Ladies of Light: The Unplugged Sessions

CARDIFF

Session 3 : Preservers of the Deen: Women and the Quran: We delve into looking at the history of women and their relationship with the Quran. The female reciters, the females who were part of preserving the Quran, the women who taught the Quran and the women who lived by the Quran. Women such as Lady Fiddah, Umm Waraqah and Hafsah bint Umar.

How can we as women better our relationship with the word of God, how can we use it to create a longing relationship with the Divine. What are the messages that the Quran has for women today?
