Book Hero thinking about your next read

Part of an 8 volume series, this author's abridged version of his longer work of the same title illustrates the status of the Muslim woman in Islam which differes from what is assumed in society today.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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.

The Character of the Muslim Woman 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.
