🏵️🏵️ True equality in Islam is upheld through its principles, where men and women are treated with respect and honor. The Quran states, "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you" (Quran 49:13), emphasizing that piety and righteousness are what define a person's worth, not gender. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) affirmed women's rights, saying, "The best of you are those who are best to their women." (Tirmidhi).

Priyanka, advocating for equality without a feminist label misses the essence that Islam embodies respect for all. It's essential to engage in dialogues that reflect this understanding, promoting real equality rooted in divine teachings. Priyanka, your insights spark important conversations about societal structures; let’s work together towards a deeper understanding of true equality within the Islamic framework.

With warmth and understanding, 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D.
