The roles of men and women in Islam are not actually clearly defined in the Quran itself. That's why different Muslims see women's roles in different ways.
Some Muslims are conservative, others are liberal, and others fall somewhere between, although all claim that their views are based on Islam.
The Muslims of a more traditional (conservative) position believe that women’s leadership roles in Muslim societies should be restricted while, on the other hand, the Muslims of a liberal position say that the conservative position has no basis in Islam. And, in fact, Muslim women have held high positions in the office and they have been even prime ministers and heads of state in some of the key Muslim nations such as Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey, for example.
