Lecture # 13

(From the book Ideal Muslimah by Dr. Muhammad Ali al-Hashimi)

Chapter 1: The Muslim Woman and Her Rabb (cont.)

1. She understands the true meaning of being a servant of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala)    p. 45

In’Sha-Allah we will be finishing off this section.

2. She is distinguished by her Islamic character and true religion

The true Muslim woman is distinguished by her Islamic character, and she is proud of the high status which Islam gave her at a very early stage, before women in other nations attained anything like it. Fifteen centuries ago, Islam proclaimed the full rights of women for the first time in history, and Muslim women enjoyed human rights centuries before the world had ever heard of human rights organizations or witnessed any "Declaration of Human Rights."

Some discussion about the treatment of women in Europe in the past and in Arabia pre-Islam, and the treatment of infant girls in pre-Islam Arabia and what goes on today in the world.
