[Quoted from inside DJ] Women in Islam is about the status of Muslim women in society. Islam recognizes that women represent half of society and share with men the burden of building this society. They share duties and responsibilities, as well as challenges and opportunities. They also constitute one half of humanity. However, misinformed and confused, many Muslim women in contemporary societies are unable to distinguish between what is right and worthy and what is wrong and worthless. They have, as a consequence, suffered much and faltered more. The book elucidates in great detail and with much sensitivity the rights and obligations of women from the Islamic perspective.
