Abd al-Halim Abu Shuqqah

Abd al-Haleem Abu Shuqqah (d.1995) was a great teacher and scholar. He had a real passion to revive the true Islamic spirit in the ummah and dedicated his life to learning and teaching. He taught in Egypt, Syria, Qatar and Kuwait. His particular focus was on Hadith studies.

MUSLIM WOMAN’S PARTICIPATION IN PROFESSIONAL, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL LIFE

Many of us imagine that in the early periods of Islam, women were largely confined to the home. They are surprised when they learn that some of the Prophet’s women companions were professional women, and that women took part in the political life of the early Muslim state, implementing the teachings of the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
