Precious White Pearls.

Islam describes women as Precious White Pearls. The Quran asks both men and women to perform in equal measure, the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil.
Allah SWA says: “And I have never created the jinn and the mankind, except to worship Me” (Surat Al-Dhaariyaat: 56)
Allah SWA says: “The believers, men and women are protectors of one another, they enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil, they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them Allah will pour His Mercy, for Allah is exalted in power, Wise” (Surat At-Taubah 9:71)
A woman will be either a mother or a wife or a daughter. When comparing to men there are much more verses and hadiths (than men) representing kind treatment to women.
In Islam, the value and importance of women in the society and the true measure of their success as human beings, is measured with a completely different criteria: their fear of Allah and obedience to Him, and fulfillment of the duties He has entrusted them with, particularly that of bearing, rearing and teaching children.
The Muslim mother has a great feeling of security about the type of care and consideration she can expect from her children. Thankfulness to parents is linked with thankfulness to Allah, and good conduct begins at home with one’s closest relatives.
Nabi SAW said: “Verily, Allah forbade for you rudeness (disobedience) to mothers” (Narrated by Tirimidhi: 1165)
“A man came to Nabi SAW and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?’ The Prophet SAW replied: ‘Your Mother”, the man then asked: “Then who?”, Nabi SAW replied: ‘Then your mother”, the man then asked: “Then who?”, Nabi SAW replied: ‘Then your mother”, the man then asked: “Then who?”, Nabi SAW replied: ‘Then your Father’.” (Reported by Bukhari & Muslim)
It is clearly mentioned that women were created for men. A wife is also regarded as a source of love, peace and compassion, as stated in the Quran:
Allah SWA says: “And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): Verily in that are signs for those who reflect” (Surat Al-Rum 30:21)
It is narrated from Nabi SAW that: “The world is full of Pleasures, and most pleasant thing (which a person can get) is a Pious Wife” (Reported by Muslim, Nasaai, Ibn-Maajah, Ahmed and Ibn Hibbaan)
A woman takes precedence in the responsibilities of the husband, family and other house works. Men are ordered to treat them kindly and to look after them kindly by clothing and feeding them according to his standards.

With this regard Allah SWA says: “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband’s) absence what Allah would have them guard…” (Surat An-Nisa 4: 34)
The Prophet SAW said; “The wife is a guardian and is responsible for her husband’s house and offsprings” (Narrated by Bukhari: 5188)
And also Allah SWA says: “… They (wives) are your garments and you (husbands) are their garments…” (Surat Al-Bagharah: 2: 187)
The Prophet Muhammad SAW also emphasized the importance of this compassionate treatment: “I command you to treat women kindly. Women has been created from a rib (the rib is crooked), and the most crooked part of the rib is in the upper region. If you try to make it straight you will break it, and if you leave it as it is, it will remain curved. So treat women kindly” (Reported by Bukhari: 5185)
It is narrated that Nabi SAW said: “The believers with perfect faith are those who have the best disposition and the best of you are those who are best to their wives” (Tirmidhi)
In another Hadith Nabi SAW said: “The best of you are, those who are best to the women” (Sahih Al-Jami’ Al-Sagheer)
Islam highly values girls (daughters) and strictly forbids casting aspersions to them.
In this regard Prophet SAW said: “Do not hate girls. They are comforting and very precious” (Ahmed)
Islam also enjoins upon Muslims to provide good education and training to their daughters and see them well settled in marriage with a fine match and continue a fair and just treatment even after marriage.
Allah SWA says in the Quran: “Allah will raise up to (suitable) ranks (and degrees), those of you believe and who have been granted knowledge” (Surat Al-Mujadhalah 58:11)
And also says: “Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?” (Surat Az-Zumar: 39:09)
It is narrated from Abu Huraira RA that Rasuluh Allah SAW said: “Whoever follows a way to seek knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a way to Paradise” (Muslim & Trimidi)
It is also narrated that Nabi SAW said: “Acquiring knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim man and women” (At-Tabarani)
The Prophet SAW said: “Whomever nourishes three daughters, educates and trains them, gets them married (and afterwards) offers a gentle behaviour to them, has his place reserved in heaven” (Haakim)
We should remember that a married Muslim women has so many responsibilities in her hand as a wife and mother. This prevents them from completely engaging (spending all her time) in studies, like men or unmarried sisters do.
And also one of the important things which we have to know is that, their studying environment should be an Islamic environment, which means there shouldn't be any unlawful things in the environment which they study or the things which they study, like free mixing and so on. If such conditions are fulfilled then in Islam, nothing prevents them from gaining knowledge.
Also Islam does not prohibit women from working outside the home. But they should meet the conditions of the Islamic Shari’a. Their working environment should be a suitable environment for them. Her job should not be one which forces her to mix and associate with men. She should seek employment in positions which require women’s special skills, or which relate to the needs of women and children, such as teaching, nursing other women, midwifery, medicine with specialisations like pediatrics or obstetrics-gynecology. Her employment should not come before or seriously interfere with her responsibilities which are obligatory upon her as wife and mother.
As a conclusion I say, I am proud to be a dutiful muslim woman and I am satisfied with it with full submission. Verily it is the teachings of Islam that brought tranquility to my heart. Even if the whole world is against it, I will strive my best to stand firm on this path, in sha Allah. My dear sisters, Wake up! Do not wait until it is too late.
