Hawzah News Agency –Umm al-Baneen (peace be upon her) Women’s Electronic University, affiliated with the Department of Intellectual and Cultural Affairs at the al-Abbas’s Holy Shrine, organized an intellectual symposium entitled: (Az-Zahra - peace be upon her - our example, approach and belief), attended by a group of academic and seminary women personalities.
The symposium presented by Sayed To'mah al-Jaberi was hosted by the Sheikh Al-Ansari Hall in the Al-Murtada (peace be upon him) Intellectual Center of the Holy Shrine in the Al-Najaf Governorate. It is part of a series of seminars that the university has been holding in order to develop the intellectual and cultural side in the women community, and to strengthen the links between the Umm al-Baneen (peace be upon her) electronic university, academic universities and the women Hawza.
University President Sheikh Hussein al-Turabi told Al-Kafeel Network: “Sayed al-Jaberi addressed in his symposium that the Muslim woman should derive her strength from Lady az-Zahra (peace be upon her), and be an element of strength and effective in society, as she is nowadays targeted by intellectual wars.”
He added, "The lecturer also clarified the role of the mother in raising and nurturing generations, as she is the first school with which the child comes into contact, indicating that assigning a woman is an honor for her at an early age, and it is the speech of God Almighty (that honors and addresses her), and he also spoke about the prominent role of some believing women over the years, and how they were an example and role model, the first of them being the pure Lady Fatima az-Zahra (may God’s peace be upon her).
Al-Turabi continued, "Sayed al-Jaberi concluded the symposium on how to tame a person's self and keep it away from disobedience and sins, and the practical ways for that in detail, stopping at some important points that make our believing girls in our time an example to society through their academic and social life."
The symposium witnessed an interaction by the attendees, who enriched the general atmosphere with many valuable interventions.
