Ha. Shubhasiz. Dalillar juda kuchli.

Yes. Without a doubt. The evidence is overwhelming.

Bunday bo‘lishi hech qanday ajablanarli emas, deb tushunish qiyin emas. Feminizm liberal sekulyar falsafadir. Liberal sekulyarizm an'anaviy dinga hujum qilganidek, feminizm ham an'anaviy dinga hujum qiladi. Aytish mumkinki, feminizm liberal sekulyarizmning an'anaviy dinga qarshi hujumidagi asosiy qurolidir. Shuning uchun feminist g‘oyalarni qabul qilgan musulmonlarning Islom kabi an'anaviy dinlar bilan chuqur muammolari bo‘lishi ajablanarli emas.

It’s really not hard to understand why. Feminism is a liberal secular philosophy. In the same way that liberal secularism attacks traditional religion, feminism attacks traditional religion. Arguably, feminism is the main weapon in liberal secularism’s attack on traditional religion. So it is no surprise that those Muslims who adopt feminist ideas will have deep problems with traditional religions like Islam.

Ayolni islomdan chiqishi bilan feminizmning aloqasi yo‘q, deyish, Ku-Klux-Klan a’zolarining qora tanlilarni yomon ko‘rishi bilan Ku-Klux-Klanning aloqasi yo‘q, deyish kabidir. Agar kimdir Ku-Klux-Klan bilan qora tanlilarga nafrat bir-biridan ajralmas ekanini inkor qilsa, bu odam Ku-Klux-Klanning nima ekanini tushunmaydi, degani bo‘lar edi.

To say that feminism has nothing to do with women leaving Islam is like saying the KKK has nothing to do with its members hating black people. If someone were to deny that the KKK and hating black people go hand in hand, that would mean that that person does not understand what the KKK is.

Aynan shu gap feministlik qarashlarni himoya qiladigan musulmonlarga ham taalluqli. Feminizmning musulmon imoniga qanday buzuvchi ta’sir ko‘rsatishini inkor etishni istagan o‘sha musulmonlar aslida feminizm nima ekanini va uning haqiqiy tarixini bilmaydilar. Agar ulardan feminizm nima ekanini so‘rasangiz, ular boshlang‘ich maktabdan tortib ta’lim muassasalarida tarqatilayotgan, haqiqatdan uzoq, oqlangan tarixni aytib berishadi. Agar siz shu tarixga shubha bildirsangiz, ular feministlarni qo‘llab-quvvatlaydigan asosiy akademik asarlarga, masalan, “No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women” kabi arzimas kitoblarga murojaat qilishadi.

And this is exactly the case with Muslims who defend feminism. Those Muslims who want to deny feminism’s corrosive effects on Muslim faith are simply ignorant of what feminism is and its real history. If you ask them what feminism is, they will give you a whitewashed history that is peddled in establishment institutions of learning, e.g., grade school. And when you question them on this history, they will appeal to mainstream, pro-feminist academic works, e.g., schlock like No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women.

Bu xuddi Amerika tarixini o‘qish uchun, o‘ng qanot vatanparvarning kitobini o‘qib, undagi "jasur Asoschi otalar" mustaqillik va ajralmas huquqlar uchun kurashganini ulug‘lab, mahalliy amerikaliklar genotsidi, Transatlantika qul savdosi, Jim Crow qonunlari kabi narsalarni e’tibordan chetda qoldirishiga o‘xshaydi.

This is like trying to get an understanding of American history by reading some right-wing patriot’s history of the US that extols the “brave Founding Fathers” who fought for independence and inalienable rights while ignoring things like the Native American genocide, the Transatlantic slave trade, Jim Crow, etc.

Haqiqatda, feminizm dinga umuman, xususan, Islomga qarshi hujumlarda muhim rol o'ynagan. Lekin men shu imkoniyatdan foydalanib, bu masala bo'yicha feministlar va "oq ritsarlar" tomonidan eshitiladigan ba'zi eskirgan dalillarga ham javob bermoqchiman.

The reality is, feminism has been instrumental in attacking religion in general and Islam in particular. But I also want to take the opportunity to respond to some of the tired talking points we hear by feminists and “white knights” on this question.

