This Khutbah was delivered at the Islamic Center at NYU (www.icnyu.org) on Friday, March 4th, 2011 by Imam Khaild Latif.

Many of the discussions that exist around gender in the Muslim community, both in the United States and abroad, have not fruitful. In this khutbah, Imam Latif speaks about the need for Muslim women to empower themselves through knowledge and also discusses how Muslims on a whole have failed to treat their women with the dignity and respect that they deserve.

  • Mash'Allah, this is incredible. This khutbah should be heard everywhere, in every masjid, not only in the US but world-wide. For it is our women who teach the next generation and who make it possible for us to be who we are. They are as clothes to us and we should be the same to them.

  • Brother Khalid, some men in our community are plainly ABUSIVE and stuck on CONTROL AND POWER ISSUES OVER WOMEN, it is NOT a theological/religious issue. Simply stating to women, "if you go out and learn it for yourself, no one can tell you otherwise" is a gross oversimplification of our community. Please refer women to social services and possibly the police if they tell you they are being abused.

  • A lot comes from the cultural baggage the middle eastern people bring to America. A lot racism, and cultural crap they bring.

  • @aybaybay8423 Somethings in Islam is harder for others. Sometimes people are simply suffering from a lack of courage, not knowledge. Try to encourage each other, show you're strength and lead by example
