The Noble Woman,
*[A5] Paperback - 48 pages, Revised Edition,
by Aliya Butt,
Edited by Abdassamad Clarke,
Published by Taha, UK.
Description :
This book explores why there is a gap between reality and popular
perceptions and draws upon the experiences of some young Muslimahs.
Ms Butt was first inspired to write this book whilst she was training as a Barrister. She took special interest in the status of women in Islam and learnt that the idea that Islam is oppressive against woman is a myth. It is this myth that has become a disturbingly prevalent notion that Islam is oppressive against women. On the contrary, women are highly respected and enjoy a dignified role within Islamic culture.
Includes 8 colour photographs.
New revised edition - The author Aliya Butt works as a senior Crown Prosecutor in the Midlands.