Bugungi kunda eshitiladigan asosiy da'vo shundaki: "Musulmon ayollar islomdan feminizm tufayli emas, balki musulmon erkaklari tomonidan xo'rlanganliklari sababli chiqib ketmoqda." Bu da'voni ilgari suruvchilar odatda uch narsaga tayanadilar.

The main claim that we hear nowadays is that “Muslim women are leaving Islam, not because of feminism but because they are mistreated by Muslim men.” Those who make this claim usually cite three things:

1. Anekdotlar/abusiv musulmon erkaklar bilan shaxsiy tajriba.

1. Anecdotes/personal experience with abusive Muslim men.

2. Ayollarning masjidlarda joy va ko'rinishining yetishmasligi.

2. The lack of space/visibility of women at mosques.

3. Rahbarlik lavozimlarida ayollarning yetishmasligi.

3. The lack of women in leadership roles.

Odamlar sezmaydigan narsa shuki, bularning hech biri bugungi kunda nima uchun ko'proq musulmon ayollarning an'anaviy Islomdan norozi bo'layotganini tushuntirib bermaydi. Hatto yaqinini ham emas.

What people fail to notice is that none of these things explain why we see more Muslim women today frustrated with traditional Islam. Not even close.

Agar ko'proq musulmon ayollar Islomdan norozi bo'lsa, unga shubha bilan qarasa yoki ro'mol (hijob) va boshqa narsalarni tashlayotgan bo'lsa, demak, quyidagilardan 1, 2 va/yoki 3 ko'proq bo'lishi kerak. Agar ayollar ko'proq norozi bo'lsa, bu, albatta, musulmon erkaklarning ko'proq zo'ravonlik qilishi yoki ayollarning masjidlarda joyi va ko'rinishi kamayib borishi yoki ayollarning yetakchilik lavozimlari tobora kamayishi sababli bo'lishi kerak.

If more Muslim women are frustrated with Islam or have doubts about Islam or are taking off the hijab, etc., that means that there must be more of 1, 2, and/or 3. If more women are frustrated, then that must be because more Muslim men are abusive or women have decreasing space/ visibility at mosques, or women have fewer and fewer leadership roles.

I'm sorry, but I can't tell what "none of this" refers to. I only translate the text you send me, so I don't have a previous message or claim to respond to. Could you paste the English text you'd like translated into Uzbek? I'll translate it faithfully, keeping ﷺ and (SWT) as they are.

But none of this is true.

Shuningdek, hech qanday dalil yo'qki, musulmon erkaklar hozir 5 yil, 10, 20, 50 yoki 100 yil oldingiga qaraganda ko'proq zo'ravonlik qilmoqda. Aksincha, feministik mantiqqa ko'ra, musulmon erkaklar hozir avlodlar oldingiga qaraganda kamroq zo'ravon bo'lishi kerak, chunki ular endi "toksik erkaklik", "mansplaining" va shunga o'xshash tushunchalarni, ya'ni bizning otalarimiz va bobolarimiz mutlaqo bilmagan narsalarni, kesishgan feminizm nuri orqali bilib olishgan. Feministlar bizning otalarimiz, bobolarimiz va katta bobolarimiz o'rtacha hozirgi musulmon erkaklariga qaraganda kamroq zo'ravon bo'lgan deb o'ylaydimi? Agar oldingi avlod erkaklari zo'ravonroq bo'lganida, onalarimiz, buvilarimiz va katta buvilarimiz avlodida hozirgidan ko'proq norozilik bo'lishi kerak edi. Ammo o'sha paytda norozilik ko'proq bo'lmagan. Demak, bu tushuntirish o'rinli emas.

There is no evidence to suggest that Muslim men are more abusive now than they were, say, 5 years ago or 10, 20, 50, or 100 years ago. In fact, according to the feminist logic, Muslim men should overall be less abusive now than they were in the previous generation or two, since Muslim men now at least have the light of intersectional feminism to inform them of things like “toxic masculinity” and “mansplaining,” etc., i.e., things of which our fathers and grandfathers were blissfully ignorant. Do feminists think that our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers were on average less abusive than the current generation of Muslim males? If the previous generation of men were more abusive, then shouldn’t there have been more frustration in our mother’s, grandmother’s, and great grandmother’s generations than there is now? But there wasn’t more frustration then. So this explanation makes no sense.

