Socially, women are respected in their roles as daughters, wives, mothers and sisters.
The document discusses the status of women before Islam and the guidance provided by Islam. [1] Before Islam, women faced darkness and were degraded in many ancient societies and cultures. They had no rights and were seen as property of men. [2] Islam brought intellectual revolution and light, elevating the status of women and giving them rights. The Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad established equality and respect between men and women. [3] Islam gave women rights to education, ownership of property, marriage, divorce and protection under the law.
This document summarizes the oppression of women that is outlined in the Islamic religious texts of the Quran and Hadith. It describes how women are given inferior status, allowed to be beaten by their husbands, subjected to polygamy, child marriage, honor killings, and lack legal rights. Their testimony is valued less than a man's and they face extensive discrimination under Islamic law.
what the holy Quran says about Muslim women,how prophet Mohammed(saw) treated Muslim women ,what are the traditions which emphasizes the high status of Muslim women in Islam.
The document discusses the status and rights of women in Islam compared to pre-Islamic times. It notes that prior to Islam, women were considered property with no inheritance rights. Islam improved women's status by granting them property and inheritance rights, including the right to divorce with a fair settlement. While polygamy was practiced before Islam, the religion regulated and limited the practice. The Quran also discusses modest dress for both men and women, and women's right to support and protection. Overall, the document presents how Islam enhanced and codified women's rights compared to earlier customs.
The document compares and contrasts how women are portrayed and treated in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity based on their holy texts. It finds that in the Quran, women are presented equally to men and are not blamed for original sin like in the Bible. The Quran also grants women many rights like education, inheritance, testifying in court, and keeping their own money after marriage. While some Muslim societies today do not always follow the Quran's noble teachings about women, Islam aims to perfect previous messages and establish equality.

It argues that Western society falsely claims to uplift women but actually exploits them. Hijab prevents molestation and rape. It also addresses why prophethood is only for men according to God's law, why some Muslims are wrongly labeled as terrorists, and the purpose of allowing limited polygyny in Islam to protect women.
The document discusses several common misconceptions about Islam, providing explanations on issues like polygamy, hijab, punishment for crimes, and the relationship between Islam and terrorism.

Before 610 AD in Arabia:
- Female infants were often killed or buried alive due to cultural views.
- There was no central government or law, and society was disordered, with issues like drunkenness, gambling, and exploitative money lending.
In 610 AD, the Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation from God and started preaching a message of monotheism, justice, equality and virtue. He established laws and a just social system through simple, moral teachings and leadership by example rather than force. Muhammad elevated the status of women and treated all people with compassion. Historians recognize him as one of the most influential people in history.
This document discusses the importance of community and social service in Islam. It covers three main parts:
1) The significance of community and social service in Islam, as emphasized by various Quranic verses and hadiths.
2) The various forms of community and social services, such as feeding the hungry, providing water, clothing the needy, serving the sick, and caring for widows and orphans.
3) Examples of community and social services provided through organizations like ICNA and others in North America.
This document discusses different concepts of liberty from Thomas Jefferson, secularism, and Islam. Thomas Jefferson defined liberty as unobstructed action according to one's will as long as it does not infringe on the equal rights of others. Secularism views liberty as freedom from external authority and control over one's self. Islam defines true liberty as perfect submission to God alone, freeing one from desires and slavery to others. Personal liberty in Islam means controlling one's inner self and desires through faith.
This document provides an overview of the problems facing modern society, including confusion over values, increased crime and social issues, and a lack of spiritual fulfillment. It suggests that the root cause is a loss of religious faith and fixed principles to guide behavior. Without faith, people and societies lose a sense of direction and moral accountability. Materialism and unrestrained freedom have failed to solve these issues or fill the inner emptiness that faith once addressed.
This document discusses reasons why people accept Islam in different regions of the world. It begins by outlining five general reasons for conversion seen during the Prophet's time and currently: 1) The role model of close companions to the Prophet; 2) Responding to da'wah (invitation) to Islamic monotheism; 3) Seeking the truth; 4) Reading the Quran; 5) Marriage to a Muslim. It then analyzes surveys from 2001 showing these factors remain important reasons for conversion today, with some regional variations - such as employers being influential models in the Middle East. The document concludes by recommending developing da'wah strategies focused on strengthening positive Muslim role models and sharing information about Islam.
The document provides 40 recommendations for reforming and improving the Muslim home based on the teachings of Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid. It discusses choosing a righteous spouse, making the home a place of worship through acts like prayer and Quran recitation, and teaching Islamic knowledge to the family. The document emphasizes guiding one's wife towards righteousness, inviting righteous guests, and establishing an Islamic library in the home to help strengthen faith.
Gender violence in Muslim homes includes physical, verbal, emotional and other forms of abuse. This is a serious issue that negatively impacts Muslim families and communities. Islam promotes kindness and equity between spouses. The Quran and hadiths condemn beating or harming women. Domestic violence is a crime, not a private family matter, and the Muslim community must work to prevent it and support victims through shelters, counseling and education.
This document discusses the Islamic perspective on hijab (veiling) for women. It begins by summarizing the low status of women in past civilizations like Babylonian, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and pre-Islamic Arab societies. It then explains that Islam uplifted women's status and expects them to maintain it. The document outlines the six criteria for hijab in Islam, including modest clothing that covers the entire body except the face and hands. It states hijab prevents molestation and that rapists receive capital punishment under Islamic law. The document criticizes Western society for degrading women and notes the United States has a high rape rate.

