The role of Women in the reform of society by al Outheymin - Al-Hadith Edition

The Role of Women in Society Reform - Sheikh Al-'Uthaymîn - Al-Hadith Editions

In this concise yet profound work, Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Sâlih Al-'Uthaymîn, a great scholar of the last century, addresses a crucial question of social reform: the central role of Muslim women in the evolution and preservation of society.

A crucial importance, explained in two essential points

The author identifies two main reasons why women play a decisive role:

1. Women make up half of society, and even more according to the words of the Prophet ﷺ, as illustrated by several hadiths. Their presence and influence are therefore essential in any attempt at lasting reform. ```Here is the translated HTML text from French to English: ```html
2. Education of future generations begins in the arms of women. It is within the home, in the mother's embrace, that the ethical, intellectual, and spiritual foundation of children is formed. The family then becomes the first school of the Islamic society.

Three essential qualities for reform

Sheikh Al-‘Uthaymîn emphasizes that for the Muslim woman to fulfill this immense role, she must cultivate three fundamental abilities:

• Piety (taqwâ), which guides intention, practice, and behavior
• Eloquence, which enables the transmission of values clearly and persuasively ``` Please note that the translation may not be perfect, but it should convey the general meaning accurately.Here is the translated HTML text from French to English: ```html
• Wisdom, which guides decisions and priorities according to the light of revelation

These qualities allow women to play an active and constructive role, not by opposing society, but by working from the heart of the home to the foundations of the community.

An accessible and beneficial approach

The style of Sheikh Al-‘Uthaymîn here is simple, direct, and accessible to all audiences, whether it be young Muslim women, mothers, educators, or anyone involved in educational or moral reform.

The book offers foundations drawn from the Quran and Sunnah, and provides a beneficial reading for anyone engaged in a process of Islamic reform.

A serene and enlightening message of reform

This book invites to a responsible and noble awareness of the role of women in building a virtuous society. It reminds us that reform does not only begin in institutions or public discourse, but in homes, hearts, and intentions.
