In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty, The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful. Countless Choicest Blessings &
Salutations on His Chosen & Beloved Messenger & Prophet
Muhammad y & upon The Noble Family & Companions &
Pure Wives & Daughters of The Holy Prophet Muhammad ... The Islamic tradition teaches that all of humanity came from
a single soul [The Holy Quran, 4:1] and that at the spiritual
level, men and women are equal and committed partners to
one another in the Path to God. This revolutionary message
was brought to the world in a 7th century CE Arabia which
was steeped in the depths of oppression and shackles of
abuse, especially of women. It was a time when baby girls
were buried alive, and women were considered chattels with no rights of inheritance or divorce.
