A lot of Muslims discount the ability of the female as a leader, and that is a shame. The woman who taught me about Islam is Somali, and her name is Fatouma. I was raised in Catholic household, like most Haitians, and had questions about the nature of God, and the Messengers He used to communicate with mankind. Fatouma answered my questions, and I learned about Islam from her. Today, I embrace the faith under the name Suleiman. My first name is Salomon, named after the prophet and former king. What do you think of a Muslim sister's ability to spread the faith in her unique way ?

I think women are a major part of Islam and can spread dawah, they call Aisha mother of the believers

Hello Saloman *Cough cough...multinicker*, nice to meet you.

"women spreading dawah" has a slightly different meaning on these ends. Alot of assumtion would be thrown around..

anyway wlc to Somalinet.. if you are new that is

I am new, brother, and thank you. When someone has faith in God and the talent for speaking the Word, the person should do it regardless of gender. Many women are more religious and outspoken than certain men.

Islam does not hinder a woman's ability learn and and teach knowledge, clearly you're a proof of this and should further reaffirm your confidence in the equal ability of both men and women to transmit knowledge, the only competition between men and women in matters faith should be toward pleasing Allah,

Allah and his messenger know best!
