Women’s status in Islam is one of the most controversial & serious issues of our time, not only among Muslim women & those who represent them in the area of women’s rights in the Islamic world, but also because the position of Islam on this issue has been among the subjects presented to readers & viewer in different parts of the world the least objectivity. This presentation is intended to provide a brief & authentic exposition of what Islam stands for in this regard. It starts with a brief survey of the status of women in the pre-Islamic era & then focuses on these major questions: What is the position of Islam regarding the status of woman in society & political issues? Is there equality between women & men in Islam? How would this compare with the “rights” which were finally gained by woman in recent decades?
TIES Center cordially invites you to its move night on Monday, March 25th at 7:00pm entitled, “Women In Islam.”
The right status and responsibility of Muslim women are some of the least understood topics when talking about Islam. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recognized women as individuals with specific rights and responsibilities more than 1,400 years ago. He encouraged educating women and returned their Allah-given rights back to them. Many Muslim women today are asserting these rights and reclaiming their status as equal partners in society.
Come along with your friends to enjoy this educational movie in a serene environment at the TIES Center!
