WOMEN IN ISLAM is an organization of professional and social activist Muslim women dedicated to the empowerment of women through knowledge and practice of Islam.

Centuries ago, Islam elevated the position of women in society and treated them on equal and equitable standing with men, and in some cases, gave them even higher status. Islam prohibits the oppression of any of humanity - women, children, the elderly, the sick, the wounded, and the physically challenged. The hungry must be feed, the naked clothed, the homeless sheltered, and the wounded or diseased given medical care, regardless of their political views. Our mandate is to reclaim that Legacy.

We seek to provide a forum for action to improve the quality of life for Muslim women at home and abroad. Our objective is to address issues pertinent to Muslim communities worldwide and build understanding across cultural boundaries in the interest of global social justice.
