How do women fit into islam?
What is their fate?

This has been the subject of many a debate
'for the believing men and women, is a great reward'
this is from surah al azaab, the words of our Lord
it can be seen from reading the holy Quran
that a woman has some privilege over a man
praying is exempted during menstruation
here islam gives women consideration
a woman after marriage becomes a wife
for nine long months she carries new life
during childbirth she is exempted to fast
islam is against the burying of girls in the past
they can pray at the mosque or even at home
they may marry or divorce ,its their choice, their own
after marriage she can retain her old maiden name
and is rewarded for treating all her offspring the same
once they are married they should live pious lives
'and the best men are those who are best to their wives'
islam shows equality my sisters and brothers
don't forget paradise lies at the feet of your mothers
women in the UK had property rights from 1938
this right was given by islam, 14 centuries to date
in the UK, women could vote from 1918
this was stated 1400 years ago in islam our deen
women can work and lead a happily married life
but shouldn't neglect her role as mother and wife
a woman for her child's upbringing, deserves her credit
islam also gives a woman the right to inherit
a woman's status in islam, we should never neglect


in islam they are favoured and deserve their respect!

Every child whether male or female is a blessing from Allah (SWT). The Noble Quran states that:
"He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He will, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He will Or He bestows both male and females, and He renders barren whom He wills. Verily, He is the All-Knower and is Able to do all things. [ Surah 42 : 49 - 50]

However, in the days of jahiliyah ( ignorance ) the birth of a daughter was a matter of great sadness for the parents. Newborn girls used to be buried alive as is evident from the following verse in the Quran:

"And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision." (An-Nahl 16:58-59)

It's a pity that even in today's world, in some cultures the birth of a daughter is a matter of disappointment rather than joy for the family members. The mother is blamed for the daughter's birth even though medical science clearly proves that it's the male sperm that's responsible for the child's gender. Cases where the man chooses to remarry simply to beget a son are not unheard of. No doubt raising daughters and protecting them from the evils of the world is a great responsibility but perhaps that's why the reward from Allah (SWT) is also so great. Even in worldly matters , today daughters are no less than sons in any field. Rather we find that daughters serve their parents more than sons in their old age.
