Denise Mansingh Mohammed says people must learn to separate the culture from Islam. - ROGER JACOB
Denise Mansingh Mohammed, a Muslim for over 25 years, says one of the main misconceptions about Muslim women is that they are subservient to their husbands, are uneducated and are not independent thinkers.
The mother of two said that was not the case, while admitting that many Muslim women accept such beliefs about themselves. We must learn to separate the culture from Islam. Educate yourselves and read about the women of Islam and you’ll see that they lead their own business. The Prophet (pbuh) worked for his first wife Khadijah. A isha was schooled in Islamic jurisprudence and men and women would seek counsel from her. Use the wisdom you have to understand this beautiful faith and you’ll come to know yourself and understand your purpose even better.
No Eidgaah in Lenasia this Year due to COVID-19 as Jamiatul Ulama SA South Gauteng Advises Muslims to Read Eid Salaah in Masaajid
May 03, 2021
The Jamiatul Ulama South Gauteng Branch has announced that the Eidgaah which culminates the end of the blessed month of Ramadan will not take place this year due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, the organisation’s Ml Yusuf Wadee says there was much consultation on the matter before a decision was reached.
“An appeal is therefore made to all Masaajid committee members to make arrangements for Eid Salaah at their respective masaajid. Inshallah, as soon as the situation allows, Eid Salaah will resume at the Eidgaah.”
