The Character of the Muslim Woman: Women's Emancipation During the Prophet's Lifetime - Paperback

by Abd Al-Halim Abu Shuqqah (Author), Adil Salahi (Translator)

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established complete equality between men and women as he said, "Women are full sisters of men". Yet both have their respective special functions. This volume draws out the features of the Muslim woman's character as outlined in the Qur'an and Sunnah. It shows that much of what we imagine to be Islamic rulings are no more than social traditions.
