Book’s introduction

I can almost feel the shock when your eyes fell upon the title – ‘Muslim Women who Taught their Husbands’!? This shock most probably stemmed from the sad state of affairs many Muslims find themselves in today.

Muslim Women today may not teach their husbands because:

1. They don’t have that sort of knowledge to teach their husbands full stop.
2. The husband does not want to learn from his wife (how embarrassing my wife teaching me!).
3. One or both parties are just too busy to take time out to sit together and learn the deen¹ of Allah.
4. One or both parties have no or little interest in studying Islaam.

Yet the Muslims of yesterday were very different from the Muslims of today. There was a time when both husband and wife would sit together with a common love for the knowledge of this deen.

Those acquainted with Islamic knowledge will know that the scholars of the past were such that they

would travel for months in pursuit of just one hadeeth of the Prophet . For such men having a scholar as a wife was one of the greatest blessings in this world and a source of respect and honour.

How notorious it is then for someone to label the Scholars of Islaam as patriarchal and misogynist? Sadly, as the world is turning, ignorance is spreading; the Modernists (from whom branch out the

‘Islamic Feminists’) call for the re-interpretation of the words of Allah, his Prophet    and Islamic Jurisprudence as a whole, claiming that the Islaam we find today is the result of male opinions, thoughts and ideas.

To all those who believe it is degrading to learn from your wife

To all those who say that Muslim Women had no role in the spread of knowledge, To all those who say Islaam is a misogynist and patriarchal religion,

To all those women who seek to change Islamic Jurisprudence claiming it is andocentric,

I dare you to read on.
