Outlines
Women in ancient civilizations and
Pre-Islam Arabia

Historical Perspective of Islam

Women Rights in Islam:
       Equality not sameness
Religion versus Culture
   Pre-Islam Practices

   Influence of Other Civilizations

   Individual Differences and
    Interpretations
Equality ≠ Sameness
   Equality is desirable, just, fair; but sameness is not.
    People are not created identical but they are created
    equal.
   When asked, “Who is most deserving of our kind
    treatment?” the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬replied, “Your
    mother” three times before saying “your father”
    only once
   The rights of woman of modern times were not
    granted voluntarily
   God honored the woman by giving her value in
    relation Allah values—not in relation to men.

Women In Islam

Editor's Notes

  1. Introduce myself
  2. 570/ 632 birth/death of Muhammad (pbuh) Islam reign over Spain from 700’s till 1400’s Ottoman Empire from 1300’s till 1800’s independence of European countries 1918 fall of the Ottoman Empire and 1923 Treaty of Lausanne
  3. Arranged marriages also exist in China and Indonesia and in cultures where Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism are the predominant religions. couples do not date. They may spend 15 minutes meeting each other and then wed in a few months, as reported by Del Jones in a USA Today article dated February 2006. Buddhist culture in Cambodia dictates that it is the sacred duty of parents to marry off their children to good families. FGM is considered by its practitioners to be an essential part of raising a girl properly—girls are regarded as having been cleansed . circumcised females have been found among Egyptian mummies , and that Herodotus (c. 484 BCE – c. 425 BCE) referred to the practice when he visited Egypt. the common attribution of the procedure to Islam is unfair because it is a much older phenomenon. [21] While individual Muslims, Christians, and Jews practise FGM, [22] it is not a requirement of any religious observance. Judaism requires circumcision for boys, but does not allow it for girls. [23] Islamic scholars have said that, while male circumcision is a sunna , or religious obligation, female circumcision is not required, and several have issued a fatwa against Type III FGM. [
  4. +The rights of woman of modern times were not granted voluntarily or out of kindness to the female. Modern woman reached her present position by force, and not through natural processes or mutual consent or Divine teachings +God honored the woman by giving her value in relation Allah values—not in relation to men. A woman does not need to accept that man is the standard, and that she can never be a full human being until she becomes just like a man
