Mangalore, Dec 23: Educated Muslim women with religious knowledge should strive to establish a God-fearing society, said Shameera Jahan, deputy-coordinator, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Karnataka state unit.
Delivering the valedictory address at elite Muslim women's meet organized by the women's wing of JIH as part of its state level campaign 'women, the epitome of humility', at Talent Conference Hall in the city, recently, Ms Jahan said that a Muslim woman, as a mother and as social worker should play a vital role in producing a better generation.
“Our nation is now badly in need of better administrators and rulers. This period reminds us the competent and God-fearing rule of Hazrat Umar Farooq, the second Caliph in the Islamic history. He was so fearful of his caliphate that he said that even if a small goat dies (of hunger) at the bank of river, he will be questioned. We should train our children to learn such noble qualities of Hazrat Umar,” she said.
Sameena Afshan, Trustee, Shanthi Prakasha, spoke on problems and solutions of modern women with PPT presentation.
Stating that it is not appropriate say that women in olden days had been confined to the four walls of a house, she said that wives of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had played a crucial role in Islamic society. “Hazrat Ayisha was a good lecturer and Hazrat Khadija was well-known businesswoman and social figure. They had participated in wars too,” she said.
She said that in Indian context too we have the example of powerful women like Raziya Sulthana and Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bhai. In modern days many women lead a challenging life managing household work and job together. Along with all those things, a woman should be aware of her true responsibilities, she said, adding that the divine scripture has the solutions for all our problems.
Zeenath Hasan, coordinator, JIH, women's wing, DK district unit, delivered the introductory address. The programme commenced with the recitation of Quranic verses by Munazza. Zohra Abbas, Shahida Aslam and Zahida Jaleel expressed their opinions on the occasion. Ramlath Ullal compered the programme. More than 30 women hailing from different fields were present in the meeting.
