The role of Prophet Muhammad in changing mores and traditions Related to Women in Arabia

The basis of this research is to analyze the role Islam played in changing the lives of Arab Women. The first part of the research focuses on the events “During the pre-Islamic Era” and how women were treated during this time due to the difficult environment, rough life and mixing with other traditions. The second part “Status of women during the Era of the Prophet” explores how Muhammad changed the roles of women in society compared to the pre-Islamic era. The “Misconceptions about Muslim women today” focuses on human interpretation of texts which are prone to changes and how those changes affect and control the true state of affairs of women today. Lastly, “The role of the family in developing intellectual autonomy and a spirit of independence for the offspring” discusses the important role family's play in raising and guiding their children. The findings in this research may be useful in understanding the roles women play in Islam.
