Islam and the Quran

According to this concept, it is the outcome of the karma of a person that determines his next form in his re-birth and this cycle continues. According to Islam, a person’s life is eternal, a fraction of which he spends on the planet earth. The time he spends on earth is a test. How he has performed in this test will be evaluated after his death on the Judgment Day. The Quran says: On that Day people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds: whoever has done the smallest particle of good will see it; while whoever has done the smallest particle of evil will see it. (Quran 99:6-8) Is it my right as a Muslim man to force my wife to wear a hijab? No, the husband cannot impose hijab on his wife. In fact, a husband must not impose anything on his wife. Islam accords equal status to women as that to men. The Quran says: You are members, one of another. (Quran 3:195) This means that there is no difference between the two as regards status, rights and blessings both in this world and in the Hereafter. In case a man requires something out-of-ordinary from his wife, a special provision has to be agreed upon between the two – husband and wife. It should be done at the time of or before marriage itself and with mutual consent. This special provision works both ways and the wife can ask for something out-of-ordinary from her husband as well.
