O ignorance ocidental do mundo do Islam é quase total, mas se houver uma área sobretudo outra onde o vácuo do conhecimento estêve enchido o mais eficazmente com o misinformation, é que cercando o papel das mulheres no Islam. No contraste ao misconception comum, o Qur' não restrinja direitas das mulheres. As mulheres são dadas as mesmas direitas que os homens são. O status da mulher muçulmana no Islam é muito nobre e elevado, e seu efeito é muito grande na vida de cada muçulmano. Certamente a mulher muçulmana é o professor inicial em construir uma sociedade righteous, desde que segue a orientação do livro de Allah e do Sunnah do mensageiro (P).

O Qur' estados categorically que os homens e as mulheres que praticam os princípios do Islam receberão a recompensa igual para seus esforços. (Qur' 33:35). No primeiro verso do capítulo intitulado An-Nissa' (As mulheres), o deus diz:

De “humanidade O! Tenha cuidado de seu dever a seu senhor Que o criou de uma única alma e dele seu mate e deles ambos espalhou no exterior um multitude dos homens e das mulheres. Tenha cuidado de seu dever para Allah em quem você reivindicação (suas direitas) de uma outra, e para os wombs (esse furo você). Baixo! Allah foi um Watcher sobre você.” (Qur' 4:1)

Desde que os homens e as mulheres ambos vieram da mesma essência, são iguais em seu humanity. As mulheres não podem ser pela natureza evil (porque algumas religiões acreditam) ou então os homens seriam evil também. Similarmente, nenhum gender pode ser superior porque seria um contradiction da igualdade. As mulheres são incentivadas no Islam contribuir suas opiniões e idéias. Há muitas tradições do Prophet (pbuh) que indicam que as mulheres pose perguntas diretamente a ele e oferecem suas opiniões a respeito da religião, da economia e das matérias sociais.

O Qur' estados:

“Pela criação do macho e da fêmea; Verily, (o ye das extremidades) strive para é diverso.” (Qur' 92:3 - 4)

Nestes versos, o deus declara que criou homens e mulheres para ser diferente, com papéis originais, funções e habilidades. Como na sociedade, onde há uma divisão de trabalho, assim demasiado em uma família; cada membro tem responsabilidades diferentes. Generally, Islam upholds that women are entrusted with the nurturing role, and men, with the guardian role. Therefore, women are given the right of financial support.

The Qur’an states:

“Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend of their wealth (for the support of women).” (Qur’an 4:34)

This guardianship and greater financial responsibility is given to men, requires that they provide women with not only monetary support but also physical protection and kind and respectful treatment.

The Muslim woman has the privilege to earn money, the right to own property, to enter into legal contracts and to manage all of her assets in any way she pleases. She can run her own business and no one has any claim on her earnings including her husband.

The Qur’an states:

“And in no wise covet those things in which Allah hath bestowed His gifts more freely on some of you than on others; to men is allotted what they earn, and to women, what they earn; but ask All?of His bounty, for Allah hath full knowledge of all things.” (Qur’an 4:32)

A woman inherits from her relatives.

The Qur’an states:

“For men there is a share in what parents and relatives leave, and for women there is a share of what parents and relatives leave, whether it be little or much - an ordained share.” (Qur’an 4:7)

The great importance of the Muslim woman’s role whether as wife, sister, or daughter, and the rights that are due to her and the rights that are due from her have been explained in the noble Qur’? and further detailed of this have been explained in the Sunnah. The secret of her importance lies in the tremendous burden and responsibility that is placed upon her, and the difficulties she has to shoulder responsibilities and difficulties some of which not even a man bears. This is why from the most important obligations upon a person is to show gratitude to the mother, and kindness and good companionship with her. And in this matter, she is to be given precedence over and above the father. God Almighty says:

“And We have enjoined upon man to be good and dutiful to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness upon weakness and hardship upon hardship, and his weaning is in two years. Show gratitude and thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination.” (Qur’an 31:14)

    [Admin: Deleted for offensive remarks about Muslims. Shut up and get lost, you half-naked man worshiper. Under Shariah, a woman has more rights than what the Bible attributes to a woman.]

    Unfortunately, J_follower is a charlatan who pretends he knows exactly what Islam teaches, and yet when challenged to bring scriptural evidence, he fails over and over again. The guy needs to get a life.

    The greek language used in this text is very bad. Soeme of the sentences and phrases are meaningless for the greeks. The translation of the koranic verses are also very bad. The text needs revisioin so that can be read respectedly from the greeks.
