How do Islamic women feel in Islam?

Answer 1

Islam teaches that woman is complementary to man and is the other half of human being. She has the same rights and duties as man. She is responsible of her doings and sayings in front of God on the day of judgement. Prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to deal with women kindly and with sympathy. He said that the Paradise is under the feet of mothers.

Further answer

The above answer is the official teaching of Islam, in the same way that Women in History are officially regarded as equal in the Christian Church.

However, there are those of some religions who would oppress women and cherry pick passages from either The Bible or Koran to enable their own prejudices to be backed up by 'scripture'. In this way, throughout history, women have been oppressed and treated harshly by those who have interpreted scripture wrongly to suit their own ends. This results in some Islamic states treating women as second class citizens - for example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, nor can they get a similar education to men.

This, although Islam officially regards women as equal to men, there are many cases where they are treated as inferior. This prejudice is not restricted to Islam however, as both the Christian Church and Judaism are also both guilty.

Answer 2

Women, before Islam, were looked for as inferior to men. Even, after Jesus women were looked as evil souls and were deprived from having their own properties, signing contracts, doing business, expressing opinions, or even having their own opinions to whom they get married with. Islam is the first religion that settled the rules of woman rights and considers woman as complementary to man with each having equal rights. Muslim women were given rights in the 7th century that were only given to Western Christian women just in the 19th century. Refer to related link below for more information.

Mothers is Islam are highly honored even more than fathers.

Islam is a fair religion, it gives equal rights to women, Muslims who mistreat , abuse and suppress women are not the true followers of Islam . The oppression seen today is all a result of cultural and social influences. In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to God is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct. The Qur'an says:

And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women. (2:226)

The Qur'an, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression,'believing men and women' to emphasize the equality of men and women in regard to their respective duties, rights, virtues and merits.
