Before Islam Arab women functioned as leaders and teachers, in the early Islamic era, this is has not changed. Women utilize leadership and teaching, priests, presbyters, and broaden the religious communities. The Queen of Araw and Asma of Arab filaq, and Yemen worked vehemently on such mission. Their jobs as state political leaders helped them to explore the teaching of Islam along with merchandise’s travelers; who attain into the wider religious communities around the world, even to China and India. Along with that, this explores Arab science and technology. As we saw Saeda Aisha, the waif of Muhammad, was a teacher and a leader. She was called the Mother of the Muslims.

In this example and from unlimited historical sources, we see how women in general spread literary, ethnographic and art historical sources that documented women’s leadership throughout the Arab World, the Mediterranean world and beyond.

Gratitude felt by people toward women leaders, hagiographies celebrating the gifts  of outstanding women, and attempts by male theologians to control women’s leadership.
