Reflecting on Women in the Arab History

Imperialism and Isolation

We human are the products of the relationships that shape us and the prospect we found; through families that raise us, the mentor who guide us, the communities that sustain us, and those whom we love and who love us, and who ultimately define the people we are. Throughout generations history teaches us life. Yet, we form life mutational occurrence around us that decides our destiny. In our time, few individuals and organizations control the available human sources to overstep the masses' self-determination and human dignity mostly women. More severally, is, the women in the Arab world. Despite of Arab history of democracy, today the people and the government are not connected, they do not know their needs, or if they are responsible for each other because there is no electrons now. Therefore, the Arab nation is divided and lost.

Government effects humans life. Education, war, peace, the water we drink, the air we breathe, jobs, health, public safety, and all. Arab men and women need to stand for themselves. The masses, men and women want to participate in building their society through decision making process, people want to be counted, in the world and have the voice of free choice to create a dignified leadership. The missing of leadership including the participatory choices, lead men to clime deeper religious strength and practicing some colonial abrasive culture on women instead. During and after the colonial era, the weak one leader or men in general do not want to acknowledge women's leadership of the past because even men could not reach it in the Arab world. The one leader govern is not to his benefit to free education or educate the nation on women's history or even on the good culture and democracy that women established in the Arab region.


The Queen of Sheba was, according to history and the Qur'an, in the habit of never making a decision without consulting her chieftains. In this context, the Glorious


Democratization is a must should there be equality and a normality of life to include women. The role of government is to serve society and help people govern themselves independently. Thus, democratization cannot be true without women's political participation. As regards the terms Shura (Mutual Consultation) and democracy, according to Dr. Ja`far Sheikh Idris, professor of Islamic studies, Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences, Washington, states. There is thus nothing in the concept which makes it intrinsically Islamic. And as a matter of fact Shura in one form or the other was practiced even before Islam. An Arab Bedouin is reported to have said, "Never do I suffer a misfortune that is not suffered by my people." When asked how come, he said, "Because I never do anything until I consult them, astasheeruhum." It is also said that Arab noblemen used to be greatly distressed if a matter was decided without their Shura. Non-Arabs also practiced it. Qur'an narrates: "She (the Queen of Sheba) said: O chieftains! Lo pronounce for me in my case. I decide no Case till you are present with me” (An-Namal: 31, 32, and 33). This particular context was after she had read the letter of Prophet Solomon to her people that he asked her to become believer, Muslims.


Such principle of Shura, democracy and the considerable traditional of women rule are missing now. There isn’t any reference to history, religion, or promises of a any political constitution such as the case of Yemen and Egypt. These two countries’ presidents are in power for more than 30 years for instance. Decision should be mad democratically by the people, if not these few leaders should be held accountable in front of the world community, and the United Nations. Any decision or rule arbitrarily made without the people's consents can be illegal. Who can be responsible for human's rights, or the undemocratic regimes? Other nations should not deal with such leaders. If they are over stated their time in position with too much troubles, their decision should be illegally to be made,, and should not be taken into consideration by any government.


I begin to think about my task in life when I felt alone that my mother had to work as the only parent when my father traveled far a way for many years. I could be living in the dark if I did not insisted on education. I could be where I would not be able to see or be aware of facts around me that I see now. I did not understand why there weren’t schools or for what reason women like my mother and her neighbors weren’t educated. I did not know whey we did not have a responsible democratic government despite our great history of women and the presented democratic rule.
