Contemplation about the Sunna Quote Some quotes from the Sunna remain far from being self-explanatory. One of the quotes linked to the Sunna is the one that goes, “A life lived totally in accord with the Moral, becomes a window into moral knowledge.” In context to the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad, the quote implies that when we leave in accordance with the principles of the Islamic laws, we are enshrined to get a better understanding of what life entails. In my opinion, I think that the quote advocates that we should live in compliance with the principles that are enshrined in the Islamic laws so that it could act as the spiritual entrance through which people can get to know the ways of life. By living in such a manner, we are always presented with the opportunities, fresh starts, beginnings, protection, views, and perceptions to be morally informed of life.

Women rights in Lebanon Introduction Lebanon is a leading country in the Middle East with diverse religions comprising of mainly Muslims and Christians. The personal status laws applicable in Lebanon are a significant source of discrimination against women (Salameh, 2013). As such, this has deprived women of their basic fundamental rights. Lebanon was among the first countries in the Arab region to provide equal rights for women to participate in politics. Lebanon ratified the “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women” to ensure that all human rights for women are guaranteed. However, all 15 religious-based personal status laws do not address issues that lead to women discrimination (El-Helou, 2015). In particular, the personal status laws do not discuss divorce, rights to hold properties, and custody of children. Interpretation of law and rulings is a role of religious courts, which are not regulated by the government, and this has resulted in gross violation of human rights (World Bank, 2015). This paper discusses the legal framework, gender inequality, and personal status laws that discriminate against women’s rights and…
