About This Book

In A Well Guarded Treasure, Iman Daglas, an American woman who was formerly Christian, writes about the moral and ethical values of Islam. She sets them against the pull between material desire and the search for truth and lasting peace.

The book takes on the common belief that Islam oppresses women and treats them as second-class citizens. The author argues the opposite: that Islam gave women their rights, and that a Muslim woman who wears proper hijab is, as the title puts it, a well-guarded treasure. The author aims to rely only on authentic hadith and reliable reports in making her case.
