Women on the Straight Path

This weekly class which is uploaded as a podcast episode explores a wide range of themes, topics, texts and traditions which demonstrate the exemplary lives and practices of Muslim women on the “Straight Path” throughout history and in contemporary times. Our aim is to emulate the righteous women who have come before us in order to navigate the turbulent reality of the modern world, by seeking guidance and inspiration from their religious, scholarly, social, cultural and educational stories and legacies as Muslim women.
