The Noble Prophet came to teach the status of women.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) was asked who is the most beloved person to you? He replied: "Aishah".

The Prophet would be brought a gift and he would say "take this to so and so because she was a friend of Khadija’s".

He said: "Treat women good".

He said: "The best amongst you is the one who treats his family the best, and I treat my family the best".

He said: "You (men) are responsible for providing for them (women) in the best way".

He said: "The most rewarding wealth is the wealth you spend on your family".

He said: "From the good fortune of the man is a righteous wife".

From His teachings: "Aishah narrates that the Prophet and I would bathe together".

He said: "Whatever you spend (on your family) is counted as a good deed even the morsel of food that you place in the mouth of your wife".

From His teachings: "A woman came to the Prophet and said O’ Prophet of Allah pray for me and my husband. The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, May Allah shower His blessings upon you and your husband".

There is an abundance of evidence that Islam is the true Liberator of women. To further clarify this I will elaborate on how Islam has preserved the rights of a woman since she was a fetus in the womb of her mother till she was laid to rest in her grave.
