For centuries, the contribution of women in Muslim societies especially with regard to their participation in the field of religion was almost zero. It was aapa (Dr Farida Khanam) who played an important role in my life. She unveiled the true status of women in Islam. Trained and guided by her father Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, aapa has been playing her part in communicating the message of Islam.

Maulana has written books on this topic such as Woman in Islamic Shariah and Woman between Islam and Western Society. After reading these books, I have come to realize the role women can play in family and society. Countless women have now realized their role in the sphere of religion. They are now associating themselves with the CPS mission.
