In this lecture, Khalid Yasin points out the common issues Muslim women have in their daily lives as mothers, wives and women in the community. He gives advice on how to deal with such issues.
Why the Three Roles Are Treated Together
Because they compete. A woman is not a mother in one part of the week and a member of her community in another — she carries all three at once, and the practical difficulty is almost never any one of them in isolation. It is what to do when the demands conflict.
A lecture that treats them separately misses that entirely. This one does not.
Who It Is For
Muslim women at any stage, and men who want to understand what they are actually asking of the women in their households. Sisters' halaqahs will find it generates real discussion.
About Shaykh Khalid Yasin
Shaykh Khalid Yasin, a former Christian, is the Executive Director of the Islamic Teaching Institute (ITI), an organization dedicated to the work of da'wah. He studied Arabic in Madinah and in Cairo, and had many mentors and teachers who tutored him in Fiqh us-Sunnah, Fiqh us-Seerah and Islamic history, as well as in the memorization and recitation of the Quran.

He has spent most of his working life doing exactly that, and he is among the most widely heard English-speaking speakers in the field.
