Islam was the first religion formally to grant the women a status never known before. The Holy Quran contains hundreds of teachings, which apply both to men and women alike. Islam teaches that the faculties and capacities bestowed by God upon man are a divine bounty and must be beneficently employed: “Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers, when you knew nothing, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts that you may employ them beneficently.” (16:79) Islam was the first religion formally to grant the women a status never known before.
