Muslim women demand non-restriction of hijab use globally

February 3, 2023

The Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women has called for the lifting of all restrictions and discrimination against the usage of the hijab and hijab users nationally and globally, creating awareness of its usage as well as campaigning against its prohibition, castigation and maltreatment of its wearers.

The Coalition which is made of numerous women Muslim groups including FOMWAN, NAFSAT, Women in Da’awah, MESH, Ansarudeen, Al-Habbiya, JADAFIA amongst others made this clarion call at a world press conference to mark the Tenth World Hijab Day on Friday in Abuja.

The Coalition decried that ‘despite decade long sensitisation through the World Hijab Day lnitiative and other platforms across the globe, the painstakingly clear provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended on Freedom of Religion, Conscience and Thought, and the numerous decided cases on this subject, Muslim women and girls continue to go through continuous harassment and discrimination in schools, work places, capturing/ visa application centre and other public places for the singular act of donning the hijab.’

The Coalition cited several instances of anti-hijab sentiments globally including an interim injunction of the High Court of Karnataka, lndia restraining all Muslim students from wearing the hijab, the burning of the hijab in Kerala, lndia, and in lran by groups of women, a shooting spree at peaceful protesters on the use of hijab by hoodlums on February 3, 2022, in Nigeria, and the denial of hijab use by Muslim students at Baptist Girls Grammar School, Oshogbo amongst other cases of discrimination.

“We implore you to champion this advocacy and spread this message and indeed you (the media) have a huge responsibility, a mighty calling and a great opportunity to spread this message and clarion call,” the Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women’s communiqué added.

Rakhi Sawant vows to fast in Ramadan, perform Umrah if…

Rakhi Sawant (Screengrab from YouTube)

----------

Mumbai: Rakhi Sawant who recently announced publicly that she is married to Adil Khan Durrani came up with shocking news on Thursday. Speaking to the paparazzi outside her gym, Rakhi said that her marriage is in trouble as her husband Adil has extramarital affairs with a girl. Rakhi did not reveal the name of the girl but she alleged that a girl is blackmailing her husband.

The actress broke down while speaking to the media. She said that ‘marriage is not a joke’. She blamed Adil Khan that he used her for his own ends and fame. ”Meinnahichati ki ab aap Adil kay Interviews le aur bhotbada star bana day. Usko ko wahichayetha, Industry mein aa kay meraistimaalkare.” She further said that Adil is in a relationship with another woman who is now blackmailing him.

Rakhi said that she will go to Umrah also. She said, ”Allahsaimeinmaangungi, tees rozayrakhungi, mein Umrah jaungi, Mujhay Adil le jayetoh better hai, mere bahautsaareMusalmaan bhai haimeinunkobolungimujhe Umrah karaye (I will pray to Allah, I will keep fasts every day, I will go for Umrah. It would be better if Adil takes me. I have many Muslim brothers, I will tell them to take me for Umrah).”

She further added, “Jesus ko manti hu mein , Allah ko mantihun, mera Allah khudasachahai, meinsachibiwi hu aur sachayisaimeinnainikkah aur sachayisaimeinnai Islam quboolkiyahai..Yeh(Aadil) sudhar kay mera pass zuroorayenge. (I believe in Jesus and I believe in Allah. I am a truthful wife and I have accepted Islam truthfully through Nikah. Adil will definitely come back to me).”

In another video clip, Rakhi Sawant can be heard saying, “Adil is a liar. He swore by the Quran that he will block that girl. But he did not do it and now that girl is blackmailing him. She has some dirty proof about Adil.”

Rakhi Sawant is seen trying hard to save her marriage and let’s hope that her husband will come back to her life.

Rakhi Sawant and Adil Khan Durrani got married as per Islamic rituals. Their Nikah took place on May 29 last year, as per the legal marriage certificate. Recently, speaking to the media Rakhi made it official that she has accepted Islam and has changed her name to Fatima Durrani now.

Three women go solo with artwork at Jeddah’s Athr Gallery

----------

JEDDAH: The Athr Gallery is showcasing three independently curated solo shows, sponsored by the Cultural Development Fund, until April.

