| [slm] Perhaps the role of the Muslim woman in today's society. Or maybe how to be a good wife. |

| Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullah... How about... [size=4][center] :-* :-)GIRL POWER! :-):-*[/size][/center] Synopsis: Who is the Muslim woman? How has Islam empowered the Muslim woman? Reflect on our roles on earth, our roles as students etc and link on how Muslim women, play a large role to shape and contribute the ummah and society at large. Relate with the current situation and how do Muslim women empower themselves? Encourage the girls to have a vision of what they want to do, and wot they want to be, particularly when they leave college. How do they want to create an impact to society? Note: Above synopsis is slanted more on their contribution to the society as women who have been blessed with education, understanding and opportunities... not solely focused on being a good wife and mother (though such are important roles too) InshaAllah, if I have other ideas... I'll post another one. Allahua'lam ~~~To be powerful, is to be powerless to the All Powerful~~~ |

| [slm] One of our daughters, (she is 15) once talked to us (our age group is 35-75) about why she is happy to be a Muslim. As she said, she was so happy and proud to have been chosen by Allah to be on the straight path. She spoke of some of the benefits of her and her friends talk about being Muslim and how it is a protection from the world. She ended by saying she felt safe and her friends felt safe and cherished. I guess they were talking about how special and how positive their lives were as opposed to the others in their age group. (12-16 or so) (by this time there wasn't a dry eye in the house, alhamdullillah) A very interactive discussion could be developed, inshaAllah from this topic. :-) Muneerah [] |

| [slm] I don't really think College girls want to hear about how to be a good wife. I think they want to hear about empowerment, their rights in a business world and in their masjid community. I think we should empower them to be leaders in which ever field they choose. Tell them their rights and explain to them the various cultural attitudes and why they ( the men of those cultures) may be wrong. Then teach them why...so they can and will stand up for themselves and teach others what they have learned.

| What about the topic of famous Muslim Women of the past? You can pick a few from the great scholars, dai'ees, mothers, wives, mujahidahs, etc and how they all were so strong in their iman and how it played a great part in their lives... |

| [slm][font=comic SANS ms][color=green] bsm Far too much emphasis is placed on teaching a women how to be a good wife and far too little in comparison on teaching a man to be a good husband. Why must the burden of being the "perfect spouse" always fall on the women? Yes, there are men that endeavour to be the perfect spouse Alhumdulillah, but i just believe that we should place emphasis on both male and female in equal amounts - and sadly that is lacking in most lectures. I agree with Sr. Kathy, we should encourage young women to understand more clearly their roles in Islam and how it empowers them to be strong individuals, Insha Allah. It would be nice if the speech could center around clearly defining a Muslim wome's role in her family, community and the World at large. How a women should make the distinction between cultural and traditional influences that tend to get confused for "religious resolutions" and which subsequently (and sadly) lead women away from Islam. Sr. Jannah's idea of highlighting women role models is also excellent, as we don't tend to concentrate on these remarkable women as much as we should in lectures and speeches. [/color][/font] |

Chris[/quote] I think that's a better topic for parents. I haven't seen any forced marriages in any Muslim community here, but I've seen a lot of marriages that the parents refused to agree to when the kids liked each other because of different cultures/looks/stupid reasons etc. So they really should be educated more. |

| [slm] A speech on [color=blue]how a women can retain her Muslim identity in the corporate world[/color] would appear to be something to consider. Most of these young ladies will after all be embarking on some career or the other and should understand their rights in the work place, how to enforce it and how to retain their Muslim identities. |
