Woman in Islam

Woman in Islam by Muhammad Zafrulla Khan (1893–1985) dispels the myths surrounding the treatment of women in Islam. It refutes the notion commonly held in Western societies that Islam considers women to be inherently inferior to men. The author disproves this misconception by documenting the specific references from the Holy Quran and Hadith that elevate the spiritual status of women to that of their male counterparts and provides for their inalienable rights under Islamic Law.

The book highlights Islam as an organized movement that pioneered the cause of women’s rights. The Islamic faith established the dignity and respect of women during a time when they were long forgotten and in a land where they were sorely abused. Woman in Islam is an essential read for those who wish to acquaint themselves with an authoritative and general overview of this topic.
