Synopsis Popular belief is that women have no freedom and no status in an Islamic society, but this is based on total ignorance and misinformation. The half baked knowledge leads people to such conclusions. In fact women, as per Islamic teachings and philosophy, enjoy a respectable status, at par with men in all spheres, be that family, life career and even polity. It would not be false to say that average scholars do not know this and who do, they do not realise it. This study, a result of painstaking research, is based on religious scriptures and documents. It shows the world, what the real state of affairs is. This book may prove to be an eye opener for the intellectuals and the general readers alike.
