The question of the rights and freedoms of women is one of the most discussed topics
in recent years in cultural circles
both East and West. Even Islamic countries have addressed this
debate, and different companies about points of view,
positive or negative, varies considerably.
Some say that Islam is against any progress of freedom and
woman, believing that Islam considers women
totally at the mercy of men, and deprived of any rights or social privilege. Others
try in every way to break the laws of Islam in order to grant their
desires and their fantasies, or to make them compatible with the Western model
. This work, illustrating some of the key concepts
doctrine, jurisprudence and Islamic ethics (
the duality of man and woman, family law, criminal law, the Code of
Islamic clothing, work, etc..) was aimed at shedding light on this issue
also investigating controversial issues such as stoning,
and make intelligible the distinction between the rights and duties of
woman from an Islamic perspective.

"We believe that the woman is a human being with all the necessary particularity
primordial human, without any lack of differences with the other sex
. This is what
also expressed in the teachings of the Koran, in which the woman is defined a wise and responsible person as the man
able to understand scientific and philosophical concepts of
world around her. Even in understanding issues related to the origin of
created and the Day of Judgement there is no difference moral and intellectual
between man and woman, and both have a personality and a moral
mental capacity that forces them to walk the path of knowledge of the truth
(Fariba Alasvand).