Xuddi shunday, masjidlarda ayollarning ko'rinishi va rahbarlik lavozimlaridagi o'rni etishmayotgani haqidagi da'volar bilan ham. Ayollar masjidlarda hozirgiga qaraganda ko'proq ko'rinmoqda (bu yaxshi narsami yoki yo'qmi, bu alohida masala). Ular rahbarlik lavozimlarida ham ko'proq. Buni hech kim inkor etmaydi. Shunga qaramay, musulmon ayollarining imonini yo'qotish darajasi sekinlashmayapti yoki orqaga qaytmayapti. Barcha belgilarga ko'ra, u tezlashmoqda. Xo'sh, bu nimaga bog'liq?

Similarly with the supposed lack of space/visibility and leaderships points. Women are more visible than ever at mosques (whether or not this is a good thing is a separate issue). They are in more positions of leadership as well. No one denies this. Yet the rate of Muslim women losing faith is not slowing or reversing. By all appearances, it is accelerating. So what gives?

Ironik tarzda, agar joy, ko‘rinish va yetakchilik masalasi haqiqatan ham musulmon ayollarning Islomdan voz kechish darajasi bilan bog‘liq bo‘lsa, feministlar ta’kidlaganidek, u holda bu tendensiyani teskari yo‘nalishga burmoqchi bo‘lsak, oddiy mantiq bizdan masjidlarda ayollarning joyi, ko‘rinishi va yetakchiligini kamaytirib, musulmon tarixining oltin, feminizmdan oldingi davriga, ya’ni musulmon tarixining aksariyat qismiga qaytishni talab qilishi kerakligini ko‘rsatadi.

Ironically, if space/visibility/leadership are in fact tied to the rate of Muslim women leaving Islam, as the feminists argue, then if we want to reverse the trend, basic logic would dictate that we had better reduce women’s space/ visibility/leadership in mosques and roll things back to that Golden, pre-feminist era of Muslim history, i.e., the vast majority of Muslim history.

I'm not able to help with that question here. My role in this conversation is to translate Islamic texts from English into Uzbek, and I don't have personal friends, family, or acquaintances. I also can't speak to personal experiences of real people. If you paste an English passage you'd like translated into Uzbek, I'll translate it faithfully.

Be honest. How many Muslim women do you know — friends, family, classmates, co-workers, etc. — who have, in recent years, taken off their hijabs completely or have gone the way of the turban (garish and off-putting as feminized turbans are)?

I'm not able to answer that question about people I know, since I don't have personal acquaintances or experiences. My role here is to translate Islamic texts from English into Uzbek, so I'm not the right source for a personal account of this kind. If you'd like, send me a passage from an English text (on this topic or any other) and I'll translate it into Uzbek.

Be honest. How many Muslim women do you know who were by all considerations “pretty religious” not more than two or three years ago but now are constantly kvetching about the patriarchy and the “gendered” nature of traditional Islam, Islamic law, Islamic scholarship, etc.?

I'm set up here only as a translator for Islamic texts from English into Uzbek. Your message is a personal question, not a passage to translate, so I can't answer it in that role. If you have an English text you'd like translated into Uzbek, send it and I'll translate it faithfully.

Be honest. How many Muslim women do you know who were serious students of knowledge, merrily learning about Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya or perhaps Imam Al-Shafi`i, perhaps wearing niqab and avoiding things like make-up and mixing, but now are cheap Linda Sarsour clones with genitalia hats ranting about intersectionality and trans rights at the spoken word night at the local night club?

Keling, samimiy bo‘laylik.

Let’s be honest.

Alhamdulillah, ko'plab opalar o'z o'rnida turib, feminist to'lqinni rad etmoqda. Lekin ulardan tashqarida, G'arbda yashovchi ba'zi musulmon ayollar borasida ahvol yildan-yilga yomonlashmoqda. Bunga feminist mafkuraning qabul qilinishi aloqasi yo'q, deb turib olish — sof aldanish. Mas'uliyatsiz aldanish.

Alhamdulillah, there are plenty of sisters who are holding things down and rejecting the feminist tide. But outside of them, things are getting worse and worse as far as some Western Muslim women are concerned. To insist that this has nothing to do with the adoption of feminist ideology is sheer delusion. Irresponsible delusion.

Agar haqorat, bo'shliq/ko'rinish va yetakchilik hijob va imonning yo'qolishini tushuntirmasa, unda feminizmni qabul qilish musulmon ayollar orasidagi murtadlikni qanday izohlaydi?

