This thus allows individuals the freedom to decide on their functions and roles best suited to their contexts. This must, of course, be done by maintaining fairness and equality through mutual consultation, mercy, consideration and compassion between those affected by the decision. Another aspect that engenders the equal worth of individuals is that the Qur'an does not set value for particular deeds between men and women. You are members, one of another . In contemporary society this is not so.
Much more value is attached to the work that men do.
Domestic work is not less of a good deed than going out of the house to work. I believe that there is space in Islam to actually attach monetary value to domestic work done by wives. And if the criteria for valuing any function is monetary value then we should insist that all these functions should also have monetary values attached to them. History Let us now take a step back into our history and look at the various roles our sheroes played in the societies they lived in. I admit I will be focusing on and emphasising the active and assertive roles they played.
