Women’s rights can be protected through Islamic teachings: Allama Rana Idris

Deputy Secretary General of MQI, Allama Rana Muhammad Idris, delivered a lecture on "The Status and Role of Women in Islam" under the banner of MQI Lahore chapter in Aziz Bhatti Town. He emphasized that the protection of women's rights is possible through the teachings of Islam. Islam, he said, abolished customs that were against the dignity of women. Women are the most important part of any society's progress, and today's women must adopt the example of the Mothers of the Believers. He said that before the advent of Islam, women were greatly oppressed and deprived of social and societal respect. He said that the message of Islam for women was freedom from the bonds of oppression and exploitation. He stated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever raises and educates three daughters, teaches them manners, and arranges their marriage, for him is paradise."

Allama Rana Muhammad Idris was addressing the fourth session of the ongoing 5-day course of Irfan-ul-Quran in Aziz Bhatti Town under the auspices of MQI Lahore. The lecture, which commenced after the Fajr prayer, was attended by Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Pir Syed Inamullah Shah, Allama Sahibzada Zahid Naqshbandi, Professor Zulfiqar Ali, Qari Riazat Ali Chadhar, Shahbaz Hussain Bhatti, Shafqat Mughal, Haji Muhammad Arshad, Islam Parvez, Haji Ahmad Sadiq, Captain (Retd.) Abdul Majid, Mairaj Khalid Qadri, and a large number of important religious, political, social, and business personalities, as well as men and women.

After the Irfan-ul-Quran session, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur presented the translation of the Quran (Irfan-ul-Quran) as a gift to important personalities.
