Status of Women in Islam
“And from His signs is that He created for you spouses from
amongst yourselves that you may find tranquillity with them and He
has placed between you love and mercy. Verily in that are signs for
those who reflect “ Qur’an 30:21
“And live with them (your wives) in kindness for if you take a
dislike to them, it may be that you dislike a thing, and God brings
about through it a great deal of good.” Qur’an 4:19
Islam also insists on a happy environment for the mother
during her pregnancy on the grounds that the foetus is
affected by his\her mother physically, psychologically and
morally.
As a mother of the child she has the right to claim
payment from her husband for breastfeeding their baby if
she chooses to do so. And above all, the husband cannot
force his wife to conceive if she does not want to.
It is essential to remember that the husband should take
an active part with the mother in the spiritual, physical and
emotional development of their children.
Of course! Islam renders these affectionate acts for the
woman and considers them good deeds and a way of
approaching God.
