Doha, Qatar: Al-Mujadilah Center & Mosque for Women, a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), is offering new and returning programs, including sessions exploring various aspects of the Hadith this Spring Cycle 2.

“In our daily lives, Muslims derive great insight, inspiration, and guidance from the Hadith. At Al-Mujadilah, our study of Prophetic Hadith reveals many lessons, including the contributions of early Muslim women to discussions surrounding worship, jurisprudence, and ethics,” said Dr. Sohaira Siddiqui, Executive Director of Al-Mujadilah.

Dr. Sohaira explained that there are numerous instances within Hadith texts where women engage in dialogue with Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him), inquiring and sparking thoughtful questions for the betterment of Muslim society.

“There is much to be learned from these interactions; how they were conducted and what conclusions were reached,” she said. “The etiquette, or Adab, of these exchanges is a critical aspect of study and informs our exploration of these important texts.”

Starting on May 3, the ‘Introduction to Hadith Sciences’ program will be led by Dr. Mutaz Al-Khatib, Associate Professor of Methodology and Ethics at the Research Centre for Islamic Legislation and Ethics at QF’s Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU). The two-part program will simplify the complexities of Hadith sciences, and delve into topics like the collection, preservation, authentication, and interpretation of Hadith.
