Across the world today, there is growing confusion and debate around the concept of gender. What was once understood is now the subject of intense debate, with changing ideas about what it means to be a man or a woman.

In this important and timely lecture, the prevailing ideas about gender in contemporary society , how these ideas have evolved, and the ways they influence our worldview, behaviour and sense of identity will be explored.

We will then examine these questions through two important lenses: science and Islam . What does science tell us about sex and gender? And how does Islam understand the nature, purpose and identity of men and women?

Whether you are a young woman navigating today's world, a parent seeking to understand the challenges facing your children, or simply someone wanting greater clarity on this important issue, this talk offers valuable knowledge and insight into a subject that affects us all — often in ways we may not even realise.

Join us Sunday 30th August at Masjid Khadijah for this rare and thought-provoking lecture by sister Dr Toni Jameelah Pikos-Sallie, insha Allah.
