1!How Were Women Treated In Islam In Past And Present?
In the past men and women were never equal, even now sometimes there is still gender inequality. The Holy Quran has given the same status to men and women as it says that they are both from the same origin and due to this fact women should not be looked down upon men as lower creatures. In Islam, if you think about religion women and men were moral equals in Gods sight. They are equals in religion, but not identical gender roles are precisely defined. Similarly, the rights, roles, and responsibilities of women are evenly balanced with those of men but are not necessarily the same. Islam considered the woman as a worthy human being, with a share in humanity equal to that of the man. They were expected to fulfil the same duties of worship, prayer, faith, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage to Mecca. Islam improved women’s status, compared to other cultures that came before or that were there at the same time as

Islam. Women all across the world were deprived of inheritance of a property and it was given to men. The sharia gave Muslim women specific legal rights concerning marriage, family, and property. Women are not forced to earn or spend any money on housing, food, or general expenses. When they go out in public, they were expected to be veiled. Their appearance was and still is really modest, it highlights a womans personality character instead of her physical figure and promotes a deeper appreciation for who she is or was as a person. Men and women, each played a unique role to mutually uphold social morality and societal balance. Islam gave women the right to education, to marry someone of their decision, to maintain their name after marriage, to divorce, to work, to own and sell a property, to seek protection by the law, to vote, and to participate in civic and political engagement. Nonetheless, Muslim women were still expected to submit to men and their responsibilities varied with the income of their husbands. In this essay, I am going to write about women as mothers, about their marriage, and their education.
