Despite gender constraints in areas involving authority over men, women ulama actively challenge male dominance in Islamic scholarship. Dr. |

During the past century, the world has experienced nearly incessant violence and persecution in which religion is a significant factor. Tens of millions of people have been forced to migrate because they are minority populations of states that define belonging by ancestry and faith. Today, hundreds of thousands of Muslim Rohingya refugees fleeing violence in Myanmar are living in Bangladeshi refugee camps. The partitions of Greece and Turkey, India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, and Protestant and Catholic Ireland still reverberate through collective memory and geopolitics. |
 From Event
In Islam, the bonds we forge with one another are not just social ties; they are sacred threads that unite our hearts in the pursuit of spiritual growth. Our faith teaches us that when we come together in brotherhood and sisterhood, we not only strengthen our individual selves but also fortify the fabric of our entire community. |
