المسلمة لدى المراهقين والشباب).
سيلما إهرام المرشحة المسلمة للانتخابات النيابية في
أستراليا، ورائدة للتعليم الإسلامي في الغرب.

1954م، وحصلت على درجة البكالوريوس في البيولوجيا البحرية من جامعة جيمس كوك، وقد
نشأت نصرانية وشاركت في النشاط التنصيري، ولكنها اعتنقت الإسلام في عام
1976.
قصة إسلامها
أثناء رحلتها إلى إندونيسيا عام 1976 عايشت الكثير من
المسلمين عن قرب ورأت منهم حُسن معاملتهم لبعضهم البعض من غير مصلحة يقصدونها، كما
رأت حسن استقبالهم للضيوف حتى ولو كانوا على غير دينهم، ورأت أيضا كيف يحافظ
المسلمين على عفة المرأة وصيانتها من الابتذال وتكريمهم لها على عكس ما كان يدَّعِي
رجال دينها، وفوق كل ذلك وجدت فى العقيدة الاسلامية بساطة وعقلانية لم تجدها فى
دينها الذي كتبته أيدي البشر. ومن هنا جاء قرار سيلما إهرام بالدخول في
الإسلام.
إسهاماتها
في عام 1979م أسست سليما إهرام المركز النسائي الإسلامي،
وفي عام 1983 كانت هي مؤسسة الكلية الإسلامية نور الهدى، كما ألَّفت كتابين، وتشارك

حزبًا سياسيًّا، وذلك عندما أصبحت مرشحة الحزب في الانتخابات
النيابية.

Around 30000 women in Switzerland have converted to
Islamaccording to a recent report by an organisation for Muslim women.
In an interview with swissinfoMonica Nur Sammour-Wüstone of those to have made the switchspeaks about her beliefs and her life as a Muslim in Switzerland.
Monica Nur Sammour-Wüst converted to Islam in 1992 (SF DRS)
Although raised as a Protestant35-year-old Nur Sammour-Wüst feels she has always been a Muslim.
She converted to Islam over a decade ago and looks back to an event in Sunday school as a harbinger of the change that was to come.
“The teacher told us that God sees and hears everythingbut that he sent his son Jesus as an intermediary to the world” she recalls.
“I went home and told my mother that if God sees and hears everythingI don’t need a mediator.”
“Nowas a Muslimif I pray for helpI pray directly” says Nur Sammour-Wüst. “Direct communication with God is a basic tenet of Islam.”
Fear of death
In 1991at the age of 22she met and married her first husbanda Lebanese.
“During that time I was always asking myself questionsespecially about death. I didn’t find the answers I sought in Christianity – theredeath is a taboo subject.”
Her husbandon the other handwho had lived through wardid not understand the Western fear of death – althoughlike herhe was only 22.
“For himeverything was clearbecause in Islam death is clearly defined” she says.
“I started to learn more about Islamand at one point suddenly I knew. I already believed in Godin the prophetsin the angelsin predestinationin resurrection. I was already MuslimI just had never realised it. In 1992 I officially converted.”
After her first husband died in a car accidentNur Sammour-Wüst remarried – again to a Lebanese. But after six years they divorced.
Muslim family
Now a single mothershe is raising her son and two daughters as Muslims.
“I am responsible for them – also religiously – until they are 18 years old” she says. “At home we live and practise Islamand the children accept it. I think it’s normal for them.”
And should one of her children no longer want anything to do with Islam?
“My most fervent wish to God is that this does not happen. It would be awful for mebecause to me Islam is a way of life. It is not like a shirt that you simply change.”
Stillshe feels religion and belief cannot be forced on anyone. “Ifin the worst casea child no longer wants anything to do with Islamthen upon reaching adulthood he or she must take responsibility for that decision.”
No exception
A common preconception is that Muslim women sit at home and are not allowed to go out in public. Nur Sammour-Wüstwho leads an active lifedenies she is an exception because she is Swiss.
“In the time of the prophet Mohammed1400 years agowomen were politically and intellectually active. The notion of house-bound women tied to the stove is patriarchalnot religious.”
According to Nur Sammour-WüstMuslim women in Switzerland often complain that they face more problems than their Swiss counterparts who have converted to Islam.
She puts much of this down to a failure to learn the language.
“They absolutely have to learn German” she says. “The prophet Mohammed also said that when you live somewherelearn the language that the people speak so you can communicate.”
“In my viewif Muslim women live in Switzerlandthey should be able to speak the language. If they learn Germanconstructive discussions can take place.”