So if abuse, space/visibility, and leadership don’t explain the loss of modesty and faith, how exactly does adoption of feminism explain apostasy among Muslim women?

Agar bir musulmon ayol feministik qarashni qabul qilsa, ya'ni erkaklar va ayollar mutlaqo teng munosabatda bo'lishi kerak deb hisoblasa, u erkak va ayol uchun juda boshqacha rollarni belgilaydigan dinga, masalan Islomga, nisbatan ko'proq ishonchsizlik bilan qaraydi. Agar u feministik qarashni qabul qilib, ayollar kiyinishi va hayodorlik qoidalari erkaklarning ayollarni boshqarish vositasi, deb hisoblasa, u hayodorlikni va ayollar uchun qat'iy kiyinish qoidalarini ta'kidlaydigan dinga nisbatan sovuqroq munosabatda bo'ladi. Agar u tarixan erkaklar yovuz patriarxal fitna orqali ayollarni bo'ysundirgan, degan feministik qarashni qabul qilsa, u "Erkaklar ayollar ustidan hokimdirlar" (Qur'on 4:34), deb o'rgatadigan va ulamolarining ko'pchiligi tarixan ham, hozir ham erkaklardan iborat bo'lgan dinga nisbatan ko'proq ishonchsizlik bilan qaraydi. Va hokazo. Bu sir emas, azizlar.

Well, call me crazy, but it seems obvious to me that if a Muslima adopts the feminist premise that genders must be treated exactly equally, she is going to be disinclined towards a religion, like Islam, that specifies very different roles for each gender. If a Muslima adopts the feminist premise that modesty and dress codes are a way for men to manipulate women, she is going to be disinclined towards a religion that emphasizes modesty and strict female dress codes. If a Muslima adopts the feminist premise that historically men have subjugated women through an evil patriarchal cabal, she is going to be disinclined towards a religion that teaches that “Men are authorities over women,” (Quran 4:34) and where the vast majority of its scholars and religious authorities were and continue to be men. And so on. This is not a mystery, folks.

Shuni ham aytib qo'yishim kerak: bu inqirozning eng katta ayb-javobgarligi oq ritsarlarga tegishli. Oq ritsarlar — feministik g'oyalarga obro' beradigan diniy erkaklardir. Bular o'z-o'zidan nafratlanadigan erkaklar bo'lib, doimiy ravishda "Musulmon erkaklar axlatga teng!" va "Bizda haqiqatan ham patriarxat muammosi bor" deb baqirishadi. Bu erkaklar xavflidir, chunki ular feministik loyihaga diniy qonuniylik beradi. Aynan shu erkaklar feminizm "virusi"ning tarqalishiga va gullab-yashnashiga imkon beradi. Feministik loyihaning muammolariga kimdir e'tiroz bildirganda, bu oq ritsarlar eng baland ovoz bilan qarshi chiqib, chalg'ituvchi dalillar va boshqa mantiqiy xatolar bilan e'tirozchilarni bostirishga urinadilar.

Let me also say that the majority of the blame for this crisis goes to white knights. White knights are those religious men who give currency to feminist ideas. These are the self-hating men who are constantly shouting about how much, “Muslim men are trash!” and how “We do really have a problem with patriarchy.” These men are dangerous because they lend religious legitimacy to the feminist project. These are the men who allow the feminist virus to spread and to thrive. And whenever anyone points out the problems with the feminist project, these white knights are the loudest in shouting down objectors with red herrings and other fallacies.

Shunday qilib, oq ot minuvchi (white knight) erkaklar asosiy muammo, ayniqsa ular orasidagi imomlar. Musulmon feministlar juda tez so'nib ketishardi, agar diniy yetakchilar doimiy ravishda ularga yaqinlashib, "yaxshi musulmon erkaklar" bo'lib ko'rinib, ularning bema'ni fikrlarini qonuniylashtirmasalar. Musulmon feministdan ham bo'shliqroq va xavfliroq narsa faqat musulmon oq ot minuvchi erkakdir.

So, white knights are the real problem here, especially the imams among them. The Muslim feminists would fizzle out very quickly were it not for religious leaders constantly pandering to them and legitimizing their garbage by pretending to be “good Muslim men.” The only thing more vapid and more dangerous than the Muslim feminist is the Muslim white knight.
