Educate a man, you educate a person. Educate a woman and you
educate a family. Educate a family and you educate the Ummah.
Islam brought about liberation of women from bondage, gave her equal rights, and recognized her individuality as a human being. Islam improved the status of women by instituting rights of property ownership, inheritance, education, marriage (as a contract) and divorce.
The women of the Prophet's time enjoyed the full range of rights and freedoms that Allah and the Prophet allowed them. There were many prominent Muslim women in that generation who were outspoken and contributed to building the Islamic society. Their names have been recorded. Qur'an is insistent on the full participation of women in society and in the religious practices.
The history of Muslims is rich with women of great achievements in all walks of life from as early as the seventh century. Since the beginning of Islam, Muslim women have made strong contributions in the development of Islamic Societies.

ROLE OF A WOMAN AS A DAUGHTER:
Islam honours women as daughters, and encourages raising them well and educating them. Islam states that raising daughters will bring a great reward. For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Whoever takes care of two girls until they reach adulthood, he and I will come like this on the Day of Resurrection,” and he held his fingers together. (Muslim)
At another occasion Prophet said; “None but a noble man treats women in an honourable manner. And none but an ignoble treats women disgracefully”. ( At-Tirmidi ).
The Qur'an provides clear-cut evidence that woman is completely equated with man in the sight of God in terms of her rights and responsibilities. Few examples of Quranic injunctions for the rights of Woman are as follows:
“Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds” (Qur'an 74:38).
“So their Lord accepted their prayers, (saying): I will not suffer to be lost the work of any of you whether male or female. You proceed one from another” (Qur'an 3: 195).
“Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily to him will We give a new life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to their actions”. (Qur'an 16:97, see also 4:124).
“O Mankind, keep your duty to your Lord who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate (of same kind) and from them twain has spread a multitude of men and women” (Qur'an 4:1).
A scholar who
pondered about this verse states: “It is believed that there is no text,
old or new, that deals with the humanity of the woman from all aspects with
such amazing brevity, eloquence, depth, and originality as this divine decree.”
On the basis of these evidences one can be a blessed daughter who pleases Allah and fulfills her duties & be a source of happiness for everyone and earn a lot of reward.
