| description | Numerous Qur’anic verses such as 2:187, 4:19, 4:34, 7:189, and 30:21 deal with and address women, inspiring positively that women have serious role to play in the development of society.

This paper represents a humble effort to reflect on the related verses with a view to deriving positive messages rather than negative.
