Event Details
The Prophet Muhammad said “Only an honourable man treats women with honour and integrity, and only a vile and dishonorable man humiliates and degrades women.” Being a Muslim is often more than a religious identity. In order to have a deeper understanding of the real role of women in Islam, diverse perspectives on gender and women in Islam, and how Islam personally treats to women, we are holding a seminar with the participation of Dr Chris Hewer on Monday, 18th February 2019 at our community building in Attercliffe, Sheffield. We will have the special opportunity to listen to his insights and thoughts on women in Islam. The event will start at 6.30pm and will consist of two sessions and a refreshment break. We kindly invite anyone who is interested. We also believe that such events give us the opportunity to get together and get to know new people. Therefore, everyone is welcome. The event is free of charge.
