WOMEN RIGHTS

"It's Time For Implementation!"

Women rights have always been an important issue in the society of every country. people in the society are not well aware of women right and its importance. Women is seem as a weak creature of Allah.But it's the truth that women is one of the best creature of the world!

The sad pages of history only present crying voices and tears of women that break the heart the reader. All the big civilization of their time including Hubsha, Byzantine, Room, Greece, Egypt, China, Hindustan and Arabian Penusiuala ruined the women under the feet of brutality. Those who are claiming themselves the leaders and providers of women rights in today’s world were in fact the real usurper of women rights from centuries.

Being Muslim, women is given a great value and importance in Islam.

Holy prophet (S.A.W) said,
“Among you the most respectable is the one who respects women and the most dis respectable is the one who disrespect the women.”
The above instruction of holy prophet (S.A.W) declared the ground of honor and respect for a person in Deen-e-Islam. Islam gave women an honorable life and ignite the light of rights in her life. If I make the list of rights given,then it would be:

Social rights

-right to get education

-right to accept or reject marriage proposal

-right to get divers

-right to secrecy

-right to just treatment in case of polygamy

-right to entertain and dine out

-right to demand separate house

-right to deny doing all the chores of home

-right to dress  

Economic rights

-right to Inheritance

-right to ownership

-right to dowry

-right to maintenance (Iddah, child upbringing)

-right to seek employment

-right to do business

Legal and political rights

-right to be equal before law

-right to witness

-right to vote

-right to work on legal and political positions

 Before Islam women were extremely deteriorated by the society. Islam abolished all these dark practices and made the paradise under the feet of mother, guaranteed paradise to a father who brought up her daughters with love, assured paradise to the husband who care her wife and made sisters partners in the inheritance.

Today Muslim woman is facing problems NOT because of lack of her rights in Islam but due to the male driven and illiterate society. Islam promised women respect, honor and safety before and more than any other religion, civilization and moderation. Islam gave all rights to women before 15 centuries which any one can expect in today’s highly modern world.

For further classifications of women rights in Islam, I will publish the post soon..
