A difficult but highly important topic is dealt with by the Author who is a trained expert on the Legal aspects of Marriage who has advised hundreds of couples.
What should be done in cases of breakdown of relationships? Must the partners stay in the hell they have made? Or may a way-out be found for them? Orthodox Christianity says blankly. "No divorce!" But Islam more realistically faces the consequences of irreparable breakdown as a fact, and provides a way-out. Every possible safeguard is laid down in the statute book to prevent such a way-out by divorce being abused.

The Qur'an speaks of living with each other on a footing of love, kindness, mercy and mutual consultation between husband and wife. It also addresses those times when the atmosphere is strained.
This paper examines the issue of marital discord with a deep sensitivity to the perspective of women. Criticising an approach to the Qur'an that is misogynistic rather than emancipatory the paper moves the debate forward by introducing an alternative interpretation of the Qur'anic text dealing with the issue of marital discord. The explanation is fresh, firmly on the side of women's human rights and recaptures the full Islamic spirit of human dignity.
Dr Abdul Hamid A Abu Sulayman is the President of The International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), a private, non-profit, academic and cultural institution, concerned with general issues of Islamic thought. The Institute was established in the United States of America in 1981 (1401 AH).
Woman in Islam
By B.Aisha Lemu, Fatima Heeren
ISBN: 0-86037-004-6
Publisher: The Islamic Foundation UK
Paperback 52 Pages:
During the last fifteen
years since I came to accept Islam," writes Aisha Lemu, "I have been
asked many questions about the Muslim way of life by non-Muslim friends and
acquaintances. The ignorance of the ordinary educated Westerner about Islam is
almost total; but the area where the vacuum of knowledge has been most
effectively filled with misinformation is possibly concerning the role of
women," she adds in the first chapter of this stereotype-shattering book.
Woman in Islam is written by two Western converts to Islam: Lemu, who is from
England and Fatima Heeren, who is from Germany. It is a brief and clear
exposition of the Islamic perspective on women's rights in Islam written by
two educated Muslim women.
It includes chapters on "sticky" topics like polygamy, Islamic dress
code for women and men, arranged marriages, inheritance laws and more. It also
has a solid and well-written discussion of Muslim family life.
written by Muslim women who know both civilizations, Islamic and Western. It
is a wonderful resource for public school libraries, as a gift for non-Muslims
and Muslims, as well as an addition to your personal library.
This was a
presentation before the international Islamic conference organised by the
Islamic Council of Europe in 1976

Raising Children According to the Qur'an and Sunnah
[Faramarz Bin Muhammad Rahbar]
Publisher: Abul Qasim Publishing House (Saudi
Arabia), 1415 Hijra
Pages: 95 Binding: Paperback
Raising children is a great
responsibility. Parents must be constantly alert to prevent their children from
going astray. This is a tremendous challenge in itself, and it is multiplied for
those Muslims who must raise children in non-Islamic environments, where social
and peer pressure often clash with many Islamic principles and ideals. Parents
CAN cope with the problems of raising children if they strive to do so according
to the Quran and Sunnah. The author attempts to describe essential educational
components for parents, along with ideological, intellectual, psychological,
social, ethical, sexual and physical educational components.
