Women's Role in Islam

Pearl of Wisdom

The way in which the women gave allegiance to the Prophet (SAWA) was that he immersed his hand in a bowl filled with water then he took it out. The women then immersed their hands in the bowl as a sign of their acknowledgement and belief in Allah, and belief in his Messenger.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Taqi [as]

Women's Role in Islam

The Purpose of Life: Wherever God talks about the human beings (Insaan) or whenever He talks about human soul (Nafs) in the Qur'an, Muslims theologians and scholars have never considered that humanness or the soul as 'male' or 'female'. (See 51:56, 91:1-10; 53:38-39)

The male or female division is only possible when we talk about the physical dimension of humans, not when we talk about the spiritual dimension. And so, from the Islamic perspective, the humanness of woman has never been denied or questioned; nor has there ever been any discussion whether she possesses a soul or not.

Since both are same in their humanness, both have been created for the same purpose: to serve God.

The Virtues in Human Beings: Whenever and wherever Islam has talked about virtues in human beings, it has not differentiated between men and women. Both have the potential to acquire knowledge. Both, men and women, are expected to exhibit the spirit of piety and other good attributes in Islam.
