Women rights in the glorious Qur'an : a sociolinguistic study

Abstract EN

The aim of this paper is to examine the notion of women rights in Glorious Qur'an.

The study will concentrate on how language and gender has been manifested especially in the verses that apparently illustrate women rights.

Additionally, the study tries to answer the following question: Does the language in Glorious Qur'an reflects the physical, biological sex of male and female or it mainly emphasizes the social and personal identity of them, that is, gender? Also, do the rights of women in the Holy book clarify their inferior position to men? Moreover, the paper is divided into two sections, the first one will make an overview about three topics: Gender, Differences between male and female in language use and Women rights, while the second chapter is dedicated to Women rights in Glorious Qur'an.

Additionally, there is a claim that Islam in its Glorious book oppressed women and is a source of violence all over the word.

Consequently, there is a need either to prove that claim or to deny it with evidence and this paper will try to walk a step in fulfilling that goal
