Information
There are women in history whom Allah 
chose and preserved. He preserved them so that we’d have role models to aspire to, so that when we feel lost in the darkness, their inspirational lives act as a guide for us.
Many a times we work to achieve their level of emaan, only to fall short because we don’t know them well enough or at all. These are women whose resolve you cannot shake. They’re determined… strengthened by Allah and submit to nothing but Him. Even the greatest tyrant cannot break them nor make them give up their faith. We’re not aware of what they look like, nor is it something we need to know.
But in order to appreciate them for the beautiful characters that they were, we need to learn about them and their relationship with Allah , their Protector and Creator.
It is by the mercy of Allah and through this online conference that from the comfort of your home we will revive the purpose of why Allah preserved these role models for us.
This webinar lasting just under three hours will bring together female speakers (below) from around the globe who will present to you these heroines from the past in an energetic manner, so that you can appreciate their might and worth!
Need convincing
- We are going through a crisis, our young women have no-one to aspire towards in our times and this is due to the lack of inspiration and activity within the Muslim community. In this webinar we aim to bring out women from the past so we can acknowledge and be appreciative of them today. We hope to bring them to our attention and inspirit women to strive to attain their status through emaan and hard work, insha Allah.
- Ornaments of Beauty brings together some of the best female speakers from across the globe under one platform.Take advantage of this and benefit from their knowledge and experience.
- Our webinars are one of a kind; in this webinar we aim to change your perspective on beauty, appreciating it in a balanced manner. Many men and women suffer low self esteem due to how they perceive their beauty, failing to realise that it is their beliefs which are causing them to feel this way. We’ll challenge your thoughts and in turn make you think!
- Be part of the buzz! Join us as we increase the sisterhood, learn to love our heritage and appreciate each other for our true worth.
- And we’ll send you a link to the full recording, organised appropriately, in case you miss anything!
