Jobs, Women and Islam

Women in Islam are granted numerous rights, as their status is considered equal to men. Women are suppose to be given the right of getting higher education, to attend mosques, the right to marriage by their own consent, to do jobs and even business. Women have the right to go outside home and in the community.

Nowadays when we look around the world we see that those countries are progressing where there is less gender discrimination and where women are working side by side with men. Women are the ones who turn out to be the best teachers. They mold the young minds of today for a better tomorrow. Islam doesn’t prohibit women from working. In fact Islam allows them to even do business and keep all the money to themselves and spend it the way they like. Islam only asks that a woman should be modest in her dress and protect herself and her chastity.

Women suffered a lot before the advent of Islam but slowly and gradually they were granted rights and freedom as Islam spread in the vast corners of the world. Women started to know their rights and started to live their life the way they want to. Women however,are still suffering in some parts of the world, and it is the duty of the Muslims to help and support their sisters.

Many religious scholars speak in the favor of women rights but if you take a sneak look at their household, you may find their own women cladded and wrapped in the veils in the name of so-called Islam within the boundaries of their home or inside the four walls. It is not Islamdevoid the woman of any of her rights. The so-called Muslims have used Islam to suppress the women. What needs to be changed is this thinking and of course, women can do this if they get united and trained. A good mother can bring about change in the society by giving proper training and guidance to her male children. She can put good seeds in their minds and teach them from day one to respect and honor the women. These boys when turn into adult males would bring about change in their own perspective and treatment towards the opposite gender as well as that of the society. Unless the women could know themselves thequalities, they posses thatthey could manipulate with these attributes Allah given them they can never expect any thing changing for them in the social setup where they exist.

The Fight for Rights: Muslim Women

Women have been denied equal rights to men for a long time in history. Western women have achieved equal rights for quite some time now but most of the eastern women are still in the shackles put on them by men. What rigid religious scholars and preachers do not let us know is that women have equal rights to men in Islam. A Muslim woman has equal rights to man in freedom of expression, in education and quest for knowledge, as well as in working.

This has also been mentioned in the Holy Quran:

“Their Lord responded to them: “I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female – you are equal to one another.” [3:195]

Women are even allowed to do business, and the opportunity that is there in Islam is that a woman does not have to share the profits or the wages she earns with her husband or family. She can spend it on her own will while the husband has to share and support the wife. This means that Islam gives equal in fact more rights to women. The only thing is most of the Muslim women do not know. Muslim women should stop following what these rigid scholars tell them, and now in the modern world translation is easily available. They can get it, read it, understand themselves, and know the things that others usually hide.

Women are in immense need to educate them to change the mentality of male dominating society. As mothers they can guide their sons, as sisters they can become mentors for their brothers and as a wife they can be very good friends of their husband. This way they can teach the men in their lives to respect woman, treat them equally and remain in the circle of Islam. It can only happen if the women are themselves educated and aware of their rights and duties laid upon them by Islam.

Oppression faced by Muslim Women

“And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women.” [2:226]

Same kind of message we see when we read the UN Human Rights Declaration. The very first article states:

Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 3 states: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.

Now one might ask When Islam and the United Nations provide similar teachings then where lies the problem. The problem lies at the place that we people do not study Islam ourselves and blindly follow what others are doing. Modern Muslim woman still faces many problems in her life thanks to the handcuffs put on her by the society. Most of the Muslim women are not allowed to get education, job, or even go outside home. It is such that people in some societies make their own rules to suppress the women.  Women are suppressed in Muslim countries by being denied the rights to higher education, jobs, and freedom. The Freedom to expression, freedom to step into the community side by side with man and freedom to live a life of their own will. The places where Muslim women are being treated in such a way are mostly the countries situated in Asia. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iran are still living in the dark ages, following old cultures fearing to step in the new ones, and thereby hindering their own progress and prosperity.
