In the same way the eater rush upon their bowl, all cultural circles in both East and West have rushed upon “the Islamites” criticizing and defaming. They accused us of encroachment upon woman’s right, so they rendered their unfair judgment which declares that we “the community of Moslems’ are enemies and tyrants of woman; nay, we are a nation that all other nations laughed at for its negligence and oppression, particularly in regard to the issues of “divorce” and “polygamy”. They also imputed that we have squeezed the woman into the bottle of Prophet Solomon and sealed it with his signet when we put on her face “a veil”, too stifling and heavy, and hid her out of sight. Therefore, our standing has declined and our class degraded, and in their view; we have become an illiberal nation whose humanity has sunk to the bottom. Now, it is the time for the truth to present itself strongly and to fill Westerners’ thoughts about Islam with sublimity. It is going to intonate glory as an ideal with pride and make the whole universe hear its humanist voice. Today, the truth has been justified by he whose faithfulness achieved marvels. It is his majesty: the great eminent scholar Mohammad Amin Sheikho ‘his soul has been sanctifies by Al’lah. Indeed, whenever he is, the blessings will be.

A classic, pioneering account of the lives of women in Islamic history, republished for a new generation This pioneering study of the social and political lives of Muslim women has shaped a whole generation of scholarship. In it, Leila Ahmed explores the historical roots of contemporary debates, ambitiously surveying Islamic discourse on women from Arabia during the period in which Islam was founded to Iraq during the classical age to Egypt during the modern era. The book is now reissued as a Veritas paperback, with a new foreword by Kecia Ali situating the text in its scholarly context and explaining its enduring influence. “Ahmed’s book is a serious and independent-minded analysis of its subject, the best-informed, most sympathetic and reliable one that exists today.”—Edward W. Said “Destined to become a classic. . . . It gives [Muslim women] back our rightful place, at the center of our histories.”—Rana Kabbani, The Guardian

Gender politics exist inevitably in all Islamist movements that expect women to assume the burden of a largely male-defined tradition. Even in secular political movements in the Muslim world - notably those anti-colonial national liberation movements where women were actively involved- women have experiences since independence a general reversal of the gains made. This collection, written by women from the countries concerned, explores the gender dynamics of a variety of political movements with very different trajectories to reveal how nationalism, revolution and Islamization are all gendered processes. The authors explore women's experiences in the Algerian national liberation movement and more recently the fundamentalist FIS; similarly their involvement in the struggle to construct a Bengali national identity and independent Bangladeshi state; the events leading to the overthrow of the Shah and subsequent Islamization of Iran; revolution and civil war in Afghanistan; and the Palestinian Intifada. This book argues that in periods of rapid political change, women in Muslim societies are in reality central to efforts to construct a national identity.
