Our Roles As Muslimah

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

MotherLike what I have said in my other post “What is a woman in Islam” – a woman who can either be a mother, a wife, a daughter of a sister who has the right to take and duty to serve - and these duties of a woman being implemented is the stronghold of this Ummah. The strength of this Ummah depends upon us – The Muslimah! The Muslimah is the one of the primary and most influential factors in the victory of islam with the condition that she fulfills her role with complete courage and sacrifice. And if we fail to play our roles then I could say that we, indeed, are the greatest obstacles to the victory of Islam.

And the reason we address the women in this way is because when a woman is convinced about a matter, she will be the greatest force for the men to fulfill it. And if she is against it, then she will be from the biggest obstacles for the men to accomplish anything, especially if that woman is a mother or a grandmother whose obedience and pleasure is mandated.

Asmahan Mansour and her teammates

In late February 2007, 11-year-old Asmahan Mansour was ordered to remove her hijab or leave the field during a soccer tournament in the Canadian province of Quebec. The referee, who is also Muslim, said that her hijab would endanger her safety. After she was ejected from the game, her team walked off in protest. Four other teams forfeited their games and left the field in support of Ms. Mansour.

As a result of this incident, there has been much discussion surrounding hijab and sports. Is it possible to adhere to the proper Islamic dress code and at the same time be physically active? Is it a challenge to do so and what are some ways to overcome this challenge? Islamonline.net recently asked some Muslim reverts these very questions, and their responses were as follows.
