Hijab and Misconceptions

The distorted image of Muslim women
Since the height of the feminist movement in the late 70's there has been a magnifying glass placed over the status of Muslim women.

Unusual in the sense that it is very selective about which items it will magnify; other items it will distort to such a degree that they will no.. More -
Qiwaamah - from two different perspectives
The advocates of women rights who fiercely defend the right of women to work, do not rely on a sound humanitarian philosophy that regards this right to be a means of integrating the two halves of society, namely, men and women, nor is it an expression of their belief that Islam honors woman and regards her as a human being with full competency. Hence,.. More -
Equality between man and woman in competency
The woman is just like man in social and financial competency because the qualifier for competency is reason and woman is equal to man in this regard. This will clearly appear when we speak in a later article about the woman’s social and economic status in detail. However, here, we will mention two examples that may be considered as a general..

Does Hijab Prevent Social Development?
People who are impressed with modern civilization believe that the Hijab (Islamic covering) is a sign of backwardness that prevents women from development and hampers their creativity and individuality.

Freedom according to Advocates of Women’s Liberation
The mistaken concept of "freedom" that arose as a result of being fed on the resentment and revolution against the corrupt social system that ruled European society, resulted in the emergence of the concept of "personal freedom" which is raised by those who call for women's liberation in Islamic countries. They believe freedom to.. More -
Does Islam degrade women?
The image of the typical Muslim woman wearing the veil, forced to stay home, and forbidden to drive is all too common in most peoples' thoughts.

The Muslim Woman and Western Hurricanes
In modern Western imperialistic thought, the woman represents a very important front in the conflict against Islam and Muslims.
