A short study dealing with the special status the woman holds in Islam as opposed to her mistreatment in Jahiliya. This book starts with a brief survey of the status of women in previous civilisations and religions, and in the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah). It then provides a fair evaluation of what Islam contributed towards the restoration of woman?s dignity and rights which is just as relevant in today?s modern Jahiliyah as it was in the past.
