women in islam

Role of women in society is significantly shifts from previous lines. Now women are practically participating in every walk of life. We saw them as holder of public offices and delivering on key posts. Their life style is changed. Even a women living in village try to follow latest standers of style. They are trying enhancing their role and work side by side with their counter part. So many theories are here about role of women in society. Women have 4 honorable designations according to Islam.

1-      Mother

2-      Sister

3-      Daughter

4-      Wife

These all are very beautiful and distinguish relations. In western society these relations are not working properly. They expand her role, that’s why she becomes a commodity. To see the views of Islam on the role of woman in society, we must see what the Holy Qur'an says about her role and place in society. Islam says both man and woman are same by nature.

ALLAH (SWT) says in Holy Quran

“He (Allah) made all of you from one being, and from that being He made its mate”

Islam says that women can participate in society energetically but within some limits and one of them is veil.

ALLAH (SWT) ordered in Holy Quran:

"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad)."

It is a reality that Islam gives honor to women and before the arrival of Holy Prophet (PBUH) women were in worst condition. Islam gives them an honorable status in the world.
