Women in the Quran

The Women who live under the rules and regulations as set forth in the Quran have strict rules governing all aspects of their lives. The Quran is written in direction towards males, and not females although that is who they are adressing. There are specific lines on how to wean a child, to keep away from a women during menstration, that men are rulers of women. Today, the Quran is still widely followed in many parts of the world, focusing in the Middle East. There are many fundamentalist groups that take the Quran word by word today are extremely volatile. But the Quran also gives provisions to children and women who are divorced or widowed to protect them from the perils of the world for women alone. This correlates with the idea of the early Islam treating their women with positions of prestige as merchants, but the basis of the Quran goes against these founding princples. Muslim practices are held with the five pillars of Islam, that include prayer, alms, mecca, fasting, and professed faith. The women of the Quran are strong women that are dominated by male influences, but still find ways to be women of the western world with cosmetics, specifically eyeliner and mascara and eyeshadow, being the best sold products in the Middle East.
