Shedding light on the status of women prior to Islam, this book explains that women were ill-treated and humiliated in many cultures and how Islam put an end to all this injustice, gave women their proper status and established their rights. Islam considers that men and women have two different, but mutually complementary, roles in the family and in society and the relationship between them must be one of love and compassion. Both men and women are accountable to God for their deeds.
