Women's status in Islam is one of the most controversial and serious issues of our time, not only among Muslim women and those who represent them in the area of women's rights in the Islamic world, but also among fundamentalist Muslims. The reader may find himself confused owing to the large number of books that treat this subject, for the most part, superficially and partially. Some cover Islam's achievements for the woman, maintaining that it was Islam that gave the woman her rights and honor while others blame all the disadvantages in the position of Muslim women on Islam.
