Women in Islam

Islam is one of the most progressive supporters of women’s liberation. It is why Islamic women support Muhammad’s vision

In the Qu’ran, men and women are equal

Women’s Clothing

Women wear hijab, loose fitting clothes, and ankles and wrists should be covered Veils over the face like the niquab, wearing an all-enveloping robe like the burka, and wearing socks and gloves. They may practice a form of female seclusion called purdah.

Veils (Hijab)

Arabic word for cover, a scarf that covers most or all a women’s hair

Women should be judged on mind and personality not beauty or lack of it. It is simply a woman’s assertion that judgement of her physical person is to play no role whatsoever in social interaction.

When Muslim women cover themselves, they put themselves on a higher level and men will look at them with respect and will notice them for their intellect, faith, personality not their beauty.

It is allowed, Talaq is male initiated divorce, Khul is female initiated divorce.
