William Baker, a Christian leader writes: “ When we consider the status of women in pre-Islamic societies, we learn that two-thirds were in some form of slavery…..women were nearly invisible in a male-dominated world in nearly every religion and very culture of the world.” It is clear that the women in the seventh century, were nearly invisible in a male dominated world, in nearly every religion and very culture….”. Then along comes Islam, as if out of the blue, completely revolutionizing women’s rights; even giving them some rights that the west has yet to grant to women in some parts of the world. These rights were given to the Muslim women of the seventh century. They did not have to fight for their rights, did not have to participate in demonstrations, or go on hunger strikes, as their western sisters had to. They did not have to even lift a finger. These rights were given to them by this new religion of Islam. No one had to force the Holy Prophet of Islam to grant these rights to women. These rights were their due as human beings and Islam was the fulfillment of all religions, so they were liberated from the centuries of oppression.
