Muslim women talk about their status in religion, family and society. its about Muslim Lady

A special program for Muslim women. This program, with the participation of women, addresses various topics related to the field of Muslim women and the concerns of a Muslim woman.

In the Islamic society the woman has an honoured position and, beside her legal and civil rights, enjoys special respect, love, affection, and the gentle feelings which she deserves most.

ls she not the compassionate mother, the beloved wife, and the affectionate daughter? The best expression of this reality is provided by the following verses from the Glorious Qur’an.

“When you have divorced women, and they have reached their prescribed term, then either retain them in honour or release them in kindness…” (Surah Al- Baqara, 2:231).

The Traditions of the Prophet, like the Qur’an, also lay emphasis on the honour and status of the woman and grants her a respectable place in society. When a Tradition speaks of a woman and her social position, it surrounds her with a frame of love, endearment, and affection, especially when it speaks of the mother, the wife and the daughter.

The Messenger of Allah (S), addressing the Muslims on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage warned them against the values which he feared would be neglected after him, and referred to woman as one of the important issues about whom he said:

“Observe your duty to Allah in respect to the women and recommend them to be well treated.”1

According to the Imam Ja’far Al -Sadiq (‘a),2 the Prophet stressed his proximity to woman and her position in his life, by saying:

“It is of the manner of the Prophets to love women.”3

He is also quoted to have said:

“I do not think that a man gets better in faith without loving women better.”4

A man once sought the Imam Al-Sadiq’s (‘a) advice concerning women, saying that as his wife, who was agreeable to him, had died, he wanted to marry again. The Imam told him, “See where you put yourself, whom you take as a partner in your life, and to whom you disclose your religion and secrets. So, if you have to, then marry a virgin known to be righteous and of good behaviour”
