| description | This book brings to focus, ideas articulated by some contemporary Muslim writers during a three-day
conference organized by the International Institute for Muslim Unity (IIUM), on the politico-religious and
socio-economic challenges of Muslim women in our time. Edited by Hassan Ahmed Ibrahim and Zaleha
Kamaruddin, the book which features seventeen essays with an introductory note, addresses the
challenges facing Muslim Women across diverse cultural and national backgrounds. With a gist that
discrimination against women has no basis in Islam; the authors suggested what should be done in order
to remedy the dominant misrepresentation in many Muslim countries where women are held inferior. The
progress made by some Muslim countries where women enjoy political rights and are allowed
participation in the public domain were highlighted while places and areas where much need to be done
were also given due attention. By and large, the book opens a vista on how Muslim women can be
empowered such that the Ummah can optimize their contributions to its civilizational development. |
