It is indeed a rare encounter to find such discourses are spoken by the angel of death and his forbearance to defend women and their plights.

The study will highlight on the dimensions of the social dimension in the discourses of the angel of death in defending the rights of discriminated women in the novel: istiqālah malak al-maut by Safā’ al-Najjār.

The study uses the analytical and critical approaches.

Among the most important findings of the study: the discourses of the angel of death are in favour of women and not against them to accentuate support and affirmation to the tragic situation of some women.

The discourses help to articulate the plights and problem suffered by them in a bold manner.

The issue of women emancipation in some social aspects and their revolt against the customary practices in religion and society, the painting of decaying sexual issue such as the relationship between Yahya and Safiyyah is a representation of the western social code that is against the Arab Islamic society.
