Position of women in Islam
Islam grants even more respect to women than to men. According to one Hadith a man once came to the Prophet and asked him, who rightfully deserved the best treatment from him.
“Your mother,” said the Prophet. “Who’s next?” asked the man. “Your mother.” “Who comes next?” the man asked again. The Prophet again replied, “Your mother.” “Who is after that?” insisted the man. “Your father,” said the Prophet.
