Abstract EN

Islam is the only religion which gives women a high status in society.

Critics claim that Islam hinders women by not giving them their due rights and throws doubts on matters related to women, such as polygamy, divorce and inheritance.

The research investigates the teachings of the prophet Mohammed (peace is upon him) and his dealings with women.

These guidelines illustrate how his followers should deal with women, whether mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, maternal aunties, paternal aunties, Muslim or non-Muslim.

It discusses how the prophet treats women in various situations and circumstances and demonstrates the importance of women as she compliments a man and is half of the community. The research concludes with some important findings in dealing with women.
