Islamic Sources argue that the position of women in Pre-Islamic Arab Society was very weak. The most commonly cited example of this is that female daughters were buried alive by their fathers since men were preferred. As a result, Islam, which gave women a better position than being buried alive, was welcomed. Islamic Sources also argue that women were convinced by the miraculous and logical arguments of Islam (just like men).
