EG-EK-12 Education & Growth Education & Knowledge CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Female‑scholar events hosted

Evaluates the proactive, safe, and equitable hosting of female scholars to uphold Islamic principles of ʿAdl (justice) and Musāwāt (equality). Rooted in the rich legacy of Muhaddithat (female scholars), this advances the Maqasid (higher objectives) of preserving comprehensive religious literacy. This practice enriches community Tarbiyah (development) by providing diverse role models, ensuring women's voices are integral to the collective pursuit of ʿIlm (knowledge), and operationalizing high standards of governance, safeguarding, and speaker care.
