| Summary: | Islam places high premium on modernity, civilisation as well as impact of women towards the development of a society. The common slogan of women rights is not new in the Islamic system of administration as it is part and parcel of the tenets of Islam right from its inception. Earlier Muslim women played pivotal roles in different spheres of life, such as educational, economic, political and social advancement. These roles serve as models for women in this modern world. There are a number of accounts in Islamic history that express the roles played by women and that is why Islam is gender sensitive in all affairs of life as both man and woman form a society. This research therefore examines the status of women especially that of Muslims in this century and calls them to the challenges ahead of them towards the modernisation in Islamic perspective. |
