Moroccan mosques will host a unified sermon this Friday, focusing on the issue of violence against women, as part of the ongoing “22nd National Campaign to Stop Violence Against Women and Girls,” which runs until December 10th.
The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs has made a sermon available on its official website for imams to use, with the message: “The Command to Do Good to Women, Honor Them, and Prohibit Any Abuse or Violence Against Them.” The sermon, set for Friday, December 5, 2024, draws on verses from the Qur’an and authentic Hadiths to address the relationship between men and women in the family and society.
According to the draft sermon, “Violence has nothing to do with Islam; it is rejected in all forms. The aggression of a man against a woman is as unacceptable as the aggression of a woman against a man. Both are prohibited by Sharia, reason, and justice.” The sermon also condemns “digital violence,” which has become more widespread, especially among youth. This includes sending inappropriate messages or images via phone, particularly targeting women.
The sermon further emphasizes that “Islam aims to refine the soul and control actions, and it is wrong to attribute human errors to Islam itself. The issue lies in human behavior, not in the religion.” It states that any form of abuse, whether physical or verbal, is strictly prohibited in Islam.
