Muslim women have made significant contributions to our society. Unfortunately, their presence and contributions are often buried or marginalised within narratives that subsume women under men. Consequently, their prominence in various fields of achievement have been forgotten.

This series aims to rediscover and reconnect the various roles and contributions of Muslim women that have shaped the our civilisation from past to present times. The series also hopes to rekindle the imagination with regards to how women can continue to play a significant role in various aspects of religious, social, economic and political spheres of society.

The discussion will focus on Rabiah al-Adawiyyah and Nazira Zeineddin.
