Motherhood and the Ideal of Filial Piety

A timely and thought-provoking article recently published by Shaykh Gibril F. Haddad:
Motherhood and the Ideal of Filial Piety

Needless to say, this brief essay more than refutes the oft-heard claims that Islam is inherently misogynistic.

Enjoy...

That was a beautiful article, jazak Allahu khayr. On another note, though, it does not preclude our Deen from being patriarchal (and I say this as a misogynist). Any feminist will point out that one of the distinguishing features of a patriarchal system is the reverence it attaches to motherhood. Wouldn't you agree?
