A‘udhu billahi mina sahaytan ar-Rajeem, bismillahi arRahman ar-Raheem.

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al-Aliyyi al-‘Atheem.

Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina Muhamadin ‘abdika wa rasulika an-Nabi al-Ummi

wa ‘ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.

As-Salamu ‘alaykum everybody, and welcome.

The purpose of this talk is to look at the needs and requirements of the modern-day Muslim young woman, and how we can help her. It is clear that we are in a rapidly changing age and there is a need to readdress and confront what the young woman needs in this new age we live in.
