Zeena Housini 12B March 21, 2017 Contributions of Prominent Women in Islam In today’s world, Islam is misrepresented in almost every way and aspect. A major topic which is discussed many times is the role of women and how Islam views and treats women. In Islam, women are put on pedestals and given the utmost respect they deserve and in fact are given rights women in pre-Islamic times were not granted. These rights helped form some of the greatest, most courageous prominent women

Women are often frowned upon in many societies. Although most do not, some societies make it possible for women to be equal. When not equal, women are usually forced to do things beyond their will. When women are free in a society and once the leader dies, who made them free, it will often turn back to the way it was before that leader, leaving women unequal. Persepolis forced their women into many things they didn't want to. Muhammad's vision of Islam is depicted different than Persepolis on topics

believe that no one raised objections. His friends and playmates would go to different schools, churches, couldn’t vote or serve in a jury. Jimmy Carter begins the second chapter by showing his concern about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. World leaders signed and ratified this agreement to protect human rights, but they are not being protected and some religions have exempted themselves. Those relions are keeping women and girls from having the equal rights as the men do. The agreement has

families of origin. Murder by the family of origin was at its highest (72percent) in the Muslim world and at its lowest in North America (49). European families of origin were involved almost as often as those in the Muslim world, possibly

I found the social connections of the Muslim world to be varied. Women of the Muslim world differed depending on the respect in which they held in society. Women were sub servant in most of the Muslim world; although some were allowed to hold positions in admiration and in politics, others were forced to sacrifice their lives in order to prove absolute devotion to their husband’s. Unlike women social classes were relatively similar. The Ottoman for example had four social groups, which were then

In many religions there are problems facing the right for a girls education, luckily there are people all around the world like Dr. Yacoobi who fight against this even if they get criticism. The religion I have chosen to speak about is Islam and how these problems are being alleviated and how it all started for Dr. Sakena Yacoobi. How did Afghanistan become a place where families, especially women and children, where diminished and devalued in their own country? How did Dr. Sakena Yacoobi stand

segregating her face into two components. The artist’s eyes gaze intensely towards the viewers from the both sides. She opted to portray herself as a muslim woman to shed light on her religion and to explain the distinction amongst Islam and western culture. According to Syre, the poem inscribed upon her face narrates the belief of many Iranian Muslim women in Islam.

is the case for Mr. Shata, in the story of “A Muslim Leader in Brooklyn, Reconciling 2 World” by Andrea Elliott. Mr. Shata becomes the iman of a community in Brooklyn, NY, one year after the incident worldwide known as the 9/11. Even with the complexity of his position as the leader of a Muslim community in New York City, after the terrorist attack committed by Muslim persons in the city, due to his open-self he became a support for not only the Muslim community, but for whole town.

important for communication because it conveys another message and idea altogether. We need to study something like humor in order to understand why we laugh and what kind of ideas make us laugh. In the case of the movie “Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World”, I learned that humor can create a good or bad connection between countries and not just its people.

One of the best examples of unification through the Muslim world can be seen throughout its use of “Five Pillars of Islam.” One of its pillars is the practice of Zakat. Which means almsgiving which takes away the classes for a moment and has everyone help everyone. They do this by giving back to the poor if
