Introduction
We are going to discuss the personality without her world of the male is incomplete and charmless in every walk of life from the origin of humanity till in the present age. In this regard that personality is a woman who is considered an essential part of the world. The important progress of many countries is due to the major contribution of women around the world in the current time. But the condition of the women still in a bad situation and their fat has not been changed so for up to their status. Further, those societies in the nations are at the top of the list in the progress in economic, business, education, law, and even in the military that has given due respect to the women according to their skills and professions. If we see the status of the women in Pakistan it is worse as compared to the other countries.
Actually, if we see the scenario of the world regarding women. It will come to identify that around the world 43% of women are involved in agricultural labor along with men while this ratio even increases up to 70% in various countries. In the world, 80% of the agricultural production comes from African counties. In which major work is performed by the women in the small forms and agricultural lands. In this regard, women are not inferior at all in any condition and status.
In Pakistan women, prestige is still truncated, and regarding women, our country is considered the worst. We have complete 73 independent but 80% of women still in different sorts of forced work and face different sorts of violence at offices, agricultural forced work, business, and education. Further, in the gender development index, our country is about 83 numbers from 93 countries. One thing more our country is one of those countries where there is a negative sex ratio of about 101 women to 107 men. Due to such condition, Pakistan is counted in those where women role is denied in the progress of the society and the country.
Islam has equal status to men and women and both share the responsibilities of their life to International Journal of Culture and History ISSN 2332-5518 2021 make it comfortable to lead. They are also considered as two-wheel of the same cart to maintain the cart for the work. In this regard, Islam has given great importance and status. But due to personal interest, many narrow-minded Ulmas misinterpret the status of women. Thus, it is the truth that the real soul of Islam gives equal rights in every walk of life. The Holy Prophet emphasis on the status of woman in his hades that obtaining an education is the equal right of a man and a woman.

Importance of Roles of Women in the Society
In the developed countries admit the role of women in the development of the economy, commerce, education, and law. In Pakistan, women have played a significant role in the progress of society and the country. But their roles have not been recognized as parallel to the men. According to Olah Richter (2014), the main essential roles of women are discussed when they are engaged in social work, voluntary tasks, and willing performance in the development of society. In this way, women's roles are recognized when they perform their household activities. These are known as their cultural values in a specific society when they look after their children, husband, and complete household tasks.
Further, with the passage of time women's roles have been transformed in society and included human race development, social justice, equal rights in every walk of life are influencing the policy convinced transformation. Dhaske (2016) mentions that in India women do the social work activities in public and private sectors in order to bring equal gender privileges in India. In Pakistan, women are also playing their precious contributions to the labor force and politics. Thus, it is mandatory to highlight the significant roles of women in the development of Pakistani society.

Literature Review
It is time to encourage women's contribution parallel to men in every walk of life to the betterment and the development of the economy and social change in the country. Habayib and Cinnamon (2015) mentioned that most of the countries of the world now a day's focus on equal opportunities for both males and females. In addition, in this concern, the first step is to International Journal of Culture and History ISSN 2332-5518 2021 educate the female of the country because without education it is difficult to bring women forward to face the challenges of the world scenario. Asrar (2011) indicated that send women to school is the best way to provide a uniform platform to empower women. He further mentioned that in Israel women's education ratio is increasing day by day and it indicates that they are dead serious in women's empowerment and development of the country with the help of the women.
Fatima (2010) mentioned that Pakistan includes the line of the developing countries so the government must invest in the sector of education for female education at every stage from primary to the university level. Moreover, she supports her view by mentioning that Pakistan, India, Morocco, and Bangladesh are some countries where the female education ratio is less as compare to the developed countries. Need to bring Pakistan at satisfactory level women education and it is one of the vital sources to bring the state more stable in every sector. If we see that, men's and women's education ratio has increased in 1991 that is 47% and 27% as compare to 1981 which is 35% and 16%. Further, the education ratio in the rural areas is unsatisfactory which is 27% and 6% in the country. Grunenfelder (2013) described that from 1980 to 2000 in Pakistan the ratio of women's contribution has been at encouraging as compared to the other South Asian counties. In this concern in 2008, the ratio of women jobs increased by up to 22% while men 82%. This sort of situation is unsatisfactory for Pakistan.
The major problems which are a significant hurdle for women's progress are Pardah. Especially women of Abbottabad, Battagram, Haripur, Kohistan, interior Sindh, interior Punjab, North Waziristan, and many areas of Baluchistan. Besio (2006) mentioned that these women are forced to wear Pardah by family members, and it is one of the factor women have not come forward to participate in the development of the society otherwise Pakistani women are intelligent, creative, and productive to assist the other women to participate the welfare of the Pakistani society. In this regard, women's support, motivation, and education are mandatory for the economic, political and social development of the country. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the country to meet the challenges of the world which are changing day by day. Founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam also focused the women's empowerment for the betterment of society. He says that no one nation reaches its glory unless women of the state go side by side to men. It is one of the crimes that women are shut up within the four walls of the house. Thus, the Pakistani government and institutions should construct suitable policies regarding women's status and education so that they can be part of the development of the country.

(Al-Taubah 9:71) Islam has provided women rights which are told us about 1400 years ago and it is clearly mentioned without any discrimination that both males and females are equal in every aspect of life.
