Unveiled

'Unveiled: The concept of roles and attire of women in Islam' is a translation of the Tamil book - 'Pengal Samooha Valvum Udayum' - authored by Usthaz Mansoor. We live in a patriarchal society where women's role in social affairs is extremely limited. Although women make half of society, their participation in its affairs is mostly secondary and disengaging. What is Islam's perspective on women and their social roles? This book addresses this question in its first part. Does Islam really promote a dress code that conceals the entire body? In a large and complex society, where women increasingly participate in social affairs, where numerous social, economic and political institutions exist, is this kind of attire fitting? What is the most suitable dress code for women in a society like ours? What is Islam's perspective on women's attire? These questions are addressed in the second part. This book is a monumental work. It unveils the concept of roles and attire of women in Islam in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Specially in a society where Muslims are a minority this book will be a guiding light.
