Lajna: A Recognition of Women’s Potential
Iffat Mirza, Cambridge The future tense is such a beautiful thing that we have in many languages. There is no greater affirmation that being told you can and will do something. The promise of being able to use your abilities to achieve, create, learn, teach etc is a precious thing to recognise in ourselves, others, and our communities. But it is also something that … Read More Lajna: A Recognition of Women’s Potential

The Journey Onwards and Upwards
Arfa Yassir, Swindon There is a constant chant for rights of women and their empowerment on various platforms. For some the chant is just for the sake of it, and some genuinely believe empowerment can improve health, reduce poverty and inequality. Islam claims to empower women in the true sense, but the popular perception is otherwise. Many think Islam limits progress and opportunities for … Read More The Journey Onwards and Upwards

100 Years of Empowerment
Iffat Mirza, Cambridge Just over one hundred years ago, in 1925, one of my favourite books was written: F Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic The Great Gatsby. The novel features a much quotable line from when one character is recalling the moment her daughter was born ‘I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little … Read More 100 Years of Empowerment

Progressive and Revolutionary
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn The term ‘revolution’ has several meanings, and it is manifested in different ways; but broadly speaking revolution is about bringing or causing a great change. The world has witnessed political, social, and economic revolutions throughout history. But there is one rather distinct kind of revolution that is not as greatly explored nor studied. That is a revolution that takes place within … Read More Progressive and Revolutionary

Equity and Equality: Islam’s Philosophy
Dur-e-Shewar Anwar, Walsall Equality has for generations been touted as the only acceptable outcome of a successful feminist movement. To appear progressive and forward thinking companies, organisations and movements must all accomplish equality between men and women. However, this sole focus on gender equality is fundamentally flawed, as it has led women to chase after a patriarchal ‘normal’ that has been created by men, … Read More Equity and Equality: Islam’s Philosophy

The Familiar and Intimate, Local Celebrations
Fezia Haq, London. Since its inception, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has been fortunate to achieve many milestones, in line with God’s promises to the Messiah & Mahdi, His Holiness Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him). One of many promises God made to him was: “People will come to you from distant lands and the victory from God will descend upon you.” [Tadhkira, page … Read More The Familiar and Intimate, Local Celebrations

Lajna Ima’illah Has Determination and Fortitude
Rabah Nasir, Worcester Park Objective 12: ‘Since every new project is ridiculed by people at the outset, it is necessary, therefore, that you should disregard their mockery and the lesson to bear taunts and insults with fortitude and bravery (whether given privately or in public), should be learnt beforehand so that by seeing your example other sisters should also come forward to perform their … Read More Lajna Ima’illah Has Determination and Fortitude

Lajna Ima’illah Empowers Me
Munazzah Chou, Farnham As a sister recently noted; the 1922 Committee of Conservative Party backbenchers, involved in the recent rapid turnover of British Prime Ministers has one thing in common with a group of pioneering Muslim women in rural India; a date. 100 years ago, on 25th December 1922 Lajna Ima’illah was established. (The similarities between those women and the overwhelmingly male Tories possibly … Read More Lajna Ima’illah Empowers Me
