MAIN ISSUES THAT COMPRISE NABAWIYA MUSA AND HER DIVAN FROM NIL VALLEY

Abstract

Although the issue of women's rights has been raised in every period, it has come to the fore in the last two centuries. This issue, which attracts attention and supports all over the world, is also expressed in every settlement that constitutes Islamic geography. One of those places is the geographical Egyptian Valley. Many women in this region have been interested in this issue. One of them is Nabawiya Musa. Besides, it is also possible to count women such as Khuda Shaaravi, Bahisetulbadiye (Melek bint Hifni Nasif), Verde al-Yazici, Seza Nabrawi, Zeyneb Fevvaz, Heylana al-Barudi, Salma Kastali, Hanna Kesbani, Mariana Marraş and Sare Nawfel. The majority of the women mentioned have studied in foreign schools and are influenced by Western culture. Some are completely influenced by Western culture, while others vindicated women's rights by adhering to their indigenous culture, customs and traditions. For example, Nabawiya Musa does not oppose Islamic culture, although she works on women's social and cultural rights. Although some female writers from her contemporaries did not compliment the veil and veiling, she did not remove her headscarf even though she was in the official delegation at both national and international meetings. It can even be said that Nabawiya Musa is persistent and sensitive in this matter. In this study, the biography of Nabawiya Musa, her work titled “Divan” and the topics including her work were discussed
