The status of Woman in Islam
In our new modern world, people believe that women are disrespected, shackled, suppressed, and veiled in Islam, but these are all misconceptions. Actually, all these are the misconception about the actual teachings of Islam. Western world derives this opinion by following the Muslims, who live in a tribal system, have their cultural obligations, or misinterpret the sayings of Islam described in the Holy Quran and Sunnah.

Woman role in Muslim Societies
Although, the western world claims that women have more liberties and rights, which are available only to men in Muslim societies. But, the fact is that only Islam has empowered women through Islamic sharia, Islamic laws and rules described in the Holy Quran, and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PUBH). We have numerous verses in the Quran, which describe the importance of women and their rights in Islam. Allah says,

Cultural rituals are actually the main hurdles in the freedom of women, but the western world relates it to Islam. Islam does not apply restrictions on women regarding vote casting and driving, etc., but people join it to Islam. The fact is that men and women are equal in Islam and in front of Allah. In Islam, men and women are considered as they are born. Men are born strong while women are delicate and Islam implements its duties according to this natural difference. The difference in Islam is only based on Taqwa and all other differences do not matter whether they are related to gender, caste, tribe, language, culture, region, or living standards.