Islamic ethics are based on moral commandments from the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. Certain actions like worshipping only God, honoring parents, and avoiding killing are considered moral absolutes. Extremism is discouraged, and Islamic law aims to balance moral and pragmatic concerns. Views on issues like euthanasia, abortion, and homosexuality generally prohibit actions that end a sacred human life or interfere with Allah's will for how long one lives. Islam values all human life as given by Allah.

This document provides an overview of lessons from an online course about women, marriage, sexuality, and Sharia law in Islam. It discusses topics like the role of women according to the Quran and Hadith, marriage and divorce practices, and controversial issues such as beating wives, honor killings, and female genital mutilation.

The document provides an introduction to a book discussing the rights and duties of women in Islam. It aims to remove misunderstandings and present the topic according to the teachings of the Quran and hadith. The first chapter discusses how the main purpose of creation for both men and women is to worship God. It establishes the spiritual equality between men and women but acknowledges their biological differences, with each gender excelling in different roles that complement each other for society. The second chapter discusses the woman's natural role as a homemaker and mother, which is valued greatly in Islam.
Women's rights and status in Islam are discussed from various perspectives in the document. It summarizes that under pre-Islamic traditions, women were often treated as property without rights. The Quran and hadiths established women's rights to property, inheritance, divorce, education, and participation in public life. Islam requires equitable treatment between men and women in religious and social roles. Hijab is explained as modest dress and behavior mandated by God to protect women's honor and define their identity, not restrict their freedom.
The document discusses the social systems in Islam (Khilafah) and capitalism. It states that in Islam, men and women have equal religious duties but different social roles and responsibilities based on their natural differences. It is obligated for men to provide financially for their families while the primary role of women is as wives and mothers. In capitalism, men and women are considered completely equal and identical with identical rights and responsibilities, which can lead to injustice and exploitation of women. The document provides Quranic evidence to support Islam's distinction of roles and responsibilities between men and women in the social system.

