The Muslim Womans Handbook

 The Muslim Woman's Handbook -
*[A5] Paperback - 87 pages, [2018 Reprint]
by Huda Khattab,
Published in the UK.



Description :


A sensitive and sensible look at the main issues with which Muslim women are often faced, not only as a result of ignorant attacks in the media by non-Muslims, but also in situations where they come across Muslims who are not fully aware of what the teach.


The Muslim Woman's Handbook is a practical guide to daily life as a Muslim woman in a non-Muslim society. It tackles such matters as 'Ibadah (worship), menstruation, Hijab, education, work, health, etc. in a down-to-earth manner. These are basic matters, but ones which we need to understand fully.


This book is the result of the author's personal experience and observations of the things a Muslim woman needs to know about. Aimed at born-Muslims and reverts alike, The Muslim Woman's Handbook should be on every Muslim woman's bookshelf.
