She stated that Islam was the pioneer in according recognition of the role of women in shaping society, the example set by the by Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), adding that through his [the Prophet] preaching and teachings, he has upheld the dignity and rights of women and their rightful place in society. "The Prophet's support to his wife Khadijain her business and entrepreneurship, is just one of the many instances that underscored the position of women in Muslim societies," she said.
