[Book Review] 🧕Muslim Women’s Participation in Professional, Social and Political Life (#3 Women’s Emancipation during the Prophet’s Lifetime)🧕

🧮 Score: 3.7/5.0

■ I think the most interesting portion of this volume would be in Chapter 3 -- in regards to women’s political participation. My “ranking” followed by Chapter 1, about women in professional sectors. As a so-called independent woman, these issues picked my interest because, contrary to some “orthodox Islamic belief systems” where a good muslimah must stay confined within their home and their movements should be restricted only to selected occasions and locations. Thus, this volume provides valid arguments and clarity to address these issues.

■ In the practical, reality of life, women deserve an education, and women deserve rights. After all, when Islam emerged during the Jahiliyyah period, it empowered women! Therefore, women's involvements in workforces and political scenes are a necessity for our ummah to strive successfully, biiznillah. After all, men and women are created to complement each other in running this earth, each of us has our fitrahs to contribute. That is why, to have a smoother society management on all levels, interactions and beneficial discussions among men and women being present in the same place, is inevitable. Of course, at the same, we must abide by the Islamic code of ethics. Islam is easy, there are guidelines for everything. People complicate matters.

■ "Learn from history for a better future." As Muslims, we should always go back to the Quran and authentic hadiths. Then, the fatwas and other Kitabs by our verified, respectful scholars in Islam, in all fields. These sources provide solid and sound foundations and exemplary acts for us to refer to and get inspired. InshaAllah, with efforts and tawakkal, we will find solutions and uplift any oppressions. From this research, we will able to effectively strategise plans to be implemented in today’s issues. I highly appreciate the author’s and translator’s sincere efforts to educate and fix these centuries-old misconceptions. One of the few “pioneer” genres in the scene of English Islamic Books.

■ At the end of the day, the author is also a humble human, and he tried his level best. May Allah swt reward him abundantly for his intentions and good deeds. Having said that, within his content in this particular volume, here and there, there were times his explanations were a bit unclear or confusing. I am not sure whether it is due to linguistic issues due to cultural differences, or the meaning was lost in translation. Or, it was just me who failed to understand his words. Wallahualam.

■ Overall, this volume is recommended for casual readers and slow-paced students of knowledge to gain useful insights. It triggers critical thinking and is a good starting point before we delve into a more serious book. ---

"A man is washed clean with a glass of water, but the entire sea can't clean a woman."

—Albanian Proverb.

Meaning: Men are easily forgiven for the same mistakes with a small gesture, while women face ongoing judgment, revealing unfair expectations based on gender. This proverb shines a light on sexism within a culture, illustrating unequal forgiveness based on gender and emphasizing the need for awareness and change.
