History
of International Women’s Day:
Nearly
a hundred years ago, women who worked ten hours in a row in a textile factory
in New York called for a reduction in their working hours and an increase in
wages. As a result, the police not only brutally tortured them but also tied
the women to horses and dragged them into the streets. However, even after this
violence, the women continued to protest against forced labor.
Consequently
of the constant struggle and eternal sacrifices of women, the First
International Conference of Women was held in Copenhagen in 1910, which was
attended by about 100 women from more than 17 countries. Women have employed in
very terrible conditions and also earned half of the men’s wages. They died too
early from poor health. They did not have the right to vote in an election.

International
Women’s Day and the place of women in Islam:
International
Women’s Day was first observed in 1914, but the study of Islamic history to
protect women’s rights took place about fourteen hundred and fifty years ago.
Islam has given women status in the form in which she is. If she is a mother,
then heaven will be under her feet. If a woman is in the form of a daughter,
she has her place and if she is a wife, she has a separate place. In those days
women were considered a symbol of hatred, and regret was expressed over the
birth of a daughter. Rather, the daughters were buried alive. In such an age,
the universal teachings of Islam seem to promote women’s dignity and at the
same time protect women’s rights.
Islam
is the only religion that has taken a woman out of humiliation and humiliation
and given her the honor of humanity whereas in other religions before Islam
woman was considered as a symbol of humiliation, disgrace, and contempt.
They
are a dress for you (man) and you are clothing (vestment) for them, (Qur’an,
2:187).
Narrated
Abdullah bin Umar:
Allah’s
Messenger (PBUH) said, Surely! Everybody of you is a guardian and is
responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and
is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family
(household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her
husband’s home and his children and is responsible for them, and the slave of a
man is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for it.
Certainly, everybody of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges.
The
point is that there are a large number of such injunctions in the Qur’an and
Hadith. This determines the status, importance, and rights of women in Islam.
