The basic view of Islamic teachings on women, namely the Qur'an explains that men and women are created by God in the same degree. There is no suggestion that the first woman (Eve) created by God is a creature with a lower dignity than the first man (Adam). This is affirmed by the Qur'an in the letter of an-Nisa 'verse 1: "O all humans are devoted to your Lord who has created you from the same kind and from whom Allah created partners and in both God proliferate men and women Which is a lot. "This verse is an affirmation, that the material for the creation of man is no different, both the material used to create both men and women are of the same kind.

Islam does not recognize discrimination between men and women. Islam places women as equal partners of men. Even if there is a difference, it is the result of the main functions and tasks assigned by religion to each sex, so that the differences do not result in one feeling that they have advantages over others. Both complement each other and help assist in playing its role in life and life. This has been commissioned by Allah SWT in the circle of an-Nisa 'verse 32, "And do not be jealous of what Allah bestowed upon some of you more than others, for men are a part of what they earn and Even women are part of what they have earned, and ask God for some of His gifts. Allah is All-Knowing of All. "

From the above verse can be drawn understanding, that Islam proclaimed equality of men and women and the integration between the two in playing their respective functions (Huzaemah, 2001: 138).

This indicates that there is no difference between men and women of potential development which are equally received from Allah SWT. If the potential of women is considered underdeveloped, the lack of empowerment in many societies is caused by the culture of society that surrounds it and not by religious teachings based on Allah's revelation and the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad and its Sunna (Syarifuddin, 2004: 59).

Furthermore, Albar in his book, "Career Women in Islamic Scales" states, Islam honors women with a very noble honor, lifting their dignity from the source of ugliness and humiliation as well as from the burial of alive and ill-treatment to a respectable and noble position, Mother, under his feet lies paradise, the woman as a wife who should be treated with tenderness and refinement, the woman as a daughter, where the person who nurturing a daughter, two daughters or three daughters will be with the Messenger of Allah in heaven, so that Hinted at in his hadith: "And whoso testeth with daughters and treats them with kindness, they will become the walls of the fire of hell (HRMuslim).   

 A faithful woman who is steadfast in her obedience, God has provided for her what He has provided for the believers, there is no difference between men and women in this matter. The Word of God Almighty: "Whoever does good deeds, both men and women in a state of faith, we will indeed give him a good life." (An-Nahl: 97).

A woman is equal to a man in respect of rights and duties, he has perfect freedom in spending his fortune (Albar, 2000: 18). Moreover, this article will discuss the position of women in the political system whether women are entitled also in the top positions in government / state, since Islam recognizes the equality of women and men in general responsibility, will be discussed from the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, Khulafarasyidin, And contemporary times today.
