Empowering Muslim Women - Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini || 4th Muharram 2018

Undoubtedly, no society can see advancement and flourishment without the involvement and contribution of women. Nevertheless, many Islamic countries still lack behind in such a realization, sidelining their females and treating them like second class citizens. Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini discusses this critical topic by highlighting several steps that contribute to the empowerment of women in society, starting from the necessity of respecting and honouring all females. Furthermore, we understand the need to learn the etiquettes of dealing with the opposite gender with modesty rather than resorting to total segregation and limiting female involvement in society. As knowledge is the fountain head of every goodness, Dr. Sayed Moustafa stresses on the importance of providing education to our females, as they are ultimately the primary teachers, sacrificers and injectors of noble human values to our kids, hence why heaven lies under their feet. The discussion also touches on whether females should raise children, work in society or do both, and the necessity of strengthening one's piety and righteousness to maximize self empowerment. ____________________________________________ Verse of Discussion: “O you who have believed, fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah.
