The Position of Women in Islam
THE POSITION OF WOMEN IN ISLAM
The position of women in society has often been the subject of much debate. Islam’s position regarding this has usually been presented to the Western reader with tittle objectivity.
This paper is intended to provide a brief and accurate explanation of the Islamic stance, drawing upon the authentic sources of the Qur’an (God’s final revelation) and Hadeeth (sayings, actions and approvals of Prophet Muhammad, (P).
The paper begins with a look at the position of women in pre-Islamic societies. It then focuses on some major questions: what does Islam teach regarding the position of women in society?
How does this stance differ from,or resemble, the position of women in the era in which Islam was revealed?
Finally, how does this compare with the rights gained by women in recent decades?Describing the status of Indian women, the Encyclopaedia Brittanica states: “In India, subjection was a cardinal principle.
Day and night women must be held by their protectors in a state of dependence says Manu.
The rule of inhertance was agnatic, that is, descent traced through males to the exclusion of females”
2 And according to the Hindu scripture, a good wife is described as “… a woman whose mind, body and speech are kept in subjection; acquires high renown in this world and, in the next, retains the same abode as her husband.”3
