Islam is a universal religion which has eradicated the darkness of oppression and ignorance from the world of humanity and raised the voice of justice and the woman who was the oppressed class in the time of ignorance. There was no respect. Islam gave her such a high position that heaven fell under his feet. History bears witness to the fact that Islam is the only religion among all religions which has given high status to women and restored the lost dignity of woman as mother, sister, wife and daughter. In other religions, women did not have equal status.
When a daughter was born, she was buried alive and women were subjected to atrocities that no one can imagine today. There are numerous hadiths regarding the status of women in Islam. One of which is the following.
Khatam-un-Nabiyyin Hazrat Akram (S.A.W) said that the woman who offered the fifth time prayer, fasted Ramadan, restrained herself from wrongdoing and obeyed her husband was allowed to enter Paradise through any door. Islam gave woman the right of inheritance and gave her the position of mother in the form of a place that placed paradise under her feet and looking at her face with the eye of love gives the reward of a Hajj. Islam puts mother three degrees above father.
Islam honored women so much that it revealed two Surahs in the Quran (Surah An-Nisa ‘and Surah Maryam). Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W in his last sermon Hujjat-ul-Wada ‘also instructed to treat women kindly. On one occasion, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: “Whoever raised two girls until they reached puberty, then on the Day of Resurrection that person will come like this. He showed his index finger with his index finger.
Now women have to think that Islam has given woman such a high position but what is women giving in return. Islam forbids women to wear thin clothes but today if we look at our bazaars our eyes will be lowered with shame. Today, the woman who is once again heading towards humiliation and the world is getting tired of her, is equally to blame for the fact that women are moving away from religion. Women are the pillars of society and it is through their training that societies are formed and destroyed.

Humanity is not complete without woman. Today, some of the women who are taking to the streets to raise their voices for women’s emancipation and calling the laws of Islam a chain, actually want to spread obscenity in the name of emancipation, this act is absolutely against the norms of Islam. Women should know their status and would pay thanks to almighty Allah for grating them this status.
