Islam gives women many privileges and rights.
The Qur'an states that men and women should be equal partners in sharing the responsibilities of life. Islam honors women who dress properly and wear suitable jewelry. Islam respects women who have an appropriately conservative character and attitude.
Islam obligates women to preserve their feminine nature and characteristics given to her by God. This is why Muslim buildings and architecture provide women with privacy.
Islam also permits women's outdoor labor, providing it is a suitable job appropriate to what is suitable to her delicate nature and capacities and brings no harm to her feminine image. Muslim woman took high and powerful posts in the Islamic government. Shajar Al-Durr, who ruled Egypt, proved to be one of the greatest examples, showing women's high value and importance in Islamic society. The walls of her mausoleum have many writings and texts indicating the various tasks she undertook.
Women also contributed in times of war as nurses and in similar roles, all within the limits of what is suitable to their capacities. Muslim women preceded others in the battlefield in modern times in a few countries.
Women constructed great architectural buildings such as the complex of Khawand Baraka, Umm al-Sultan Shaaban, among many others.
Islam provides women with many liberties on the political level as well as on the social level. Islam entitles women to inheritance. The Islamic woman is given the liberty of choosing her husband with no outside influences or family pressure. Even a governor was not allowed to order her to do what she does not think acceptable
