             she is regarded as equal to man. A woman is placed
             under protection therefore, not because she needs that

             protection, but because she possesses a special value.

                 In the Qur'an, a woman can work if she pleases,
             but she is not obliged to work. As we see in the
             example of the Queen of Sheba, women can
             even rule over states. As we see in the exam-
             ple of Mary (pbuh), a model for all other

             women, a woman in the Qur'an is superior
             in her fortitude and determination at times
             of difficulty. A woman in the Qur'an is a
             queen, an entity who must always be given
             pride of place. In terms of its perspective

             toward women, the Qur'an is therefore the
             finest guide for the entire world.

                 In the time of our Prophet (pbuh),
             women were involved alongside
             men in all areas of life. The fact
             that the blessed wife of our
             Prophet (pbuh), Khadija

             (ra), was a well-known
             and respected business-
             woman in the region
             is an important
             piece of informa-
             tion in terms of

             showing the active
             role that women could
             play in social life. In the
             time of our Prophet (pbuh),
