What was the status of women in early Islam era?
During the period of Prophet Muhammad women's influence and zeal could be found in all corners of life.
Many of them were as active in religion as in politics, as courageous in war as in the peaceful and persuasive propagation of the teaching of Islam. Some of these noble selfless women could be found in the battlefield among the foremost ranks of those taking part in jihad. They were to be found in the political arena, in field of education, in the courts of Islamic jurisprudence, in the interpretation of Shariah, in the trade and commerce, in medicine and nursing.
There was no sphere of life that was not affected by their wonderful intelligence, their kind and gentle character, and there strong nature.
Some of the Sahabiyyat would go out for jihad with Prophet Muhammad and after his time, they would take part in the battles on land and at sea. The Sahabiyyat not only took an active part in the combat but also assisted the wounded and would provide food and water for the thirsty. These great women would stand in the ranks of those taking part in Jihad in Allah's cause.
These courageous women also played a role in Daw'ah by their excellent example. Some of these women would turn their houses into places of prayer.
Many of these women were experts in the fields of Qira'at (the correct way of reading the Qur'an), Shari'ah, Fiqh, study of Hadith and the other significant branches of Islamic studies. Some women memorized the entire Qur'an well. In Islamic jurisprudence or Fiqh 'Aishah's verdicts could fill several volumes. The same could be said of Umm Salamah's recorded verdicts.
These women had much knowledge that benefited the ummah besides the enormous amount of Islamic knowledge. "Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakan was an expert in making speech; Asma' bint 'Umais was famous for her interpretation of dreams. Several women companions were noted for their skill in medicine and surgery.
These women affected all aspects of life during the time of Prophet Muhammad and their great contributions still affect our life today. They were educated in all things and benefited the ummah greatly. All Muslim women should follow the great example of these women and look to them as their role models and examples for life.
What town did Mohammed flee to in 622 CE?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) left the town of Makkah (or Mecca) in year 622 AD to AlMadinah (or Medina). Both towns are in the current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) didn't flee from Mecca to Medina. He just followed the command of Allah (or God and same God worshiped by Christians and Jews) to him to leave Makkah (or Mecca) to Al-Madinah (or Medina) to continue the call for Islam religion from there especially that people of Medina invited him and welcomed him there. He was informed by Allah (or God) that the unbelievers of the tribes of Makkah (or Mecca) planned to assassinate him. On the planned night of assassination, he was instructed by God to leave Mecca for Medina.
Illiteracy was normal at that time and place. It was said that there were only sixteen men in the whole of Mecca who knew how to write. This might be an exaggeration; and there were probably many more people who knew how to read but not how to write.
However, poor children like Muhammad were not taught to read. It was completely normal for boys of his social class to be taught practical skills but nothing academic, and it would have been surprising if he had been an exception.
Actually it is thought that Muhammad was not completely illiterate, as there are hadiths that show he could read basic texts. But he was not literate in the sense of being "well-read".
___________________________________________
Muhammad was from a prestigious family in Makkah (or Mecca). His Grandfather was one of the highest advisory leaders in the town of Makkah (or Mecca). However, Muhammad didn't learn to read or write a single letter for a wisdom that Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) required in order not to be said later that he learnt from old religions and faiths.