The work of two Saudi nationals, Daniah Al-Saleh, Asma Bahmim, and one Kuwaiti national, Farah Behbehani, is being featured at the gallery. 

Al-Saleh’s show is titled “Keep Smiling,” which addresses the use of non-verbal symbols in modern communication in an increasingly digitized world.  “Our method of communication might have changed from a clay tablet to a smart tablet or smartphone. It seems that we as a society have accepted emojis as part of our daily life,” she told Arab News.

“We have collectively evolved by using a digital version of hieroglyphics in the form of pictographic codes and emoticons that offers the recipient insights on the possible mood of the sender.

“It addresses the context of emojis and ubiquitousness and the usage of the pop culture and its usage of emojis in everyday text, everyday communication. In here, I’m questioning the use of emojis. Is it a sort of mask, is it sort of proxy for our emotion or mental state? Or does it really help in exploring our emotion and relating to the other — communicating better messages? I leave the answers to the viewer,” she said.

Bahmim’s work, titled “Fantasia: A World Between Reality and Imagination” is also attention-grabbing.

Her work encapsulates the essence of the Islamic Arts Biennale spirit. She uses animals to generate fictional dialogues and highlights the importance of the tradition of storytelling.

“Fantasia was definitely a passion project for me. The medium and technicalities of it serve an essential role in the message I wanted to bring out, which was a culmination of a lifetime of exposure and research in storytelling,” Bahmim said of her solo show at ATHR.

“I wanted to bring to life the daydreams that crossed my mind going through a story in a book. I wanted the viewer to be lost in the fantasies, not just in the story but the backstory of the elements of these stories,” she told Arab News.

Behbehani’s elegant work, transcending time and space, is aptly titled “And Make Me Light,” inspired by words that she has masterfully re-interpreted.

“The concept of the show is returning back to light through spirituality. One of my biggest works is based on a dua (prayer).”

“Basically for this entire poetic verse, I took the words of this verse and I incorporated it into the geometry design; each word has been transformed in square Kufic calligraphy to fit within the geometry of this work,” she told Arab News as her young son stood by, his eyes alight with pride.

Behbehani has been using Islamic cultural forms and Arabic words as inspiration for decades.

Using Qur’anic verses, poetry and prose, her intricate calligraphic designs are enveloped into each of the seven administration buildings at Kuwait University.

The buildings served as “stoic structures” for her art as “an ephemeral play of light and shadow through a maze of letters that draw upon references from Islamic literature.”

Behbehani’s exhibitions and shows are displayed both in the MENA region and worldwide. She is the author of the 2009 book “The Conference of the Birds,” based on the 12th-century Sufi allegorical poem. Her book interpreted the classic text through illustrations in Jali Diwani script.

Behbehani is also participating in the Islamic Arts Biennale this month with her “Path of Light” three-paneled kinetic piece, which was inspired by a poetic verse from writer Ahmed Shawi’s tribute to Prophet Muhammad.

The opening of the three solo shows comes as part of the inaugural Islamic Arts Biennale 2023 at the Western Hajj Terminal in Jeddah.

Athr gallery issued this statement exclusively for Arab News: “Our relationship with the Diriyah Biennale Foundation has been strong since the inception of the foundation and its first edition in 2021.

“Many artists have been showcased at the biennale, with artists such as Ahmed Mater being in both editions. In the current edition (Islamic Arts Biennale 2023), we have seven artists featured, again highlighting the diversity of our roster and their practices.”

“We have aligned with DBF to be included on their schedule and to have the openings of our exhibitions to coincide with the opening program of the biennale as a way to reinforce the importance of a holistic approach to supporting the arts.

“Athr has been established since 2009, and we are now glad that newly established entities like DBF and their activities amplify the efforts of the private sector.”

Death of Iraqi blogger sparks demands to end ‘honour' killings

Mina Aldroubi

Feb 03, 2023

Iraq must change the law to protect women from violence and prevent perpetrators from using current legislation to claim immunity, activists told The National on Friday after the death this week of blogger Tiba Ali.

Ms Ali, 20, was strangled to death while she slept on Wednesday after she had revealed she was raped by her brother in 2017, her father told authorities, when he turned himself in and admitted to the killing.

