Woman in the Quran

About this book

Between the silence of centuries and the clamor of modernity, the question of woman looms as an eternal riddle pens have not been content to narrate, but kept searching for an anchorage worthy of her being. In this book, the giant Abbas Mahmoud Al-Aqqad embarks on a majestic intellectual journey, not to display texts, but to dive into the depths of the human psyche through the mirror of revelation. Al-Aqqad begins by stripping the masks from distorted concepts, progressing from "the natural disposition" instilled by the Creator, to the finest details of "rights and duties" in the niche of family and society. In a rigorous literary style, Al-Aqqad weaves threads of mystery around the "philosophy of existence" and the differentiation of the sexes, then soon turns them into a torch of inspiration lighting the essence of "human treatment" rising above the logic of strength and weakness, ascending to the rank of justice and kindness. The book is no mere jurisprudential or social study, but an exploratory journey into the conscience of woman as the Quran drew it, in which he challenges imported ideas and confronts rigid legacies, proving that dignity.
