Why quote out of context? Seriously what was that ayat about?
[Quran 16:71] And Allah has favored some of you over others in provision.
But those who were favored would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allah they reject?
Surah An-Nahl 16:71-76 -

take note:
On the contrary, when the verse is considered in its context, it becomes quite obvious that it is no more than the statement of a fact to prove the same theme that is contained in this passage. It argues like this: When you yourselves do not make your servants and slaves equal partners in your wealth, which in fact is given to you by Allah, how is it that you join other gods with God in your gratitude to Him for the favors with which He has blessed you. You know that these gods have no powers to bestow anything on anyone, and, therefore, have no right in your worship of Allah, for they are after all His slaves and servants.
This interpretation of the verse under discussion is corroborated by (
Surah Ar-Room, Ayat 28): “Allah sets forth to you an instance from your own selves. Do your slaves share with you the wealth We have bestowed on you so that you and they become equals in this? And do you fear them as you fear one another? Thus We make clear Our signs to those who use their common sense.” A comparison of the two verses makes it quite clear that these have been cited to bring home to the mushriks that they themselves do not associate their slaves with themselves in their wealth and status, but they have the impudence and folly to set up His own creature as partner with God. It appears that the erroneous interpretation has been strengthened by the succeeding sentence: What! do they then deny to acknowledge Allah’s favor?
So saying this crap is not justified at all:
we can easily refute this...
The meaning of a slave is a person who has no say, has no value and is a property....Now once Islam gives rights to a slave, where you are responsible for his/her health, his/her well being and many more things...the word slave can be removed as it no longer is in context with slavery!
this website explains it a little better:

How did you misinterpret the part in red? MARRY ONE OR not marry one AND! And towards the end the MORE SUITABLE point is highlighted! Please read the whole verse before concluding or writing essays!
May I as where did you get the one in red for sure not from the Quran:
Do not marry unbelieving women until they believe.
A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though if she attracts you. And
not marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe.
A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though if he attracts you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the fire but Allah beckons by His grace to the garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His signs clear to mankind; that they may receive admonition. (al-Baqarah, 221).
(Lawful unto you in marriage are chaste women who are believers and chaste women among the people of the book. (al-Ma'idah, 5).
As for law of Pakistan...is law of Pakistan not law of Islam!
Well, a woman is a princess it is nice if she has a wali with her...even in a Christian marriage the father gives away his daughter....I dont see how this is in any case even significant to be taken into account...Every parent wants to be there for the marriage or be involved how is this degrading or coming against UN human rights thing?
Have you asked why? Coz for the woman, it is the DUTY of the man to provide...even in the West if the man there is a saying REAL MEN WORK AND LOOK AFTER THEIR WOMEN...so again how is this attacking anything from human rights point of view?
Hence, if the guy has his mother, unwed sisters and wife to look after while the sister has her husband while the other unwed sister is being looked after by the guy, who would require more?
So you plan to be a bum and live off the wifey? When I say this why would you feel offended? If you are saying this is against HUMAN RIGHTS OF UN...then apparently you want the opposite, right? If not then how is this relevant? Plus the word superior is never used in the Quran...so please dont add your own words ..thank you!
STRIKE is a harsh word esp when you use a miswak to hit and NOT leave any impressions...and besides THAT IS THE LAST STANCE!
It is important to read the section fully. One should not take part of the verse and use it to justify one's own misconduct. This verse neither permits violence nor condones it. It guides us to ways to handle delicate family situation with care and wisdom. The word "beating" is used in the verse, but it does not mean "physical abuse". The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) explained it "dharban ghayra mubarrih" which means "a light tap that leaves no mark". He further said that face must be avoided. Some other scholars are of the view that it is no more than a light touch by siwak, or toothbrush.
Generally, the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) used to discourage his followers from taking even this measure. He never hit any female, and he used to say that the best of men are those who do not hit their wives. In one Hadith he expressed his extreme repulsion from this behavior and said, "How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then embrace (sleep with) her?” (Al-Bukhari, English Translation, vol. 8, Hadith 68, pp. 42-43)
It is also important to note that even this "light strike" mentioned in the verse is not to be used to correct some minor problem, but it is permissible to resort to only in a situation of some serious moral misconduct when admonishing the wife fails, and avoiding from sleeping with her would not help. If this disciplinary action can correct a situation and save the marriage, then one should use it."
I see you have analyzed it:
I dont know why you want to hear out Ibn Katheer when all you need is the meanings of the words and then use your brain as to what it means...nowhere is the word superior used...stronger yes, it is not a lie MEN ARE STRONGER....
Why cut the ayat short? Why didnt you give the full ayat?
O you who have believed, when you
contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice (contract). Let no scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah , his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice.
And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allah and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allah . And Allah teaches you. And Allah is Knowing of all things.(Quran 2:282)
Now the verse clearly says this holds true for FINANCIAL purposes...it is NOT ISLAM's fault that MANY
people use this for EVERYTHING!!
Rest I will read and answer later
