Women struggle for supremacy or equality in contemporary

Abstract

Islam is defined as a complete way of life. It entails a lot of activities including warning to polytheists and reward to obedient believers who worship Allah, follow the creed and establish good and commendable relationships with humankind. Because Islam covers the whole worldly and heavenly activities of mankind, Allah reminded the Prophet (PBUH) of the rights and responsibilities of male and female and their limits at various stages in life. Gender autonomy or discrimination in some aspects of human activities in Islam is neither negotiable nor tenable to win legislative support in conventional law or to become norms. Therefore, Islam leaves no option for man to practice some of his inspired views that are contradictory to Allah’s even where conventional legal framework is reviewed and sanctioned its practicability. Where such were given a trial, there had been repercussions in the form of irrevocable, naturally swift punitive measures against the perpetrators. The paper aims to study gender discontentment, including challenges and prospects in the modern world. It will draw conclusion with useful recommendations from the divined backgrounds. This study will be descriptive, analytical and critical while shaping its framework from liberal feminism and social constructivism. However, divine judgment will be the epitome of ratification for clarity of what may seem to be vague in the understandings of gender and rights in Islam.
