The status of a Woman in Islam

THE STATUS OF A WOMAN IN ISLAM; IN LIGHT OF THE QUR'AN AND SUNNAH is a product of the thoughtful and considered research of Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada of Jamia Al-Karam, who is a renowned religious scholar of Great Britain as well as a research scholar with deep understanding of contemporary issues. Comprehensively, yet with much brevity and clarity, the author has expressed and expounded upon the great status of respect and dignity with which Islam has honoured a woman; all in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

“Shaykh Pirzada has made positive and effective use of great effort and research and, after an extensive and deep study of Qur’anic exegeses, volumes of prophetic traditions and books of Islamic jurisprudence, he has provided authentic and sound references from the Islamic teachings. Moreover, to further support his findings, he has brought forward evidences from contemporary disciplines as well as scientific and psychological data and information. The opinions and statements of non- Muslims have also been mentioned. In this manner, as a result of the delightful mixture of rational and traditional proofs and with historical references, he has presented his thoughts and findings and, in doing so, has established the truthfulness of Islam, its greatness and pre-eminence.” - Professor Dr Bashir Ahmad Siddiqi,  University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan
