AL-QURAN In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Their flesh reacheth not Allah nor their blood: but it is Piety from you that reacheth Him. Thus He hath subjected them to you, that ye may magnify Allah for He hath guided you; and bear thou glad tidings unto the welldoers.

(Surah Al HAJJ - 37)

Saying of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW)Hazrat Ali (AS) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whoever has the provisions and the means to convey him to Allah’s House and he does not perform Hajj, then it does not matter if he dies as a Jew or a Christian’’.

(Jami Tirmizi Shareef)

“I have always maintained that no nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.”
