History testifies that women were oppressed for a long period of time. Greece, Egypt, Rome, in every nation and in every continent, women were tyrannized. Men would buy and sell the women to fulfil their own pleasures of life. The Arabs even considered the women a cause of shame and used to bury the young girls alive. No social status was given to the women in most of the world's civilizations. Islam not only gave women the right to survive but also determined their status as a mother, daughter, wife and sister. By confirming their religious, social, economic, legal and administrative role, Islam guaranteed their rights. As a result, a civilization was created in which women were considered an important part of the society. The Prophet ﷺ elevated women to the highest possible level of dignity and greatness. The women were also entitled to the rights of dower, alimony, respect and honor. As mothers, they were conferred a great status and paradise was laid under their feet. The obedience of one’s mother was made the source of success in this world and the hereafter. Islam instructed to make sure a proper upbringing and education for women as daughters. It acknowledged their right of property and intervention in this right was held to be unlawful. It set the stoning and other adultery punishments for criminals in order to protect chastity and honour of women.Their testimony was acknowledged as rightful. They were allowed to preach the religion of Islam. The importance of women's rights in the foundation of the modern Muslim state is recognized as true, provided that the establishment and provision of the rights are in accordance with the Islamic teachings. In this article, women’s rights will be described in the light of Islamic teachings.

The text argues that historical oppression of women across various civilizations contrasts sharply with the rights and status granted by Islam. It emphasizes that Islam not only provided survival but also established a framework for women's rights in all spheres of life, leading to a more equitable society. The importance of these rights in modern Muslim states is acknowledged, provided they align with Islamic teachings.
Islam granted women rights to survival, dignity, and a defined social status as mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters. It confirmed their religious, social, economic, legal, and administrative roles, guaranteeing their rights and fostering a civilization where women were integral. Islam elevated women's dignity, ensuring rights to dower, alimony, respect, and honor. Mothers were given high status with paradise under their feet, and obedience to mothers was linked to success in this world and the hereafter. Daughters were to be properly raised and educated, with their property rights acknowledged and protected. Adultery punishments were set to protect women's chastity and honor, and their testimony was accepted. They were also permitted to preach Islam.
Islam significantly elevated the status of women, granting them comprehensive rights that were revolutionary for their time and continue to be relevant. The teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are presented as the foundation for these rights, ensuring women's dignity, equality, and participation in society.
