About This Book
In The Ideal Muslimah, Dr. Muhammad Ali al-Hashimi describes the character of the Muslim woman as the Qur'an and Sunnah present it. He examines each of her relationships in turn, beginning with her relationship with Allah and extending outward to her family, her neighbors, and society.
This English edition, translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab and published by IIPH, is arranged as a practical reference. Each duty or right is explained, backed by evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and illustrated with examples from the righteous women of early Islam, among them 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
