Surviving the Workday

I find it fascinating how interpretation seems to be just about everything with sacred writings. The Muslim Women’s League has an interesting position paper in which they discuss various interpretations of these verses from the Qu’ran:

Men shall take full care of women with the bounties which God has bestowed more abundantly on the former (men), than the latter (women) and with what they may spend out of their possessions. (4:34)

and

Men shall have a benefit from what they earn, and women shall have a benefit from what they earn. (4:32)
