ok basically im looking for the perfect Islamic book for women…which will tell me everything about how to live my life in the proper way. i need something which will deal with every aspect of life…andit doesnt matter about the price…tho i hope it aint gonna be too expensive…
so ok…just want something which can give me advice and guidance? and also something which will be available in UK, as im from the UK.
i hope someone knows of a brill perfect book…thanx in advance.
I came across a little packet/box of Islamic books - it’s called ** ISLAMIC TEACHINGS FOR WOMEN **
It has 6 books inside it:-
The rights and duties of Women in Islam
Selected Fatawa for Women
Guidelines for raising children
Mentruation & Postpartum Condition
Islamic dress code for women
To tell a lie and to envy.
This pack cost me £15
They are quite good books, interesting - backed up with quranic words and translations, its good.
I also got another one - that’s about women and islam - but my friend borrowed that, so when she gives it back - I’ll pass on the details, that was only a couple of quid..
But certainly ask for this pack of books - it’s quite good. -
I also got a book of salat for women
it tells you all about wuzu and how to pray namaz the correct way, it’s always good to see and check if you make any mistakes or pray some wrong stuff…
Beshthi Zevar in English - is also a good book to have on hand.
thanx alot Mem and HK…im definitely gonna research into these books…
Mem ill definitely be getting back to u once ive found that pack…sounds perfect…how big is it? hope it deals everything very very thoroughly. but it seems ideal…and the price is very good too. will definitely let u know. thanx.
HK…im sure gonna check that website out too…only problem is that i really wanted recommended books by anyone who has read them and is thinking, ‘this is one brilliant book…no women should be w/o it’. u know sometimes parents even give them these guidance kinda books to their daughters…as wedding gifts…coz its one of the most ideal books possible! so i really wanted ppl to recommend books to me. but im definitely gonna check out that website…check out the reviews…so thanx for that…
Kurri, if you can read Urdu, then try "Tazkaar e Sahabiyaat," by Talib Hashmi. It's one of the best I have ever came across. Touching every 'lil 'n big issue of the lives of Umhatul Momineen as well as sahabiyaahs PBUT.
Fatawa for women by Darussalam Publications is also superb.
Also try reading the english version of Tafheem ul Quran by the late Maulna Maudoodi. It's simply mind blowing.

this one im currently reading ** Azwajul Matehrat** is about the wives of the prophet and their lifestyle.....its a publication of "SAYYARA DIGEST"....(in urdu though...im not sure if an english publication actually exists for the issues of sayyara digest)....
neway, the book so far, is quite good...talks about female lifestyle in simple words and all...
you said you found a number - lemme know how you get on?
If not - the offer still stands - and Dont think of it as hassle… from one friend to another, it would be no problem at all for me to get them for you…
Hmmm, here’s another one, i really like, its not the ‘perfect islamic book’ you’re looking for wry smile but its good..trust me:) Its more of a personal account/diary, sort of like ‘Daughters of another path’.
Its called Adhan Over Anatolia, by Marian Kazi, and its really really really good, if u ever get a chance to read it…go for it
kurri i have “women in shari’ah”
which is quite a good book.. borrow it if u want also i want to know what u think of the pack cos i would like to get some books too… anyway chat to u later. and yeah i still have to check out the site.. will do..
