How Should Muslims View Unqualified Online Preachers Who Misrepresent Islam?

The true essence of Islam is based on balance, rights, and wisdom. Portraying only men as responsible for spreading Islam is a wrong notion. History provides clear evidence that many women played a significant role in spreading Islam and transmitting knowledge. In particular, Ammā Aisha (RA), who was the most knowledgeable among the female companions, and from whom even the Sahabah themselves sought knowledge. This shows that in Islam, not only men but also women have an active role in spreading the religion and knowledge.

Regarding a woman’s voice, saying that it is always a source of fitnah (temptation) is a generalization made without knowledge or context. Shari’ah does not consider this true in every case, and making such statements is akin to issuing a fatwa without proper basis, which can confuse people.

Islamic teachings give equal importance to the responsibilities, respect, knowledge, and wisdom of both genders. Men and women are both encouraged to be active in propagating Islam, practicing it, and contributing to society.

Therefore, our opinion is completely opposed to the statements of these internet “Dawah bros”. Islam is not male-centered, and labeling a woman’s voice or role as fitnah is incorrect. The true Islam is a religion based on balance, knowledge, wisdom, and rights.
