'Women have to realize their importance': American Prof.

hailed the World Forum for Proximity of the Islamic Schools of Thought for taking practical steps in unity area.


American University Professor, Sediqeh Jameela Al Furqaan in an exclusive interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) at the sideline of the 30th International Islamic Unity Conference hailed the World Forum for Proximity of the Islamic Schools of Thought and Islamic Republic of Iran for taking practical steps in the realm of unity and boosting solidarity among Muslims.

“This conference is a great step taken for promoting unity among Muslims and we should
thank Allah that we can have such conferences,” said Al Furqaan stressing, “in these events, we can gather together and exchange ideas for the better man of our own societies.”
 

“We can share ideas how to raise our children, how to improve the society, because as Imam Khomeini said: Women rock the cradle with one hand and the world with the other,” said the U.S born religious thinker.

Beckoned to the prominent role and place of women in the society, Sediqeh Jameela Al Furqaan urged Muslim women to know themselves and their talents better noting, “We are very important and we have to realize this importance.”


“Women are very active in society in here (Iran), and they are able to keep their Hijab, which is so wonderful,” pointed out the religious professor enlarging on
her line as said, “I myself in America, has been harassed badly in educational field as well as work field because of Hijab
and here women are free to have Hijab.”

“There is some point I would like to mention, in a country (Iran) that we can have our Hijab, Iranians can do and act better. There are too many women in street their hijab is not proper,” said the lecturer urging Iranian women to be grateful of what they have.


“We should set an example for the World since the Revolution of Iran woke up Islam, Islam before that was in dormant state, and it (Islamic Revolution of Iran) woke up the World of Islam,” highlighted the grand Ayatollah.

U.S
university professor called for more attention of women to Islamic teachings and instructions adding, “Shortly after the demise of Imam Khomeini (R.A), we became somehow ignorant of our Hijab and its necessity.”


“I look at the revolution of Iran as the onset of Islam,” said Sediqeh Jameela Al Furqaan flashback to the Muhammad Prophet’s (PBUH) times stressing, “when Islam Prophet (PBUH) came, he brought us Islam, and he delegate the rule of Allah, He told us what to do and he said emphatically, who was after him, was Imam Ali (OBUH), and then after his demise, what happened? The right was given to Imam Ali (PBUH)? “
 
She continued and pointed to the present time and situation in which people
turn a blind eye to religious principles and values stressing, “It is the same, it is like the history repeated itself and after the late Imam Khomeini, some people do not follow Islamic teachings as well as before.”


Beckoned to the fact that the same story happened in Islamic Revolution of Iran, the religious thinker underlined, “Supreme Leader was elected by those who was behind and supported the late  Imam Khomeini (R.A).”
 
Calling all Iranian people to abide by Supreme Leader’s commands and advices, American University Professor  underlined, “We are truly lucky to have our leader and we should thank god for such blessing.”