It addresses common misconceptions about Muslim women being oppressed or inferior. Instead, it emphasizes that Islam guarantees full rights and dignity for both men and women based on their inherent human equality and complementarity of their roles in the family and society.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

20. Mission on earth
• Teaching about the earth’s wealth and fertility
• Prosperity
• The political principle of benevolence
• The development of culture, science, and economics
• Social and political developments
• Taking care of earth’s natural resources
21. Principles of Allah for Mankind :
• Family, society and ultimately the whole of mankind is treated by
Islam on an ethical basis
• Differentiation in gender is neither a credit nor a drawback for
men or women.
• Therefore, when we talk about status of woman in Islam it should
not lead us to think that Islam has no specific guidelines,
limitations, responsibilities or obligations for men.
22. Equity
• In Islam, men and women are treated with
equity: “natural justice”
• The limits and rights for men and women
may not be identical; because they are
different regarding their Creation Abilities
Roles and duties
24. The spiritual aspect
• In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and
women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both
are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same
punishment for evil conduct.
• Qur’an 74:38 Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds“
Qur’an 3:195
• “ ...So their Lord accepted their prayers, (saying): I do not leave
to waste the work of any of you (engaged in doing good), whether
male or female. You are all one from the other... “
25. Spiritual Aspect
• There is no hint that the first woman created by God is a creature of
lesser worth than the first male.
• The Quran deals with the pair with perfect equity. Both are equally
guilty of sinning; both are equally punished by God with expulsion from
the Garden; and both are equally forgiven when they repent.
26. Spiritual Aspect
• Qur'an16:97 Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and
has faith, verily to him will We give a new life that is good and
pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the
their actions. Quran 4.124 And whoever does deeds of
righteousness, whether male or female, and is a (true) believer –
such will enter Paradise…
27. The Spiritual Aspect:
• Religious obligations and rewards:
• In terms of religious obligations and rewards, such as the Daily Prayers,
Fasting, Zakat, and Pilgrimage, woman is essentially no different from
man (small differences in practice of each obligation is due to
differences in their nature) “ If any do deeds of righteousness, be they
male or female, and have faith, they will enter paradise and not the
least injustice will be done to them.” Quran 4:124
28. The Social Aspect
As a child and an adolescent
Despite the social acceptance of female infanticide among some Arabian
tribes, the Quran forbade this custom, and considered it a crime like any
other murder.
"And when the female (infant) buried alive - is questioned, for what
crime she was killed.“ Qur'an 81:8-9
Criticizing the attitudes of such parents who reject their female children,
the Qur'an states:
When news is brought to one of them, of (the Birth of) a female (child),
his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief! With shame does he
hide himself from his people because of the bad news he has had! Shall he
retain her on (sufferance) and contempt, or bury her in the dust? Ah! What
an evil (choice) they decide on? Qur'an 16: 58-59
29. The Social Aspect
As a child and an adolescent
• Among the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in this regard are
the following: Whosoever has a daughter and he does not bury her
alive, does not insult her, and does not favor his son over her, God
will enter him into Paradise. (Ibn Hanbal, No. 1957). Whosoever
supports two daughters till they mature, he and I will come in the
day of judgment as this (and he pointed with his two fingers held
together).
30. The Social Aspect: How to treat women?
• The Qur'an admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women:
• O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their
will. Nor should you treat them with harshness, that you may take away
part of the dowry you have given them - except when they have become
guilty of open lewdness.
• On the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity . If
you take a dislike to them, it may be that you dislike something and
Allah will bring about through it a great deal of good. Qur’an 4:19
• Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “ The most perfect believers are the
best in conduct and best of you are those who are best to their wives.”
31. The Social Aspect: Right to education
• The right of females to seek knowledge is not different from that of
males. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
Seeking knowledge is mandatory for every Muslim;. The Quran
repeatedly commands all readers to read, to recite, to think, to
contemplate, as well as to learn from the signs of Allah. In fact, the very
first revelation to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was concerned with
knowledge.
• Lectures of the Prophet were attended by audiences of both men and
women
• By the time of the Prophet's death, there were many women scholars
32. The Social Aspect: Rights in marriage
