Single Muslim Women - Equal to Men Yet Different
Author: Tracy Ives  | Posted: 29-09-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 73 | Rating: (64)  (?) 
Whether it be single muslim women or men the Koran is addressed to all the muslims and it says that the male and female 'were created of the single soul '.The women's right as per the islam religion are the right to obtain education, to work and earn, to own independent property, equality of rewards for equal work, to express the opinion and to be heard, to refuse marriage that does not please her and so on and so forth.
Women's dress as per the Islamic culture is based on the principle of female modesty, purity and chastity. Some of them wear a modest dress which includes loose clothing and a scarf over the head and under the chin, and some wear a burkah which is a complete covering from head, face down to the toes.
Muslim women have played a vital role in the Muslim community. Early muslim women served the community through scholarships, teaching, nursing and other important activities. In Islam there is absolutely no difference between the men and the women as far as the relationship to Allah is concerned, as both are rewarded in the same way for good conduct and punished in the same way for bad conduct.
Single Muslim women have certain restrictions in the society. They cannot expose their beauty; they should not go to public baths and swimming pools during the common hours where men also come. They must lower their eyes and not see men with bad intentions. They should be careful in the dance halls and gymnasiums and they should be allowed to go to the mosque if they desire so.
The only Muslim country which forces the women to wear hijab is Iran. In other countries, the women are given a choice about the hijab depending upon the degree of faith they have in the reading of the religious texts. The hijab should be worn only when she goes out of her family home. A Muslim female is required to dress in a particular way when she goes in the public. A Kashmiri Muslim woman wears a loose pheran up to knee length. They also wear bunches of ear rings, the weight of it will be supported by a thick silver chain. On the whole, the women's modest dress protects the society from adultery and other illegal sexual relations that lead to the break up of families and corruption of the society.
Muslim men and women must lower their gazes. They should not mix with each other. There is no dating, dancing, or mixed social gatherings in Islam. To help the men and women to find their best life partner without dating in person, there are many dating agencies and online agencies which help them to come across prospective partners sitting at home.
The modern Muslims have become broadminded and there is a lot of understanding and little more freedom is given to the younger generation but at the same time the knowledge of Koran and the religious faith is kept under consideration.

Chiragh I Rawshan – an Ismaili Tradition in Central Asia
By: Ibrahim Machiwala | 23/03/2008 | Education
The word chiragh is derived from the Syriac shrag or shragh, meaning lamp, and Chiragh-i Rawshan means shining or luminous lamp, which is one of the oldest surviving Ismaili traditions in the regions of the Central Asia. It is an assembly (majalis) of the believers, where a lamp is illumined, which is its hallmark, and the Koranic verses are chanted for the eternal peace of the departed soul, or for the prosperity of one who is alive.
Hijab
By: Nawaz | 31/08/2007 | Religion
The Matter that concerns women is that of physical exposure of their bodies (Hijab). It is a very sensitive issue as most of people are quite emotional about this subject. The Muslim clergy feels that women should stay inside (the walls of the house); and if they go out, then they should look like walking tents! This has been taken for granted so much so that the clergy does not even feel that it has to quote any authority in this regard! Allah (God Almighty) when talking about Jews & Christians
