2. Introduction:Womens role in the societySince the beginning of humanity, women has contributed in different aspects of life. The role of women is an essential part of the process of building any society. Each society needs the power of its members, both males and females, in order to function in a balanced manner.
Women form more than 50 percent of the total of the Saudi population. At the same time, they are responsible for raising the youth and the future generations. Women try to use their full potentials to be effictively engaged in the society. They do their basic role which is taking care of themselves, their homes and looking after their husbands and children when they get married. This role should not be underestimated because women can do tremendous changes and affect the young people’s behaviors which would lead to changing the life style of the society in the future. The capacity of women to play such a role depends on their societies and the way these societies look at them and value their efforts. Actually, it mostly depends on recognizing women’s rights espicially the access to education. Equipping women with knowledge and broadening their horizons would give great results and lead to magnificent outcomes.

From the Middle East to other countries, the men in traditional law do not just receive a higher education or vocational training. They also become lawyers, businessmen, and lawyers. They are educated at a higher level in these professions. They also know how to be responsible, because it is what they are trained to do that has given them the ability to perform as successful lawyers. Therefore, their professions are regarded as a part of the society and a part of their family. The men in traditional law are, on an equal basis with the women, very effective as lawyers and businessmen.
You saw this. In your work you mention the role of the women. The woman is the role of a member of the man’s family. They are also very effective in protecting and protecting the men from being seen as bad. It is said that these women are called “servants of the king” in the Arabic word for “honorable family men” and that they are also called the “wives of the king” who are called “bishops in the presence of the king” through whom a woman is regarded as a king’s wife at every court, but it is difficult to understand how we are going to use one term for a woman in this context.
According to Islamic law, women are called “servants of the king in the presence of the king” through those women in power who provide the women with leadership, care for them at home. They have a duty to protect against the enemy and to protect these ladies from women they see as unfaithful or immoral.
It should be well understood that the Islamic Law says that we are in a state of war for the men. We have no responsibility to fight for women. However, if the men are able to overcome the opposition of the women that would be more for their benefit. They must know that the men in their midst are enemies, not for the sake of their children, but because the threat of the women is very serious. A woman’s honor and dignity depend on the security of those who support her in their activities. As one who is prepared to fight, it is natural to take up arms against the women, and the women ought to be ready with all the good that is brought from them. They ought to also be ready enough to provide for their children. This is especially true in the case of children who do not need support from their father. These children are in an enormous danger because of the dangers they will face from the enemies.
The Prophet said, “The first is the mother of the child. If the father will not keep this to himself, let him leave the children, and let the mother give the first to the son, and give it also to the son. As for the second, let her be strong enough to follow the husband and the husband to the end.” The Prophet said, “Even as I have asked her, I have seen in her she has good courage and her patience with him, good faith, and good deed, and her patience can not be stopped until he comes. Even so, she is with you both.”
If we speak about the Islamic law, we should refer only to the wives of those who support (the women). The main reason why there is so much resistance is because they are not women. Women have responsibilities, not only in their home but they are the one with the duty to lead and protect them in the face of danger. The fact that many women are not women should not be accepted by the Islamic law. It would be to the world’s benefit to eliminate that stigma
Developed societies make great efforts to empower women to better their status and function in the society and make them able to seize more employment opportunities.
