Abstract

Empowering Women: Developing Social Status of Women Refugees living in Malaysia Principle author: Dr Maulana Akbar Shah @ U Tun Aung Women's empowerment can be described as promoting women's sense of self-worth, their capacity to decide their own choices, and their right to impact social transformation for themselves and others. It is closely associated with the fundamental human right that's also a key to attaining a more peaceful, prosperous world. Women's empowerment and issues of women's rights have developed as a part of a major international movement, and a day like International Women's management day is gaining momentum. But despite an excellent deal of progress, girls and women still face discrimination and violence in each part of the planet. Over the last few decades, there have been steady developments in women's empowerment. Gender-based discrimination is unreasonable and has no value. Women are still underpaid, expected to cook, and subject to parental restrictions. Women's empowerment is required to go above these obstacles and play an independent role in society. The basic right of women is to be empowered. They can engage equally in politics, economy, society, and education. They are regarded like males and given access to higher education. The dark period before the appearance of Islam in Arabia is even called by the Arabian people the period of ignorance. The people of that period believed women as a cause of indignity and embarrassment. They became ashamed and remorseful whenever they were told that their wives had given birth to daughters. Therefore, many of them buried their baby daughters alive, which was extremely brutal and savage. In Islam, a woman has a lawful personality, and who is able to enter into a contract or can make a bequest in her own name. The woman has the opportunity to execute any profession and has expertly to dispose of her property like men. She has full freedom to pick out her husband and is collectively allowed to her dower and maintenance. The following Quranic verses indicated the significance of women like they are a man because we are offspring’s of our fathers and mothers who are man and women. Both of them are created by Allah SWT to establish a family so that we come to know each other. Then we started building our community after combining many families. This is clearly mentioned that man cannot alone live and build this world; it is a combined participation and effort of man and woman. Allah SWT Said: “O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49:13). This research is conducted through the qualitative methodology, and it will be published in an index journal.
