News Joint Conferences

Sunday, 16 July 2023

The Head of Women’s Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Observance of hijab and chastity makes women achieve success that is not possible without them.”

ABWA Official Website – On Sunday morning, July 16, 2023, the specialized session “Demands from the West and the Chaste Life of Iranian and Western Muslim Women” was held with the theme “Breeze of Purity” with the participation of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

In this session, Dr. Iran Roknabadi, Head of Women’s Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Chastity and hijab are among the most necessary and challenging religious and social issues.”

“A part of hijab and chastity is interior, which includes chastity, hijab, modesty, decency, and dignity. The other part is the exterior, which crystallizes as covering the whole body. If these two complement each other, and the hijab is fully observed, it is considered power and status for a woman,” she said about the types and observance of hijab.

“Observance of hijab and chastity makes women achieve success that is not possible without them. Amid the Islamic Revolution of Iran, women were pioneers in jihad, and they achieved success in religious jihad. Therefore, the Iranian woman became a source of pride,” emphasized the Head of Women’s Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

“The enemy has spent millions of dollars on anti-cultural activities against veiled Iranian women. The West spends a lot of money to remove the hijab all over the world. But the Iranian woman thwarts all their plans,” she said on the ominous plans of the West against the hijab.

“The woman is the center of the family,” Mrs. Roknabadi said, “If the enemy weakens a woman’s hijab, she will no longer have anything to develop spiritually and constructively with. If a woman becomes weak, her husband and children will also become weak.”

“Hijab is a shared responsibility for men and women. Almighty God knows man and woman better. Therefore, He has made hijab necessary. The enemies of Islam have recognized the center well and are using all means to advance their evil goals,” she added.

Regarding the position of veiled women in society, the Head of Women’s Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “A woman wearing hijab is successful and proud in all fields. Hijab is the base and foundation of development. Hijab is a value, protection, and immunity for women. Women’s veil does not conflict with social participation, and it preserves the family. Therefore, hijab is a sharia, religious and human obligation.”

“To strengthen hijab and chastity, we must propagate, and we should start from our family first. At the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, we are ready to cooperate and think together to strengthen chastity and hijab” she said at the end of her speech on the methods of strengthening the hijab.

It is worth mentioning that the program will be held at the same time as the anniversary of the Goharshad incident, and the week of “Chastity and Hijab” in person and virtually, with the cooperation of the Sisters Branch of Basij of Lawyers Organization, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and Lady Amin Cultural Center.
