Nepal Muslim Women Welfare Society (NMWWS)



NMWWS is a non-partisan, non profitable and non- discriminatory organization serving the marginalized, disadvantaged and resource poor community particularly, to Muslim women of Nepal. The role of these non-government organizations has been witnessed to be pivotal in sensitizing and creating awareness among all sections of the society. Guided and motivated by this very phenomenon, a pragmatic team of social workers initiated the creation of this organization in order to complement and supplement the national plans, policies and priorities of the Government of Nepal.

NMWWS has been serving the Muslim community by mobilizing the unused and underutilized resources (human and natural resources) available within the society. It has also undertaken significant activities that have enhanced the production and productivity of the economy as a whole. In the mean time, it has helped the society in creating awareness through advocacy, and strengthening the leadership capability of the hitherto excluded and disadvantaged groups. Socio-economic Development and the empowerment of the Muslim women through their own participation have been the significant achievement of the organization so far.

With the view to achieving holistic development of community and especially to improving living of those targeted groups, NMWWS has been implementing multidisciplinary type of projects in partnership with donors and supporting organizations since its establishment. It has gained considerable understanding on root cause of the social issues and challenges, and knowledge and experience from its past experiences.

The area of expertise of NMWWS are advocacy, human rights, democracy, women's political participation, violence against women, non formal education for adult women, skill training for income generation and community development activities.

The Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) Leadership Skills: A Quranic and Sunnah Perspective

I. Introduction The leadership of Prophet Muhammad ( ﷺ ) stands as a pivotal subject within Islamic studies, revered by Muslims globally as the epitome of exemplary conduct and governance. Chosen by Allah as the final prophet and messenger, his life serves as a comprehensive model for humanity in all facets, including leadership across various domains. His leadership was instrumental in the profound social and moral transformation of the Arabian society during his time, ushering in an era marked by justice, equality, and spiritual enlightenment. The Holy Quran itself explicitly identifies Prophet Muhammad ( ﷺ ) as an "excellent pattern of behavior" ( اُسوہِ حسنہ ) for believers to emulate, as highlighted in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:21). This Quranic declaration underscores that his leadership is not merely a historical account but a divinely ordained standard for Muslims in their personal and collective lives, emphasizing its significance as a religious obligation and a path towar...

The Islamic Principles of Justice and Fairness: An In-Depth Analysis of "عدل" and "انصاف"

  1. The Foundational Principles of " عدل " and " انصاف " in Islam The concepts of " عدل " (Adl) and " انصاف " (Insaf) hold a paramount position in Islam. The Arabic term " عدل ," derived from the root 'a-d-l, carries a rich array of meanings that extend beyond a simple translation of justice. It signifies a state of equality, justness, straightness, and temperance, implying an inherent balance and equilibrium. This fundamental idea of balance permeates the Islamic understanding of justice, suggesting that any deviation from it constitutes a form of imbalance or transgression. Complementing " عدل " is the term " انصاف ," which embodies the notions of fairness, equity, and the act of giving to each individual what is rightfully theirs. While often used synonymously with " عدل " and another related term, " قسط " (Qist), " انصاف " often emphasizes the practical manifestation of justice...

The Brother Who Wasn't: How a Missing Word in Surah Shu'ara Reveals Islam's View of True Brotherhood

In Surah Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets), Allah takes us on a profound journey through the stories of the prophets. With remarkable consistency, He introduces each messenger with a phrase that resonates with intimacy and shared identity: "When their brother Nuh (AS) said to them..."  (26:106) "When their brother Hud (AS) said to them..."  (26:124) "When their brother Salih (AS) said to them..."  (26:142) "When their brother Lut (AS) said to them..."  (26:161) But then we reach Prophet Shu'ayb (AS): "When Shu'ayb (AS) said to them..."  (26:177) The words "their brother" are strikingly absent.  This omission isn't accidental – it's divine precision speaking volumes about the nature of true brotherhood. Why does Shu'ayb alone lose this title here, when elsewhere Allah  does  call him " their  brother Shu'ayb" (7:85)? The answer lies in a single, loaded word:  Aykah . The Two Names That Changed E...
