Are Women Oppressed or Empowered in Islam? | Quran & Women's Rights | Fahmida Munni | The Other Side

In Episode 50 of The Other Side with Esha Rushdi, we sit down with Fahamida Mounny, an architect who shares her deeply personal journey from agnosticism to reconnecting with Islam through knowledge, reflection, and a sincere search for truth. Born into a Muslim family, Fahamida eventually found herself questioning religion, faith, and the purpose of life. Rather than accepting beliefs blindly, she began researching, asking difficult questions, and studying the Quran for herself. What she discovered challenged many of the misconceptions she previously held about Islam. In this powerful conversation, we explore topics such as the Quran, Salah (Namaz), Hijab, women's rights in Islam, Islamic teachings, spirituality, faith, modesty, Islamic misconceptions, and the difference between culture and authentic Islamic values. Whether you are a practicing Muslim, someone exploring Islam, or simply interested in understanding religion from a thoughtful perspective, this episode offers valuable insights into faith, doubt, knowledge, and personal transformation. 📌 Topics Discussed: ✔️ Agnosticism and loss of faith ✔️ Returning to Islam through knowledge ✔️ Reading and understanding the Quran ✔️ Why Salah (Namaz) is important ✔️ The purpose and wisdom behind Hijab ✔️ Women's rights in Islam ✔️ Common misconceptions about Islam ✔️ Islam vs cultural practices ✔️ Spirituality and connection with Allah ✔️ Seeking truth through research and reflection ✔️ Islamic values in modern society ✔️ Personal growth through faith ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction 02:15 – Meet Fahamida Mounny 07:40 – Growing Up in a Muslim Family 14:25 – Why She Became Agnostic 22:10 – Searching for Answers 30:15 – Reading the Quran Independently 39:20 – Understanding Islam Beyond Stereotypes 47:35 – Women's Rights in Islam 56:40 – Hijab: Purpose, Choice & Misconceptions 01:03:50 – Importance of Salah (Namaz) 01:08:30 – Culture vs Islam 01:12:00 – Lessons from Her Journey 01:14:00 – Closing Thoughts 🎙 Host: Esha Rushdi 📺 Show: The Other Side 🎧 Episode 50 #EshaRushdi #TheOtherSide #FahamidaMounny #Islam #Quran #HolyQuran #QuranStudy #IslamicPodcast #IslamicDiscussion #IslamicKnowledge #Salah #Namaz #PrayerInIslam #Hijab #WomenInIslam #MuslimWomen #IslamicEducation #IslamicTalkShow #Agnostic #AgnosticToIslam #FaithJourney #SpiritualJourney #Allah #Muslim #IslamExplained #IslamicClarification #BanglaPodcast #BangladeshPodcast #IslamicContent #Deen #IslamicReminder #IslamicLifestyle SEO Keywords: Islam, Quran, Holy Quran, Quran Bangla, Quran study, Quran explanation, understanding Quran, Islam explained, Islamic podcast, Islamic discussion, Islamic knowledge, Islamic education, Islamic talk show, Salah, Namaz, prayer in Islam, importance of Salah, importance of Namaz, Islamic lifestyle, Islamic values, Muslim podcast, Allah, faith in Allah, Islamic spirituality, Deen, Muslim women, women rights in Islam, hijab, hijab in Islam, purpose of hijab, modesty in Islam, Islamic misconceptions, myths about Islam, culture vs Islam, agnostic to Islam, questioning religion, finding faith, spiritual journey, Islamic clarification, returning to Islam, reconnecting with Islam, Bangla Islamic podcast, Bangladesh Islamic content, Esha Rushdi, The Other Side podcast, Fahamida Mounny interview, Islamic awareness, Islam and modern society, Islamic perspective, learning Islam, Islamic beliefs, Islamic teachings, Muslim community, faith and spirituality, Islamic inspiration.
