The subsidised course fee is $20.

    About the course Women in Islam

    Islamic societies and the media have often portrayed a negative image of Muslim women, leaving many with misconceptions, perceptions, and questions about women’s status in Islam. This course will explore basic beliefs and principles in regards to Muslim women’s rights, duties, and responsibilities in Islam. By looking at Qur’anic verses, and Hadith (a traditional account of things said or done by Muhammad or his companions) as well as various texts and videos, this course will help you gain a deeper understanding into women’s status in Islam.

    Zoom information

    Please ensure you have zoom set up on your device before the course starts. Check that your camera and microphone are working.

    Zoom etiquette

    Do’s

    • Make sure your full name shows up appropriately.
    • Use your camera so your teacher can see you - this is a course, not a webinar.
    • Mute until you are required to talk. Use the Zoom functions to communicate if needed (chat, raise your hand, answer yes/no, etc.).
    • Close other windows on your computer that might be using bandwidth.
    • Be on time to class. 

    Don’ts

    • Share the zoom access information for your class with others, or enter under a different name. Your teacher needs to complete an attendance register for funding purposes.
    • Take screenshots, cell phone pictures, or otherwise record the meeting, your classmates, or your instructor.
    • Change your name or change your zoom background during the meeting.

    From the tutor, Reem Ayuub:

    As a young Muslim woman, who has experienced life in the Middle East and the West, I have come to make sense of both worlds. Islam, being the fastest growing religion yet the most misrepresented, has created much interest in the past decade.

    Expected learning outcomes

    • Identify perceptions and/or misconceptions about women in Islam
    • Gain an understanding of basic Islamic beliefs
    • Recognise the position of women in pre-Islamic Arab society
    • Explain the importance of the relationship between a Muslim woman and her creator and the reasons/purpose of wearing veils
    • Discuss the rights of women in Muslim society and the role (and value) of a woman as a daughter, wife and mother.
