In a major address to thousands of women and girls in Tehran on Wednesday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that Islam grants women a highly respected and equal position in society, while sharply criticizing what he called the “corrupt Western culture” toward women. <br /> <br />Ayatollah Khamenei said the Qur’an presents women with the “highest and most progressive” identity, and cited Fatima al-Zahra (SA) — daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) — as the ultimate role model. He described her as a woman of worship, humility, bravery, sacrifice, wisdom, and leadership, saying Iranian women draw strength and guidance from her example. <br /> <br />#Khamenei #AyatollahKhamenei #HijabLaw #HijabControversy #WomenRightsIran #KhameneiOnWomen #IranHijab #HijabProtest #KhameneiTweet #AyatollahAliKhamenei #IranWomen #DefendHijab #KhameneiUS #HijabDebate #KhameneiStatement<br /><br />~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~
