Mfumo wa Kijamii katika Uislamu unahusika na wanaume na wanawake, pamoja na kanuni zinazodhibiti namna wanavyoshirikiana, iwe katika mazingira ya faragha au ya hadharani.

The Social System in Islam is concerned with men and women, and the regulation of the way they interact with each other, whether in the private or public arenas.

Daima kumekuwa na mkanganyiko mwingi miongoni mwa watu wa Magharibi kuhusu nafasi ambazo wanaume na wanawake wanacheza maishani. Zamani za kale, wanawake walionekana kuwa viumbe duni kuliko wanaume, na hata walilinganishwa na wanyama na kuchukuliwa kuwa "hawana roho", au kuwa mali tu. Na katika siku hizi, harakati na mashirika ya wanawake yanapambana dhidi ya mfumo uliopo ili kupata hadhi na haki sawa na wanaume.

There has always been much confusion among people in the West as to the roles that men and women play in life. In the past, women were seen as inferior beings to men, and have even been compared to animals and regarded as ‘without souls’, or just items of property. And in the present day, womens movements and organisations struggle against the establishment to achieve the same status and rights as men.
