Description

The book “Women in Islam” was authored by M. Mazheruddin Siddiqi, a Professor of History who taught at Jamshoro University, Hyderabad, Sindh and many other universities at Karachi. In this book the author wants to acquaint the readers with the fact that the rights and freedom of women which the west blindly demands today as a crying need has reasonably been afforded to them by Islam 1400 years ago without corrupting its basic principles. For this purpose, the author explains woman’s status and rights in Islam by comparing her with woman in the West too convincingly, specially quoting the best western psychologists and other writers of profound learning and research who scientifically verify the position of Islam about woman. He has, undoubtedly, succeeded to prove that Islam from its very inception has given more than the West is demanding for a woman today and it is still flexible to adjust woman in society with the changing time and needs.
