Religious obligations of Muslim women

by Israr Ahmed

The present booklet is divided into two sections. First section is laden with Islamic terminology and footnotes. May prove nuisance for a reader unfamiliar with or indifferent to such terminology. For such readers a second section has been added which is more flowing and leaves out most of the terminologies and all footnotes.

About the author

Dr. Israr Ahmed, (1932-2010) was a Pakistan-based Muslim religious figure who has been described as well-known among Muslims in Pakistan, India, the Middle East, and North America. Born in East Punjab, (now part of Haryana) in India, the second son of a government servant, he is the founder of the Tanzeem-e-islami, an off-shoot of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
He has spent the "last forty years" actively engaged in "reviving the Qur'an-centered Islamic perennial philosophy and world-view" with "the ultimate objective of establishing a true Islamic State, or the System of Khilafah." Ahmed is skeptical of the efficacy of "parliamentary politics of give-and-take" in establishing an "Islamic politico-socio-economic system" as implementing this system is a "revolutionary process".

Illustrative and free of historical and cultural baggage, the author gives a fairly decent overview.
