Methods of appealing to women in the Hadith of the Рrophet Muhammad


Abstract
This work is devoted to analyzing the status, rights, and attitude towards women in Islam based on religious sources and historical facts. The text refutes the widespread notion of the oppressed position of women in the Islamic tradition. Examples from the Quran and the Hadiths, as well as from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, are provided to affirm the high spiritual and social status of women and to establish her rights and responsibilities equal to those of men in matters of faith, alongside the special respect accorded to mothers and daughters. The paper argues that Islam, emerging in the 7th century, was a revolutionary force that granted women a wide range of rights and legal protections in the spheres of marriage, divorce, inheritance, and financial independence, which they had been denied in pre-Islamic society. It further emphasizes the important role of women in the religious and public life of the Muslim community. The article concludes that the communicative model of the Prophet serves as a universal ethical benchmark for gender interaction in Muslim society, remaining relevant in the modern era.
