In this respect, special consideration will be given to the effect of natural factors on the respective spheres of operation of the sexes; woman's position and status in society, and whether the respective roles of the sexes have any influence in determining their status and role in society.
God sent His Prophets to all lands and to all nations in order to guide them to the Right Way of Life. This has been the normal practice concerning Divine Guidance. The Prophets convey God's Message and clearly explain the Right Way of their Lord to them. Then it is left to the people whether to accept their call and obey them and lead righteous and just lives in accordance with their teachings. They are equally free to reject their call and follow their own evil ways to their own loss.

The object of writing on the subject of the political philosophy of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ is to show mankind how the Prophetﷺ initiated the movement of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice in the Arabian Peninsula and how it gradually spread to other countries of the world; and how this seed-pot of learning, sown in the fertile plains and valleys of Spain by the Arabs circulated unimpeded for centuries throughout the peninsula of Spain and the South of France. Then from there it radiated to the rest of Europe and across the Channel to England. Thus manifold influences from the civilisation of Islam bathed European life in their radiance in diverse ways.
