Description

Embark on a journey through the various stages of life, from marriage to divorce and widowhood, to witness how women living within the Islamic tradition are endowed with the right to safeguard their financial independence. This comprehensive exploration confronts an ongoing disconnect between Islamic law and Muslim family dynamics to equip men and women alike with the knowledge and tools to uphold these rights. Importantly, the book fosters a deep understanding of how Islamic financial empowerment plays a pivotal role in shaping not just the lives of women and their family members, but society as a whole. In this engaging book which surveys key Islamic texts, delve into the stories of 21 diverse American women who candidly share their experiences with these financial rights, offering insight into some of both the most challenging and empowering dimensions of their marriages.
