Within the speech were gems of encouragement for all women and girls. He spoke about how a righteous woman can be many steps and ranks above men. Can any worldly organisation be proud of such an assertion? Sadly, no, as even in recent times, men are treated as superior to women, in pay, respect, and status.
When Taliban claimed that they will protect women's rights, we decided to look at their track record to see if their actions actually support their claim. We found out that it doesn't! Therefore, we wrote a twitter thread that went viral and we decided to put it up here.
As an Ahmadi Muslim, I have always felt as the ‘other’ in my homeland. Despite it being the land of my ancestors and their ancestors, I always felt the need of proving my loyalty.
As UK removes all Covid related restriction, 16 year old Danila shares her personal experience of catching Covid 19 and urges everyone to get vaccination, and to still stay careful.
This Friday, I attended my local mosque for Friday prayers after 67 weeks. I distinctly remember the last time I picked my kids up after their Sunday class on a cold March afternoon. Little did I know that I wont be coming back anytime soon.

Lets make each day of the year, Mothers day, for heaven is under their feet.
