Islam improves and enhances the culture within a nation and improves the lives of citizens, especially the women. Islam brings balance and order to societies. In the history of humankind, there is a tendency toward unfairness and subjugation of women. In Islam, we know this is wrong.
Women
"Women in Islam" is perhaps the most controversial and misunderstood topic today.
A sad reality of our community is that there are Muslims, inside and outside of the Muslim world, who often fail to live up to Islam’s ideals when it comes to half of the Ummah, i.e. Muslim women. Muslim men and women’s ideal relationship in the context of the community is one of brother-and-sisterhood in faith. These are ideals that must be revived today.
In addition to practical tips in this section on dealing with and addressing Muslim women and their issues, here are two excellent must-read online books on this subject:
Gender Equity in Islam: Basic Principles by Dr. Jamal Badawi
Women in Islam and Muslim Society by Dr. Hassan Turabi
