Women in Da'wah: Fitna or Fardh?

 

Should Muslim women be creating Islamic content online? Giving da'wah? Debating? Livestreaming?

This question has become one of the biggest discussions in the online Muslim world. Some argue that women should avoid public platforms altogether, claiming that online da'wah is a man's responsibility and that a woman's place is exclusively in the home. Others disagree.

In this episode of Islamically Correct, Sheikh Usta and Brother Nasr tackle this controversy head-on. Sheikh Usta argues that many of these objections misunderstand both the role of women in Islam and the obligations of da'wah. He explains why the real issue is often the state of men—not the participation of women—and challenges the growing narrative that women must be absent from the public sphere in order to preserve modesty.

At the same time, the discussion does not dismiss the importance of a woman's responsibilities as a wife and mother. Instead, it explores how these responsibilities fit within Islam's broader mission of establishing and conveying the truth.

Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation aims to move beyond slogans and examine the issue through an Islamic lens.

The FORBIDDEN Life Of Women In Afghanistan In 2026. I Was SHOCKED! 🇦🇫

 

The FORBIDDEN Life For Women In Afganistan in 2026.  I was SHOCKED! 

I returned to Afghanistan to see what life is really like in the most gender-segregated society on earth. In this video, I go behind the scenes to uncover the hidden reality for women today—from how they access beauty products with salons closed, to the secret world of weddings where men and women are completely separated.

We explore the devastating impact of women being banned from parks, gyms, and schools for girls over 12. Finally, I uncover a shocking truth about recent British government laws that are effectively supporting the regime's efforts to keep women at home and uneducated. This is a side of Afghanistan the world needs to see.

The Truth About Marriage Every Muslim Must Hear | Jumu'ah Khutbah By Nouman Ali Khan

 

Marriage is one of the greatest institutions established by Allāh, yet many Muslims unknowingly approach it through culture rather than the guidance of the Qurʾān. In this powerful Jumuʿah Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains how Islam redefined marriage as a sacred contract built upon rights, responsibilities, justice, and accountability before Allāh.

This eye-opening reminder challenges many common cultural practices surrounding marriage, family, divorce, mahr, and financial responsibility. It highlights why the strength of the Ummah begins inside the home and why reviving authentic Qurʾānic values is essential for future generations.

Whether you are preparing for marriage, already married, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Islamic family values, this lecture offers timeless guidance rooted in the Qurʾān and Sunnah.

Drawing on examples including paper, the printing press, the fall of Constantinople, and animal rights, he encourages a more critical understanding of Islamic history and its lessons for today.

900 Years Ago, Damascus Treated Mental Illness Better Than We Do | Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre

 

In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we sit inside the historic Al-Nuri Bimaristan in Damascus with Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre to explore one of the most remarkable institutions in Islamic civilisation.

The bimaristan was not simply a hospital. It was a place of healing that understood the human being in their entirety, body, mind, and soul. At a time when much of the world had yet to develop humane approaches to mental healthcare, Islamic civilisation had already built institutions rooted in dignity, compassion, and holistic care.

Together, we explore what made the bimaristan unique, from its patient-centred design and therapeutic environment to the waqf systems that sustained it for generations. We also reflect on what Syria has lost through war, what traditional Islamic approaches to healing can still offer today, and whether these institutions can once again play a role in rebuilding a wounded society.

As Syria looks toward recovery, this conversation asks an urgent question: can true reconstruction happen without healing the people themselves?

Here is Dr Francesca's profile if you wish to find out more about her: 

Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre is a neuroscientist, Islamic psychology practitioner, and author. She’s appeared on our channel before, discussing mental health and Islamic thought — but her connection to Syria runs deeper than that. Through conversion, years of study, and a family she acquired here, Syria sits at the very heart of her Islamic psychology practice. In this episode, she explains how the very place we’re recording in today was once the crown and glory of Muslim mental health.
