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.

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.

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.”
For
more information on hours of operation and to book an appointment, visit Athr’s
social media channels and the Diriyah Biennale page.

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.

Programme
launched to improve preaching skills of women
02
Feb 2023
Doha:
The Department of Da’wah and Religious Guidance at the Ministry of Awqaf and
Islamic Affairs launched the ‘Badir’ programme to prepare females wishing to
participate in the field of Da’wah (preaching) and guidance.
The
programme, comprising several activities and events, will continue until March
9.
Supervised
by the Women Activity Section of the Department of Da’wah and Religious
Guidance at the Ministry, the programme aims to empower participants with
several knowledge branches related to Da’wah initiatives and develop their
administrative, planning, and implementation skills, as well as develop them so
that their initiatives contribute to expanding the scope of Da’wah impact.
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.
The
Ministry added that the programme includes seven forums with the participation
of a group of elite instructors and preachers of the Department of Da’wah and
Religious 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

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.
