وهذه الرسالة منقوله من درب الانتفاضة كتبها د. محمد القاضى فى نفس الصدد
Women Rights Activists,
The 'Progressive Mosque' group has started few months ago in
Philadelphia as a secret underground movement of rebilious moslem women who
were seeking a safe place where everyone, especially women, can worship
with dignity. They advocate for an equal role for women and men in the
house of worship. They made history when for the first time a woman led
the prayer as Imama, a word never found in the Arabic/Islamic
dictionary before and we had to coin it during one prayer!.
Women and men prayed together next to each other on one solid line, and
sat after prayer in one Halaqa (small circle) to interprete and discuss
Koran in a contemporary progressive way, the same as it was originally
revealed to Prophet Mohamed 1500 years ago in Mecca. In brief, the
taboo around women leadership in Islam has been broken by this brave group
of womenb and men!
Now, the struggle continue... the moslem women are no more holding it
to themselves. Another progressive group is making history (see message
below) when a Caribean mosque is letting a woman to give the Eid Khutba
(sermon).
I'm glad that I lived until I saw this historical moment for 1.2
billions of the world population whos religion has been stolen over centuries
by moslem fanatics, the equivelent of the evagilican political right
groups..
Take a moment and stop by room 31 tomorrow at 6:30pm (in the AFSC main
building) in Center City Philadelphia to meet with the Progressive
Masjid group after their evening prayer.
Mohamed Ibrahim Elgadi
