Women's Rights in Islam: A Comprehensive Analysis of Quranic and Sunnah Teachings

Author(s) Habiba Elahi
Country Pakistan
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of women's rights within the Islamic tradition through critical analysis of primary sources—the Quran and Sunnah. It explores how Islamic revelation established revolutionary principles of gender justice that elevated women's status in 7th century Arabia, providing them with spiritual equality, educational opportunities, economic independence, marital protections, and social participation rights. The research systematically analyzes Quranic verses and authenticated hadiths that establish women's rights across various domains, while contextualizing these teachings within their historical framework. The study demonstrates that Islam recognized women's full humanity and inherent dignity, granting them inheritance rights, property ownership, consent in marriage, financial independence, and community participation at a time when such rights were virtually nonexistent in most societies. The article also examines the implementation gap between textual ideals and contemporary practices, identifying cultural factors, patriarchal interpretations, educational limitations, and socioeconomic constraints that have hindered the full realization of women's Islamic rights. Special attention is given to the emerging Islamic feminist scholarship that employs ijtihad (independent reasoning) to reclaim gender-egalitarian interpretations of religious texts. This research contributes to both religious studies and gender discourse by illustrating that authentic Islamic teachings, when properly understood and implemented, provide a comprehensive framework for women's empowerment that balances rights with responsibilities while maintaining fidelity to core religious values. The findings challenge both Orientalist assumptions about Islam's treatment of women and patriarchal cultural practices that have been incorrectly attributed to Islamic teachings.
