Women in Islam
How do women fit into
Islam? What is their fate?
This has been the subject of many a debate
‘for the believing men and women, is a
great reward’
this is from Surah al Ahzaab, the words of
our Lord
it can be seen from reading the Holy Quran
that a woman has some privilege over a
man
praying is exempted during menstruation
here Islam gives women consideration
a woman after marriage becomes a wife
for nine long months she carries new life
during childbirth she is exempted to fast
Islam is against the burying of girls in
the past
they can pray at the mosque or even at
home
they may marry or divorce ,its their
choice, their own
after marriage she can retain her old
maiden name
and is rewarded for treating all her
offspring the same
once they are married they should live
pious lives
‘and the best men are those who are best
to their wives’
Islam
shows equality my sisters and brothers
don’t forget paradise lies at the feet of
your mothers
women in the
UK had property rights from 1938
this right was given by Islam, 14
centuries to date
in the
UK, women could vote from 1918
this was stated 1400 years ago in Islam
our deen
women can work and lead a happily married
life
but shouldn’t neglect her role as mother
and wife
a woman for her child’s upbringing,
deserves her credit
Islam
also gives a woman the right to inherit
a woman’s status in Islam, we should never
neglect
in Islam they are favoured and deserve
their respect.
