Girls Participating in GIO Rajasthan State Conference
“We must go ahead and outshine in the field of education, but with our Islamic identity, because progress on cost of identity is a sheer loss,” said Sister Saliha Malik, Gujrat State President of the Girls Islamic Organisation. She was addressing a large gathering of girl students as the chief guest of GIO’s first state conference in Rajasthan at Muslim Musafir Khana of Jaipur. While speaking on the central theme of the conference “Let Us Spread The Light Of Knowledge, Make A Better Society,” she said that we can build a better society only by virtue of knowledge. She said that during the time of Prophet (SAWS), women played an important role in gaining and spreading knowledge, so much so that many eminent scholars used to come in order to get knowledge from them. She said that Prophet’s (SAWS) Wife Hazrat Khadeejah (RA) was a big trader as well as a good scholar and a doctor, all at the same time. Stressing on the importance of education in Islam, she said that it is obligatory for every Muslim, either man or woman to acquire knowledge.
