The topic of ‘Women in Islam’ has long been a subject of heated discussion and controversy among scholars in both East and West. Several authors have produced books and pamphlets on this topic. Dr. Zakaria Bashier in this short paper has made a successful attempt to summarize the viewpoint of different scholars and vindicate the ‘Traditional
viewpoint’ based on the strict interpretation of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. I hope his researches on an issue of
such importance will give new direction and a fresh approach to all who want to uphold the Islamic viewpoint without in any way compromising with modern Western culture.
May to Allah accept the author’s effort and make it a source of inspiration and guidance for all, Ameen!
