The Messenger of Allah
(s.a.w.w.), addressing
the Muslims on the
occasion of the
Farewell Pilgrimage,
“Observe your duty to
Allah in respect to the
women, and treat
them well.”
HAZRAT MUHAMMAD S.A.W.W

Modesty is the
best Jewel of a
Woman
BIBI FATIMA S.A.

Woman can do wonders for the
betterment of her country and
society. It is essential, therefore, for
her to be educated so that her
faculties be activated and she can
take decisions based on good sense
and not necessarily because men
want things done in a certain day.
(Madar-e-Millat, 10th March 1956)

I speak not for myself but for
those without voice... those
who have fought for their
rights... their right to live in
peace, their right to be treated
with dignity, their right to
equality of opportunity, their
right to be educated.
MALA YOUSAFZAI
