Women in Islam
Women in Islam
From Khadijah to Maryam
Before the mosque was built, before the calendar began - a woman said yes.
That woman was Khadijah. The first believer. The merchant queen who funded a faith. The arms that held a trembling prophet and told him: you will be all right.
She was not alone.
This book recovers twenty-six women the tradition has too long left in the margins - the scholar whose memory shaped Islamic law, the warrior who bled at Uhud, the mystic who burned Paradise and drowned Hell, the captive who turned a massacre into a founding moment, and Maryam - the only woman named in the Quran, chosen above all the women of the world.
Written with reverence, rigour, and deep respect for the Islamic tradition, Women in Islam: From Khadijah to Maryam is a work of historical recovery and spiritual remembrance.
The faith was built with women's hands.
This book remembers them.
