Islam took women by the hand and made them equal with men, whereas before the Prophet (ﷺ) came, women had no standing. The Quran emphasizes that both men and women are judged based on their faith and good deeds, not their gender. While Islamic tradition may assign specific roles to women, particularly within the family, these are not seen as a form of oppression but as a recognition of women's unique strengths and contributions. Islam gave women strength. Islam wants women to attain the high rank in humanity. Women must have a share in determining their destiny. If nations were deprived of courageous women they would decline and collapse. Islam emphasizes that women should not be treated with discrimination or violence, but with kindness and compassion.

That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph. ~{9:71-72}.

🔸Here's what Allah (ﷻ) advice the Prophet (ﷺ) to tell us (the believing Woman as a means of protection):

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. ~{Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 59}.

🔸Surah An-Nur 🔸:

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful. ~{24:31}.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Introduction:

Could you help us meet our goal?

Emergency Fund for Gaza War Victims

Story:

Hello, I’m Tareq Dokhan, reaching out for urgent help for my family in Gaza. Our home has been destroyed by the ongoing conflict, and we need immediate assistance to escape the violence.

The Situation: My wife, Reema, our children Nabeel Dokhan and Samar Dokhan, and I are caught in the crossfire of violence and instability. Our home has been destroyed, and every day is a struggle for survival amidst the chaos and danger surrounding us.

Why We Need Help:

As the situation in Gaza worsens by the day, we have no choice but to flee in search of safety and refuge. However, we lack the necessary resources to make this journey ourselves. We urgently need financial support to cover the costs of transportation, accommodation, and necessities for our escape.

"We were besieged by the occupying forces when they stormed the UNRWA headquarters in the industrial area for seven days. During this time, we were forced to flee our home more than five times, enduring severe malnutrition, especially with my young children, aged 7 and 3. The ongoing conflict has taken a significant toll on our family; my son Nabeel missed an entire academic year, and now we are facing a second year without education.

The relentless war has devastated our lives, leaving us in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. Our children are growing up in an environment of violence, without access to necessities, education, or a sense of stability. The psychological impact on them is profound, as they have been exposed to the horrors of war from such a young age. We desperately seek a way out of this nightmare to provide a safer, more stable future for our family."

About Us:

I am a hardworking father who only wants to provide a better future for my family. My wife, Reema, is a devoted mother who has been doing everything in her power to protect our children from the horrors of war. Our Life Before the War:
