Gender Equity In Islam English Jamal A. Badawi

“Gender Equity In Islam” by Dr. Jamal A. Badawi is a concise yet comprehensive analysis that addresses the often-misunderstood topic of women’s rights and status within the framework of Islamic law and ethics. The book systematically contrasts the Islamic concept of equity (fairness and recognition of differences) with the Western concept of absolute equality, highlighting how Islam grants women economic, social, political, and spiritual rights that were revolutionary for their time and remain vital today. Badawi uses Qur’anic and Sunnah-based arguments to debunk common misconceptions and demonstrate that the Islamic legal framework ensures genuine gender justice and dignity for women, making this an essential text for interfaith dialogue and Islamic feminist studies.
