About This Book

Islam defines distinct roles and responsibilities for men and women and restricts free mixing between them in society. This book explains those limits according to the Qur'an and Sunnah so that Muslims understand where the boundaries lie and why.

In the publisher's note, Abdul Malik Mujahid, general manager of Darussalam, explains the book's view that free mixing is a root cause of many harms, weakening family ties and the relationship between husband and wife, with women and children suffering most. The book also points out that attraction between men and women is natural and that Islam provides marriage as the lawful way to fulfill it and build a family, and it urges both men and women to restrain themselves for their own benefit.
