Women have a very important place in Islamic society. Unlike a number of other religions, Islam holds women in high esteem. Her importance as a mother and a wife has been clearly stated by Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad said, "Paradise lies at the feet of your mothers." Once a person asked the Prophet, "Who deserves the best care from me?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother (he repeated this three times), then your father and then your nearest relatives."

And In his farewell speech he said: "O people, your wives have certain rights over you and you have certain rights over them. Treat them well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers."

The Prophet also said, "The best among you is the one who is the best towards his wife."These sayings clearly prove the important position given to women in Islam but there are still people, who have misgivings about the status of women in Islam.

To these people, the Muslim women is seen as 'A prisoner in the four walls of the house', a non-person', and 'someone who has no rights and is living always under the domination of a man '. These notions are totally wrong and are based on ignorance rather than knowledge of Islam.

In order to Judge these false ideas held by this people, it would be useful to survey the attitudes to women in different societies in the past.In the past in some societies a woman was regarded as a slave. Or considered her a commodity to be bought and sold.

It recognises the realities of life. This does not mean it has recognized equality of man and woman in every respect. Rather, it has defined their duties in keeping with their different biological make-up.

God has not made man and woman identical, so it would be against nature to try to have total equality between a man and a woman.That would destroy the social balance.

Society would not prosper but would instead have insoluble problems such as broken marriages, illegitimate children and the break-up of family life.

These problems are already rife in some society. Schoolgirl pregnancies, an increase in abortions, divorce and many other problems have cropped up because of a permissive outlook and the so-called freedom of women.
