with the responsibility of using their minds for good, preventing evil
as God's trustees on earth.
"The believing men and the believing women are protectors one of
another; they enjoin good and forbid evil; they establish regular
prayers; practice consistent charity; and they obey God and His
Messenger. On them will God Pour His Mercy; for God is the Powerful,
the Wise." (Qur'an 9:71)
Several Qur'anic verses chronicle female thinkers and doers, such as:
Mary, the mother of Jesus; Bilquis, the Queen of Shebawho ruled justly
and believed in the One God; and Aasiya, the Pharaoh's wife who saved
Prophet Moses. History also tells of many great women: Aishah , the
wise teacher and philosopher wife of the Prophet, who taught people
daily for over 50 years; and Zubaydah, the famous builder of an
aqueduct system for pilgrims.
In the first Islamic state in Madinah, Prophet Muhammad asked women to
individually pledge loyalty (one person, one vote) to Islam and to his
leadership. Women were expected then, as they are expected now, to
assume their rightful role in societyas committed partners.
Muslim women today workfor the public good as activists, artists,
entrepreneurs, leaders, scholars, scientists, social workers and
teachers. Muslim women excel in all fields, not in spite of their
religious convictions, but because of them.
