This study looks at the role played by the Prophetic Sunnah in overcoming the obstacles and constraints that may face women's creativity. The study starts by giving a general idea about creativity in chapter one, Chapter two shows how women’s status differed tremendously after Islam compared to their status before Islam. Chapter three defines Sunnah and stresses its importance, and states the positive factors which affect creativity and Sunnah’s way of implementing them. Chapter four shows that by applying the Prophetic Sunnah Muslim women in the early Islamic era overcame the negative factors or obstacles to creativity which they had suffered from before Islam. And the last chapter tackles the modern day Muslims’ conditions regarding creativity, and the right way to reawaken and make use of it.
