| 1 | * FairForItsDay: Most {{Double Standard}}s, e.g about women and men, were rather progressive in their time. |
| 2 | * NightmareFuel: Sparsely so, but where they exist, they hit the readers hard. The depiction of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Qiyamah]] as well as {{Hell}} is enough to give you existential dread. [[ScareEmStraight Intentionally so.]] |
| 3 | * ParanoiaFuel: It's stated that TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt (and the Judgement Day that follows) will happen when you don't expect it, for the knowledge of it is Allah's alone. On the plus side, this means that whenever the doomsday hype of the day (such as 2012) reach fever height, you can relax and take it easy. It wont happen in that date, right? [[TemptingFate Right]]? |
| 4 | * ValuesDissonance: |
| 5 | ** In Islam it is stated that men and women have different roles to play in society, accounting to their different design. However in the eyes of God they will be judged fairly, with everything being taken into account for, from their actions and intentions, etc. Some Muslims believe that the Women's Rights Movement ''diminished'' a woman's life in comparison to what it was traditionally due to them carrying out a role they were not designed for: the internal affairs of a household and the raising of children. Men and women are meant to [[{{Foil}} complement each other]], from their actions to their rights upon each other. Oddly enough this is nearly identical to Catholic and mainline Christian views on the relationship of men and women, known as complementarianism. The issue is whether the government enforces faith-based teachings and to what extent. |
| 6 | ** While many modern Muslims absolutely abhor slavery, and Muhammad taught that all persons were equal in the eyes of their creator, one of the ways you can become a slave in Islam is by being [[BornIntoSlavery born a slave.]] |
| 7 | ** Surah An-Nisa also explicitly stated that Husbands are allowed to discipline their wives by beating in the 34th verse. While some translation specified that the beatings should be done lightly, said stipulation isn't actually mentioned in the original Arabic and many translations don't have it. |
| 8 | * ValuesResonance: Plenty of surah in Al-Quran about how the universe works have echoes in scientific theories. Several ayat, for example, explain that Earth and the heavens were made via decompression. |
