Contrary to misconceptions, Muslim women find incredible inspiration and empowerment in Islam, and in exemplary people from early Islam. Rather than needing to satisfy or appeal to others in our lives or wider society, Islam encourages us to turn to Allah the Almighty and attain His Pleasure and Love. In today’s episode, we will explore the ways in which this specific principle ensures equality in Islam and shields Muslim women.
