No act is too small or insignificant
In 1994, a twelve year old boy from Ontario called Craig Kielburger, was shocked by a newspaper story about the murder of a young Pakistani boy, who was killed for crusading against child labor in his native country. Moved by the story, Craig educated himself about child exploitation around the world and made a presentation to his class, asking for volunteers to fight for children's rights.

Washington, DC - Extremists and terrorism have too often monopolised the media's coverage and thus the message coming out of the Muslim world. But what do the vast majority of mainstream Muslims really believe, think, and feel? What are their hopes, fears, and resentments? Why is it that a robust anti-Americanism seems to pervade the Muslim world? Is it the sign of a clash of cultures - do they hate who we are? Or is it what we do? Rather than listening to extremists or simply relying on the opinions of individual pundits, why not give voice to the silenced majority?

Children are our treasure; we must cherish them as such and nurture them with mercy.
As-Salaamu alaikum and Peace be with you! In Islam, children are a great blessing from Allah Almighty, to be cherished, loved, respected and guided to imbibe the values of Islam. The family is a pre-eminent unit of society and both parents and children are commanded to honour one another. A child is considered as such until he/she hits puberty, after which he/she is considered a young adult.

The responsibility of modesty in Islam is both individual and collective
As a Muslim woman, I have never felt oppressed by Islam. I believe that Allah Almighty has created men and women as equal partners in this worldly life, so that both may guide each other towards righteous behaviour that is pleasing to Him. To me, Islam focuses on both equality and equity because the fundamental aspect of being human affords both men and women equal rights, and yet their inherently different abilities afford them complementary and equitable roles and responsibilities.
Fourteen hundred years ago, Islam gave women the right to gainful employment, the right to vote, the right to own property and receive inheritance, the right to learn the Holy scriptures (which many other religions have forbidden to persons based on gender or caste), the right to demand divorce, the right to education, and the right to identity as a professional, a mother, a daughter, a sister, or an educator, amongst any myriad of identities. Most importantly, Islam gave women (and men) the right to choice.
