Islamic history set a precedent in stipulating progressive woman's rights...Muslim women today are inhibited by cultural (not Islamic) barriers from having an active role in society....It is therefore refreshing to see the formation of Big Sister.  Men enjoy comparative advantage over women nonetheless, despite high-barriers to entry this website reminds us that women (Muslim women in particular) are capable of great feat!"

 

Very inspiring and commendable! I found it educative, it is a must read for all Muslim women and girls.

 

As a 45 year old woman, I wish my younger self had the kind of virtual “Big Sister” that Shaista Gohir has given young Muslim women and girls of the 21st century. No matter what we believe, we all need someone who believes in us, and the “Big Sister” website allows all of us to know that we are not alone. There are dreamers out in the world just like us, and we each have a “Big Sister” who believes in us. Dream on!

 

I find the website very useful.  we conduct study sessions among young muslim girls and the website has made research easier for us.  more power!

 

I am so pleased to know about this intiative. I want to thank you for your invitation  and would be happy to join you.

 

Lovely website, and so important.  Thank you so much.

 

I just want to thank you for putting together such a fantastic website! The historical figures and the current ones, and whether one wears a hijab or not!You are truly my sister!

 

 

I just visited your amazing website, mashAllah, you are doing a great job.

 

I would like to congratulate you on the launching of the website and express my support and pride in what you are doing. We Muslim women are in desperate need for such attempts to eradicate the huge body of misconceptions that is associated with us being women and Muslims. Whether living in the UK or in Qatar, women issues and concerns are very similar.

 

“I love your website!  It is really great, and I find the cartoons on the Myth busting section very brilliant and effective.”
