Gender Equity in Islam presents an overview of the status and rights of Muslim
women as defined by the Qur'an and Sunnah.  In this brief but important work, 
Dr. Jamal Badawi examines the spiritual, social, economic, and political 
aspects of women's position in Islam and, in doing so, effectively summarizes 
the role of women in Muslim society.  Further, in explaining the sources that 
provide the foundations for Islam's stance on gender equity, the author 
discusses the role of Islamic scholars in their approach to women's issues.


Dr. Badawi is a well-respected author and scholar of Islam. I respect him 
highly and also recommend this book to muslims and non-muslims alike (i wish 
it was required reading :))  Dr. Badawi takes no profit from his books and 
tapes, and the cost of his books are basically the cost of printing.  May we 
make duah for him and his family Ameen.
