A Toolkit for Advocates This toolkit, which introduces key elements in the Musawah Framework for Action and key messages, is a tool for building knowledge and mobilising for equality and justice in the Muslim family. Equality Equality for women is the defining issue for this century and a solution to global threats like conflicts, climate change and poverty. The Muslim world is front and center of this issue based on decades of regression. Musawah is a beacon of hope to Muslim women and men who know that their faith is not based on the repression of half the population. Yasmeen Hassan Global Executive Director, Equality Now Feminism God cannot be God if God is unjust. Zainah Anwar Musawah, Executive Director Patriarchy The Quran did not invent or introduce patriarchy. Prof. Muhammad Khalid Masud Musawah Resource Person Islam A major lesson from being a part of the feminist women’s movement is recognising that Islam is not precious, it is not brittle, it will not break. Rozana Isa SIS Forum, Executive Director Le Coran Le Coran est par nature un texte réformateur, un texte qui sème des principes éthiques tels des graines, pour les laisser germer et pousser selon la luminosité, la fertilité du sol, et la chaleur de l’endroit où elles sont semées. Ainsi le message du Prophète Mohammed a établi des principes éthiques égalitaires accompagnés de mesures graduelles pour l’établissement, à terme, d’une société plus juste. Sarah Marsso Musawah Quran Tawhid means Allah is One Unique Unity. The Tawhidic Paradigm means Allah Unites pairs and opposites into this sacred unity, with reciprocity, equality and dignity. Dr. Amina Wadud Professor of Islam and Qur’an, Musawah Affiliate Role Model My grandmother is my role model both as a human being and a Muslim. Women like her have managed to struggle peacefully through a male dominated society, to fully seize their place and to unfurl their lives as they should be.