She initially fled to Turkey for her safety but eventually returned home.

Since her death, a recording has spread widely on social media purportedly of her speaking to her parents about the rape incident, in which her parents appear to acknowledge the assault and a male voice tells her to forget about it.

The Iraqi IsenOrganisationFor Human Rights said that Ms Ali had made repeated pleas for help on Instagram after being threatened by her family. It said that after moving to Turkey she had met a Syrian man and wanted to get married but her family refused to allow it. The group added that she had returned home in the hope of persuading them to accept the marriage.

Al Arabiya TV channel reported that her mother had invited her home to attend the Arabian Gulf Cup football tournament held in Basra in January.

Activists condemned the killing, telling The National that the absence of clear legislation against domestic violence was giving a “green light” for some to get away with murder.

“Under the current law, Teba's father cannot be punished [for her murder], this type of crime is legalised and he will not be taken into custody or questioned,” Inas Jabbar, a member of the Iraqi Women's League, said.

Iraq allows “honour” as a mitigating circumstance for violence and such killings fall in a legal category separate from murder.

“Criminals in Iraq have a safe haven as there are no legal, societal or humanitarian obstacles to stop the perpetrators from committing such crimes,” Ms Jabbar said.

Data is scarce on the scale of the problem but it is believed that thousands of women in Iraq suffer domestic violence and dozens are the victims of “honour” killings every year.

Activists point out that Iraq lacks modern and effective mechanisms and laws to protect victims.

Law needs changing, activists say

Iraq needs a law that identifies domestic violence as a crime and there should be suitable and well-protected shelters for women escaping violence, said Ali Al Bayati, a former spokesman of the Iraqi Human Rights Commission.

“We must also amend Article 409 of the Iraqi penal code that reduces a punishment and charge against anyone responsible for committing a crime under the title of 'honour crime.' This encourages such crimes,” Mr Al Bayati said.

Article 409 in the constitution reduces a murder sentence to a maximum of three years if a man “surprises his wife or one of his female dependents [who is] in a state of adultery or finds her in bed with a partner and kills her immediately or kills one of them.”

Iraqi law must also provide equal sentences for male and female perpetrators and exclude the special exemption for male killers under Article 409.

“We don’t have a law that talks about the protection of families and one that gives protection to women and children. We don’t have state-funded shelters to protect women who have run away from their families,” Mr Al Bayati said.

The programme, comprising several activities and events, will continue until March 9.

This will be done through several methods based on partnering with a group of female preachers who had the lead in conducting several initiatives to deliver religious messages. The Ministry indicated that the programme would work to support meaningful and constructive women’s projects and initiatives that need encouragement and support to implement and benefit from them in the field of Da’wah and guidance.

Canadian Council of Muslim Women pen letter of support for Elghawaby amid calls for resignation

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) has written a public letter of support for Amira Elghawaby amid renewed calls for her to step down as Canada’s representative on combating Islamophobia.

Québec politicians are demanding Elghawaby resign for comments she made in a 2019 op-ed where she criticized the province’s Bill 21, which bans certain public-sector employees, including teachers and police officers, from wearing religious symbols on the job.

In the op-ed piece, Elghawaby wrote that “the majority of Québecers appear to be swayed by anti-Muslim sentiment, holding negative views of Islam if they support Bill 21.”

She apologized for the comments on Wednesday before meeting with Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, who was unmoved by her contrition.

The CCMW says the continued calls for resignation are more evidence of discrimination against Muslim women.

“The calls for her resignation since she has been appointed only further highlight how important this role is and how Islamophobia continues to target Muslim women across the country,” the organization wrote.

“It is not lost on us that Ms. Elghawaby happens to be a Muslim woman in hijab because her reality is our reality.”

“As a Muslim women’s organization, we are proud to stand with Ms. Elghawaby in her new role and are confident that she will fulfill her role competently and fairly.”

In her apology, Elghawaby said: “As a member of Canada’s Muslim community, we know what it’s like to be stereotyped. We know what it’s like for people to have biases, and I understand the words and the way that I have said them have hurt people in Quebec.”

