Letter Title: “Women in Islam”

We recently marked the 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement. This movement granted women the right to vote but the fight for equality for women still continues. But did you know that my religion Islam granted economic rights to women more than 1400 years ago? Muslim women have the ability to own, keep, and manage their own property and wealth, to seek divorce, to remarry, and to inherit. The Holy Quran says, “Men shall have the share of what they have earned, and women shall have the share of what they have earned…” [4:33] 

Not just economic independence, but Muslim men and women are spiritually equal in the sight of God. According to the Holy Quran a woman has a soul, she has the same spiritual capacity as a man, and she can attain equal spiritual rewards by her own efforts. The Holy Quran says, “But whoso does good works, whether male or female, and is a believer, such shall enter heaven…” (4:125)

Islam provided women equal opportunity to gain knowledge some 1400 years ago, but the women in the United States were not provided this right fully until 1977 when Title IX of the Education Codes of the Higher Education Act Amendment was enacted. Islam stresses that education for men and women is of equal importance. Prophet Muhammad laid down that education is compulsory for both “It is the duty of every Muslim man and every Muslim woman to acquire knowledge.” 

The worldwide spiritual leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Caliph Mirza Masroor Ahmad in his address to UNESCO said, “Based upon these teachings, Ahmadi Muslim girls across the world are educated and are excelling in various fields. They are becoming doctors, teachers and architects and entering other professions through which they can serve humanity.

Islam stresses that education for men and women is of equal importance. Islam made education compulsory for both men and women centuries before the western world. For example, in the United States, women were not offered this right until Title IX of the Education Codes of the Higher Education Act Amendment of 1977. Throughout Muslim history, there have been notable Muslim women who excelled in their fields of knowledge. Here are a few: Aisha bint Abi Bakr who narrated over 2,000 hadith. Rabi'ah Bint Mu'awwad, a great scholar of law in Medina Umm' Atiyyah, who taught male scholars Islamic law. A'isha bint Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas who had many famous male scholars as her students. Fatima al Fihri, the school founder that the Guinness Book of World Records, calls the oldest continuously operating institution of higher education in the world, al-Qarawiyyin University in Fez, Morocco, established in 859. Nana Asma'u's 19th-century education for women makes her name still a popular choice for schools and women's educational organizations in Northern Nigeria.

Are Muslim women forced to wear a headscarf? No, Islamically speaking, the observation of Hijab is a personal decision and should be free from external societal pressure. Muslim women choose to wear the headscarf as a declaration of faith and devotion to God. The head covering is not a concept that is unique to Islam, but is found in Biblical literature too. The Bible taught the wearing of a veil long before Islam. In the Old Testament, we read: "When Re-bek' ah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. For she had said unto the servant 'What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?' And the servant had said 'It is my master' Therefore she took the veil and covered herself." [Genesis: 24:64-65] Western countries' pressure on Muslim women to unveil to 'free' themselves results from an inherently sexist desire to police how women dress. For many Muslim women, Hijab is a rejection of these societal norms. Here is a Muslim woman explaining why she wears a hijab.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0te6JWVEws
