MuslimahSource.org was started by a group of friends with the intention of serving as a resource and as a tool to empower Muslim women. What do we mean by empowerment? We mean helping women embrace and demand the rights guaranteed them by their Creator through the religion of Islam, building the capacity of Muslim women to engage their communities, and helping them overcome barriers to greater empowerment. Women play an equal if not greater role than men in shaping communities and societies. God willing, this website will serve as a hub of information and ideas on the issues facing Muslim women. It’s hard to be a woman in today’s world, and Muslim women in particular face many challenges. From egotistical, insecure men who hide behind a façade of religiosity to violence and discrimination, from exploitation and commodification to culture and women who are hesitant to claim their rights, from lack of purpose to low self-esteem, obstacles abound. But this site isn’t just about problems, it’s about solutions.
Education . Support . Guidance.
We hope to learn about Muslim women’s needs and hardships, and help address them. This website is the initial, online phase of what we hope and pray will blossom into a full-fledged organization that works to achieve the same ends.
