In-person and online attendees will have access to the unlisted Livestream recording both during the live stream and indefinitely after the event is over. \nSeminar speakers at “Reimagining Womanhood: Examining Women’s Roles in Society” will speak on: \n\n11 a.m.Welcome\n11:05 a.m. to 11:10 a.m.Ustadha Nihad Hemmoudeh — Qur’an Recitation\n11:15 a.m. to 12 p.m.Dr. Rania Awaad — “Better Hidden” Women should “just be” homemakers and stay out of men’s affairs/domain\, i.e.\, public life\, formal education or specialized training\, employment\, financial independence\, civic engagement\, etc.\n12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi —“Better Desired?”— Women are sexual objects and don’t offer much more to society so they should be controlled and policed. They are defined by the size and shape of their bodies\, their desirability\, their dress\, and their behavior irrespective of their intellects or skills.\n12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. – Zuhr & Lunch\n1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.Ustadha Maryam Amir — “Better Equal?” Women are exact equals to men in every way and deserve everything that a man has. They should never settle for anything less\, even if that means fighting and protesting everyone that gets in their way and rebelling against the status quo.\n2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.Dr. Amina Darwish — “Better Than” Women are better than men in every way and don’t need men at all. Men are misogynistic and just aim to suppress women in every way. Women must live to fight men. Women are only held back by systems of oppression like patriarchy and must live to dismantle them all!\n3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.Ustadha Babalwa Kwanele — “Better Invisible” African American women in the community despite facing prejudice\, discrimination\, and racism both within and outside of the Muslim community are often made to feel invisible or as though their contributions are not as much or as meaningful to the larger Muslim community as they actually are.\n4:15 p.m. to 5 p.m.Dr. Haifaa Younis — “Best” Women are the creation of God\, servants endowed with intellect and the capacity to know Him intimately through the pursuit of sacred knowledge & worship. They are multi-faceted and unique in disposition\, temperament\, interests\, and talents. They are inwardly & outwardly beautiful when their virtues and characteristics reflect their love and obedience to Allah (SWT).\n\nWe will conclude with a final comments panel along with questions & answers with the five teachers before women-led congregational Maghrib prayers. The congregational Zuhr\, Asr & Maghrib prayers will be led in the MCC Prayer Hall by a female scholar. MCC will provide alternative indoor congregational options for brothers and non-retreat attending sisters for Zuhr and Asr and possibly Maghrib prayers. \nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attaining spiritual knowledge.
