Hazrat, please forgive me.. I didn't say numbers are justifications for anything, thank you I have already said that i don't believe in studies. Please stop pushing them in my face. Sorry for being rude.

From Anas ibn Malik (RA):

لأحدثنكم حديثا لا يحدثكم أحد بعدي سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول من أشراط الساعة أن يقل العلم ويظهر الجهل ويظهر الزنا وتكثر النساء ويقل الرجال حتى يكون لخمسين امرأة القيم الواحد

“I will narrate a hadith which no one shall narrate after me. I heard Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: “From among the portents of the Hour: General ignorance (in religious affairs), illegal sexual intercourse (zina) will prevail, the increase of the number of women and the decrease of men so much so that for every fifty women there will be one man to look after them.”

- al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah, Ahmad,

This is what i base my statistics and Iman on.

Bro Ahmed, this hadith is literal. Rasool Allah clearly mentioned the increase of the number of women and the decrease of men.

It will not happen overnight.
Respected Brother, Assalaamoalaikum

“I will narrate a hadith which no one shall narrate after me. I heard Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: “From among the portents of the Hour: General ignorance (in religious affairs), illegal sexual intercourse (zina) will prevail, the increase of the number of women and the decrease of men so much so that for every fifty women there will be one man to look after them.” The hadith cannot be but true. The only problem in its interpretation is that the period is not specified. The only word that reflects the future is the word "....will....". The word "will" might have been the day after the hadith was reported, could have been one month after, one year after, one century after, one thousand years after or could happen when the end of times is close. The hadith unfortunately provides no indication.

The present statistics, however, are facts that are collected via a system that has been tried and proved correct. Such figures cannot be the subject of dispute. The interpretation of statistical data may, however, such as increase in cost of living that a government may wish to manipulate to fool the public. I don't see any reason why any government would manipulate the ratio of men to women in its country.

We muslims believe in the hadiths (no doubt, the majority)- but their interpretation is something else.

Brotherly yours
