In a step towards enhancing the role of Iraqi women, Dr. Abdul Hadi Mahmoud Al-Zaidi, a teacher at the College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Baghdad, presented valuable research on “The Status of Muslim Women and Confronting Moral Corruption”, as part of the scientific conference “Towards a National Strategy for the Development of Iraqi Women”. The conference was organized under the patronage of His Excellency the Prime Minister, Eng. Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani, with the participation of a group of experts and specialists in women’s affairs.
The study confirmed that Islamic systems have proven their success in building great civilizations, as they guaranteed women broad rights, including the right to education, trade and travel, within the controls of Islamic law. The study also pointed out that the imbalance in educational curricula and the lack of focus on proper education are among the most important reasons for the spread of moral corruption.
This research comes at a time when Muslim societies are witnessing significant challenges in the field of ethics and values and provides a comprehensive Islamic vision of the role of women in society, and highlights the importance of returning to the teachings of Islam in facing contemporary challenges.
Al-Zaidi called for the need to pay attention to Islamic education in schools and universities, and to review school curricula to make them more compatible with Islamic values and stressed the importance of activating the role of the family and religious institutions in promoting moral values among members of society.
Other opinions The study sparked wide controversy in academic and social circles, where many experts praised the researcher’s efforts and considered that his study represents a qualitative addition to knowledge in this field. This study confirms that Islam is a religion that values women and gives them their rights, and that applying its teachings is the best way to build strong and cohesive societies.
