What is the hijab? Rulings on Niqab, Jilbab? How did women dress at the time of Rasulullah (S)? Is a black abaya the only thing they wore, what about jewelry and make up? All of these questions have been discussed and debated by scholars for over a century. We will look at the Quran, Sunnah and work of our scholars to find the various answers to these questions inshaAllah.  Ustadha Safiya's series is based on the book "Tahreer ul Mara fi Asri Risalah" which translates to Liberation of Women During the Time of the Message. For centuries, widespread misconceptions have subjugated women and compromised their rights and roles. Please join us as Ustadha Safiya Ravat helps break down these false narratives and instead shows how our Deen elevates women back to their honored positions in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah

The true story of how the Quran honored women at a time when their worth as humans was in question by society. The true story of how the women in the time of the Prophet (S) were given respect, authority, and value in their communities. Allah taught us how to honor the woman centuries ago, but with time, the lesson was lost. It’s
