Women's Role in Society's Reform

All Praise is due to Allah, We praise Him and we seek help from Him. We ask forgiveness from Him. We repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our own evils and our own bad deeds. Anyone who is guided by Allah, he is indeed guided; and anyone who has been left astray, will find no one to guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the Only One without any partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is His servant, and His messenger. Allah has sent him with the guidance and true religion; hence he transmitted the message, guided the Umma (People), and sincerely fought in the way of Allah. Therefore, Allah’s peace and prayers be upon him, his family, company and whoever follows him till the Day of Judgment.

Domestic Violence

O you who have believed, indeed, among your spouses and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon and overlook and forgive – then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allah has with Him a great reward. (Qur'an 64:14-15)

The Qur'an & Women

By: Muslim

The status of the woman in Islam is something unique, something like a novel, something that has no similarity in any other system. If we look to the Eastern Communist world or to the democratic nations, we find that the woman is not really in a happy position. Her status is not enviable. She has to work so hard to live, and sometimes she may be doing the same job that a man does but her wage is less than his. She enjoys a kind of liberty which in some cases amounts to libertinism. To get to where she is nowadays, the woman struggled hard for decades and centuries. To gain the right of learning and the freedom of working and earning, she had to offer painful sacrifices and give up many of her natural rights. To establish her status as a human being possessing a soul, she paid heavily. Yet in spite of all these costly sacrifices and painful struggles, she has not acquired what Islam has established by a Divine decree for the Muslim woman.
