The Status Of Women In Islam (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161533385)

The Status of Women in Islam is a book written by Syed Ameer Ali that explores the role and position of women in Islamic society. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Quran and Hadiths, the two primary sources of Islamic law, to examine how women are treated and viewed within the religion. The author argues that Islam recognizes the equality of men and women and that women have been given significant rights and freedoms within the faith. He examines various aspects of women's lives, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and education, to demonstrate how Islamic law affords women legal protection and social status.The book also addresses the cultural practices that have developed around Islamic law and how these practices have often been used to oppress women. The author argues that these practices are not inherent to Islam but are instead a result of patriarchal attitudes and cultural traditions.Overall, The Status of Women in Islam provides a comprehensive and balanced examination of the position of women in Islamic society. It challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about the role of women in Islam and provides a nuanced understanding of the ways in which Islamic law can be used to empower women.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Spirit of Islam, by Ameer Ali Syed.
