Release Date: 2010
Description: This article discusses the social and legal positions of women in Islam, emphasizing the concept of equality between men and women before God, while acknowledging that this equality is not absolute. The article explores women's rights as human rights, particularly in the context of developed and developing countries. It examines women's political rights in terms of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Islamic culture. It analyzes the extent to which women can participate in political activities, and whether Islam prohibits women from holding positions of leadership, referencing historical examples and textual interpretations to argue against restrictions on women's political involvement.
