GENDER EQUALITY IN ISLAM


 Islam is a religion of peace.


Islam provides women a position of honor and respect, with clearly stated rights and obligations

The Quran affords legal protections in the areas of marriage, divorce, and inheritance that are considered to mark a vast improvement over the situation of women in pre-Islamic society.

The Quran cites men as the protectors of women, the righteousness of the latter defined in terms of obedience to males

Islam does support equality, where both men and women have the right to voice out their opinion and to stand with their own principles as long as it did not contradict the teaching of Islam.

In Islam women are freed from many of the problems and concerns that are assumed by men, a situation which they often feel is not easy to be given up.
