Muslim girls must develop in education and should enter in all fields of life but with Islamic identity and values. These views were expressed by GIO state president of Gujarat. She was speaking in the state conference of GIO Rajasthan. She insisted that torch bearer of knowledge can only bring change in society.
Engineer Muhammad Saleem, state president Jamaat-E-Islami Hind and patron of GIO Rajasthan, said addressing the girls that Islamic Hijab (veil) is not a barrier in the way of women’s progress; instead it is helpful and provides security to their self respect and dignity. He advised the Muslim girls to be ideal Muslims by virtue of best etiquettes and character, so that real image of Islam may come forth. He was of the opinion that the very purpose of Islam is to put to an end, injustice and ensure rights to people, hence Muslim girls should raise voice against any kind of oppression, injustice or exploitation they come across, let it be in their houses or inside the campus.
This program was part of 15 day long campaign organized by Women wing of JIH with theme “uphold the dignity of women”. JIH state president also spoke to girls in the closing program. He emphasized on importance of veil and its significance in women growth.
Various other GIO orators spoke on this occasion. A memorandum was also passed at the end of the program .
RESOLUTIONS
Following resolutions were passed on this occasion:-
• This conference of the Girls Islamic Organisation of Rajasthan welcomes the recently passed, though very late, the ‘Right To Compulsory Education Bill’. This house demands from the government that the benefit of the act should reach to the downtrodden sections of the society and minorities, especially girls.
• This house expresses deep concern over the ever increasing nudity in the society, especially obscene demonstration of the female body in the Films and advertisements. This house demands from the government to immediately ban the films and ads that promote nudity. Beauty contests, in which the dignity of woman is shattered, also be banned.
• In some countries of the world including ours, Islamic Hijab is uselessly being made a topic of debate. This house unanimously resolves that Islamic Hijab is not a hindrance in the way of our progress, instead it safeguards the women and adds to her dignity. This house appeals to one and all to try to understand the Hijab and its benefits and not to target the sisters who want to live in modesty.
• This house demands from the government to grant reservation to the Muslims in proportion to their population in education, army, police and other departments, as until every citizen of the country doesn’t get justice, establishment of peace is not possible and our country cannot progress.
• We believe that the Women’s Reservation Bill, recently presented in the parliament is based upon injustice, as the women of weaker and backward sections and Muslim women have been neglected in it. This house demands from the government to reconsider this bill and a quota be allotted to the women of backward sections and Muslims.
• This house condemns the increasing incidents of female foeticide in the country and demands from the elders of the society and the government not to deprive the daughters of their right to live and to put a check on the heinous crime like female foeticide.
