What is real freedom?

1 - Most of people believe that freedom is only when there is no slavery or oppression of one human over another. Islam, although believes in this concept, has a higher definition of freedom. That is freedom from slavery of your desires and ambitions, and that is the worst slavery. For
example, one may be the slave of money or sex or power and he or she will commit all types of crimes and oppressions because of this slavery. The crime ratio in US and Europe is higher than elsewhere because of this type of slavery. And interestingly, most of the people in this type of
slavery do not know they are slaves.

2 - Is obedience a type of slavery?

If children obey their parents or students obey there teachers or wives obey their husbands this
type of obedience is because of love. So obedience is nothing but real love. And love is nothing but obedience. When a wife obeys her husband that is because of love of Allah (God) and also because of love of husband. Because marriage is an agreement done for the pleasure of Allah.

3 - Marriage is not only lust but it is great
training for the purification of soul that is why in Islam after marriage the sawab (reward) of one
rak’at will be equal to seventy rak’at because here both parties are destroying animalistic character like selfishness and sacrificing for one another.

4 - What is real pleasure?

Most of people think the pleasure only relates to the body but real pleasure is satisfaction of soul.
For example, one can do this experiment anytime, if one loves a type of food or a type of cloth very
much if he or she happen to give that to a needy person this type of pleasure is much more
satisfying and permanent.

5 - What is the aim of our creation?

When one person does not understand the aim of his or her creation he will not understand the rights of women or men. When aim of our creation is getting love and knowledge of Allah (God) by his obedience and worship so when wife is obeying the order of her husband because of her love of Allah, she is reaching the aim of her creation.

6 - An example of Islam’s beauty is at the time of
feeding her baby. It is obligatory for men to pay her is she demands so. When aim of our creation is getting love and knowledge of Allah (God) by his obedience and worship.
