Islamic teachings promote gender equality and respect in the workplace. The Qur’an teaches that men and women have equal roles and should support each other in fairness and justice.
For example, Qur’an 9:71 says
Both men and women should work together to do good and avoid wrong.
Muslim women have historically taken on various jobs and roles, from education to government positions, showing that Islam supports their active participation in the workforce. Some traditional practices, like requiring more female witnesses for business deals, are meant to ensure accuracy, not to suggest women are less capable. Today, many are working to make sure that workplace practices reflect these fair Islamic values, aiming for a more equal and inclusive work environment.
Sultan ul Ashiqeen said: A woman has as much right as a man on Allah and His love, the Holy Prophet and his love and the acquisition of knowledge of Islam. She must also progress on the path of gnosis of Allah like men.
