The rights of women in Islam 2024

Clothing provides comfort, warmth and security as well as
making one look good – this is how the relationship between
the husband and wife is defined in Islam

Love & Mercy in Spousal Relations

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also encouraged men
to treat their spouses in the best
way, “The best of you are
those who are best
(in treatment) to their
wives.”
Aisha (the Prophet’s wife)
was once asked how the
Prophet’s conduct was
in his home. She said,
“He was like one of you
at home, yet he was most
lenient and most generous … He
was ready to give a helping hand to his
wives in the ordinary work of the house, [he] sewed his own
clothes and mended his own shoes.” In general, he helped in
whatever work his wives did

Lofty Positions of Mothers & Daughters

A mother has the greatest influence on a child especially
in the earlier years through her affection, care and love.
Undoubtedly, the success of a society is due to mothers.
Therefore, it is only right for Islam to honour and raise their
status

Allah says in the Qur’an“And we have
enjoined on man to
be dutiful and kind to his
Parents, His mother bears
him with hardship and
she brings him
forth with hardship.”
Qur’an 46:15

The Prophet (peace be upon
him) was once asked, “O
Messenger of Allah, who
among people is most
deserving of my good
treatment?” He said, “Your
mother.” The man asked
twice more, “Then who?” and
was given the same response
Only until the fourth time did the Prophet
respond, “Then your father

Reward is not only given to the good and kind treatment
towards mothers. In fact, Islam has designated a special
reward for raising daughters that is not granted for raising
sons.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said,
“Whoever Allah has given two daughters and is kind
towards them, they will be a reason for him entering
Paradise”

Conclusion

Before Islam, women were considered shameful, female
children were buried alive, prostitution was rampant,
divorce was only in the hands of the husband, inheritance
was only for the strong, and oppression was widespread.
Islam came and abolished these practices. Even now, in
“developed countries”, women are not granted respect,
dignity and honour, let alone equal pay for equal work. Islam,
however, regards women as precious and valuable, not to
be disrespected or disgraced. The mistreatment of women
in some Middle-Eastern countries or Muslim families is due
to cultural factors that some Muslims wrongly follow, not
because of Islam. Why would many women around the world
willingly enter Islam if it is an oppressive religionConclusion
