The Honor of Women in Islam
A new title from the Islamic Supreme Council of America, now available for advance order

(ISCA Alert - 07/02/2002) The Islamic Supreme Council of America, a new publisher of mainstream titles on traditional Islamic doctrines and practices, is proud to announce the release of "The Honor of Women in Islam," by Professor Yusuf Da Costa, of Cape Town, South Africa.

As a member of ISCA's Advisory Committee, Dr. da Costa undertook the writing of this work as a
mission to elucidate the true respect and love for women inherent in the Islamic faith. Relying explicitly on the source texts of Islam, including the Holy Quran and the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Dr. da Costa details classical Islam's true teachings regarding the rights and roles of women. He then presents brief case studies of several leading female figures from Islamic history, including Mary mother of Jesus and Hagar hand-maiden of Sarah, whose exemplary lives truly demonstrate the honor and power God has bestowed upon women.

If we consider Islam in its traditional form, as practiced by the majority of Muslims throughout the world, we too may witness The Honor of Women in Islam.

This title is now available for advance order. Please email staff@islamicsupremecouncil.org to place your order, or visit our Web site for more information.
