Islam does not brand women as the product of the devil. Never in the history of Islam has any Muslim scholar doubted the human status of woman, her having a soul or possessing fine spiritual qualities. Nor do Muslim men pray in gratitude to God, particularly for His not creating them women, as distinct from followers of older traditions. Nor have Muslim women been commanded to keep silence and to be under obedience(1 Cor.14:34, Deut.21:15-21). According to pre-Islamic traditions, woman was a contemptible creature; untouchable even by her own family when in her menstrual period.In the case of her husband dying, she used to be either inherited by his relatives or, in some societies, burnt alive on his funeral pyre. The status of woman as established by Islam is unique. In some respects, it is superior to customs in the so-called secular countries. In those countries, the woman has to toil in order to live. Since you have the Quran, please read chapter31:14.
