There is no difference between man and woman in regards to religion, belief, and the practices in Islam. The five pillars of Islam: belief (declaration of faith), Salah (prayer), hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), Zakah (alms giving to the needy), Sawm (fasting during the month of Ramadan) are considered mandatory for both male and female believers. Islam gave true and due status to women 1400 years ago when there was ignorance and darkness. Islam uplifted the status of the women in a society. In Islam spiritually both men and women are equal. The status of women in Islam is one of the crucial issues and dominant themes in the modern times, which the theologians have been studying. Islam regards men and women as being of the same essence created from a single soul. A woman has a completely independent personality in Islam. In this research paper, an attempt will be made to provide an overview of status of women in Islam in general and then I will focus on the discussion of status of women in Islam by highlighting her spiritual status and social status in the light of relevant Qur’anic text.
