Today in Saudi, women are either at the mercy of their husbands or at the mercy of judges who tend to side with the husbands.

Early Islam was a time of great creativity. Scholars excelled in sciences and literature. Our religion should not be a shield behind which we hide from the world but a driving force that inspires us to innovate and contribute to our surroundings. This is the true spirit of Islam.
