"Actually, the Koran contains many verses that support the equality of women. For example, the Koran tells us that women have the choice to get married. If they choose to get married, then the Koran also encourages women to actually draw up a prenuptial contract, Glenn, so that in the event of a major disagreement between husband and wife, the woman`s interests, as she defines them, will be as

This is from an Islamic CD set I recommend by Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah..."It shows that the status of women in Islamic societies has never been uniform or monolithic but has shifted from place to place, from age to age, and from class to social class. The greatest disparity, however, has been between the norms of the Prophetic period and those of subsequent ages. Prophetic society lacked the

“We are perhaps living in times when living for Islam is more difficult than dying for it.”[Abdul Malik Mujahid]One of the things that is often overlooked by non-Muslims, and this I do not blame them for, is the importance that Islam puts on LIVING its message. Yes, there is great honor in dying for what you believe in, under the right circumstances. But Islamically, LIVING Islam in every aspect

MSA (Muslim Student Association) Elects First Woman President Within the Muslim community I have often found something that disturbed me, the discouragement of women being in leadership roles. This disturbed me because from what I have studied of the Prophet(AS) is that his wifes had huge roles in the establishment and implementation of Islam at its beginnings. Never have I read or come across

In Hamza Yusuf's new book, Purification of the Heart... "If we examine the trials and tribulations all over earth, we’ll find they are rooted in human hearts. Covetousness, the desire to aggress and exploit, the longing to pilfer natural resources, the inordinate love of wealth, and other maladies are manifestations of diseases found nowhere but in the heart. Every criminal, miser, abuser,

Women's Rights in the Mosque By Asra Q. Nomani Islam is at a crossroads, much like the place where the Prophet Muhammad found himself when he was on the cusp of a new dawn with his migration to Medina from Mecca. Medina became “the City of Enlightenment” because of the wisdom with which the Prophet nurtured his community, or ummah. In much the same way, the Muslim world has the opportunity to

Russian Hostage Crisis Should be Unnacceptable to All MuslimsI horrifyingly read and watched reports about the hostage crisis in Chechnya yesterday and today. I wonder, as many others do, why these extemists resort to violence to make their points? Being a Muslim, I can perhaps relate and understand the roots of these extremists desperation better than most. Yet, I will never be convinced of the

In the coming week, on Thursday, the new French Law banning religious parafanalia in schools specifically will go into effect. These are my feelings on the issue... Even though the new French law that states "The wearing of symbols or articles of clothing by which students ostensibly display religious affiliations is forbidden in public schools through high school", is disconcerting due to its

2 Sides of HIJAB: EXTREMISM AND RESTRICTIONIslam views Hijab as a voluntary act of faith. Neither should it be forced, nor should it be restricted.The following article depicts two wrong ideas of how Hijab is viewed. Neither is the correct view. I start here, on my quest to give Islam back its voice, because as a Muslim Woman I cannot be silent about the injustices being waged against my fellow

Assalm ale kum Muslims and Non-Muslims alike: I wanted to establish a site where Muslims could voice a defense for Islam and Muslims worldwide. Our voice is not being heard, our religion and people of this faith misunderstood, and Islam is getting misrepresented. Enough is Enough. The time has come for us to stand up and speak up, not whine mind you, about the injustices being brought upon the
