Any religion can be compared to the attic of an old home. Unless the attic is regularly cleaned, it gathers dust and cobwebs and eventually becomes unusable. Similarly, if a religion cannot be updated or cleaned from time to time, it loses its usefulness and cannot relate anymore to changed times and people....
In the best circumstances, the Wali takes care of the affairs of the woman properly. He facilitates matters for her and stands by her though in doing so he faces many hardships and problems. But in most of the cases the Wali is not that caring, rather he takes advantage of the rule and blackmails the woman. Many wives hand over all her salary to the husband so that he escorts her to the office. Many fathers stop the education of their daughters to take revenge on their divorced wives. Many sisters have to bribe their brothers for getting their help in petty matters....

Women have adopted the method of ‘baring-it-all’ in public since ancient times to protest against all sorts of issues they felt important. Legend has it that an upright noble Lady Godiva in eleventh century England felt so strongly that she took up the challenge to ride naked on horseback through the streets of Coventry to protest against her husband’s oppressive taxes imposed on the poor. However the husband commanded all to remain indoors and shut windows and doors for the event........
Attitudes towards divorce are changing among British Muslim women. My mother’s generation regarded divorce as immoral, so sustaining a marriage for them was a lifelong project. However, for British educated Muslim women like me, divorce is an entitlement, even within Islamic law. My mother and I married men from Pakistan.....

“I begin in the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Salaam Alaikum. Peace upon all those who gather here. Let’s speak to the concept of compassion and mercy. If we want to ask God for compassion and mercy, then we must try and show the same compassion and mercy for all God’s creation, which includes people of all faith, the environment and animals. We greet each other with the universal Muslim greeting of peace. Just saying “peace upon you” does not create peace....

This is not a particularly favourable trend, given the high levels of discrimination that already exist."....

Dowry is a mental thing. It is psychological. And it is not individual but a social phenomenon. It has been in the custom for a very long period of time now. It has got in the veins and blood of us without any discrimination of religion, caste or creed. We all are equal here in this milieu. To get rid of it we cannot just go for a simple surgery to cut off the portion which is harmful for the body because it is not a body thing....
The Hijab, or the Muslim veil, has been getting attention circa forever. It is a source of oppression to some, liberation to others, of confused “Are they Arab nuns?” and really good cover-ups on bad hair days.
