Under the Chairmanship of the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Muslim Council of Elders has reiterated the important role of women in social development and nation building.
The Muslim Council of Elders celebrated International Women’s Day which falls on the 8th of March of year and affirmed its continued support for women and their prominent social roles since they play a crucial role in the development, growth, and stability of society and the building of nations.
The Council also stressed that Islam revered women as mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives, and raised their stature and place in society. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said, “Act kindly toward women” (Narrated by Muslim) and “The most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one whose behaviour is most excellent; and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives.” (Narrated by Ahmed) and “The best of you is he who is best to his family, and I am the best among you to my family.” (Narrated by Tirmidhi).
