Muslim women come from the Islamic faith. Islam is a monotheistic religion in which its followers (Muslims) believe that there is only one true God, Allah, and honor and love the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the last prophet of God. As in any other religion, Muslims, especially women, have rights and requirements within their religion. In addition to wearing the hijab, Muslim women have the right to dress as they wish, choose who they want to marry, have the right to education and lead an imam.

In the Quran, God speaks directly to all Muslim women and says: “…guard their private parts and do not expose their adornment except what [necessarily] appears from it and wrap [part of] their head coverings on their breasts and not exposing their adornment (Quran 24:31).” Muslim women must wear a hijab, or head covering, when in public places and when around men who are not close relatives.

Muslim women are expected to dress modestly, can choose who their husband is, have the right to education, and are able to lead other Muslim women in prayer and preaching. Women of Islamic faith have more rights than stereotypes think, such as Muslim women being controlled by their husbands and having no freedom. Stereotypes will continue to follow Muslim women, but they will ignore them and continue doing what they do, what everyone should do..
