Shaykh Habib Ali al-Jifri on the Community’s
Responsibility to Women
“Enough of this talk that it was Islam who gave women their rights and it was
Islam that freed women. Yes, Islam did that. The question isn't whether Islam
did that or not. The question that should be asked is why we're not implementing
Islam in that regard? Why do we just leave it as sermons?”

Connecticut sister Chaplain
Nur Moebius is a domestic violence survivor as well as a mom whose young two year
old son, Junaid, died of cancer recently. Sister Nur was homeless due to domestic
violence before arriving at a local community shelter during the time of her son’s
diagnosis and treatment. After his death, she organized a memorial to honor his
memory as well as to teach others about Islam. She credits her strength and successes
to the help of Allah, and continues to speak out against domestic violence. The
support of her mentor, Dr. Ingrid Matson at the Hartford Seminary, has also helped
Chaplain Nur to find the strength to continue to educate her community that domestic
violence has no place in Islam. Please pray for this strong survivor.
