Yes, women in Islam, even non-Muslim women, have a Holy
Level because they represent mothers, sisters, aunts,
daughters, grandmothers and so on. Each have a Holy
respect in Islam depending on the nearness
to the mother of a person. But some Muslims,
unfortunately, disregard this Holy respect and act bad
actions.

the respect of mother in Muslim believe is higher then father as you might see answer of a Muslim lady,she quoted the says of MOHAMMAD(peace-be-upon-him) so that's final guidelines for all Muslims, And might be you can say that in the line of your question, that finally when the day of judgement every person has been called by their mother name, because a women she is the only 1 how knows how many child she conceive, there are several example about mothers how they protect and worried about their child's same as a children, that due respect in Muslims seem as a holy part in family.

Muslims hold women in such high esteem that they keep them incredibly protected. Sometimes protecting and keeping "Holy" can appear to be oppression. However, the Bible, the Qu'ran, and the Torah is clear.

Just because we Americans are so used to seeing our women parade around half-naked, talk publicly about being their boyfriends' prostitutes, and watch them behave like animals instead of women, we have lost touch of what morality is.

yes we do! Alot of people think that muslim women are somehow inferior to men. But, in fact, true Islam teaches that women actually hold more rights than men, and are considered Gods' gift to Men. Women in Islam, have just as much rights to inheritance and assets, within the Islamic legal system. Also, should a couple go through a divorce, the woman is entitled to slightly more than half of the Husbands assests.
Alot of people think that women in Islam are submissive, but that is only through the fact that they are being modest and are tryinmg not to draw too much 'unwonted' attention to themeselves.
There are many rules and outlines regarding Muslim women, but the main fact is that God says Women are to be shown respect and are allowed just as much, if not more room to do as they please, more than men.
Hope this helps

Women are held in very high esteem.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), when asked what person is the most deserving of honor, he replied "your mother."

The same person asked who, after their mother, was most deserving. He replied "your mother."

Again, he asked him who was most deserving, and he still replied "your mother."

The man asked one final time, and the answer was "your father."

So as you can see, the mother is held in higher regard than the father, by three times!

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said that if your father and your mother call you at the same time, you respond to your mother.

Another saying of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is "The best amongst you are those who are good to their wives."

yes they do. woman should learn as men( duty) . The best people whose their first baby is a girl. Man should give woman dowry before he get marry to her and he is responsible to give her everything she need. If a lady ,he is going to marry, has maids in her family life, he should bring one to help her unless he is poor . When a man divorce a woman he should give her money as a gift. Women have the right to choose their husband.If a man choose a girl to marry her and then he change his mind after he give her the dowry so he can take half of it before they getting marry.It is better to the girl to return all his money (dowry) back but this is up to her .The prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him ) has never beat a woman nor a child or a maid.

islam gave property rights to women.
women are held in high esteem in islam.
but in the way the west does.
she is a dignified person and not a mere showpiece or symbol of sex.
peace

i agree with

Muslima

and we Muslims in our daily 5 prayers ask 'Allah'
Rabi Ghfir li , war hamnii; walidaya( wa lahum) kama rabayani sughaara.

i.e O' My Lord, forgive me and my 2 parents,( and those) as they brought me up with while a baby.

(and those) also those good neighbors and friends.


5 or more times a day... NOT on Mother's day ONLY as nowadays people have come to know.

Generally not, according to their dogma. But please don't forget that the Christian Bible also frequently promotes "submission" on behalf of wives and mothers.

I think logic and common sense highlight the real "values" to be found in both Islam & Christianity!

These are 100% authentic citations from Islamic scripture:

“The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any AFFLICTION MORE HARMFUL TO MEN THAN WOMEN."”http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html#007.062.033

“(Muhammad) EVIL omen is ONLY in three: a horse, a WOMAN and a house."” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/071.sbt.html#007.071.666

"(As to those MUSLIMAH’S) on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and BEAT THEM;" http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html

Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that THE MAJORITY OF THE DWELLERS OF HELL-FIRE WERE YOU (WOMEN)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "YOU CURSE FREQUENTLY AND ARE UNGRATEFUL TO YOUR HUSBANDS. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE MORE DEFICIENT IN INTELLIGENCE AND RELIGION THAN YOU. http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/006.sbt.html#001.006.301
