INTRODUCTION

It is true that one of the most beautiful and greatest creation of God is the "Woman". It is the woman who fills color to this worldly life in the form of a mother, daugther, sister or wife. She is the jewel of community and requires heavy security and care. However this is the same woman who can either build the world or destroy it, who can lead man to success or may lead him to destruction. Unfortunately, various nations througout the history have been treating woman like a slave or like a sex toy. Prior to Islam, Women were treated inhumanly and were denied all rights. In Islam, woman has a high status which no past nation ever achieved and which no subsequent nation has been able to attain, because the honour which Islam gives to humanity includes men and women equally. They are equal before the rulings of Allaah in this world and they will be equal with regard to His reward and punishment in the Hereafter.

 

There is nothing in any other religion, nation or law that can compare to the honour which woman gains in Islam. There is no woman of any nation or religion who can show a thumb to a Muslim Woman (as a whole) in Modesty, chastity and nobility.

 

We bring to you this "sisters corner" section to present to you the teachings of Islam about Women. We hope that after reading, you too would like to imitate a Muslim woman or like to be one of them! INSHALLAH.
