As it is well said:
“Women are the real architects of the society.”
- In the past the role of the man is limited to the four walls of the house and people use to think that woman was for the hearth. Their sphere of activities was very narrow. They were not allowed to participate in political, cultural, social and literacy activities. They could not play any constructive role outside the house. They were considered physically weak, mentally ineligible and spiritually dubious.
“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”
- Her whole life was spent in showering affection upon others. As a girl, she had to serve her parents. As a daughter, she had to tolerate the preference given to her brothers. As a wife, she was considered to be the mistress of the young and nurse of the old. As a mother, she had to make sacrifices for the sake of her children. She has to play different roles in life like a daughter, a wife, a mother and a sister. She enjoys very high status in an Islamic Society.
According to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H):
“Paradise is under the feet of the mother.”
- Among the great religions of the world, Islam is the only one which make efforts to restore grace and dignity of women. Within the limits of Shariah, they can live with dignity and play an active and constructive role for the general welfare of the society. Islam gave them the rights which were not granted to women even in Europe for more than eleven hundred years.
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”
- The role of women is recognized in almost all fields of life. She is equal to man as far as her political rights are concerned. She take part in almost all activities of life. She helps man not working home but by working with him. Women are now getting education to play their part in the society in an appropriate manner.
“We cannot succeed when half of us are held back.”
- They are getting education and training in nursing, sewing, cooking and other household duties.
As it is well said:
“True equality is not the superiority of women, but the equal status of man and woman.”
- In the changing world of today, women are playing very significant role in the development of society. They are proving their worth and value in every sphere of life such as trade, industry, politics, scientific, research, literacy and artistic activities. They have proved themselves equal to man in intelligence and efficiency. Now they are considered suitable for every job.
“It has been correctly said that woman is becoming a rival of man.”
- This is the age of freedom. Islam has clearly defined the status of women in society. According to the Islamic teachings:
“Men and women enjoy equal rights in our society but their social responsibilities and duties are different.”
- Even in Pakistan, women are playing positive activities for the welfare of the society. In various departments, they are working as nurses, air-hostesses, clerks, sale-girls, police and military officers. If we wish to see our country progressing by leaps and bounds, women should be allowed to work shoulder to shoulder with men in every field of life.
As it is well said:
“The best service of humanity is to provide relief to those who are in pain and distress.”
- We should get rid of conservative thinking and accept the reality that women are an integral part of the Civil Society.
“The real greatness of a woman lies in her role as a mother.”
- The working woman will have to prove that she can be a good mother as well as a good worker.
“Men are what their mothers made them.”
- He sacred duties are to bring up children with care, to educate the children and act according to the lawful wishes of her husband. However, Islam does not prevent women from serving in various social institutions. Women in our society are allowed to work in all capacities.
“A woman with a voice is, by definition a strong woman.”
- In short, women proved successful by working as teachers, clerks, air-hostesses, doctors, artists, writers, officers, police and even pilots as well. They are working wonders in almost every field of life.
As it is well said:
“The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world.”
