“Few westerners realize that in the 7th century, Islam liberated attitudes towards women and granted them specific social, political and economic rights long before western societies did, such as the equal right to education, to conduct business, to own and inherit property, and not to be coerced into a marriage, instead introducing a marriage contract, a kind of early pre-nuptial agreement, to insure the rights of the woman in particular.” Her Majesty Queen Noor at an annual women of the year award ceremony. October 6, 1997. She will be speaking at HealthAchieve in Toronto on Wednesday morning.
