Women have to stand up for their rights: Mirwaiz

Srinagar: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Wednesday said Islam has laid great emphasis and clear guide lines for giving equal rights to women and treating them with respect and dignity.

Addressing the religious gathering at the revered shrine of Hazrat Khawja Naqsbhand Sahab (RA) at Khawaja Bazar on the eve of last day of Aishra-e-Rehmat (10th day of Ramazan), which also coincides with the death anniversary of Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (RA), Mirwaiz said it is a matter of serious concern that women are treated as inferior and shabbily in our society in violation of Islamic teachings. He said women have to stand up for their rights and their rightful place as given to them by Islam.

Paying rich tributes Hazrat Khadija (R.A) the beloved wife of Prophet of Islam (Pbuh), Mirwaiz said that she was truly The Mother of Believers, who was the first to accept the message of wisdom as it was delivered to her by Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) himself. She also was his true and wise companion on every occasion.

She a generous lady and noble in her deeds who sacrificed her wealth and time in the rightful service of Islam.

Shedding light on the sacred month of Ramazan, Mirwaiz said that the basic aim of this month is to introspect at individual and collective level and to create a society based on religious principles and values. He said the holy month gives an opportunity to the Muslims to once again devote themselves to Allah and check our deeds. Mirwaiz said it also gives us a chance to think about and protect the Islamic character, culture and identity of this place.
