Introduction
The status of women in society is
neither a new issue nor is it a fully settled one. The position of Islam on
this issue has been among the subjects presented to the Western reader with the
least objectivity.
The teachings of Islam are based essentially
on the Qur'an (God's revelation) and
Hadeeth (elaboration by Prophet Muhammad).
The Qur'an and the Hadeeth, properly and
unbiasedly understood, provide the basic source of authentication for any position or view which is attributed to
Islam. It then focuses on these major questions:
What is the position of Islam regarding
the status of woman in society?
How similar or different is that position from "the
spirit of the time,"
which was dominant when Islam was
revealed? How would this compare
with the "rights" which were
finally gained by woman in recent decades?
