Abstract
Scientific and technological advancements in the present century have resulted in profound social changes. Among these, the changes in family structure and most especially in women’s status and role in Muslim society are conspicuous. Recognition of the inferior status of women during the long period of medieval Muslim history and down to the modern period raises serious questions: Does this represent the Islamic ideal? Is there an inherent conflict between the Islamic tradition and the demands of the modern age? In order to better understand the status and role of women in Islam, an attempt has been made in the following pages to examine the status of women in Muslim society from an historical and sociological perspective.
