A research study of the rights and duties of widows of Dera Ghazi Khan District in the light of Islamic teachings

Abstract

After the creation of universe, Allah almighty has fixed and explained clearly the rights and duties of men and women. It is necessary to follow the rules fixed by Allah Almighty. In the same way, Islam has given a woman a place of honor and respect in the society. Beside the rights given to woman Islam has also imposed some responsibilities on her. Therefore, it is obligatory for a woman to fulfill these responsibilities. A woman may fulfill these responsibilities as a mother, sister, and wife and as a daughter. If a woman does not perform these rights and duties while living in a Muslim society, this act will not only effect on her but also the whole society. Islam has given equal rights to men as well as woman if a man is given external rule; the woman is not only the caretaker of the house, but also the guardian and caretaker of the house internally. In this article, the rights and duties of widows in Dera Ghazi Khan are examined in the light of Islamic perspectives.
