<b>CALIFORNIA, USA - With this inaugural khutba at the Women's Mosque of America, Edina Lekovic reflects on the historic moment as a continuation of the legacy of Muslim women and as a symbolic moment of introspection and opportunity for the American Muslim community. As more and more mosques create space for women in educational and leadership roles, we must be ready and willing to step up to the plate and contribute their talents. That is God's message to us - that we must strive and struggle with our lives and possessions, whether we are equipped lightly or heavily, in His cause. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America seeks to uplift the Muslim community by empowering women and girls through more direct access to Islamic scholarship and leadership opportunities. The Women's Mosque of America will provide a safe space for women to feel welcome, respected, and actively engaged within the Muslim Ummah. It will complement existing mosques, offering opportunities for women to grow, learn, and gain inspiration to spread throughout their respective communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America provides women-led Friday jumma'a services for women and children (including boys 12 and under) once a month in Southern California. In addition, the Women's Mosque of America provides programming, events, and classes open to both men and women that will aim to increase community access to female Muslim scholars and female perspectives on Islamic knowledge and spirituality. </div>

<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Many women say they have always wanted to get married but have never found the right man.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now a 31-year-old filmmaker from London has got around the problem by tying the knot to herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grace Gelder had been single for six years when she decided to organise the unorthodox ceremony on her own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She proposed to herself on a park bench, bought a ring and a dress and invited all of her friends to watch her make her vows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ms Gelder told the <i>Guardian</i>: ‘The day was obviously centred on me, the final event being a mirror for me to kiss, but it also felt like I was sharing something very special with my friends, giving everyone an opportunity to reflect on their own ideas of love and commitment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘I had one friend in her 50s who said it was one of the best weddings she’d ever been to.'</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The photographer said that after being single for six years she had built up a brilliant relationship with herself – and creating that bond with someone else seemed like too much hard work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2iltgoWWswgtxCtlx1IqOA3rFNaMFfAbOaZHcOQbPAv5sIqg4H_tZo1Gl363BJxLXaVcC9_O6aGWA5YwkxaXu394HrIcTgm5q6V1HKgBOcns0SaUi4SU2e-RTvcle36FaSEO0dVDBEOc/s1600/SelfMarriage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2iltgoWWswgtxCtlx1IqOA3rFNaMFfAbOaZHcOQbPAv5sIqg4H_tZo1Gl363BJxLXaVcC9_O6aGWA5YwkxaXu394HrIcTgm5q6V1HKgBOcns0SaUi4SU2e-RTvcle36FaSEO0dVDBEOc/s1600/SelfMarriage1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inspired by the Björk song <i>Isobel</i>, which includes the line, <i>‘My name’s Isobel, married to myself'</i>. the Londoner said the lyric struck a chord with her and it was then she decided to walk solo down the aisle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From proposing to herself on the park bench in Parliament Hill, London, last November, right through to the ceremony in mid-March this year, the matrimony was approached like an ordinary wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grace bought a dress, a ring, rehearsed vows and eventually wed in a farmhouse in rural Devon watched by her sister and friends -sealing the deal by planting a kiss on a mirror.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
