I cannot but express thanks and deep gratitude to the Um Derman Islamic University which made this gathering possible. To me, the invitation to this honorable event at the start of its culture season is a tribute to the Arab woman. While lecturing on “The Islamic Conception of Women’s Liberation”, I genuinely hope to add something new to the outcry of earlier advocates of women’s liberation. They were pioneers in calling for an awakening in the darkest of times, for our Arab East to free its daughters from the bondage of ignorance and exclusion so that they can set out to build a free life for this very East, and provide it with human ammunition.