“I have been listening very carefully. I have heard you, and I know what you are feeling. And I am sorry.”

Despite those words, Blanchet said he still wanted her to resign.

“Because of what she said and thought before, it does not qualify her for being this bridge between not only Quebec but anybody who is not Muslim because there are tensions on these issues and because there have been fingers pointed at Quebec and at Bill 21, and there’s been an association between Bill 21 and Islamophobia.

“All of these things put together, whatever her personal qualities might be, disqualify her for the function.”

Women entrepreneurs pushing forward economic growth in Pabna

Ahmed Humayun Kabir Topu

Feb 3, 2023

Keya Islam, who lives in Radhanagar village under Pabna sadarupazila, had started her hand embroidery business about a decade ago in order to help provide for her family.

Now, hundreds of people in the area are engaged in making clothes for her brand, called "Sara Butik and Fashion", either from their own homes or Islam's household factory.

Islam currently sells her products, which include Karchupi apparels, bed cushions and covers, through the two retail outlets she owns in Pabna town, earning her up to Tk 60,000 each month.

"I was trained in hand embroidery, so I started working in between chores at home to assist my family," Islam said.

"Within a few years, I had to expand operations by engaging more women due to the increasing demand for such clothes," she added.

Like her, numerous entrepreneurs have set up small-scale commercial operations in Pabna, playing a vital role in the district's gradual economic growth.

Nazira Parvin, founder of NazirpurMohilaUnnayanShangshtha, runs separate outlets for handicraft products made of bamboo, cane and wood that are produced at the household level in Nazirpur village.

Local women trained in making various household products from these items, such cloches and a traditional device used for breaking paddy called dheki, supply the business with its wares.

"We supply the necessary elements to manufacture these products at home, earning them between Tk 300 to Tk 400 per day," she said.

Around 200 women in the village are now helping to bring solvency to their families by engaging in this work, which is also playing a vital role in the region's socioeconomic activities, Parvin added.

Other than manufacturing products like Islam and Parvin, many women in the district are earning well from other professions as well.

For example, Irani Sultana Rima, another resident of Pabna sadarupazila, had no way to survive with her two children until she started to make a living by cooking at home.

She now supplies her food to different areas of the district headquarter.

"I cook various local dishes for orders placed via my official Facebook page or direct calls," said Rima, who earns a minimum of Tk 1,000 per day from her profession.

"Denying social criticism following my divorce, I have maintained my family well and am now happy," she added.

On the other hand, Trina Kundu, the wife of a government employee from the same upazila, may not be suffering financially, but still became an entrepreneur as a hobby.

"I love cakes and pastries, so I learned how to make them on my own," Kundu said.

She initially made baked goods only for her near and dear ones but as word spread, she started getting orders from different corners.

"Now this is my household business," she added.

There are more than 20,000 small entrepreneurs in the district, a large portion of which are household based, that are playing vital role in economic development, according to Md Rafikul Islam, manager of the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) office in Pabna.

However, these small entrepreneurs still face multifaceted challenges, such as poor access to finance and marketing.

But with the gradual success of their commercial activities, the BSCIC has come forward to gear up small entrepreneurs.

Besides, the organisation also organises fairs for displaying their products.

"We have already disbursed Tk 400 core as loans among 1,500 entrepreneurs in the last few years," said Rafikul, adding that the BSCIC gives training to those who have an interest to become an entrepreneur.

However, he went on to say that they are often unable to reach many potential entrepreneurs due to the lack of proper surveys.

Saudi Arabia: Prayer area designated for old women at Grand Mosque

February 03, 2023

Ramadan Al Sherbini

Cairo: A prayer area has been designated for old women at the Grand Mosque, Islam’s holiest site, in the Saudi city of Makkah as part of efforts to upgrade services offered to Muslim worshippers, a mosque official has said.

The General Presidency for Affairs of the Grand mosque and the Prophet Mohammed’s Mosque said it has allocated the prayer area on the ground floor of the Grand Mosque next to Gate No 88, fitted with all necessary services.

