jazbati gawahi ki wajah se jail na jaye. Jab ek se zyada gawah hote hain, toh usko cross-examine karna asaan ho jata hai. Ek hi aurat ki gawahi par agar faisla kiya jaye, aur agar woh ghalat ho, toh us masoom insaan ki poori zindagi barbad ho sakti hai. Islam ka maqsad insaan ko insaf faraham karna hai, na ke uspar zulm karna.
Western Legal System Aur Islami Nizam Mein Bunyadi Farq
Hum mein se bahut se log Islam ke qanoon ko modern western legal system ke roshni me parakhte hain, jo ek aur ghalat fehmi ki wajah hai. Western system mein aksar jo muqaddama chalane wala (plaintiff) hota hai, usi ko hi gawah bhi samjha jata hai. Lekin, Islami qanoon ka nizam mukhtalif hai.
“Islami qanoon me, jo muqaddama chalane wala hai woh gawah nahi ho sakta. Use apne daave ko saabit karne ke liye gawah pesh karne honge.”
Yeh ek bahut ahem nuqta hai. Muqadma chalane wala apne liye daawa karta hai, jabke gawah kisi aur ke haq me gawahi deta hai. Isliye, agar kisi aurat par zulm hua hai, toh woh muqaddama chala sakti hai, lekin usko apne daave ko saabit karne ke liye doosre gawah pesh karne honge. Isse yeh yaqeeni banaya jata hai ke insaf bilkul निष्पक्ष (unbiased) aur sachai par mabni ho. Agar muqaddama chalane wale ki gawahi hi qabool kar li jaye, toh isse kisi bhi masoom insaan ki zindagi khatre me pad sakti hai.
Objection: Kya Quran Mein Aurat Ko ‘Naqis-ul-Aqal’ Kaha Gaya Hai?
Dusra ahem sawal jo aksar uthaya jata hai woh yeh ke kya Islam aurat ko “naqis-ul-aqal” ya “deficient in intellect” manta hai? Yeh ek aisi baat hai jisse aksar aurtein aur unke haqooq ke mutalliq behas karne wale log Islam par tanqeed karte hain. Unke mutabiq, yeh alfaaz aurat ko mardon se kam-tar zaahir karte hain.
Jawab: “Naqis-ul-aqal” ki asal tafseer (explanation) ko samajhna zaroori hai. Kuch ahadees mein yeh lafz istemal hua hai, lekin usko uske asal maani mein samajhna zaruri hai. Iska matlab yeh nahi ke aurat ka dimagh chhota hota hai ya woh kam samajhdaar hoti hai.
Is lafz ka taluq aurat ki zindagi aur zimmedariyon se hai. Deen-e-Islam ne aurat ko kuch deeni aur dunyaavi zimmedariyon se aazad rakha hai. Maslan, aurat ko namaz, roza, ya hajj par jaise ibadat ke mamle me kuch riyayatein (concessions) di gai hain. Iski wajah yeh hai ke unki fitrat mardon se mukhtalif hai. Allah ne aurat ko maa banne ki azmat di hai, aur is zimmedari ke liye usko kai tarah ki fitri riyayatein di hain.
- Deeni Zimmedariyan: Is sandarbh me, “naqis-ul-aqal” ka matlab yeh hai ke aurat ko kuch deeni farz se chhutkara mila hai, jaise mahwari ke dino me namaz aur roze se. Isi tarah, uski gawahi ke mamle me bhi do aurton ki gawahi ko ek mard ke barabar rakha gaya hai taake gawahon ko jhoot aur ghalati se bachaya ja sake.
- Logical Reasoning: Yeh ek false equivalence hai, yani do alag alag cheezon ko barabar samjhna. Aurat ki fitrat aur uski zimmedariyon ko uski aqal se jorna bilkul galat hai. Jahan par bhi aurat ko koi zimmedari di gayi hai, usne use khoob nibhaya hai. Tarikh gawah hai ke aurton ne ilm, science, siyasat aur deen ke shobon mein bade bade karnamay anjaam diye hain. Isliye, yeh kehna ke aurat naqis-ul-aqal hai, iska matlab bilkul galat hai.
Conclusion
Aakhir mein, yeh baat wazeh ho jaati hai ke Islam mein aurat ki gawahi aur uski aqal ke mutalliq jo aitraaz uthaye jaate hain, woh ghalat fehmi aur adhoori maloomat par mabni hain. Islam ne aurat ko kam-tar nahi samjha, balkay use ek muqaddas darja diya hai, aur uski fitrat aur zimmedariyon ke mutabiq uske liye ahkam tay kiye hain. Gawahi ka nizam insaf aur tahaffuz par mabni hai, na ke kisi ko kam-tar samjhne par. Isi tarah, “naqis-ul-aqal” ka matlab bhi deeni aur qanooni zimmedariyon se mutalliq hai, na ke aurat ki zaati salahiyat (ability) ya aqal se. Isliye, yeh kehna ke Islam ne aurat ke saath nainsafi ki hai, bilkul ghalat hai. Humein Islam ki taleemat ko ilm aur daleel ki roshni me samajhna chahiye.
FAQs
Q: Kya aurat ko ghar se bahar kaam karne ki ijazat hai? A: Ji bilkul. Islam aurat ko ghar se bahar kaam karne ki ijazat deta hai, basharte ke woh shara’i parde ka ehtemam kare aur uski zimmedariyan naak se na ho. Tarikh me bhi aurton ne mukhtalif shobon mein kaam kiya hai.
Q: Agar koi aurat doctor hai, to kya uski gawahi aadhi hogi? A: Gawahi ka masla aurat ke professional status se nahi juda. Gawahi ka usool har aurat ke liye aik hi hai. Doctor hone ya kisi aur professional hone se gawahi ki qeemat nahi badalti. Lekin, tibbi mamlaat mein uski rai (opinion) ko ek mahir ki tarah tawajjo di jati hai.
Q: Modern Western countries mein aurat ki gawahi mard ke barabar hai, to kya unka nizam sahi hai? A: Har qanooni nizam ki apni buniyad aur usool hote hain. Western nizam mein gawahi ko ek alag tareeqe se handle kiya jata hai. Islam ne apne maqasid aur insaf ke usoolon par mabni nizam banaya hai jo insaan ki fitrat ko madd-e-nazar rakhta hai. Dono nizamon ka maqsad insaf faraham karna hai, lekin unke tareeqe mukhtalif hain.
Q: Kya Islam ne mard ko aurat par fazeelat di hai? A: Islam ne mard aur aurat dono ko alag alag zimmedariyan aur maqam diye hain. Allah ne Quran mein farmaya hai ke “Mard aurat par haakim hain us wajah se ke Allah ne unmein se ek ko doosre par fazeelat di hai…” (4:34). Iska matlab yeh hai ke mard ki zimmedari aur farz hai ke woh aurat ki dekhbhal, hifazat, aur uske akhrajaat poore kare. Yeh fazeelat zimmedari ke lihaz se hai, na ke ehmiyat ke lihaz se.
