Dignified Status of Woman
2:50:48 2023-10-11 704

Islamic law bestows upon woman the right of inheritance and the right of possessing and disposing of her property, when other communities of the world deprived her of her basic human rights.  Islam placed the eternal reward of Paradise under the feet of woman, in her capacity as mother.  The Prophet emphasized in his sermon on the mount Arafat, during his last pilgrimage to Makkah, as well as, in his last will on the death bed, that woman must be treated with kindness.  Islam also gave equal rights to men and women to acquire knowledge.   The Messenger of Allah said: "Acquisition of knowledge is an obligation on every believing man and every believing woman."  The key to any development is knowledge.  By giving woman a complete right to progress in the field of knowledge, Islam considers woman an indispensable partner of man for building a healthy and constructive society.

One of the outstanding achievements of the mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was to uplift the status, honor and dignity of woman, who was meted out a brutal and inhuman treatment in the pre-Islamic era.  Islam prepared woman to fulfil her social duties and become a dignified daughter, a respectable wife and a loving mother.  At each phase of her life, Islam elevated progressively, the respect to be given to womanhood.  She was not to be considered a mere chattel.  She was not to be exploited for economic and commercial ends.  She had a role to play, not only in protecting her household, but also in protecting the society as a whole.  Islam placed on her shoulder a co-responsibility of safeguarding the purity and sanctity of family environment, and that of generations to come.  The fabric of the society is shaken when woman leads the way towards social decadence.  Families are disintegrated and children are left to wander in wilderness, when woman fails in her obligations.
