Abstract

The famous floscule that women have no rights in Islam and are subjected to imminent subordination and oppression is true, at least from the contextual point of view. The basis of the rights of women in Islam derives from the Qur’an, which, with respect to women has adopted one egalitarian approach: women are spiritually and morally equal to men. Unfortunately, the huge collection of Sunnah, along with the Hadiths, as a creative and exclusively man’s process do not cherish the egalitarian exegesis of the Qur’an thus contains many negative ideas in the context of women, which reflects their position in some Muslim societies today. Thus, one gets wrongly impression that the whole Islamic thought is misogynic.
