Women in Islam:

Women Rights in Islam: 
In Arabia, before Islam women were treated like slaves/property. Their personal consent concerning anything relating their well-being was considered unimportant. Therefore women had no independence and were the equivalent to property and were not allowed to inherit. 


Islam gives the following rights to women: 
Islam considers a woman to be equal to a man as a human being and as his partner in life. In the words of Prophet Muhammad: ''Assuredly, women are the twin halves of men." 
Islam does not blame Eve alone for the First Sin, the Qur'an makes it clear that both Adam and Eve were tempted and therefore both sinned and both forgiven after their repentance. 


A Muslim woman gets to keep here family name after marriage; a Muslim woman also has the right to seek divorce, if necessary within the laws of Islam. 


Does a woman in Islam has the right to get and education? 
Yes, a woman in Islam has the right to knowledge and education. Allah encourages women to read and keep up the learning process. 


Why does a Muslim woman required to dress a certain way when she goes out in public? 
A Muslim woman dresses in a modest way as an expression of a universal 'sisterhood'. An Islam Hajib dress also liberates the Muslim woman, and she is then automatically respected for her mind not her body.
