Making the Transition
People all over America are converting to Islam every day. Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to witness two shahadas (declarations of faith) within one hour. And before Ramadan two women declared the shahada in our Islamic Fundamentals class, a course for new Muslims and non-Muslims interested in Islam. Men and women, young adults and those in their middle years are accepting Islam as their way of life. People from all walks of life, ethnicities and racial groups are declaring that there is no deity but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is the last messenger.
The Education of Women in India
Despite government attempts at improving education for all its citizens, India still has one of the lowest female literacy rates in Asia. There are 330 million women above the age of 7 in India. Today about 60 percent , or over 200 million, are illiterate.
