An Outstanding Primer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As a non-Muslim, I found the explanations of Islamic views very clear and well delivered. The quotations from the Qu'ran and Ahadeeth are well selected. Misconceptions of Islamic views are dealt with by reference to those specific quotations from primary sources, which have ignited those misinterpretations. I found the book wholely honest and helpful. No propaganda, just simple, straightforward discussion of gender equity according to the Qu'ran and Ahadeeth. Included are many examples of cultural views in Muslim lands, which contradict Islamic views. This differentiation is vital to the reader, who would tend to see current non-Qu'ranic practices, such as that of the Afgan Taliban, as Islamic when it is but a perversion from Islam. I fully recommend this text for open-minded non-Muslims, who desire a fair treatment on the subject.

Dr. Badawi presents an authentic approach to gender equity in Islam and dispells certain misconceptions held by many muslims and non-muslims alike. He supports his position by drawing from examples in the Qur'an and the Hadeeth.This is a must-read for anyone who want to learn more about gender equity in the spirit of normative Islamic principles.

please don't buy into the portrayal of Islam as oppressive and unfair to women. Learn as much as you can before jumping on the hate bandwagon. There's more to life than just what YOU may hold to be true. Again, for a good explanation of the status of women and men in Islam, study this work by a great contemporary Islamic scholar, an excellent speaker, and a true gentleman.As-Salaamu A'alaikum.
