Works[edit]
Hassen has campaigned for Muslim rights and feminism within Islam.[1] She wrote many works that focused on getting rid of false common ideas about Muslims, Arabs, and Muslim women.[2] She used quotes from the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad as evidence to support her view.[2] Hassen also participated in protests to support Arabs in the US.[3] Along with her husband, Ali Hassen, she started the Egyptian Arab American Seaman's Society to spread the message of Islam to the wider public and support Arab-American Muslims.[3] She also began another organization, the Islamic Sorority, to give a safe space for Muslim women and their children to practice their faith.[3] Hassen held leading roles in other Islamic organizations, such as the Islamic Center of New York and the Federation of Islamic Associations.[3] She became friendly with many important Muslim and Arab people, such as Malcolm X, and the Saudi prince Talal bin Abdulaziz.[3] She wrote multiple works about Muslim feminism.[2]
