The status of women in Islam is, undoubtedly, one of the most controversial issues that gives rise to debates in modern day society were treated as degraded slaves, Islam was the religion that recognised the need for a reformation in the arena and conferred upon them the most elevated status to have ever been given to a woman before. The Holy Qur’an guides us on this matter. In this feature, Waqifat-e-Nau aim to explore some of the most important rights of women that have been mentioned in The Holy Qur’an. Economic Rights Kashifa Qamar, Croydon Islam came at a time when women all over the world were being oppressed and exploited. People never admitted her dignity or gave her rights and responsibilities equal to those of men. Islam, however, considers men and women equal, as far as the basic human rights are concerned, and gives women the privilege of economic independence.

(Muhammad Zafrullah Khan, Woman in Islam, p.24) In Islam, women are granted the right to inheritance of their father or husband’s property.
