Islam And Gender Justice

The book is a solemn attempt to rediscover the Qur`anic basis of gender equality and thus provide a convincing case about why Islam is not intrinsically a patriarchal religion and why Muslim women and men can jointly struggle nfor fairness and equity within an Islamic framework. This is, also, a passionate intellectual plea for reinterpretation and rereading of the Qur`anic text based on the Scriptural norms of fairness and justice.
