What They Don’t Tell You About Women in Islam vs. Christianity”

Have you ever wondered why women are often portrayed as inferior in certain religious traditions? In this video, we explore the roots of these misconceptions and challenge them head-on. We compare how ancient Greek philosophy shaped Christian views on women with Islam’s revolutionary approach to women’s rights.

From Aristotle’s flawed ideas about women to the Christian Church Fathers’ debates over whether women even had souls, we contrast these outdated notions with Islam’s empowering stance, which granted women rights to education, inheritance, and leadership centuries before other cultures.

Watch as we debunk myths and misconceptions about women in Islam and shine a light on historical figures like Khadija and Fatima al-Fihri, who played pivotal roles in shaping the Islamic world. Discover the truth about women’s spiritual equality in the Quran, and how Islam transformed women’s status in society.
