Undeniably, the roles of women in any development are very essential. However, there are women who are being side-lined. Their roles are being marginalized and even worse when they are being denied their rights. Indeed, women have rights to the elevation of their common sense, self-worthiness, determination of their own choices, and the right to social change for themselves and others. To achieve that objective, there many tools that can be used in which one of them are spiritual in nature, i.e., faith (Iman), a strong belief in Almighty Allah. It is not merely a vain wish but it is that which is established in the Heart and verified with works. It has three integrated aspects, namely profession by the tongue, conviction by Heart and practice by physicals. A good believer is the one who upholds all the three integrated conditions that make the person strong and tranquil. The true belief in Allah is able to raise women above all their living problems. This writing will elaborate in detail on the what, why and how Iman is essential in women empowerment.