• The female has the right to accept or reject marriage proposals
• Her consent is a prerequisite to the validity of the marital contract,
according to the Prophet's teachings
• Right to retain her family name
• Full right to her Mahr – marital gift
• Right to be satisfied by her husband
• The husband is responsible for the maintenance, protection, and overall
leadership of the family, within the framework of consultation and
kindness.
• Right to divorce her husband
33. The Social Aspect: As a wife
• The Qur'an clearly indicates that marriage is sharing between the two halves of
the society,
• “ And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among
yourselves that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and
mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are signs for those who reflect.”
Quran 30:21 17.
• They (your wives) are your garment and you are a garment for them. Quran
2:187
• Just as a garment hides our nakedness, so do husband and wife, by entering into
the relationship of marriage, secure each other's chastity. The garment gives
comfort to the body; so does the husband find comfort in his wife's company
and she in his.
• The garment is the grace, the beauty, the embellishment of the body, so too are
wives to their husbands as their husbands are to them.
34. The Social Aspect: As a wife
• Marrying more then one woman
• The Muslim man is allowed to be married up to 4 woman. Only if the man
can treat them with equal fairness. If the man can’t treat them with
equal fairness then he should only marry one.
• Divorce
• If a Muslim couple get to the point of divorce, they should try their best
to save their marriage first. If they fail to save their marriage, the
divorce can take place. When this is taking place the woman can stay
with her ex-husband for three months and the husband must support her.
When the divorce is final the woman gets no more payment from her ex-
husband. Islam puts the right of the divorce to the husband and judge
only if the wife requests a divorce.
35. The Social Aspect: As a mother
• Islam considers kindness to parents next to the worship of God.
Quran says:
• "Show gratitude to Me and to your parents: to Me is (your
final) destiny." Quran 31:14
• Moreover, the Qur'an has a special recommendation for the good
treatment of mothers
• "And we have enjoined upon man (to be good) to his
parents: His mother bears him in weakness upon weakness...“
Qur'an 31:14
36. The Economic Aspect
• In the 19th century European women did not have the right to own their own property .
• In Britain, perhaps the first country to give women some property rights, laws were
passed in the 1860's known as "Married Women Property Act."
• In Germany the wife was denied any control over her property until 1922 by civil law!
• Islam provides a woman with:
• Right to possess personal property- buy, sell, mortgage, lease without anyone’s
permission being required.
• quot;Whatever men earn, they have a share of that and whatever women earn, they
have a share in that.
• " Qur'an 4:31
• In Islam the wife’s property and earnings are under her full control and for her use
alone. No matter how rich the wife might be, she is not obliged to act as a co-provider
unless she herself voluntarily chooses to do so.
• Right to seek Employment
• Right to Inheritance
• Financial security
37. The Political Aspect
• The general rule in social and political life is participation and
collaboration of males and females in public affairs.
The believers, men and women, are protectors, one of another: they
enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers,
practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His apostle. On them will
Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise. (Qur'an 9:7)
• There is evidence of participation by Muslim women in the choice of rulers, in
public issues, in lawmaking, in a administrative positions, in scholarship and
teaching, and even in the battlefield.
38. The Political Aspect
Islam provides a woman with:
Right to vote
Participation in political affairs
Women can be in leadership positions
Participation in public affairs
During the Caliphate of Omar Ibn al-Khattab, a woman argued with
him in the mosque, proved her point, and caused him to declare in
the presence of people: “The woman is right and Omar is wrong.”
39. Misconceptions about “Women in Islam
• Muslim women are slaves to their husbands/inferior to them
• Women are forced by their husbands to cover
• Women are backward
• Women are oppressed in Islam
• Women are completely devoid of spiritual, social, economic or
political rights
40. Conclusion
• The status which women reached in the west was achieved through
a long struggle and sacrifice on woman’s part and only when
society needed her contribution and work, during the two world
wars, and due to the escalation of technological change.
• Even with such distorted image of women in Islam in the West it is
worth mentioning that:
• Out of every 5 Muslim converts, 4 are women!
• The history of Muslims is rich with women of great achievements in
all walks of life from as early as the seventh century
41. Conclusion
• In the case of Islam such compassionate and dignified status was
decreed more than 14 centuries ago, not because it reflects the
environment of the seventh century, nor under the threat or
pressure of women and their organizations, but rather because of
its essential truthfulness.
