Description

This 8-volume series is the authors abridged version of his longer work with the same title, spanning a 25-year study of the main sources of Islamic teachings: the Quran and the authentic sunnah. The authors study comprised 14 great anthologies of hadiths, but in his book he only rarely includes hadiths from any anthology other than the two most authentic ones of al-Bukhari and Muslim. This series will illustrate the status of the Muslim woman that is greatly different from what is assumed in most Muslim societies today.

The Prophet established complete equality between men and women, with both having their respective special functions. This volume draws the features of the Muslim Woman in everyday social life in accordance to the Quran and Sunnah drawing upon specific examples of incidents as well as different prominent female figures in Islam during the Prophets lifetime. It shows that much of what we imagine to be Islamic rules are no more than social or cultural tradition.
