Muslim women come from the Islamic faith. Islam is a monotheistic religion in which its followers (Muslims) believe that there is only one true God, Allah, and they honor and love Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the last prophet of God. Just like in any other religion, Muslims, especially women, have rights and requirements within their religion. In addition to wearing the hijab, Muslim women have the right to dress however they like, to choose who they would like to marry, to have the right to education and to be guided by an imam. In the Islamic faith, Muslim women are required to dress modestly to God. In the Quran, God speaks directly to all Muslim women and says: "...guard their private parts and do not expose their ornaments except that which [necessarily] appears and to wrap [a part of] the head covering on the chest and not expose their ornaments (The Quran 24:31).” Muslim women must wear hijab, or a head covering, when in public places and when close to men who are not close relatives. In fact, countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar impose a mandatory dress code. Muslim women in these countries must wear a hijab and abaya, or a loose, long garment over their heads. their clothes. Although God requires Muslim women to dress modestly and Saudi Arabia and Qatar have a dress code, the choice of what they would like to wear is entirely up to them. More than a right, Muslim women have a choice own husbands. According to Islamic law, Muslim women can freely choose their husbands, contrary to popular belief that husbands are chosen for them. The groom gives the wife a dowry for personal use and the wife keeps her surname, instead of... middle of paper... in this role... but Muslim women can only preach to groups of women (The Handy Religion Answer Book, page 160).” Although Muslim women are allowed to have an imam, they are unable to lead worship unless strictly led by women. This is why the right of women to lead an imam is partly a right and a requirement. Although with some limitations, Muslim women are allowed to lead an imam. Muslim women must dress modestly, can choose who their husbands are, have the right to education, and can lead other Muslim women in prayer and preaching. Women of the Islamic faith have more rights than is stereotypically thought, such as the fact that Muslim women are controlled by their husbands and have no freedom. Stereotypes will continue to follow Muslim women, but they ignore them and continue to do what they do, which is something every person should do.
