AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Sunday, October 20, 2024, at the invitation of the director of Jamiat Al-Zahra (a.s.) Seminary in Baltistan, Pakistan, Dr. Roknabadi, the advisor to the Deputy for International Affairs, and the head of the Department for Women and Family of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, gave an online speech at a two-day conference held for synergy and short-term training courses for the seminary graduates.
In her one-hour speech, while expressing her appreciation to Dr. Jafri for holding the conference, Mrs. Roknabadi said, “In different societies, the issue of women has always been controversial. Islam has a unique view on the role of women in society, directly and indirectly. The indirect role of women in society is through raising children and motivating and supporting their husbands and children in social activities and participation.”
The Adviser to the Deputy for International Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly also mentioned the many roles of women in today’s society. “A woman can fulfill numerous roles with great effectiveness. In her direct role, as a mother, she plays a crucial part in the divine act of creation, actively participating in the continuation of humanity and the human race. It is essential to acknowledge that this remarkable power has been granted exclusively to women by God. Women are the creators, educators, and uplifters of the human society,” she said.
Further in the webinar, stating that global arrogance is fully aware of the role and influence of women, Mrs. Roknabadi said, “Global arrogance has also realized that the position and performance of women is highly influential and sensitive. Therefore, it abuses the external and internal abilities of women, which men do not benefit from. Through the research global arrogance has realized that it can dominate the whole world through women in both positive and negative dimensions.”
Referring to the great role of women, the Advisor to the Deputy for International Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly said, “Women have great influence. Just as a woman who follows Satan can destroy and annihilate society, a woman who follows the divine path can build society. Therefore, in contemporary society, the social participation of Muslim, faithful, and committed women is essential.”
In the following, regarding the sense of inferiority in today’s generation due to the lack of comprehensive knowledge of religion and religious issues, she said, “This is despite the fact that religion is God’s perfect plan which is the best one, and a young person can reach the highest positions by knowing about and acting upon it. But sometimes, due to the lack of comprehensive knowledge, the young generation feels inferior and gets frustrated. Therefore, the role of committed women in conveying religious concepts and authentic Islam to the young generation is very prominent and constructive.”
At the end of her speech, Mrs. Rokanabadi, to counter the invasion of the domination system, proposed a destructive approach to disgrace the West and Western ideology, a warning and punitive approach to wake up the indifferent officials and people who chose silence, and a soothing and defensive approach to strengthen the morale of activists and defenders of Islamic and religious values.
