Abstract
Islam guarantees the rights and well-being of women and children comprehensively, which historically was unprecedented before Islam. However, contemporary socio-cultural norms often fail to adequately protect these rights. Alamgir (2014) emphasizes the importance of women understanding their rights and needs to combat societal discrimination. Similarly, Harlina Siraj (2015) underscores the significance of women being aware of gender equality and their societal roles. In predominantly Muslim Malaysia, safeguarding women's and children's rights is crucial yet often overlooked, leading to issues like domestic violence, child neglect, rising divorce rates, and emotional/physical abuse. This study aims to educate women and children about their legal rights, particularly under Sharia law, through ISHRAT.EY, a linktree innovation. ISHRAT.EY serves as an accessible platform providing legal information, empowering users to assert their rights effectively and efficiently. It facilitates quick access to essential legal knowledge, benefiting not only individuals seeking protection but also aiding law students in researching Islamic law. Using a qualitative approach with document analysis, this study examines primary sources such as the Islamic Family Law Act of 1984 (Act 303) and secondary sources like these, articles, journals, and books. The goal is to enhance awareness and understanding of Sharia-based rights among women and children. Ultimately, ISHRAT.EY aims to promote empowerment and proper protection for women and children within the framework of Sharia law, offering a straightforward solution to accessing legal information.
