IIWA (Iqra International Women’s Alliance) was launched with a view to give exposure to educated Muslim women to express their views and be a part of committed Muslim society. As we all know half of the Muslim populace is women who have tremendous potential to work for Ummah in social religious and educational fields. These potentials need management and support by responsible people to break the shackles of fiscal rivalry.
There are many misconceptions and stereotypes in the society to demean Islam with particular allusion to women. IIWA provides a platform for Muslim women to come forward, express their views and work positively for the Ummah strictly within the framework of Islamic shariah.
IIWA is a platform where Muslim women could join hands with sisters of other belief in carrying out social air force so that we send a positive message to others, which alone would help us in D’awah work. IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah. .

Remove Domestic Violence
As per Inhabitant Family and Shape Survey in India, both Muslims and Hindu women are subjected to domestic violence. Though this violence is 20% less in Muslims as compared to Hindu families yet it is topic of fantastic concern for any Muslim particularly when Rasulullah (S) questioned in his last sermon:
“O people! Dread Allah concerning women. Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah. Verily you have certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you”.
IIWA has plans to make a cell to sort out issues concerning women who are subjected to domestic violence. IIWA will first try to ensure that such acts do not recur but in extreme cases IIWA would help wronged women morally, legally and financially.
IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah.
IIWA will also cooperate and coordinate with other groups/ organizations who are doing this work. But, IIWA would mainly concentrate on problems of Muslim women under the laws of Shariah
IIWA would also involve Muslim advocates to ensure justice for Muslim women particularly when there is by now an act in Indian law “Protection of Women from Domestic Violence” passed on 26th October 2006. .

Removing Stereotype & Misconceptions
There are number of misconceptions about Islam and Muslims particularly about Muslim women in the society. IIWA plans to deal with each one of them and present the right picture logically and in a positive manner. Hijab, Split, alimony etc., are some such issues, which are grossly misrepresented by the media with a view to make Islamic law anti-women. IIWA will try to make others know that a Muslim woman covers her head but not her wisdom. .
Remove Cultural Imbalance
Muslims in India and many other countries live in a pluralistic society. It’s obvious that some cultural habits and rituals have been adopted by Muslims particularly women. Most of us are not even aware of such rituals, which at times are found un-Islamic. It is therefore necessary that Muslims should shun such incorrect practices and scrupulously adhere to the teachings of Islam IIWA will help identify such cultural imbalances from Muslim society and would educate women to adopt the right way.
In this regard IIWA is working towards reforming Muslim culture and wants to bring about changes for both men and women. IIWA will help Muslim women to adopt Islamic practices and clothes and face the challenges of the modern time by balancing worldly affairs with spiritual life. .
Generate Communal Harmony
When prophet Mohamed (S) established first Muslim state in Madinah, he announced the rights of non-Muslims too. He announced that every non-Muslim who lives peacefully his life, wealth, places of worship would remain fully protected by the state. They also mutual copy opportunities and reap benefits in Islamic state.
There were strict instructions to the conquering Muslim army not to hurt them or defame their religious heads or touch their places of worship. In case of complaints from non-Muslims against the Muslims, investigations were carried our promptly and justice delivered without any delay.
Qur’an says:
Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from Error”. (2:256))
“We know the best what they (non-believers) say; and you are not one to compel them by force. So admonish with the Qur’an such as dread My warnings” (50:45)
Ehsaas
Ehsaas… is an endeavour of the IIWA through which it intends to proffer a helping hand to the destitute women & children in India who year for an adequate and affordable means of training and qualified enhancement. The project is towards establishing an institute that would place forward courses on qualified enhancement in Fashion Designing, Textile Designing, Interior Designing, Cooking, Beauty Culture, Computer Skills, Journalism, Photography, Handicrafts, Candle Making and Soft Toys Making etc.
The project entails building a base in Northern India in Delhi’s suburb where the first institution will be established. The plot has a comprehensive approach wherein the base will be an all encompassing set up with a training base including practical, theory & computer aided training methodology; A manufacturing unit where orders bagged by trained professionals will be manufactured; A warehouse where logistics will be maintained; An office where corporate relations and administrative procedures will be carried out and a showroom for visiting guests. It will be a multistory building in a 1000 sq. yards area with an exclusive floor attributed to each division.
The institute will place forward training programs through trained professionals and will be subject to a nominal course fees. But, the deserving and needy candidates will be considered in given circumstances.
Through this institute IIWA intends to spread Islamic Education also among the women who are the inceptors of generations and who if educated can at least pay off an inheritance of education to the progeny. This but, will be achieved by the inclusion of Islamic Education as a compulsory subject for the Muslim Women & Children.
IIWA believes in a truly peaceful society in which people cooperate and coordinate with each other irrespective of their religion and belief. In order to enhance communal harmony what is required understands the teachings of all religion for which inter belief dialogues are necessary. Let us present to the world what Islam teachers and what prophet Mohamed (S) professed. At the same time let us hear what other religions stand for and what they teach the humankind.
IIWA is arranging inter belief dialogues between various communities for the sole purpose of making mutual understanding and trust between them and to remove stereotypes and misunderstandings produced deliberately against a particular religion and belief. .