The area was launched by deputy chief of the presidency for women’s social and humanitarian services, Abeer bit Mohammad, who said that opening the facility is aimed at ensuring comfort for old female worshippers and give them an easy access to services.

“Designating a prayer area for old women is a step towards upgrading services provided for worshippers heading to the Grand Mosque,” she added.

During the launch ceremony, meals, the holy zamzam water and copies of the Quran were offered to worshippers at the prayer area.

Authorities in charge of the Grand Mosque have already allocated prayer areas for the physically challenged worshippers and provided them with all services needed by the persons with mobility, hearing or visual im-pairments to ensure their comfort and safety.

Millions of Muslims from inside Saudi Arabia and around the world flock to the Grand Mosque, home to the Holy Kaaba, throughout the year.

In its latest step to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) at the Grand Mosque, Saudi Arabia last September launched robots for the Holy Quran recita-tion and sermons to serve the faithful.

The robots display barcodes enabling users to download their services on personal smartphones or press commands on the robots to access in-formation on prayer imams, muezzins, weekly schedules including names of clerics delivering the weekly Friday sermons.

In recent months, a series of robots have been launched into service at the Grand Mosque for providing fatwas (religious edicts), sterilisation and cleaning the rooftop of the Holy Kaaba.

UAE: Top French institute to open specialised women's clinic at Abu Dhabi hospital

4 Feb 2023

Franco-European Multidisciplinary Institute of Endometriosis (IFEM Endo) will establish a specialised clinic for women at Abu Dhabi’s Burjeel Medical City.

The French institute will establish a centre of excellence for highly advanced minimally invasive surgeries for endometriosis – a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and/or infertility.

According to the World Health Organisation, endometriosis affects roughly 10 per cent of reproductive age women and girls globally. It is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination, chronic pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and sometimes depression, anxiety, and infertility.

Thus, the new clinic will not only provide world-class care for women but boost medical tourism in the UAE.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Bordeaux-based French institute and Abu Dhabi-headquartered Burjeel Holdings, whereby the IFEM Endo Middle East Clinic will be established at Burjeel Medical City in April. The clinic will serve as a central referral receiving station for the UAE and the GCC, and will enable endometriosis research and publications, as well as the establishment of the Emirates Endometriosis Support Club.

The clinic will have a multidisciplinary team comprising general surgeons, urologists, pain management specialists, physiotherapists, and gynaecologists.

Prof. Horace Roman, consultant, obstetrics and gynaecology and founding member of IFEM Endo, will lead a team of doctors to organise the diagnosis and the multidisciplinary management of the disease as well as the management of pain using the model they apply at the clinic in France.

The team consists of Dr Benjamin Merlot, consultant, obstetrics and gynaecology and founding member of IFEM Endo, Prof. Quentin Denost, colorectal and pelvic surgery at the Bordeaux Colorectal Institute, Dr Sandesh Kade, specialist, obstetrics and gynaecology, and Dr Monica Chauhan, specialist, obstetrics and gynaecology.

The clinic will provide exclusive and state-of-the-art treatments for adolescent endometriosis, reproductive age endometriosis, endometriosis and fertility, endometriosis and pain. The team will also offer advanced endometriosis surgery and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery.

Prof. Roman is hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of the patients in the UAE and beyond.

“This clinic is a testament to the team’s commitment and dedication to providing the best endometriosis care possible. I am confident the clinic will play an important role in improving healthcare standards in the UAE and be a source of medical excellence in the region.”

John Sunil, CEO, Burjeel Holdings, said the new partnership is yet another contribution by the group in promoting Abu Dhabi as a life sciences and medical tourism hub, and will boost endometriosis research.

“At Burjeel Holdings, we are committed to providing quality healthcare services to our patients and believe that the launch of IFEM Endo Middle East Clinic is a major step forward in achieving this goal. The new clinic will help patients access advanced medical care and enable them to receive the treatment they need in the most convenient and cost-effective way. The clinic will strengthen our capabilities in endometriosis research and pave the path for more publications, increasing the potential for a significant future impact on local and global outcomes," Sunil said and added that the comprehensive obstetrics and gynaecology department at the hospital will provide the necessary services to support the clinic.
