Before the advent of Islam the women was considered to be the most invaluable specie on earth but after Islam the Muslim woman encouraged to practice her religion and develop her intellectual faculties through out her life. She is responsible for the care of home and the children's early training. She may own her own property, run her own business. It would appear therefore that the Islamic system has achieved the right mixture of freedom and security that women seek and that is in the interest of the society as a whole. She may not be married without being consulted and is able to obtain divorce. Finally she can look forward to an old age in which she is respected and shown every care by her children and by the society as a whole. Apart from her role as a wife, the Muslim woman has a very important role as mother. The status and value attached to parents in the Muslim world is very high.
