❞ كتاب The Role of Muslim Women in an Islamic Society ❝

يتحدث عن المرأة التي هي نصف المجتمع البشري، والتي ظلمت عبر حقب طويلة من تاريخ الإنسانية، فجاء الإسلام الذي هو منهج الله في الأرض، فكرمها وأعطاها الحقوق التي تليق بإنسانيتها ، كما أنه كلفها بواجبات منوطة بها تؤكد من خلالها رسالتها في الحياة التي خصها الله بها

قال تعالي :

﴿ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً (35)﴾

[سورة الأحزاب]

جاء في القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية آيات وأحاديث تدل على صفات المرأة المسلمة
قال تعالى :{  واذكروا في الكتاب مريم إذ انتبذت من أهلها مكانا شرقيا( 16 ) فاتخذت من دونهم حجابا فأرسلنا لها بشراً سويا( 17 ) قالت إني أعوذ بالرحمن منك إن كنت تقيا( 18 ) قالت أنى يكون لي غلام ولم يمسسني بشر ولم أكن بغيا( 20 ) قال كذلك قال ربك هو علي هين ولنجعله آية للناس ورحمة منا وكان أمرا مقضيا( 21 ) فحملته فانتبذت به مكانا قصيا( 22 ) سورة مريم.

INTRODUCTION
The Status of Women as Defined by Islam
The woman is a mother and it is said that "Paradise lies under her feet" (reported by Al Tabarani). In an authentic hadith the Prophet (peace be upon him)(SAAS) was asked by a man: 'Who is the one most worthy of my care?'. The Prophet replied: 'Your mother'. The man asked: 'Then whom?'. He replied: 'Your mother'. The man further asked: 'Then whom?'. He replied: 'Your mother'. The man asked: 'Then whom?'. And in this fourth time the Prophet replied: 'Then your father.' This shows that Allah has placed the care of the mother as a primary responsibility of her sons.
Allah, exalted be He, says: {Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and that you be kind to parents. When one or both of them attains old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor repel them but address them in terms of honour.} (Surat Al-Isra' (17), ayah 23).
A woman is also a daughter and sister and like their male brothers, are born of the same lineage and from the same womb: {He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom Him wills.} (Surat Al-Shura (42), ayah 49). The Prophet (SAAS) says: 'Women are the (equal) sisters of men'.
A woman is also a wife who is a source of comfort for her husband as he is to her: {And among His signs is this, that He created wives from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts)} (Surat Al-Rum (30), ayah 21). Allah also said: {They are like a garment to you and you are like a garment to them} (Surat Al-Baqara (2), ayah 187)
