Call for Xuzhou City Lady from Muslim World

 

Call for chained woman of Xuzhou from Muslim World

 

 

 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Glory to God, Creator of all beings in the universe. May God send blessings the prophets.

 

On January 28, 2022, the incident of a chain woman was exposed in Feng County, Xuzhou, China. She was kidnapped, raped, abused, injured, imprisoned, and used as a reproductive tool as far as she was chained. She lived a very harsh life. Her tragic experience made every person with conscience feel heartbroken. People were all shocked and indignant. They expressed their sympathy and sent messages of support to the chained woman in various ways. At present, the chained woman incident had spread all over the world, and drawn the global attention. However, the chained woman's background hasn’t been figured out so far. The harm she suffered hasn’t been compensated, and the persecutors are still at large. Moreover, we would like to appeal to worldwide Muslims to support the chained woman to be rescued as soon as possible on our behalf. May God have mercy on her.

Islam means peace and submission. We believe in one God. We follow the guidance of all the prophets of all nations and the teachings of the Qur'an. We are devoted to achieve peace on the earth. Therefore, it is the duty of every Muslim to persuade people to do good and not to commit sins. The Qur'an teaches us: Help one other in righteousness and in warding off evil, but don’t help one other to commit sin and transgression. (Quran 5:2)

Human beings are servants of God, and are born with freedom. We oppose any form of human-to-human enslavement, so we can’t endure any tournament and enslavement to our fellow human beings. In the face of injustice and persecution, it is responsible for every Muslim to speak out for justice and condemn any injustice on the earth.

The Qur'an says: “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another.” (Qur'an 49:13) According to the teachings of the Qur'an: Men and women are born together. (Qur'an 3:195), men come from women, and women come from men. Men and women have their own fortes, and there isn’t superior or inferior between these two genders. Islam historically opposed son preference, and condemned any injustice towards women. The Qur'an expressly asked men to be kind to women: Be kind to them. (Qur'an 4:19) The Qur'an initiated giving women a right to own and inherit property, and a right of choosing who they want to marry. Women, as independent individuals, are never allowed to be private properties of men, and never allowed to become commodities for sale. The Qur'an condemned the evil practice of female infanticide in the times of ignorance, and revealed that all female infants who are murdered will be avenged. And when baby girls, buried alive, are asked, for what crime they were put to death. (Quran 81:8)

Prophet Muhammad taught us: “Be kind to women, because women are your mothers, your aunts, your aunts, your sisters, and your daughters.” He also said: “The kindest among you is the one who treats his wife best.”

"This world doesn't want me anymore!" "The home is full of rapists!" "Let me go!" They are the crying and accusations from the chained girl with sorrowful tears. As servants of God, we felt deeply sad by witnessing her tragedy. We couldn’t tolerate a human being hurts like that, and our faith told us not to be silent about it. What happened to this chained girl is a disgrace to the mankind. If we didn’t stand up to condemn this rascality for justice, we would feel disturbed, would shame our faith, and would be ashamed of questions from God.

Therefore, we are appealing to everyone to respect women and treat them nicely. We are also appealing to completely eradiate discrimination and victimization against women. Unfortunately, there are so many tragedies happening from then and now. According to statistics from 1986 to 1989, there are 40000 women trafficked in Xuzhou alone. And according to newest report, there are millions of people trafficked. Furthermore, there are Uygur and Kazakh women being persecuted horribly in another way. But they are merely known by Chinese.

We are strongly appealing to people to speak out in as many as ways as they can to save these women who are suffering. No matters who they are. They can be Uygur women, Chinese women or foreign women. Because they are our mothers, our daughters and our sisters. We are strongly appealing to people to pay attention to women’s rights, condemn and stop all kinds of victimization against women. Until one day, every women can live in a safe environment, aren’t afraid of being trafficked, raped and imprisoned. And They can live their life with freedom and dignity.

  Quran says: “ We have sent you ‘O Prophet’ only as a mercy for the whole world. ” (Quran 21:107) We are here to spread mercy from God. We are accountable to have actual efforts to spread love from God. Therefore, let’s pray to God for guiding Chinese to get rid of ignorance and cruelty, for seeing truth, and enjoying peace from God. May God have mercy on us. May God give us power. May God protect us from slavery. May God protect us from chains of the wicked to enjoy a life with happiness, freedom and dignity.

 

 

Amin!
