This research aims to shed light on the methodology of the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah in protecting women from harm, whether material or psychological. It also addresses the problem faced by Muslim women who are exposed to various forms of social harm resulting from the incorrect understanding of the teachings of our true religion that guarantees women the right to protection from all types of harm. The research highlights the importance of identifying women's rights to protection from harm, the most common forms of injustice and social harm they face, and the Islamic methodology for protecting them from harm. The research adopted an inductive methodology to collect the subject's vocabulary by referring to the most famous books written by scholars who dealt with the issue of women in general and the specific issue of harm. The research also used a descriptive analytical approach to analyze texts, identify the comprehensive relationships between them, extract rules and regulations formulated by scholars to regulate this issue, and highlight its features. The research concluded several important results, including that Islam guarantees women the right to security in all aspects of life, politically, intellectually, socially, economically, environmentally, physically, psychologically, and beyond. Women's right to a safe life free from all forms of harm, violence, and abuse is an inherent and established right in the Quran, Sunnah, and the consensus of the Muslim community. The research also found that women are exposed to various forms of social harm, including physical harm such as beating, rape, and harassment, and moral harm such as desertion in bed, in speech, and others. The research recommends the necessity of conducting research and studies that monitor all forms of harm that women face and developing necessary solutions and mechanisms to eliminate them. The research also recommends that all religious and social institutions play their roles in defining women's right to a safe and secure life and warning against any form of harm inflicted upon them.
