The Muslim World Rania Award 2024

The meaning of “Rania” is derived from the word “Queen”. There is no doubt that women carry big responsibilities in their role of contributing to all aspects of human life. There has not been any known divine or man-made law that is not giving women their due rights in the society. Failing to clearly understand their role leads to disparage women’s value and hence deny those rights. All stages of history are full of examples for women who excelled event better than their men counterparts.

Islam, for instance, elevates the status of women to be completely equal to men, and it rejects any act of downgrading their physical and/or intellectual capabilities. However, many people accuse the Islamic teachings of being unfair towards women. This accusation comes in the first place as a result of misinterpreting the verses of the Holy Quran, without looking at the authentic narrations and explanations. What support the critic of those people are perhaps some cultural practices which have no roots in any of the Quranic verses.

In recognition of the women’s efforts and to appreciate their feat in all sections of our life, the OIC International Business Centre has the pleasure to announce the presentation of “The Muslim World Rania Award” to selected distinguished women from around the Muslim world. The award presentation for the thirdtime, will take place at a special ceremony during the undertaking of the annual event “The Muslim World Women's Summit 2024”
