The Advantages & Disadvantages of Being a Muslim Woman


Executive summary about Islam religion by Nakia Jackson

The 20th and 21st centuries have transformed Muslim women's lives. With the repression that Muslim women face in many parts of the world, some people question why Muslim women would remain Muslim if they can choose otherwise.

Women in the developing world, including Muslim women, have unequal access to education, economic opportunities and health care. Muslim women may be the victims of domestic violence or ethnic cleansing.

The Qur'an explicitly states women's spiritual equality in the 35th verse of Surah al-Ahzab: "For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise -- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward."
