This book provides a profound understanding of the role of women in Islam and tackles common misconceptions on the subject. Not only does it discuss the roles of women in marriage and among their families – but also their families – but also their roles as warriors, worshipers, scholars and callers to Islam. It gives its readers a guided explanation as each role is accompanied by stories of great women as told in the Quran and Sunnah.

This book narrates the stories of about sixty great women whose names and exemplary behaviour are enshrined in the history of Islam.
