From my Sisters' Lips  by Na'ima B. Robert 
   Paperback   :   431 Pages        

Covered from head to toe, with only her eyes visible, the sight of a Muslim woman on a Western city street rarely fails to provoke a strong reaction. Feelings of shock, horror, repulsion, pity - or even fear - are not uncommon. But have you ever wondered about the woman `behind the veil'? Have you ever wondered what her life is really like and how her hopes, dreams and aspirations differ from yours?

Now, in From My Sisters' Lips, Na'ima B. Robert offers a rare glimpse into the lives of a community of women, most of whom are converts to Islam and invites you to share their joys, sorrows, convictions and faith.  

Na'ima recounts the compelling story of her conversion to Islam she also offers first-hand accounts of just some of the extraordinary women she has come to know in recent years - women like herself who have chosen to live as Muslims. What emerges is a vivid and intimate portrait of a sisterhood. As they speak candidly on diverse subjects ranging from marriage to motherhood, stereotypes, submission and self-image, we hear the strong, proud voices of those who are seldom heard.

  Islam : The Empowering of Women                                    by Aisha Bewley 
 
   Paperback - 72 pages  

Book Description : '' Reading historical sources throughout the centuries of Islamic history, we find lots and lots of women active in all areas of life, and then suddenly it stops.
What happened?
How and why have things changed in the last three hundred years to the extent that it is unusual to find women involved in Islamic sciences and, unlike in the past, very few Muslim men would even consider being taught by a Muslim woman?
This is a phenomenon which requires in-depth research. It is time to re-examine the sources and re-assess how Muslim women in the past acted so that we can escape the limiting perspectives which have come to be the norm.

To this end, we will examine three perspectives: the Scholarly Woman, the Political Woman, and the Spiritual Woman. ''

The Noble Woman           by Aliya Butt

 Paperback - 48 pages

 
New revised edition - The author Aliya Butt works as a senior Crown Prosecutor in the midlands.

Ms Butt was first inspired to write this book whilst she was training as a Barrister. She took special interest in the status of women in Islam and learnt that the idea that Islam is oppressive against woman is a myth. It is this myth that has become a disturbingly prevalent notion that Islam is oppressive against women. On the contrary, women are highly respected and enjoy a dignified role within Islamic culture.

This book explores why there is a gap between reality and popular perceptions and draws upon the experiences some young Muslimahs. Includes 8 colour photographs.

The Importance of Sisterhood in Islam

 Paperback - 84 pages  

by Ruqaiyah Abdullah.                    Edited by Abdassamad Clarke. 
 
Sisterhood is a very important aspect of Islam, yet its true significance isoften under-valued. Sisterhood entails many rights and responsibilities, and mutual duties and obligations. Despit this, it is disappointing to see how little of it we actually observe and put into practice. This book is a source of inspiration for Muslim women who naturally wish to enjoy fulfilling their Islamic duties and responsibilities towards fellow Muslim sisters.  

This is an invaluable book that will help Muslim women improve social relations and strengthen ties within the Muslim community, an important duty that is incumbent upon us all.
