Episode Synopsis "Empowered Muslim Woman (EMW 1) - Slaying Misconceptions"

  Slaying Misconceptions:  The Liberation of Women at the Time of the Message The narrative of “Women in Islam” is laden with many misconceptions. A woman must: stay at home, she shouldn’t work, she can’t travel, her husband can beat her, she can’t divorce, she has to be hidden. These are among just a few of the perpetuated untruths about Muslim women that have caused her rights to be stripped from her, leading to the mistreatment and exploitation of half of the Ummah. It’s high time we got rid of our cultural myths and re-educated our Ummah with the true story of women from the Quran and Sunnah, so that they may be empowered and inspired to live as Allah and His Messenger (S) intended. The true story of how the Quran honored women at a time when their worth as humans was in question by society. The true story of how the women in the time of the Prophet (S) were given respect, authority, and value in their communities.  Allah taught us how to honor the woman centuries ago, but with time, the lesson was lost. It’s time to revive the true story of women yet again.
